headed by Leonito M. Gaveria conducted an organizational and leadership
training to the group. Majority of them are identified as Agrarian Reform
Beneficiaries (ARBs). This activity marks the beginning of DAR’s intervention

were able to express their desire of having an access road towards their area
which is an ancestral domain and protected from the Comprehensive Agrarian
Reform Program. In behalf of Hon. Claudith So, Municipal Mayor of Matnog,
Figueroa said that Naburacan IPs will take a big part in the tourism activities
of the locale. This implies that they should have a showcase of their culture if
guests visit Naburacan, Matnog.
