The inspecting team from the Ministry of Human Settlements and Development (MHSD) of the BARMM identified a viable site for construction of housing for human settlements in Barangay Kudal, Pagalungan, Maguindanao.

The team, led by Director General Esmael W. Ebrahim, visited and checked the actual site on May 20, 2021 which they found a prospective location for human settlements projects that will benefit victims of calamities.

With the assistance of Hon. Brgy. Chairman Suharto Hashim, the team assessed the area and found a slight issue as it is prone to flooding, thus, houses would either need to be raised or the foundations embanked.

Chairman Hashim chose the latter option and committed to take charge of the earth fill.

Director General Ebrahim said the target beneficiaries were landowners who were victims of natural and human-induced calamities in Pagalungan.

The identified location in Brgy. Kudal is the birth place of late Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Chairman Sheikh Salamat Hashim.

Planning Officer Zainodin A. Buisan said the team will be returning at a later date for landmarking plots.

Meanwhile, further planning on housing units and their establishment will proceed after approval and after receiving funds from the Ministry of Finance, and Budget, and Management (MFBM).
