FLORIDABLANCA -- The sleepy and inaccessible village of Nabuclud here is now the site of a multi-million peso master plan that aims to draw in tourists and improve the lives of Aeta tribes through high-value crop cultivation.
This developed as Governor Lilia Pineda visited Barangay Nabuclud on Wednesday for the finalization and initial start of the development master plan that includes the construction of tourism-related facilities and the clearing of ancestral lands to be devoted to agricultural cultivation.
Pineda met with barangay chairman Roger Apang and other tribal leaders joined by Board Members Fritzie David-Dizon, Nestor Tolentino, Teresito Lingad and Ricardo Yabut.
She said it is essential to make the 9,000-square meter ancestral land productive to improve the lives of the Aeta community in the area.
