Rey Valera brings music and laughter to Bulakenyos

CITY OF MALOLOS – A proud Bulakenyo, Rey Valera from Meycauayan, Bulacan gave Bulakenyos a night of feel good music and laughter during the Araw ng Ginintuang Gulang, a free concert for senior citizens and veterans organized by the Provincial Government of Bulacan (PGB) and Globe Telecom held recently.

“Ipinagmamalaki ko talaga ang mga kababayan ko kahit saan ako mapunta and I am proud to be a Bulakenyo,” Valera said.

The concert later on became open to everyone, young and old, to accommodate and give entertainment to more Bulakenyos.

Meanwhile, before Valera sang his heart out and bring memories back, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region 3 (DENR-3), PGB and Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) signed a Deed of Cooperation to advocate the implementation of the Residential Free Patent Act (RA 10023) among the local government units within the jurisdiction of DENR-3 through the Partnership for Land Rights and Governance (PLG).

“Property is intended to serve life, napakalaking biyaya na matupad ang pangarap ng ating mga kababayan na magkakaroon ng titulo. Alam ba ninyo kung magkano lamang ang dapat ninyong gastusin sa titulong ito? Animnapung piso, no more, no less,” Gov. Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado said.

The Handog Titulo Program initially gave land titles to 100 beneficiaries.

“Marami po sa ating mga kababayan ang nawawalan na ng pag-asa sa tagal na makuha ang kanilang titulo, ito lang po ang masasabi ko, sabi nga sa napakalalim na tagalog sa Bulacan, na ang pagsapit ng dapit hapon ay hindi katapusan ng araw bagkus ito’y hudyat lamang ng isang bagong bukang liwayway,” Asst. Regional Director Arthur Salazar, DENR-3 said.

Also, Atty. Reynante Orceo, FEF Local Government Adviser said that the process for application of land titles should not be more than five months.

“Mabilis po ang proseso, sa loob ng 120 araw lalabas na ang inyong titulo. Hindi n’yo po kailangan ng mga abogadong katulad ko dito, pwedeng kayo mismo ay pumunta sa tanggapan ng PGB o DENR upang mag-apply. Ito naman pong programang ito’y tuluy-tuloy hanggang sa magkaroon ng titulo ang bawat mamamayan ng Bulacan,” Atty. Orceo said.
