BAGUIO CITY — Sixty residents of this mountain resort city and the nearby province of Benguet received their long awaited titles of the land which they are occupying from Vice President Jojemar C. Binay during the Pabahay Caravan held here March 7.

Out of the said number of beneficiaries from the community mortgage program of the government, 54 are members of the Kibungan Village Homeowners Association in Puguis, La Trinidad, Benguet while six are members of the Baguio Neighborhood for Good Area Relocation in the city.

Binay personally handed over to the beneficiaries their respective titles to their lands to show proof they are legitimate owners of the lands.
