Cementing a strong educational foundation for the next three years, local officials here have gained step one, pushed by the common desire to uplift the life of the people and transform Catigbian into a green haven of peace, progress and development.

  In this line, the local government officials led by Mayor Roberto Salinas and Vice Mayor Niceta Digaum were just too happy to announce the town’s acquisition of a 4.2 hectare lot in Barangay Haguilanan. 

  As this happens, the highlight would be good news as the town prepares for the Katigbawan Festival, a jubilee timed for Catigbian Foundation Days this week. 

  Mayor Salinas, through a text message said, a hectare of the lot would be donated to the Department of Education (Dep-ED) for the construction of a school building as an annex to the Catigbian National High School (CNHS). 

  The lot, situated along the national road was acquired at the measly cost of P700,000.

  The latest acquisition has raised the town’s land assets to 11 hectares.

  Aside from assets it acquired in the past, the town was also able to get 3.2 hectares farm, upon where now occupies the town’s demonstration farm in Poblacion. Interestingly, the same investment again allows access to informal education to its farmers and younger generation of leaders.
