ADVERTISEMENTMimbalawag, who claimed to represent 11,000 individuals directly affected by the ongoing rehabilitation, said over the weekend that they were not notified when the state sequestered their lands. “She was told that they would no longer collect taxes because our property inside the MAA was covered by the government’s rehabilitation projects,” Mimbalawag said. He said at least 81 land titles would be affected if the NHA map would be used but the affected land titles would increase to 114 if the Marawi LGU map would be followed. Mimbalawag said they were not consulted when the government decided to use their land for development projects. He said several residents had land titles to prove ownership.
