CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Nov. 22 – The 17th City Council of Cagayan de Oro on its regular session on Monday is slated to act on the proposed resolution accrediting the Mambuaya, Bayanga, Agro Forest Lumad Farmers Association, Inc., for purposes of its membership in the Local Special Bodies (LSB).

This is pursuant to Department of Interior and Local Government Memorandum Circular No. 2013-70 and Article 64, Rule XIII of the Rules and Regulations Implementing the 1991 Local Government Code.

The application for accreditation was favorably endorsed by the City Planning and Development Office noting that it has complied with all the administrative requirements that would qualify the civil society organization for endorsement to the City Council.

This was reviewed and endorsed by the committees on agriculture and fisheries and on laws and rules chaired by Councilors Annie Daba and Ramon Tabor, respectively.
