Present during the event were Board Member Atty.

Barangay Captain Lopez, who now has full responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the water system facility, formally accepted the ceremonial key.

 

Meanwhile, Tribal Chieftain Datu Pandoy thanked the Cagas Administration for its help and support to the people of Brgy. Caputian, Malalag. “Years have passed in Brgy. Caputian, and no projects similar to this portable water system project have ever happened. We, the indigenous people living here, are very grateful to Governor Cagas for giving us this project that seemed impossible at the time, but he fulfilled our wishes in good time,” he said.
