Tribal council receives timely Yuletide gifts

THE Mansaka Tribal Council of Magnaga recently received the funds agreed to as part of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that the King-King Copper-Gold Project (KGCP) committed for their livelihood and social services program. The P1-million cheque could not have come in a more opportune time—during the Yuletide season.

Melindo Lee, tribal chieftain of Barangay Magnaga, received the check from Clyde Gillespie with KGCP fulfilling a commitment provided in the MOU between the Mansaka Tribal Council of Magnaga and the mining company. The MOU was signed in 2012 with the mining company committing to make the payment before the end of 2013.
