Mautes’ land buying alarms Iligan residents

ILIGAN CITY: The recent spate of land buying by wealthy members of the Maute clan here has alarmed the city government and residents who are also saying that internally displaced persons (IDPs) may be occupying public lands.

Iligan city mayor Celso Regencia said he has received intelligence reports that Maranaos with family names of Maute were confirmed to have purchased properties in at least four villages, particularly in Tomas Cabili, Tubod, Tambacan and San Miguel.
