No more validation period for 211 titles – Magalong AGUIO CITY – Mayor-elect Benjamin B. Magalong Bunderscored it is improper for the government to grant an extension of the validation period of un-vali- dated 211 titles in the city considering the lapse of the prescribed validation period over three decades ago. The incoming local chief executive claimed the holders of 211 titles in the city were given sufficient time by the government to have their titles validated prior to the lapse of the prescribed validation period thus it is no longer the fault of government if there are still un-validated titles in the possession of certain individuals. Magalong emphasized he will not support the proposed grant of 2-year extension for holders of un-validated 211 titles to have the same validated because it could complicate the situation in some prop- erties covered by the un-validated 211 titles located in the different parts of the city. Earlier, outgoing Mayor Mauricio G. Domogan pointed out the proposal in Congress to grant a 2-year extension of the validation period for un-validated 211 titles will create more problems than solutions because it will result to the massive displacement of Baguio City Mayor-elect Benjamin Magalong leads the victory tree planting with more than actual occupants of the said lands 400 supporters and volunteers in four sites in the city.
