curcas, tuba-tuba or kasla in the native tongue, found its
rightful place in the denuded and cogonal Ancestral Domain Lands
of the indigenous
peoples under the Confederacy of the Supreme Council
of Datus Alimaong (SCODA). The initial six (6) plantation modules of
10,000 hectares each or total of 60,000 hectares have already been
identified in the provinces of Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental, notably in
Cagayan de Oro City. The project is dubbed “Tahas Kasla” (“Project
Jatropha”).
Thus, kasla
plantations are being established in the Municipality
of Medina and the City of Gingoog. One module is in Cagayan de Oro City
while another is in the towns of Opol, Alubijid, Laguindingan and Matincao,
still in the province of Misamis Oriental. In Bukidnon Province, the
modules stride the Sitios of Tagmaray, Sabanan, San Luis in Malitbog with
possible expansion into Claveria, Misamis Oriental. As of this month,
kasla nurseries are already in place in a total of more than 7
hectares. Seed procurement for the increase in plantation of nurseries
continues.
