The president reiterated that the delivery of the certificates is the best birthday celebration he could have, "solving problems and delivering titles," he said regarding the celebration of his birthday.
He emphasized the satisfaction he feels in being able to grant the titles to the lands that for years have been the foundation of the homes that shelter their dreams and the space to earn a living for their families.
He reiterated that, by owning the land, the properties acquire greater value and become formal subjects of bank credit and an asset to leave to their descendants.
He said that work is underway to provide the remaining families with property titles, so that no resident of Quisqueya is left without the documents that prove they own the lands where they have lived for years.
“So that here in Quisqueya, everyone has their property titles,” the head of state emphasized.
