CAUAYAN CITY, Isabela—The Human Settlements Adjudication Commission-Regional Adjudication Branch II conducted a one-day seminar titled “Exploring the Legal Dimensions of Human Settlements” at Maximillian Hotel in this city on Nov. 26, 2024. It was attended by lawyers, law students, real estate developers, government social housing agencies, and media practitioners.
