After a long social process, sometime in 1935 – 1944, under the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) of the Commonwealth Government, there was a Philippine House of Representative proposal to invade the Island of Mindanao so that some parts of Mindanao can be used to help the Philippine Government. Not everyone was agreeable to this proposal and one of the oppositions during that time was Congressman Datu Salipada Khalid Pendatun. However, said proposal was approved and signed by then President Manuel L. Quezon who was the president of that time. The settlers were composed of people who have knowledge about skilled jobs, Agri Technology, Engineering, and Farming. The settlers came from the islands of Luzon and Visayas and they brought with them skills and expertise.
