CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY (MindaNews/23 June 2026)— The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Northern Mindanao (DENR-10) has ruled that Xavier University holds the legal right to develop its 64-hectare Manresa property in Upper Carmen into a multi-billion-peso campus and commercial district. The ruling, signed by DENR-10 Regional Executive Director Ronald Gadot on 23 June, effectively resolves ownership disputes and clears the way for site development by Cebu Landmasters Inc. (CLI). The Cebu-based property developer, in partnership with Xavier University, is investing ₱20 billion to transform the property into a “campus of the future” complete with residential and commercial spaces.
