In long living and social process and sometimes in 1935 – 1944, under the National Land Settlement Administration (NLSA) of the Commonwealth Government, there was a Philippine House of Representatives proposal to utilize the Island of Mindanao and use some land to help the Philippine Government, and one of the opposition that time is Congressman Datu Salipada Khalid Pendatun.
