"Another building that will be built here is a bahay pag-asa (house of hope) for out-of-school youth to learn how to breed and take care of animals as a means of livelihood. There will also be a rest area here," Dela Cruz said.
Meanwhile, Cagayan Gov. Manuel Mamba noted that all the projects and changes made at the Cagayan Breeding Center are focused on "helping and improving the livelihood of the Cagayano people and the next generation."

Let's reach the pinnacle of success for Cagayan. Let's join the development of Cagayan for Cagayanos," Mamba said.
