The majority of the population are of Ilonggo origin.
It was in a part of Malungon, bordering Kiblawan town in Davao del Sur, where the bulk of the marijuana plants were uprooted and seized in a raid last Tuesday.
The people of Malungon, officials said, expect the President to extol the significance of the uprooting and seizure of the illegal plants in the government's no-nonsense campaign to rid the country of the social menace brought about by drug abuse and addiction.
Malungon Mayor Teody Padernilla cited the people's cooperation in dealing with the marijuana plantation owner and his cohorts, who have been identified by the National Bureau of Investigation raiding team.
