1977. The life of the delegation crawled forward for progress. Every month a meeting was conducted in sitio Talisay because majority of the officials lived there. The women's league had a local visitation attended by the officials from San Jose headed by Sis. Dorotea Imperial. Reception was made at the house of Segundina Salizon.

Felixberto Villamel and Mr. Bernardino F. Alcaria, Jr. the desire and plan was consulted to the Divine Master. Negotiations were settled to buy the said lot for the purpose of establishing a subdivision for the PBMA members in this place. The lot was bought at the amount of three thousand and five hundred pesos (Php. 3,500.00) and this was subdivided into residential lots measuring eight by ten (8 x 10) meters amounting to twenty-five pesos (Php. 25.00). Divine Master instructed the officials, giving a sketch plan of the subdivision, to be a model of block-type picop system from Bislig or Mangagoy, Surigao del Sur and the form of the house was like Jose Rizal's home, the roof of which was a bit extended on top.

Maintained cooperation of the members continued and the realization of the dream of Divine Master to have a place for the PBMA members was born. A feeding center utilized as a meeting place for the delegation was constructed. Through pahina, roads were formed. Plans to have projects in this place  were moulded as guidelined by the Divine Master as the great architect. Through the desire of the members of the delegation, a line-up was unanimously nominated to act as interim officials of the barangay to handle the mission for application. The officials given the seats were: Acting barangay captain,  Inosencio Asarez, Secretary Alfredo Abayon, Treasurer Calixto Saldua, Councilors - Solomon Ponce, Fortunato Polinar, Sr., Feliciano Manliguez, Rogelio Tito, Jose Asarez, and Juanito Dandoy.

Majority of the members voted to name the barangay as "Ecleo" because the owner of the land was the Divine Master. Resolutions and other requirements were then forwarded to the municipality of Cagdianao. Frequent touches of the officials to the municipal government were made. One time

during the followed-up made by the officials, Divine Master also happened to be in Cagdianao and He saw the application papers, He emphasized that a letter "R" should be added to the name of the barangay which was "Ecleo". He said that there are many Ecleos and many would then claim. Thus, the barangay was then named "R. Ecleo".
