MALUNGON, Sarangani – The Department of Agriculture have released some P2M-worth of farm inputs and equipments in Sarangani and the nearby city of General Santos in a bid to spur up farming and promote Pres. Aquino’s Agri-Pinoy Program in Central Mindanao Region.

DA-12 officials Dir. Amalia Datukan said the “Ulat sa Bayan (second round)” or 2nd Agri-Pinoy Information Caravan in Malungon town was conducted in correlation with Pres. Nonoy Aquino’s Agri-Pinoy Program (APP), aimed at pursuing a sustainable agriculture development agenda along the countryside through the active participation of all local government units, farmers, students, non-government organizations and the private sector  as well.

Over a hundred local government, barangay and non-government organization officials led by Sarangani Gov. Miguel Dominguez, Malungon town Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino and DARFO-12 dir. Bai Dido Samama have graced the said occasion that was held at the municipal gymnasium, the report said.
 
Nelson Sadang, Constantino’s Agri-Flagship director said DA-12 have bestowed Malungon town with some P.8M-worth agro-forestry and development projects during the event. He said among those given to Malungon were two mini-corn mills and a variety of vegetable seeds and garden tools intended to 26 elementary and secondary schools in the municipality.  

Constantino, in a brief huddle with newsmen, said the current campaign of the Aquino administration lucidly shows a well-regimented kind of leadership, “strengthened by its noble task to perk up the living condition of the underprivileged people.”

“Amo gani nga gin tagaan ko gid sang prioridad nga himoon flagship program ang agrikultura kay tungod nakita ko kung ano ini ka importante, kag kung ano ang mahimo sini nga tabang hilabi na didto sa mga naga-puluyo sa kabukiran (I preferred agriculture to be my flagship program because I understand its significance specifically to those who are living the far flung villages of town),” said Constantino in a vernacular. 

Gov. Dominguez also assured Malungonians of ample support from the provincial government. 

“As you have seen, most of our heavy equipments in the province are now here to augment the LGU-heavy fleet in the opening of new farm-to-market roads. What I am only asking is for farmers to concentrate more in developing our idle lands. Somehow, this could shield us against the unreasonable increase in the prices of farm produce being sold at the local market. Eventually, sustainable farming would also help control exorbitant price hike due to the irrepressible increases in population in the upcoming years.” Dominguez said. (Isagani Palma/MIO-Malungon).
