Agriculture secretary Manny Piñol talks to farmers of Purok 3 Sitio Mandagao, Barangay Poblacion, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur affected by the flashflood brought by Tropical Depression Auring in some parts of Mindanao. Piñol, who immediately adhered to the President’s order to go to affected areas promised the farmers that he will come back after his consultation with the other DA officials and bring assistance including emergency loans to assist farmers whose crops were destroyed by the floods.
