Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol delivers to Ilonggo farmers farm machineries and equipment to enhance local production and increase yield and income. During the recent visit of the agri chief in Iloilo, farmers received floating tillers, cultivators, transplanters, and four-wheel drive tractors under the DA’s mechanization program. Another set of farm equipment were distributed under the Yolanda Rehabilitation and Recovery Program (YRRP) amounting to P43,196,550. “These machineries are long overdue, and I’m sorry for that,” Piñol said. During the trip, Piñol assured farmers and fishers of the government’s continuous support to the agriculture sector. He also confirmed that the President has instructed members of his administration to act fast and deliver services to the farthest communities of the country. (Photo by Alarico Nuestro/DA-AFID)
