The awarding of certificates was led by OIC Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer II Josephine K. Aguinaldo, who commended the graduates for their perseverance and commitment. She emphasized that the initiative aims to โmatulungan maiangat ang inyong pamumuhay, maisulong natin ang mga proyekto at programa ng ating mga organizations and cooperatives at kayo ay maging parte ng inyong pamayanan, hindi lamang sa Brgy. Nonong kundi sa buong bayan ng San Luisโ.
The activity was attended by personnel from DAR Auroraโs Program Beneficiaries Development Division (PBDD) led by CARPO Ma. Dina R. Daguman, together with representatives from the Local Government Unit (LGU) of San Luis and the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), among other partner stakeholders.
Meanwhile, G. Enrique Sarmiento Jr., an ARB from Sitio Camalatan, Brgy. Nonong, San Luis, Aurora, expressed his gratitude to DAR and all the FBS facilitators. He also said, "Ngayon, masasabi ko na may alam na ako, mas may kumpiyansa na akong pamahalaan, ang aking sakahan bilang isang farm entrepreneur, at iyan ay sa tulong ng Farm Business School.โ
The FBS is a DAR capacity-building program that equips farmers with entrepreneurial and management skills to help transform them into competitive agripreneurs. The activity reflects DAR Auroraโs continued commitment to strengthening agrarian reform beneficiaries and promoting sustainable rural livelihoods.
