MAHAYAG, ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR โ Under the guidance of Regional Manager Engr. June Nathaniel S. Plaza and the leadership of IMO Manager Engr. Girlie M. Detalla, the National Irrigation AdministrationโZamboanga del Sur Irrigation Management Office (NIA ZDS IMO) conducted a Cluster Turn-Out Service Area Group (TSAG) Meeting on July 29, 2026, in Barangay Lourmah, Mahayag. The meeting was led by IMO Manager Engr. Girlie M. Detalla together with Communal Irrigation System Head Doroteo J. Tres Reyes, Jr., and was attended by the Barangay Captain, officers and members of participating Irrigators' Associations, NIA Institutional Development Officers (IDOs), technical personnel, and a representative from the NIA Regional Office IX.
The activity provided a venue to assess current irrigation conditions within the participating associations' service areas, identify priority concerns, and discuss appropriate technical measures to address their needs. Among the primary concerns raised were irrigation canals requiring desilting, requests for equipment assistance, the widening of a section of the irrigation canal to address overflow during periods of heavy rainfall, and a request for a solar-powered irrigation pump to augment the irrigation water supply for approximately 20 hectares of farmland. In response, Engr. Detalla directed the concerned technical personnel to conduct the necessary site validation and engineering assessment of the reported canal condition to determine the appropriate intervention. She likewise instructed the concerned Irrigators' Association to prepare an IA Resolution to facilitate the technical evaluation of the request for the widening of the irrigation canal and the appropriate succeeding actions. For the request for a solar-powered irrigation pump, she instructed the association to complete the necessary documentary requirements and directed the technical team, together with the IDOs, to coordinate with the farmers and schedule the required georesistivity survey.
In her message, Engr. Detalla underscored the importance of maintaining close communication with Irrigators' Associations and local farmers to better understand the challenges affecting their respective service areas. She noted that the TSAG initiative has strengthened NIA's engagement with Irrigators' Associations by fostering regular dialogue, timely technical guidance, and closer coordination in addressing irrigation concerns. Through the Cluster TSAG Meeting, NIA ZDS IMO reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining close coordination with Irrigators' Associations through regular dialogue, technical assessment, and collaborative planning in support of responsive irrigation management and improved irrigation service delivery.
