Earlier today, we came together to celebrate the Farmers’ Field Day on Hybrid Rice Technology Demonstration and the Culmination of Farmers and Fisherfolk Month here in San Agustin, Surigao del Sur.
These two occasions reflect our continued commitment to introduce practical and sustainable agricultural technologies that can help improve productivity and strengthen our farmers’ resilience here in San Agustin. At the same time, they give us the opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to our farmers and fisherfolk, whose dedication and hard work continue to secure our food and sustain our communities, even in the face of challenges and crises.
This meaningful activity was graced by the presence of our Municipal Officials, headed by our Local Chief Executive, Hon. Mayor Nicolas Alameda, CE, MPA, our Sangguniang Bayan Members, our partners from the Davao Oriental Seed Producers Cooperative (DOSEPCO) — Sir Aldelo and Sir Jerwin, our Regional Executive Director of the Department of Agriculture Caraga, Engr. Ricardo Oñate Jr., our Provincial Agriculturist Esmeraldo Raymundo, RAgr., the Division Manager of National Irrigation Administration Surigao del Sur, Engr. Paul Urbiztondo, Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC), duly represented by Ma’am Quennie Decipolo, our farmer-cooperator Sir Edwin Banog, our Punong Barangays, Barangay Officials, our Barangay Paratechnicians, and most especially, our hardworking farmers.
We would also like to sincerely acknowledge our financial sponsors, the Alameda Family, for their generous support, which helped make this activity possible.
Guided by the theme “Pagbibigay-pugay para sa Magsasaka’t Mangingisda sa Gitna ng Hamon at Krisis,” we honor the invaluable contributions of those who continue to feed and sustain our communities.
Daghang salamat ug mabuhay ang atong mga magsasaka ug mangingisda! 🌱
