BATANGAS CITY - The Department of Agriculture (DA) has provided livestock interventions for farmers affected by the Taal Volcano eruption on July 3, 2020.
The distribution is from the DA Region IV CALABARZON Taal Recovery and Rehabilitation Program which includes the Balete, Bauan, High Wood, and Agoncillo local governments.
The beneficiary farmers in Balete city were given a total of 60 native goats (12 modules) and 50 buffalos (10 modules).
Meanwhile, 50 broiler chicken modules with 2,500 white, 1,700 pieces (34 modules), and 2,050 pieces (41 modules) were distributed to the beneficiaries of Bauan, Mataas na Kahoy, and Agoncillo.
The distribution of cattle intervention to local government people was led by Mrs. Vilma Dimaculangan, Assistant Regional Director for Research and Regulation at the Livestock Program Coordinator.
“Patuloy pong magkakaloob ang DA Calabarzon ng suportang agrikultural para sa ating mga magsasaka hindi lamang po sa mga naapektuhan ng pagsabog ng bulkan kundi maging sa lahat ng magsasaka sa buong rehiyon. Hangad po ng ahensya na matulungan ang ating mga magsasaka sa pagkakaroon o pagpapalago ng kanilang hanapbuhay. Marami po kaming programa na nakahanay upang mas matulungan pa sila,” Dimaculangan said.
Farmers who have been helped have expressed gratitude.
Ayon kay Balete Mayor Wilson Maralit, isang napakalaking tulong ito sa kanyang mga kababayan sapagkat ang mga ito ay naghahangad na muling buhayin ang kanilang mga naiwang pinagkikitaan na lubhang naapektuhan ng pagsabog ng bulkang Taal. (BHABY P. DE CASTRO-PIA Batangas with reports from DA-RAFIS)
According to Balete Mayor Wilson Maralit, this is a great help to his people, as they are waiting for their own consequences to be revived in connection with the eruption of the the Taal volcano.
