DA-PhilMech distributes P41.5 M worth of Agri machinery units to Bukidnon Farmers

Posted on by cmn

DALWANGAN, Malaybalay City (Aug. 25, 2020) — Ten farmer-cooperative associations (FCAs) in Bukidnon have received P41.5 million worth of agri-machinery units from the Department of Agriculture – Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (DA-PhilMech) on August 18, 2020.

The activity was held at Northern Mindanao Agricultural Crops and Livestock Research Complex (NMACLRC), Dalwangan, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon.

DA-RFO 10 Regional Executive Director Carlene C. Collado and Regional Technical Director for Operations Carlota S. Madriaga with DA-PhilMech Head Facility Management and Field Operations Division Joel V. Dator led the turnover and awarding of certificates to FCAs.

Said FCAs coming from the cities of Malaybalay and Valencia and the municipalities of Impasugong, San Fernando, Cabanglasan, Quezon, Pangantucan and Kalilangan availed the machinery units, which include four-wheel drive tractor, float-assist tiller, rice precision seeder, walk-behind transplanter, four-wheel riding-type rice transplanter, rice reaper, rice combine harvester and mobile rice mill.

The Public Affairs, Information and Assistance (PAIA) Division of the office of the Provincial Governor in a statement identified the FCA beneficiaries as San Martin North Main Canal Irrigators Association, Inc., Capuna Irrigator’s Association, San Juan – Impasugong La Fortuna Irrigators Association Inc., Nala Irrigators Association, Inc., Cabanglasan Net Working Community Association Inc., Veterans’ Plan Irrigators Association Inc., Araneta Farmers Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries Association. Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Combenio Saranay Muti-Purpose Cooperative, Pangantucan Rice Producers Association (PRPA), Incorporated, and Bagong Buhay Riceland Farmer Irrigators’ Association Inc.

RED Collado emphasized that the first batch of distribution of PhilMech mechanization program is 40 percent of the 2019 budget, while the 60 percent amounting to P152.8 million is under procurement phase and may be distributed within the year which will benefit around 38 FCAs.

The first batch of mechanization program in Region 10 has a budget of P103.7 million.

Rice mechanization is one of the components of Republic Act No. 11203 or the Rice Tariffication Law, which stipulates the creation of the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) that would be funded from rice tariffs collections, with P10 billion allocation annually from 2019 to 2024 or a period of six years.

DA-PhilMech Director Baldwin G. Jallorina, in his written message, said ‘Farming and fishing are the main economic activities of the region. Kaya nararapat lamang na bigyan natin ng priority ang rehiyon na ito na may malaking kontribusyon sa food security ng bansa.”

Mechanization component of the RCEF aims to improve rice production in the country thru mechanization that would reduce production and postharvest losses up to 20 percent and eventually increase production.

Based on PhilMech study, postharvest losses for rice is at 16.47 percent from harvesting, piling, threshing, drying, milling, and storage.

Of the total amount, P5 billion was allocated for mechanization of rice farms, P3 billion for provision of high-yielding inbred rice seeds, P1 billion for credit support, and P1 billion for extension support and education of rice farmers.

The province of Bukidnon contributes around 50-60 percent of rice sufficiency in the region with 98,000 hectares of the rice harvest area.

“With these new machineries, we can prepare our lands faster and reduce costs in land preparation,” said Eriberto Bangis, President of San Juan Impasugong La Fortuna Irrigators Association, Inc. in Impasugong, Bukidnon.

He added that the most important help the program will provide to the group is ultimately an increased income for the association and its members.

Bukidnon 4th District Representative Rogelio Neil P. Roque appealed to the FCAs to take care of the agri-machinery units and to graduate from government’s dependence so that other farmers can avail of the programs and projects.

The schedule of turnover of machinery to FCAs in the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental and Lanao del Norte in the region is set for completion this month. (Angelilah T. Cabig/DA 10/PIA Bukidnon/Mel B. Madera)

403rd Peacemaker Brigade welcomes new commander

Posted on by cmn

MALAYBALAY CITY (Feb. 10) – Col. Ferdinand Barandon was officially installed as the new commander of the Philippine Army’s 403rd Infantry Peacemaker Brigade in a change of command held on Feb. 10 at the Headquarters of 403rd Brigade, here.

Col. Barandon replaced Brigadier General Edgardo de Leon, who was assigned at the General Headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) as deputy chief-of-staff for civil-military operations.

In his acceptance message, Col. Barandon urged members of the Peacemaker team to continue to press on with the fight to end the local communist armed conflict while leaving the door for reconciliation open for more rebels to rejoin the mainstream society.

“We shall continue the momentum of our campaign and bring the fight in the guerilla bases,… we shall also protect our gains by continuously and steadfastly shielding the people and their communities who were previously radicalized by CTG (communist terrorist group),” he said.

Admitting that the army cannot do the fight against insurgency alone, Col. Barandon implored all 403rd Brigade stakeholders and partners to collaborate and continuously fuel their enthusiasm and trailblazing efforts on ending local communist armed conflict through the regional and local task forces.

Meanwhile, BGen. De Leon expressed gratitude to all the partners of the Brigade for making the convergence efforts against the CTG in his area of operations a success. “Your trust and confidence have driven me to persevere against the many challenges of a brigade commander,” he said.

He also reminded them to always make convergence efforts on the delivery of services a reality, to prevent the CTG from getting back the people’s sympathy.

The turnover ceremony was presided by Major General Franco Nemesio Gacal, commander of the 4th Infantry Division, Philippine Army, based in Cagayan de Oro.

In his message, Gacal instructed Col. Barandon to sustain the gains, especially in the whole-of-nation campaign.

“Continue to be responsive on the peace and security needs of our constituents, I want you to lead all efforts to ensure physically and psychologically safe and secure environment conducive to economic development,” he said.

He also directed Col. Barandon to maximize utilizing all the ground units under the 403rd Brigade to pursue peace and development initiatives and address the root causes of conflict in their area of operations.

Moreover, he told him to support the implementation of the Enhanced Comprehensive Integration Program (E-CLIP) and other integration mechanisms available so that those who wish to surrender will be given a chance. However, he reminded him to be relentless in dislocating, isolating, disintegrating and destroying those who continue to challenge the government. (Apipa P. Bagumbaran/PIA-10)
