According to Provincial Agriculturist Engr. Domingo Bakilan, this shall be another help to the barangays, but he is hoping that the impact will be increased through additional aid of other agencies.

“Nu agited met ti dadduma pay nga agencies… ta adda met projects and programs under them, if they include these barangays as beneficiaries, the impact on development is going to be more,” said Bakilan.

In an interview, he said the success of the programs apart from the push of the government and the positive response of the recipients is the concerted efforts of more agencies working together to develop or contribute to the progress of a certain barangay.

Bakilan said he is going to meet and talk with line agencies in the province soon to see possibilities to request for working together in aiding barangays which need more assistance to ensure change in the area.
