Leyte villagers' dream comes true

MERIDA, LEYTE (25 June 2005) -- Many areas in the country still has no existing potable water supply. But to residents of the Puertobello Agrarian Reform Community (ARC), it was a realization of a dream when officials from the Department of Land Reform (DLR) turned over here on Tuesday a Level-2 Rural Water System Project.
Water is essential to life and to rural development, said DLR Assistant Secretary Edgar Igano as he explained the significance of it during Tuesday's turn over rites.

Although implemented by the local government unit said project was funded by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) through the second phase of Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project (ARISP II) with a total cost of P1,026,573.

Some 491 residents in 271 households are expected to benefit from this project wherein 131 of them are agrarian reform beneficiaries.

Regional Director Tiburcio Morales, Jr. disclosed that ARISP II will have three components for implementation in Puertobello ARC.

After this first component, a farm-to-market road and post harvest facilities will soon follow, Morales added.
Aside from these projects, Mayor Marcos Antonio Solaña hopes that an irrigation project would also be implemented here to make their rain-fed ricelands productive whole year round.

On the same occasion, Igano who represented Land Reform Secretary Rene Villa distributed 97 individual and collective certificates of land ownership awards (CLOAs) covering more than 185 hectares of agricultural lands here and in Merida and Albuera towns to 231 recipients. (PIA-8)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
