P134.5 M irrigation project to boost Mindanao farm productivity

Quezon City (2 July 2005) -- The Department of Land Reform recently launched an irrigation project in Mawab, Compostela Valley to make farmlands more productive. The P134.5-million project will water more than a thousand hectares of land and benefit more than eight hundred farmer-beneficiaries from Agrarian Reform Communities or ARCs in the area.

DLR Secretary Rene C. Villa said that the expected improvement of produce and income of the farmers will consequently help in the overall growth of the country's economy.

The irrigation project is a tie-up undertaking between the DLR and the National Irrigation Administration in support of the 10-point priority agenda of the Arroyo administration.

The project is funded by an official development assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation. The local government of Compostela Valley likewise has a ten percent counterpart of the project cost, equivalent to thirteen point 3 million pesos.

Mawab Mayor Samuel Ampayas said that the irrigation project is so far the biggest support extended to his constituents by the national government.

Compostela Valley Governor Jose Caballero further added that the project assistance is a fruit of the farmers' unity and desire to improve their farm productivity and income. (Beat the Odds Infobits)

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.
