Department of Agriculture eyes Php213-B budget for 2018

MANILA, April 7 (PNA) -- The Department of Agriculture (DA) is proposing a Php213-billion budget for 2018 to finance programs to boost farm production.

This is 370 percent higher than the Php45.29 billion approved for the DA this year.

DA Secretary Emmanuel Piñol told reporters Friday that President Rodrigo Duterte, during his speech in Talavera, Nueva Ecija, said he would give his department a similar budget to that of the Department of Education, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Department of Health.

“It’s huge. In fact, the DepEd is Php600 billion, we are not asking for that. What we are asking is Php213 billion for 2018,” he said.

Piñol said the President also personally told him to continue his department’s farm mechanization program.

Apart from farm mechanization, the agriculture chief earlier said other priorities of the DA were rice and corn program and easy credit lending. (PNA)

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.
