Published by the Bohol ChronicleBayan Muna Rep. Teodoro Casiño is calling for a congressional inquiry into complaints lodged by farmers affected by three irrigation projects here.
Casiño, who attended a Conference of Bohol Dams initiated by the Hugpong sa mga Mag-uumang Bol-anon (Humabol) recently, said in a press statement that he will meet with Representatives Edgar Chatto, Roberto Cajes and Adam Relson Jala to resolve the issues presented by farmers.
A House inquiry will facilitate resolving the concerns of supposed farmer-beneficiaries, according to Casiño. This, even as several senators have signified their intent to look into the controversial irrigation projects here.
Farmers affected by the Bohol Irrigation Project Stages 1 and 2 (Malinao Dam and Bayongan Dam) and the still unfinished Talibon Small Reservoir Impounding Project presented their problems to Casiño during the conference.
