The Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Norte, through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, successfully conducted the Turn-Over of Agricultural and Fishery Inputs last May 20, 2026 in the Municipality of Siayan for the ten (10) implementing associations of the RRP-CCAM Project LAWA at BINHI and Enhanced Gasang Bahandianon sa Umahan (EGBU) Scale-Up.

OFFICIAL UPDATE:

The Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAG) - Zamboanga del Norte, represented by PAFC Chairperson Ranulfo L. Arcos and PAFC Coordinator Ed Neilson G. Gallemit, actively participated in the Regional Agricultural and Fishery Council (RAFC) IX Summit held on May 20-21, 2026, at Jackie's Hotel in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.

The two-day event focused on the harmonization of local agricultural governance, featuring critical orientations from the DILG and PCAF regarding the implementation of DA-DILG Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) No. 01, Series of 2025, which mandates the integration and full support of local AFCs within Local Development Councils (LDCs).

The second day culminated in an intensive action-planning workshop where our provincial delegation formulated strategic roadmaps to ensure that Zamboanga del Norte’s private-sector agricultural stakeholders are heavily involved and well-funded in upcoming local development and investment plans.

GIPAHIBALO sa Provincial Agriculture Office ang pagpatigayon sa “KADIWA ng Pangulo” karong Mayo 26, 2026 didto sa Eco Park, Upper Turno, Dipolog City, sugod alas 8:00 sa buntag hangtod alas 3:00 sa hapon.

Ang maong kalihukan nagtumong sa pagpasundayag ug pagbaligya sa presko, barato, ug dekalidad nga mga produktong agri-fishery gikan sa mga lokal nga mag-uuma, mangingisda, ug mga agri-entrepreneurs sa probinsiya.

Pinaagi sa pagsuporta sa lokal nga mga produkto, mapalig-on ang komunidad, matabangan ang panginabuhian sa katawhan, ug mapalambo ang malungtarong agrikultura ug pangisda.

Gilauman usab nga daghang mga katawhan ang motambong sa maong kalihukan aron makapalit sa nagkadaiyang presko nga prutas, utanon, humay, ug uban pang lokal nga produkto sa mas mubu nga presyo.

Ang “KADIWA ng Pangulo” kabahin sa padayon nga programa sa gobyerno nga nagtutok sa pagtabang sa mga mag-uuma ug mangingisda pinaagi sa paghatag kanila ug diretsong merkado alang sa ilang mga produkto.

Giawhag ang publiko sa pagbisita ug pagsuporta sa maong kalihukan isip pagpakita sa pagpalambo sa lokal nga ekonomiya ug pagdasig sa paggamit sa kaugalingong produkto sa komunidad. -30-
