𝗗𝗔𝗥 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲| DAR Sarangani Turns Over Farm Machinery to KRISMUBIL MPC

GENERAL SANTOS CITY | August 27, 2026 — The Department of Agrarian Reform Sarangani Provincial Office turned over a package of farm machinery and equipment to Krismubil Multi-Purpose Cooperative (KRISMUBIL MPC) in Batomelong, Tinagacan Agrarian Reform Community, General Santos City, boosting the cooperative’s capacity to serve Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries, farmers, and the surrounding community.

The assistance was provided under DAR’s Climate Resilient Farm Productivity Support Program–Sustainable Livelihood Support (CRFPSP-SLS) for Disaster and Calamity-Affected Areas. The package includes a mobile corn sheller with hand tractor, combined milling machine, and forage shredder.

The intervention aims to address production and processing constraints, improve farm productivity, expand the cooperative’s farm services and business operations, and create sustainable income opportunities for its members and ARBs.

In her message, MARPO Eleanor E. Serra of DARMO General Santos City challenged the cooperative to take full responsibility for the proper operation, maintenance, recordkeeping, and sustainable utilization of the machinery, ensuring that the government’s investment translates into lasting benefits for farmers and the community.

Accepting the challenge on behalf of the cooperative, KRISMUBIL MPC Chairperson Montasser T. Dambong expressed the organization’s gratitude to DAR and committed to putting the machinery to productive and responsible use.

Also present was Dave Ariel B. Ayop of the City Agriculturist’s Office, representing the LGU of General Santos City. He affirmed the LGU’s continued support and partnership with DAR in advancing agricultural and ARC development.

The turnover is a testament to DAR’s continuing commitment to go beyond land distribution—helping ARBs become more productive, strengthening their organizations, and developing sustainable agribusiness enterprises.

From land to livelihood, DAR continues to bring meaningful support closer to agrarian reform communities.
