SIFARMA SLP Ginawaran ng ₱600,000 Seed Capital Fund para sa HVC, Mushroom Production

Tumanggap ng ₱600,000 Seed Capital Fund sa ilalim ng Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) ang SIFARMA SLP Association sa isinagawang opisyal na Awarding Ceremony noong Agosto 25, 2026. Ang ipinagkaloob na pondo ay nakalaan para sa pagpapatayo at pagpapalago ng kanilang livelihood project na nakatuon sa high-value crop at mushroom production, na inaasahang makikinabang ang 30 kasapi ng asosasyon.

Ang inisyatibong ito ay bunga ng pinag-isang layunin at pagtutulungan ng National Irrigation Administration (NIA), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Agriculture (DA), at Lokal na Pamahalaan ng Silang (Silang LGU) upang mapalakas ang kabuhayan ng mga farmer groups at community organizations.

Ayon kay Ms. Wilma V. Granados, Senior Irrigators Development Officer ng NIA-Cavite-Batangas Irrigation Management Office (CBIMO), ang programa ay sumasalamin sa pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan ng mga ahensya ng pamahalaan upang higit na mapalakas ang mga farmer groups at organizations at matulungan silang makapagtatag at mapalago ng sariling negosyo.

Samantala, binigyang-diin ni Mr. Freddie Rick O. Calos, MSWDO Head ng Silang, Cavite, na ang sukatan ng isang payapa at maunlad na komunidad ay hindi lamang nakabatay sa yaman. Higit sa lahat, mahalaga aniya ang pagkakaisa ng bawat isa tungo sa iisang layunin—ang sama-samang pagtugon sa kagutuman at kahirapan.

Emosyonal namang tinanggap ni G. Ruben Quebral, Pangulo ng SIFARMA SLP Association, ang tseke bilang tulong-kapital. Ipinahayag niya ang kanyang lubos na pasasalamat at nangakong pagyayabungin ng buong asosasyon ang ipinagkaloob na pondo upang makapag-ambag sa food sustainability ng bayan at magsilbing magandang halimbawa sa mga susunod na henerasyon.

Bilang bahagi ng aktibidad, nagsagawa rin si Ms. Dessa Dianne Ortañez, PDO II ng DSWD Region IV-A, ng oryentasyon hinggil sa wastong paggamit ng pondo, tamang procurement ng mga kinakailangang kagamitan at supplies, at mga paunang hakbang sa pagsisimula ng kanilang livelihood project.

Inaasahan ng DSWD na ang ipinagkaloob na tulong ay hindi lamang magsisilbing panimulang kapital, kundi magiging daan upang patuloy na lumago ang livelihood project ng SIFARMA SLP Association, na magbibigay ng pangmatagalang pakinabang at dagdag na oportunidad sa kabuhayan para sa mga kasapi nito.
