The Department of Agriculture (DA) brought various agricultural assistance to farmers and agri-fishery stakeholders in La Union on September 14 through Handog ng Pangulo: Serbisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat.

Held at the Speaker Pro Tempore Francisco I. Ortega Convention Center, a total of P71,123, 668.23 worth of interventions were awarded to project beneficiaries from La Union.

Representing President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was DA Undersecretary for Policy, Planning and Regulations Atty. Asis G. Perez, who delivered the President’s message during the activity led by La Union Governor Mario Eduardo C. Ortega.

Speaking on the challenges faced by communities, including rising fuel prices, drought, heavy rains, and flooding, Perez said:

“Mahirap man ang mga hamon na ating kinakaharap, tayo pong mga Pilipino ay laging handang magsama-sama at umahon. Kapag may pagsubok, bumabangon. Kapag may problema, nagtutulungan.”

For La Union, the DA awarded Certificates of Award to beneficiaries for various agricultural projects, including 6,583 bags of hybrid palay seeds and assistance to 500 beneficiaries under the P20 Rice Project.

The Department also awarded certificates to 15 farmer groups under Kadiwa ng Pangulo for onion and mungbean seeds, solar-powered irrigation systems, net mesh, and other production inputs. Other projects covered 1,000 calamansi seedlings, fruit tree seedlings for 75 beneficiaries, and enterprise assistance worth P5M under the Kadiwa Financial Grant Assistance Program and P1 million for Agri-Entrepreneurship Enhancement Assistance.

Meanwhile, 566 farmers received recognition for indemnity and insurance-related assistance through the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC). Livestock and animal health interventions were also included, covering 250 animals for vaccination, deworming, and spaying/neutering, as well as cattle and goat multiplier farm modules under the Livestock Economic Enterprise Development (LEED) Program.

The La Union assistance forms part of the DA’s wider delivery of interventions across the Ilocos Region amounting to P928,339,267.15 which includes 4,500 beneficiaries under the P20 Rice Project, 68 Kadiwa group beneficiaries, 83,841 bags of hybrid palay seed, 995 farmer-beneficiaries for PCIC assistance, and 55 livestock multiplier farm modules for cattle, goat and sheep production .

Usec. Perez urged beneficiaries to make use of the services and assistance available to them.

“Hinihikayat ko po ang ating mga kababayan na samantalahin ang mga serbisyong naririto ngayon. Alamin ang mga tulong na maaaring mapakinabangan at gamitin ang oportunidad na ito upang makatulong sa inyong pamilya, hanapbuhay, at kinabukasan.”

He also emphasized the meaning behind the President’s birthday celebration:

“Sapagkat para sa Pangulo, ang pinakamahalagang handog sa araw na ito ay ang pagkakataong makapaglingkod sa sambayanang Pilipino.”

Also representing the DA were Regional Executive Director Fidel L. Libao, along with DA-RFO I officials and representatives of participating government agencies and local government units.

For La Union, the activity was another expression of “La Union Agkaysa”: working together to bring government assistance where it is needed.

Para sa Bioagricola Agriculture Cooperative, ang Handog ng Pangulo ay hindi lamang pagkilala sa kanilang mga nagawa. Ito ay isang malaking oportunidad para mapalawak ang produksyon, mapalago ang kanilang kooperatiba, at makalikha ng mas magandang kinabukasan.

Kapag may sipag, tiyaga, at may kasamang suporta mula sa gobyerno, mas malayo ang kayang marating ng ating mga magsasaka at kooperatiba.

Hindi kailangang mahal ang puhunan para makapagsimula. Sa tamang kaalaman, tiyaga, at paggamit ng organic inputs, natututo ang ating mga magsasaka na gumawa ng sariling vermicompost at iba pang likas na pataba—para sa mas sustansiyadong lupa, mas masaganang ani, at mas sustainable na pagsasaka.

Para kay Mila Agpoon ng Siwawer Organic Practitioners Association Inc., ang bawat butil ng ani ay bunga ng sariling gawa, sariling sikap, at malasakit sa kalikasan.

Ang “Handog ng Pangulo” ay bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., na nagsisilbing paraan upang ipaabot ang pasasalamat ng Pangulo sa sambayanang patuloy na sumusuporta sa pamahalaan, sa pamamagitan ng pagdadala ng mga serbisyo at programa ng gobyerno nang mas malapit sa mga Pilipino.

Sa Ilocos Sur, isinagawa ang malawakang Serbisyo Fair sa pangunguna ng Provincial Government of Ilocos Sur (PGIS), katuwang ang 12 national government agencies. Layunin nitong direktang mailapit sa mga mamamayan, partikular sa mga nasa komunidad, ang mga serbisyong makatutulong sa kanilang kabuhayan at pang-araw-araw na pangangailangan.

Kabilang sa mga inihatid ng DA-RFO1 ang mga certificate of award para sa farm inputs, kagamitan at makinaryang pangkabuhayan, gayundin ang pamamahagi ng information, education and communication (IEC) materials at iba’t ibang uri ng binhi tulad ng ampalaya, kalabasa, kamatis at iba pa.

Dumalo sa aktibidad sina Ilocos Sur Governor Jeremias Singson, at Vice Governor Ryan Luis Singson, kasama sina DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cadcad, DMW Assistant Secretary Jerome Alcantara, DMW Regional Director Christian Rey Sison, at DSWD Regional Director Marie Angela Gopalan, .

Sa pamamagitan ng “Handog ng Pangulo,” ipinapakita na ang pagdiriwang ay hindi lamang tungkol sa isang mahalagang okasyon, kundi isang pagkakataon upang magpasalamat sa mamamayan sa pamamagitan ng serbisyong direktang nakararating sa mga komunidad at tumutugon sa kanilang pangangailangan.

Patuloy namang pinagtitibay ng DA-RFO1 ang commitment nitong palakasin ang lokal na produksyon ng pagkain, suportahan ang kabuhayan ng mga magsasaka at mangingisda, at maghatid ng inklusibo, sapat, at tapat na serbisyo publiko para sa lahat.

Ngayong araw sa San Fernando City, La Union, nagkaisa ang iba’t ibang ahensya ng pamahalaan upang ihatid ang serbisyo at tulong sa mga Ilokano sa pamamagitan ng Handog ng Pangulo: Serbisyong Sapat Para sa Lahat.

Para sa ating mga magsasaka, ang bawat binhi, kagamitan, punla, suporta sa kabuhayan at iba pang tulong ay hindi lamang simpleng ayuda. Ito ay puhunan para muling magtanim, maghanapbuhay at kumita para sa pamilya.

Sa pangunguna ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan ng La Union at pakikiisa ng mga ahensya ng pambansang pamahalaan, naging buhay ang diwa ng “La Union Agkaysa”—kapag sama-sama, mas maraming kayang gawin para sa ating mga kababayan.

Understanding the local agricultural conditions of the six selected sites of the Department of Agriculture’s Scale Up Program, a focus group discussion and validation of crop suitability maps were conducted in a meeting held at the Ilocos Norte Research & Experiment Center in Brgy. Cali Dingras, Ilocos Norte on September 8, 2026.

Initiated and sponsored by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in partnership with the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) through the DA-INREC in Dingras, the activity provided an avenue for gathering field-level information relevant to the project’s Enhancing Frameworks for Fast and Effective Cascading of Technologies in Agriculture (EFFECT).

Attended by the local government units and farmer representatives from the municipalities of Dingras, Bacarra, Badoc, Pasuquin, Vintar and the city of Batac, the activity generated vital information on their cropping and production systems, agricultural innovations, interventions, agricultural problems and limitations as well as some major solutions that contributed additional context to the project researchers.

Conducting these activities resulted to the production of validated crop suitability maps, identification of more practical recommendations for crop planning and scaling of appropriate agricultural innovations and training needs.

Mr. Benedict Jardinero, IRRI’s Manager on Digital Agriculture served as the facilitator of the focus group discussion along with the DA-RFO I’s Senior Researchers in the persons of Ms. Melinda Calumpit and Mr. Mark Ariel Agresor.
