When agencies unite with a shared purpose, meaningful change becomes possible.
On May 14, 2026, partner government agencies and key stakeholders gathered in Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental for the Regional Inter-Agency Technical Committee (RIATC) Meeting to assess progress, address challenges, and strengthen collaboration in implementing the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan (CFIDP).
The meeting was led by PCA Region VI Regional Manager III Dr. Neil J. Melencion, together with PCA Region VII Regional Manager III Mrs. Aurora L. Paquibot, Division Chief of Negros Occidental Engr. Jean Alisna, Division Chief of Iloilo Mr. Joel P. Solis, Acting Project Development Officer IV Mr. Dionelo J. Ongga, CFIDP partner agencies, and PCA personnel.
The gathering served as an important venue to review accomplishments, align strategies, plans, and reinforce inter-agency convergence to ensure that programs and services are delivered more effectively to coconut farmers across Region 6 and NIR.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Local Government Unit of Hinoba-an, led by Hon. Mayor Daph V. Reliquias, RN, for their warm hospitality, generous accommodation, and invaluable support, which greatly contributed to the fruitful discussions and overall success of the meeting.
Through stronger partnerships, shared commitment, and collective action, we move closer to achieving the vision of a more resilient, productive, and prosperous coconut industry for every Filipino coconut farmer.
