By January 28, 2017Business, News

LINGAYEN –  The Sangguniang Panlalawigan recently authorized Gov. Amado Espino III to enter into an agreement with irrigation project beneficiaries for the implementation of rehabilitation and construction of various irrigation systems in  Pangasinan.

Board members Noel C. Bince and Liberato Z. Villegas said the agreement will serve as a “vehicle for collaboration efforts between the provincial government and Irrigators’ Association, Farmers Association and Fisherfolks project beneficiaries to promote and develop the sustainability of irrigation projects of the province.”

Provincial Agriculturist Dalisay Moya encouraged all farmers’ associations to strengthen their organization in order to qualify as beneficiaries of the projects.

It is the local government units that are vested with the power to apply their resources and assets for productive development or welfare purposes.

The irrigators association and farmers’ groups will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the project after it is completed and will submit periodic report on the operation and maintenance of the system to the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist. (PIO)
