The machinery will be managed by the provincial government which Bulakenyo farmers will have easy access to if they need to use it.

 

 

In collaboration with Bulacan 1st District Representative Danilo A. Domingo and Gov. Daniel R. Fernando, PAGCOR released the said machinery for the utilization of farmers from the City of Malolos and the towns of Bulakan, Calumpit, Hagonoy, Paombong and Pulilan.

 

 

“Iisa lang po ang hinihiling kong kapalit ng biyayang ipinanaog naming tapusin sa hapon na ito. Sana po'y lalo kayong ganahan pang magsaka, ibahagi ninyo sa mga kabataan nang sa ganoon ay lalo pang umunlad ang sektor ng agrikultura dito. Hindi lamang sa unang distrito, hindi lamang sa lalawigan ng Bulacan, kundi sa buong bansang minamahal nating Pilipinas,” (There is only one thing I ask in exchange for the grace that we have sent down this afternoon. I hope you will love moe to farm, share it with the youth so that agriculture sector here will develop even more. Not only in the first district, not only in the province of Bulacan but in the entire country that we love, the Philippines)," Tengco said.

 

PAGCOR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alejandro H. Tengco attended the turnover ceremony.

Meanwhile, Fernando expressed his gratitude to Tengco for his big help in boosting the agricultural sector of the province.

 

 

“Chairman, thank you so much po sa pagmamahal na ibinibigay mo sa ating lalawigan at lalung lalo po sa District 1. Ito po ay malaking bagay para sa ating mga magsasaka sapagkat ito ay hinahanap nila. At talaga namang ito'y kailangang kailangan ngayon in advance technology of farming. Kailangang kailangan na po ito talaga at ‘yun iba kasi nahihirapang yumuko di ba para magtanim,” (for the love you five to our province especially to the First District. This is a big help for our farmers because they are what they looking for. And this is really necessary now in advance technology of farming. It must be really necessary and that's different because gets hard to bend down when planting)," the governor said.

 

 

The governor also highlighted the programs of the PGB including Bulacan Farmer's Productivity Center and training school, and the Provincial Government Multiplier and Breeding Center to achieve food security and sufficiency.
