Tambobong, Baguio District, Davao City.
The 3IB and the Department of Agriculture Region XI work unanimously to deliver efficiently the basic services to the disadvantaged, conflict-affected communities within the area of responsibility.
In this way, “providing livelihood opportunities to the deprived, indigent farmers could positively contribute to the improvement and empowerment that would create a great impact on their socio-economic status,” – Greg Lepura
Likewise, LTC. Tayamen added that “farming has been the backbone of our country’s economy; and dedicated farmers are the true gems which bring hope, health, and wealth to everyone. Thus, I salute those who continue to grow, to nurture, and to till acres of land for hours for, without them, there’s no food on the table”.
“You are one of the essential elements in sustaining life, in recovering the nation’s economy so our future generation could still appreciate the gold behind farming.
We, in the 3IB, will continue to help you as your partner in the agricultural cause amidst the crisis we are facing nowadays.” (CMO 3rd IB, OIC Michael Manguhig, RPN DXKT Davao)
