BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Benjamin Magalong reported that the Department of Agrarian Reform through Sec. Conrado Estrella III has approved the city’s request for P200 million that will fund the development of farm-to-market roads in seven sites in the Summer Capital.
Magalong, who made the request, said the request for funding assistance stemmed from dialogues with local farmers and agriculture sector stakeholders spearheaded by the City Veterinary and Agriculture Office where the need for FMRs development projects was raised. He said the dialogues are in line with the city’s pursuit of good governance by promoting participatory governance and democratic involvement of all stakeholders including farmers and fisherfolk.
