Jalosjos Tripartite Rubber Expansion and Enhancement (RAJTREE) for its 16 municipalities intervention at barangay Culasian, Titay, this province.

To signify the official launching of RAJTREE, a simple ribbon cutting ceremony was held at the said nursery site,  led by Gov. Jalosjos and was assisted by Titay Mayor Mecmec Rillera. The ceremony was witnessed by some municipal mayors, provincial board members, PNP officials and other provincial employees and officials.

In his welcome address, Gov. Jalosjos said RAJTREE is a different program for Zamboanga Sibugay. As some people are thinking that RAJTREE is head control in the industry, “NO”  basically, it’s purpose is to  help and strengthen the industry. This is the catalyst of our future, this is now the catalyst of what is Sibugay supposed to be for all our decisions, “that is what public service is all about giving back to the people,” Jalosjos emphasized.

“Let’s empower our people by giving them the opportunity to have choice in life for their children and the generations to come.” Jalosjos added.

The young governor was optimistic that all the guests and visitors who witnessed the event will  help Zamboanga Sibugay achieve its goal, dream and its reality. He also urged  the guests to support the program not only for the benefits of Sibugaynons, but for the entire Mindanao as well.

After the short program, the whole entourage proceeded to Veteran’s Village, Ipil for a tour at the first phase nursery project site, where some 600,000 rubber wildlings and seedlings are being propagated. The conference proper followed at Sibugay Grand Plaza Hotel, Sanito, Ipil. (PIA9/CAL)
