The recipient-barangays were Lintangan, Pasilnahot, Jatian, Puliran and Culabuan.
Joel M. Ventura, barangay chairman of Lintangan, expressed his gratitude to the provincial government after receiving six goats, two bags of corn seeds and different kinds of vegetable seeds.
“This agricultural assistance from the provincial agriculture will be a big help to the livelihood of 7,300 residents of this barangay,” Chairman Ventura said.
Livelihood promotion is one of the advocacies of Governor Roberto Uy spelled out in his nine-point agenda in order to help the poor especially the farmers raise their income.
Each recipient-farmer has to take care of the animals (goats, cows or carabaos) loaned to him and have them multiply so that the offspring can be also loaned out to another farmer-beneficiary in the neighborhood.
The other programs pursued under Governor Uy’s 9-point agenda include peace and order, infrastructure, good local governance, fishery, livestock, health, nutrition, social welfare and development and realistic environmental protection.
