The government will remain unrelenting in developing and strengthening policies to improve the quality of life of agricultural families.

In his speech at the ceremonial distribution of land titles and farm machineries and equipment in Tubod, Lanao del Norte, President Marcos assured the government will continue prioritizing the welfare of agricultural workers.

“Hindi kami titigil sa [paglikha], pagpapatibay, at pagpapatupad ng aming mga polisiyang [magpapagaan] ng inyong pamumuhay at [magpapayabong] sa buong sektor ng agrikultura, hindi lamang dito sa inyo kung hindi sa buong Pilipinas,” the President said.

“Hindi po kami napapagod sa pag-iisip ng mga proyekto at programang [magtataguyod sa] inyong kapakanan,” he said.

A total of 2,558 regular Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) and e-titles covering 3,006.12 hectares were distributed to 2,850 Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) from the provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Oriental, and Misamis Occidental during the event.

“Ito ay katuparan ng aming pangako na suyurin ang buong bansa — ang bawat lalawigan— upang palakasin ang hanay ng ating mga magsasaka,” President Marcos said.

The Chief Executive also led the turnover of seven farm machineries and equipment worth PhP2.68 million to farmer-group beneficiaries in Lanao del Norte. These include two mini-hauling trucks, a mini farm tractor, a mobile rice mill, a mobile corn sheller, and a banana slicing chopping machine.

The President urged the beneficiaries to maximize the use of the services and programs extended by the government.

“Ang hiling ko lang ay ang inyong maayos at produktibong paggamit ng mga natanggap at matatanggap pa na serbisyo mula sa pamahalaan, at ang inyong taos-pusong suporta sa ating mga layunin at mga hakbang para mabuo ang isang Bagong Pilipinas,” he said. PND
