📣 ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL FARMERS AND FISHERFOLK

Following the impact of Typhoon Tino, the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) will conduct a Post-Damage Assessment to determine the extent of losses and damage to crops, livestock, fisheries, and agricultural facilities within our municipality.

We are requesting that all affected farmers and fisherfolk coordinate with their respective Barangay Officials or Barangay Agriculture/Fisheries Technicians to validate the affected areas.

Please prepare the following information:
✅ Name of farmer/fisherfolk and contact number
✅ Type of commodity affected (rice, corn, vegetables, livestock, fishery, etc.)
✅ Area (in hectares) or number of heads/cages affected
✅ Photos or proof of damage (if available)

All collected data will be consolidated and submitted to the Department of Agriculture’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Information System (DA-DRRMIS) to support rehabilitation and recovery efforts for our farmers and fisherfolk — purely in service to the community, without expecting anything in return.

Your cooperation will greatly help in ensuring timely support and recovery for our farming and fishing communities.

Stay safe and vigilant, and thank you for your continued resilience and partnership! ❤️🌾🐟

Magpahaum gid ang tanan mga kasimanwa. 🙏. Maging updated gid kita sa latest weather bulletin ng DOST-PAGASA .
