For two weeks, training was conducted across five coastal barangays: 𝐁𝐫𝐠𝐲. 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭,𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐚𝐧 on 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟖-𝟐𝟐, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, followed by 𝐁𝐫𝐠𝐲. 𝐋𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐬 on 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟔-𝟐𝟗, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓.

Ms. Laila L. Emperua, OIC-PHMSSS and DSIP Focal Person, opened the training by presenting the overview and objectives of the program. Engr. Vanessa F. Lariosa, DSIP Staff, then discussed the salient features of RA 11985, along with the SPTI and SPR, highlighting the provisions for salt producers. This was followed by Ms. Honey Joy D.

What makes DSIP important is its purpose: to revitalize and strengthen the country's salt industry, which for years was called an “orphan industry” due to limited attention and support. With DSIP – BFAR aims to bring back pride in our very own salt by combining traditional knowledge with modern approaches, ensuring that local producers are equipped to face today’s challenges.

This is just the beginning of DSIP in Region XII – with continued cooperation and hard work, we move closer to answering the call: “Pasiglahin, Sariling Ating Asin!”

Alongside these innovations, the project also continues to support the traditional “tisa” method of salt production, keeping it as part of the industry’s development. Through this project, BFAR calls on to everyone “𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙣, 𝙎𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙨𝙞𝙣!”- a united effort to bring back the strength and pride of local salt production.
