‎The test-run was attended by personnel from National Irrigation Administration- Eastern-Western Samar Irrigation Office (EWSIMO), Cabacungan United Farmers Irrigators Association, Inc., Department of Agriculture technicians, Barangay officials, and contractors, who witnessed the operation and assessed the project’s readiness prior to turnover.

‎
‎Beyond bringing water to the fields, the Cabacungan SPIP is envisioned to contribute to a more resilient approach to rice farming, particularly in the face of drought and changing weather, ensuring that water not only sustains crops, but also the livelihoods behind every harvest.
