This development was pushed during the Board of Trustees
meeting for the Bangon Mini-Farms Association Alpha Sector Inc. held on
Wednesday, July 16 at Headquarters 19th Infantry Battalion in Brgy. Aguiting, Kananga , Leyte .
Director Domingo Diaz, member of LandBank Board of Trustees
who pioneered the Bangon Mini Farm concept in Super Typhoon “Yolanda” affected
areas in Samar and Leyte, said a memorandum of agreement is underway between
Bangon and a market chain in Cebu.
With this significant progress, Mr. Gil Carandang, the
Father of Philippine Organic Farming who also sits in the Board of Trustees for
the Bangon Mini-Farms Alpha Sector Association Inc., is scheduled to conduct a
weeklong field audit to assess 19 types of vegetables required by the would-be
market. The vegetables requested by the market chain are currently on intensive
field test at Bangon pilot farms.
Field audits will cover pilot farms at Ormoc
City , Kananga ,
Capoocan, Carigara, San Isidro , Calubian and
Jaro, all of Leyte province and will be
assisted by the 19th Infantry Battalion.
During the meeting, Director Diaz handed over the Alpha
Sector’s Certificate of Incorporation (COI) which was issued by the Securities
and Exchange Commission on June 18 this year. The COI contains Company Reg. Nr.
CN201411778 and Company TIN 008-801-182 signed by Dir. Ferdinand B. Sales, of
SEC’s Company Registration and Monitoring Department.
The membership of Bangon Mini-Farms Association Alpha Sector
Inc. is now placed at 426, seven months after ST Yolanda.
Lt. Col. Nedy Espulgar, commanding officer of 19IB said,
“The program is beneficial to farmers whose income is within the poverty
threshold. With this program, a farmer with 1000 square meters of tillable land
can earn up to P16,000.00 per month.”
