Association, including the Municipal farmers Association (MUFAC) in this town.

facilities is the result of the approved project proposal during DOLE and

organize and empower communities and indulge on long-term and sustainable
solutions to the country’s perennial issue on poverty,” said Lt. Col. Roberto
