Jerry Sad-o, one of the recipients, Member of Movement and Alliance that Advocate Men in Action (MAAMA) and a graduate of Farm Field School expressed his appreciation to the overwhelming support of the government. “Mapasalamaton ko sa atong lokal nga panggamhanan sa Impasugong, sa Department of Agriculture (DA-10) Rehiyon X ug sa mga kasundaluhan nga naghatag kanamo og mga similya ug ekwipo nga kinahanglan gyud namo isip ka mag-uuma. Uban sa mga kauban nako sa MAAMA, dako ang among pasalamat sa atong gobyerno sa ilang interbensyon nga makatabang sa pagpahimaya sa among panginabuhi.” (I am very happy that Local Government Unit (LGU) of Impasugong, DA-10, and the Philippine Army gave us seeds and farm equipment which we really need as a farmer. On behalf of the MAAMA organization, we are grateful to the government for the interventions made which will help us alleviate our living conditions.)
“Tungod sa paghiusa sa mga nagkalain-laing ahensya sa gobyerno, kami nakahatag og serbisyo sa mga katawhan sa layo kaayo nga mga lugar. Kini nga yunit uban pa ang mga kauban sa kalinaw ug kalambuan magpadayon ug kanunay nga andam maghatag og interbensyon sa mga gapanghinanglan.” said LTC Edgardo V Talaroc Jr, Commanding Officer of 8th Infantry “Dependable” Battalion. (Due to collaboration of different agencies, we are able to deliver services to the constituents in the far-flung areas. This unit together with its peace and development partners will continue and is always ready to provide interventions to those who really need it most).
Col Ferdinand T Barandon, Commander of 403rd Peacemaker Brigade said “Kami gapasalamat bisan sa kalayo sa dalan paingon sa Barangay Kalabugao, ang kagamhanan sa Impasugong ug sa DA-10 nianhi para tubagon ang mga isyu nga gihisgut sa kasundaluhan nga gigamit sa teroristang NPA sa pagrekrut sa mga mag-uuma. Kining mga proyekto makatabang sa mga mag-uuma sa pagpadaghan sa ilahang tanum ug aron mutaas pa ang estado sa ilahang kinabuhi. Kami gapasalig kaninyo kauban ang mga laing ahensya sa gobyerno nga ang mga proyekto at programa na makaabot bisan sa mga tagong lugar.” (We are thankful that despite the distance to Barangay Kalabugao, the LGU of Impasugong and the DA-10 heeded the issues raised by the Philippine Army that the Communists New People’s Army Terrorists (CNT’s) used to recruit our farmers. The projects help the farmers to focus in producing more crops and further lift their living standards. We assure you that together with other government agencies, projects and programs will reach even the remote areas.)
