“This is a convergence. Tulong-tulong ang mga national government agencies para matulungan ang mga farmers at irrigators at mapaganda ang inyong produksyon,” Daoaten said during the ceremony launch held at the Diket Elementary School gym.

“Ito pong proyekto, napakaganda para bigyan kayo ng pangkabuhayan. May pagkakaabalahan tayo at pagkakakitaan,“ Engr. Miguel said.
The provincial government, through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, represented by Aurelia Cariaga, gave out 1,500 tilapia fingerlings that were dispersed in the river and will be ready for harvest in two months time.
Cariaga said trainings on organic fertilizer production, plant propagations and bio-pesticide propagation would also be given to the farmers.
Mayor Michael Corleone Cruz thanked the national agencies who travelled to Umingan to bring the good news to his town mates.
“Nararamdaman nating lahat ang tulong at ayuda ng gobyerno para sa mga magsasaka. Gamitin natin ng tama at huwag pabayaan,“ Mayor Cruz said in his native language addressing the farmers.
