BALER, Aurora-The 91st Infantry “Sinagtala” Battalion, 7th Infantry Division, Philippine Army and former rebels hold its 1st Sinagtala Farm harvest festival in a 1 hectare land at Barangay Calabuanan in this capital town of Aurora this morning (August 25, 2020) to showcase the vegetable and other crops they raised where the festival was also held.
LTC REANDREW P RUBIO INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of 91st IB said among the vegetables and fruits they planted since June 4, 2020 were 5,500 chili, 1,000 eggplant and 150 papaya.
“We harvest over 50 Kilos of chili, we are happy for the opportunity to promote the harvest of our former rebels,” LTC RUBIO said.
He added that the activity symbolizes that the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) is indeed effective due to strong partnership and close collaboration with the Provincial Government of Aurora (PGA) and other National Government Agencies (NGAs) in support to National Government’s Plant, Plant, Plant Program.
“We are very grateful of the support and services provided by the government both local and national to address the needs and aspirations of our Former Rebels who are beneficiaries of our SINAGTALA Farm,” he said.
Aurora Governor Gerardo A. Noveras personally lauded the 91st IB for their efforts in helping former rebels to become productive members of the society.
Noveras said the provincial government of Aurora wanted that kind of activity wherein the farmers must practice what they learned, not only for a day but for their entire farming career.
“The program is a big success. Helping our farmers from zero income, now they have bountiful harvest. If you give them a fish, your feed them for one day, if you teach them how to catch a fish, you feed them for a life time. Huwag po tayong maging ningas kugon sa pagtatanim, manapay gawin natin ang tama upang tayo ay makatindig sa ating mga sariling mga paa,” Noveras added.
Noveras also advised to embrace the program cascaded by the Army, PNP, Department of Trade and industry, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), Department of Agriculture, among others.
