BORONGAN CITY, Mar. 12 (PIA) -- The 78th Infantry Battalion led by LtCol. Oliver Arviol turned-over an Egg-laying project to the San Gabriel Farmers Association (SAGIFA), San Gabriel, Borongan City on March 12, 2021.
The SAGIFA is composed of 38 farmers from San Gabriel at least 20 kilometers west of the city proper.
Their egg-laying project is located on top of a hill in half a hectare area owned by the family of their association president Vicente Cada.
The association sought the help of the city officials to build a house for the 1, 400 egg layers.
“Maupay ini nga amon proyekto, nakakabulig na ha amon,” said Cada when asked about the economic benefits the project has given them.
Alvior signed the deed of donation and entrusted the farmers to take good care of the project.
“This is part of our effort to uplift the living condition of the community,” said the army officer.
This he added is also the result of the Retooled Community Service Program of the Task Force End Local Communist Armed Conflict. (TF-ELCAC).
“We try to provide a source of livelihood making irrelevant the claims of the enemy of the state that the government neglects our people, this is also a way of insulating them from re-recruitment,” said Arviol.
The farmers take care of more than a thousand layers that give them at least 36 trays of eggs daily. The egg-laying project is located 300 meters from their water source and bringing water uphill poses a challenge, yet SAGIFA President Vicente Cada is not losing hope that some government entity will answer their issues on the water.
“We submitted a resolution to Gov. Ben Evardone and we are hopeful, he will respond positively, said SAGIFA officer Nanie.
Borongan City Mayor Dayan Agda said that the Egg-laying project is an inspiring project, “this is a model project in Borongan, I think this is a success story nga mag-iiha, it is promising.”
The mayor has big plans for the area, he proposes it to be a tourism area as it is near the crowd-drawing Kaputian Falls. LtCol Oliver Arviol also said that with the women of San Gabriel being organized, they can cook food for the bikers, tourists, or picnickers in the area. (nbq/ PIA E.SAMAR)
