CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 1 (PIA) -- The provincial government of Oriental Mindoro through Gov. Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. provided 2,000 textbooks to the Department of Education (DepEd) Oriental Mindoro Division.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 3 (PIA) -- The Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) of the Department of Agriculture MIMAROPA conducted training on organic farming in Barangay Pinagsabangan I, Naujan today.
   
   
The provision of textbooks aims to help public school students enhance their skills in their fields of study.
The training aims to orient farmers on using organic fertilizers in planting rice and vegetables and organic feeding in swine production.
It is a joint project of ATI and the local government units of Calapan City, Naujan, and Baco, with the support of two non-government organizations, the Mindoro Organic Farmers Association (MOFA) and Farmers Organization for the Rural Upliftment of Mindoro (FORUM).
   
   
Schools Division Superintendent Estrellita A. Dolor and representatives from different districts of DepEd Oriental Mindoro received the textbooks during the formal turnover ceremony held at Sta. Isabel, Calapan City.
The training started last Nov. 4, 2011 and expects to finish by April this year. The activity is held every Friday for the whole duration of the training, with the participation of 35 farmer participants from the said municipalities.
   
   
In his speech, Umali said that education and health are the primary concerns of his administration wherein 75 percent of the provincial budget is allotted to health and education. (LBR/LTC/PIAIV-B/CALAPAN)
