-LUCENA CITY, Quezon- Quezon Governor David Suarez announced improvement of the computerization program of all public high schools in the province.
+CANDELARIA, Quezon- The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) organized a forum for coffee growers recently as a step to boost the coffee industry in the province.
-Computer laboratory buildings of two public high schools were equipped with computer units last year.
+About 30 coffee growers from the towns of Candelaria and Sariaya attended the forum.
-The governor wants all students of public high schools in the province to be knowledgeable in using computers to be more competitive.
+Philip Oliveros, trade and industry development specialist of DTI-Quezon, said the forum aims to improve coffee production, increase earnings of coffee farmers and strengthen the coffee industry in the province.
-He added that if the students are equipped with skills and knowledge in using computers, they could easily find job after graduating from high school.
+He added that coffee production will be expanded in the barangays of Bukal Norte, Mayabo, Masalukot 3, Masalukot 4, Masalukot 5 in Candelaria town and in barangay Concepcion Banahaw in Sariaya town, which are part of the agrarian reform community (ARC) project of DAR-Quezon 1.
-Suarez prioritizes the establishment of computer laboratory building in public high schools in far-flung towns of the province.
+Under the project, DAR will provide coffee seedlings for distribution to coffee growers while the DTI will teach the farmers the proper cultivation of coffee. The DTI will also look for possible market for the coffee produced.
-He said students in these areas have difficulty finding computer shops unlike schools that are located in the urban towns where access to computers is very easy.
+On the other hand, in support to the project, Nestle Philippines will set up coffee buying stations in the two towns for coffee farmers sell harvested coffee at the right price.
+Meanwhile, the provincial government is supporting the development of coffee industry in the province by providing farmers with technical capabilities, access to capital and loans and marketing skills.
