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.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Feb. 7 (PIA) -- The provincial government under Governor Alfonso V. Umali, Jr. has provided free life health insurance coverage of P20,000 to barangay officials of Pag-asa in Naujan town.
   
   
The training aims to orient farmers on using organic fertilizers in planting rice and vegetables and organic feeding in swine production.
The insurance coverage complements the provincial government’s health program for barangay officials of the province. The insurance has duration of 20 years.
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).
   
   
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 an earlier visit of the governor to the Mangyans of barangay Benli, Bulalacao, the indigents in the area were provided free medical mission, Philhealth insurance and free registration of birth certificates at the local civil registrar. (LTC/PIA-4B)
The pool of trainers were composed of Municipal Agricultural Officer Ely Vargas, two agriculturists from the City Agricultural Services Department of Calapan City, three agricultural technologists of Baco, three representatives from MOFA, two representatives from FORUM, and Dewey Albofera as cooperator or farm owner.
