Small Farm Reservoirs to waterless areas constructed

The problems of some municipalities in the Agricultural Province of Bohol regarding the sources of water for
farming to include vegetables and fresh water fish productions have been gradually solved.
The PGBh hired as consultant former Provincial Irrigation Manager Calixto Seroje to study the establishment of
Small Farm Reservoirs (SFRs) to the waterless areas.
Marjoe Rey Labonite, Head-Research and Agri-Support Services (RASS) Office of the Provincial Agriculturist
(OPA) said that the team of Engr. Seroje had identified 104 sites from the nine municipalities for the establishment
of SFRs.
Labonite said the PGBh has already allocated P5.2 million through Agriculture for Rural Transformation (ART)
Community Engagement Project for the SFRs whose cost for labor per site is P44,000.
He disclosed that about 28 of the 104 SFRs were completely constructed in the towns of Pilar (15 sites), Trinidad
nine, Talibon two, and San Miguel two.
Actually, Labonite clarified that in Pilar there are 17 being identified, Trinidad 14, Talibon five, and San Miguel
10.
Other ideal areas for the construction of SFRs are in Buenavista which has 18 sites, Danao 14, Getafe 10 and
Alicia 6.
He said the project is very useful to contain the soil and water for rice, vegetables, and Tilapia productions.
It could also generate employment among Boholano farmers’ organizations/associations because of the labour
component of the program that requires laborers to do the construction of an SFR which has an area of 300 sq.m.
(15ms. x 20ms.) with 1.5ms. depth.
Last week, about 280 farmers of the 28 sites had received P4, 400 each as the salary for the 10 days of work of the
SFRs.
Labonite clarified that each SFR has to be constructed by the organization/association consisting of 10 members
using the carabao to plow the surface area of the site. (Atoy Cosap)

trooped at the Tabo to buy the farm gate prices of agri-fishery commodities coming from our Boholano
farmers.
Gov. Art. C. Yap upon knowing the successful operation of the ART Tabosa Bohol which was started
last May 18, 2020 wherein the total gross sales from among the farmers/ traders would reach to P20M, he
directed Dr. Larry M. Pamugas, officer-in-charge, OPA to study that the program would be conducted

of facemasks and face shields be strictly implemented at the Tabo, the PGBH has assigned some members
of the Provincial Security Force (PSF) in the area.
At start, the ART Tabosa Bohol was conducted only on Monday but due to the adamant request from
the buying public to include the senior citizens, the PGBh has granted the request to hold twice a week
every Monday and Thursday.
At the ART Tabosa Bohol, the buyers to include some senior citizens accompanied by relatives
trooped at the Tabo to buy agri-fishery commodities such as: rice, fish, vegetables, spices, fruits, dressed
chicken, eggs, favourite Boholano delicacies, dried fish and other agricultural products at cheaper prices
than those at the public markets and malls.
Gov. Yap has reiterated that the program also encouraged the Boholano farmers to expand their farms
because there is a sure market for their products. (Atoy Cosap)

Validations for SAP coco farmer beneficiaries fast track

The Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) Bohol Provincial Office through its Coconut Development Officers
(CDOs) is fast-tracking to conduct the evaluation among Boholano coconut farmers to come up with the legitimate
beneficiaries of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP) worth P5,000 each from the Department of Agriculture
(DA) through the PCA.
Emiliano Romero, Bohol PCA Manager said that based on the random selection by the PCA National Head
Office from among the coconut farmers nationwide, there are about 346,000 coconut farmers to be the beneficiaries
of the program wherein 22,729 of these are for the Boholano coconut farmers.
Romero said that they have been asking the barangay officials to help the CDOs to expedite the evaluation
considering their very limited numbers of CDOs which have only 10 to cover the entire province as what they have
agreed during their zoom meeting with PCA Regional Director Brendan Trasmonte last Nov. 28, 2020. 
He bared that they only received the information regarding the program last November 15, 2020, and they have
given the deadline to submit the list of the legitimate beneficiaries on December 11, 2020.

QUALIFICATIONS

Romero disclosed that based on the given guidelines the beneficiaries of the program only those coconut
farmers who have not received SAP through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), not 4P’s
beneficiaries under Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT), not government employees, not a member of the family of
elected officials and not belong to a well-off family.
He said that based on the trend of the ongoing evaluation only a few of the total numbers of the registered
Boholano coconut farmers are illegible to receive the SAP considering that most of them were already recipients of
the previous programs of the government.
Bohol has a total number of 174,781 coconut farmers comprising from 65,777 in the First District, 38,600 (2nd
District) and 70,404 for the 3rd District, he said.
Romero said that after the evaluation, the list of the illegible Boholano coconut farmers of the program would
be submitted to the PCA Regional Office on December 11, 2020, and then the regional office will submit it to PCA
National Office and finally to the DA wherein the money was being downloaded for the nationwide payout through
M Lhuillier.
Romero explained that actually of the P5,000, only P3,000 cash subsidy a beneficiary will be receiving because
the remaining amount will be in kind: rice worth P1,000, chicken meat (P600) and eggs (P400).
