On March 4, 2023, The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Region III Manager and concurrent OIC Deputy Administrator for Engineering and Operations Sector Engr. Josephine B. Salazar spearheaded the conduct of Aurora-Nueva Ecija Irrigation Management Office (ANE IMO) Turnover of Completed Projects, IA Consultation, and Contract Signing at the Baler Convention Center, Barangay Reserva, Baler, Aurora.
The NIA Region III ANE IMO has successfully turned over a total of 9 completed projects from CY 2022 to CY 2023 to its IAs with 493 farmer-beneficiaries. The completed projects include Wenceslao CIS, Disolon CIP Construction of Diversion, Disolon CIP Repair of Diversion Works, Pugo CIP, Igang-Maligaya CIS Upper, Dikabasan CIP, San Jose SWIP, Sapang Kawayan CIP, and Bangco-Ramada CIP.
A synchronized signing ceremony of the Modified Irrigation Management Transfer (IMT) Contracts took place between NIA and 9 IAs in Aurora. This paves the way for the execution of Memorandum Circular No. 147, Series of 2023, which increases the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Subsidy from P150/HA/Cropping to P500/HA/Cropping, significantly improving the agricultural sustainability and productivity in the region.
The program was joined by Provincial Government officials of Aurora and government partner agencies of NIA such as the Department of Agriculture (DA-RFO III), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech), Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
