To enhance agricultural productivity across Bulacan, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Bulacan Irrigation Management Office (IMO), under the leadership of Bulacan IMO Manager Engr. Placida C. Codero, has commenced the distribution of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) subsidies for dry crops for Fiscal Year 2024.
A series of subsidy batches were awarded across divisions 1 to 15 led by O&M Acting Section Chief Engr. Janelle I. Santos; former O&M Section Chief, Engr. Ernesto L. Mapoy; Engineering Section Chief, Engr. Wendell C. Martin; Administrative and Finance Acting Section Chief Ma. Lourdes S. Dela Cruz, and Institutional Development Section Chief Eden C. Garcia.
The O&M subsidy has seen a remarkable increase from P150 to P500 per hectare per cropping because of the recent update to Memorandum Circular No. 147, Series of 2023. The said increase is expected to provide much-needed financial relief and incentivize irrigation maintenance that is crucial for sustaining agricultural activities during the challenging dry season months.
