The NIA Pampanga-Bataan Irrigation Management Office (PamBat IMO) successfully launched its KADIWA ng Pangulo store at the Pampanga Delta River Irrigation System (PDRIS) Satellite Office on October 24, 2024, despite the suspension of government work in Pampanga and the challenges posed by Typhoon Kristine.
Led by Engr. Clarita G. Silverio, PDRIS Operations and Maintenance Chief, and supported by IMO Manager Engr. Ruben R. Llamas, the store sold 300 sacks of Bagong Bayaning Magsasaka (BBM) Rice at the standard price of P29 per kilo.
Located in San Sebastian, San Luis, Pampanga, the rice was sourced from local Irrigators Associations (IAs) under NIA Rice Contract Farming Program, which aims to support farmers while providing affordable rice to the community. The event stands as a testament to NIA’s unwavering commitment to agricultural development and the empowerment of farming communities, embodying hope and resilience even in challenging times.
