To ease the burden of O&M costs on farmers and improve the overall performance of irrigation systems, NIA Bataan Satellite Office successfully distributed the Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Subsidy for the Dry Season Crop 2024 on September 26, 2024.
Pampanga-Bataan IMO Manager Engr. Ruben R. Llamas and Bataan Satellite IMO Head Engr. Janelle Inavit-Santos ensured the efficient distribution of subsidies to the beneficiaries. These include the Pilar Magsaysay Irrigators Association (Pilar Magsaysay IA) under the Communal Irrigation Systems (CIS), along with the Colo Farmers IA and Mangindong-Bacong IA under the Colo Layac Balsik River Irrigation System (CLBRIS).
With this financial assistance, local farmers can focus on increasing crop yields while contributing to food security in the region. It demonstrates NIA’s unwavering support for the agricultural sector and its commitment to boosting farm productivity through collaborative efforts with IAs and local communities.
Pampanga Delta River Irrigation Systems (PDRIS) O&M Chief Engr. Clarita G. Silverio, and Engineering Section Chief Engr. Angelito D. David supported the event.
