The Department of Agriculture Regional Office VI has identified a total of 7,282 Miagaowanon farmers and fisherfolks as beneficiaries of the Presidential Assistance for Farmers and Fisherfolks Program. The aid was distributed in two batches on May 30 and June 1, 2026, at the Regional Evacuation Center, providing much-needed support to those who depend on agriculture and fishing for their livelihood.
This program was made possible through the dedicated facilitation of the Office of Congresswoman Janette Garin, who has been active in advocating for the welfare of local farming and fishing communities.
The initiative aims to enhance the productivity and resilience of these workers by offering financial assistance and resources to help them overcome challenges posed by environmental and economic factors. Through such coordinated efforts, the program hopes to empower Miagaowanons and contribute to the overall development of the agricultural sector.
