Emano, who is a farmer himself, personally checked on the different machines at the capitol grounds before it was turned over to the beneficiaries.

The capitol said at least P10-million worth of 55 machines used for farming and another 20 module livestock valued at P2 million were also distributed through the different local government units of the 16 towns in the province.
