THE Provincial Government of Pampanga has led the election of new officials of the Provincial Agricultural and Fishery Council (PAFC) recently.
The PAFC is an organization of farmers and fishermen that serves as an advisory body to the province’s fisheries and agricultural programs.
Led by the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA), farmers and fishermen elected the representatives and leaders of the council.
Attending the reorganization activity was Third District Board Member Ananias Canlas, Jr., chairperson of the Provincial Committee on Agriculture and Food.
“Ito ‘yung counterpart natin sa private sector. Ito ‘yung organisasyon na nakatalaga para tumingin at maging boses ng agriculture at fishery sector nang gayon ay mabigyang daan kung ano ba ‘yung mga programa na pwedeng pagkaisahan, bigyang pansin, at pondohan ng provincial at national government. Katuwang natin sila sa pagpapatupad ng mga programa na magpapaganda sa kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda,” Canlas said.
The agriculture committee chairperson also assured that Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, Vice Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda, and the entire Sangguniang Panlalawigan will not neglect and continue to listen to the agricultural sector in the province.
