Two more cooperatives have been added to the roster of DA-PCC-assisted co-op suppliers for the Milk Feeding Program—the Bongabon Agriculture Cooperative (BAC) and the Delaen Farmers Agriculture Cooperative (DFAC).
The DA-PCC conducted different kick-off activities to prepare the new supplier-cooperatives for the implementation of the 12th Cycle Supplementary Feeding Program of the Department of Social Welfare and Development Field Office III.
A “Milk Feeding Program Municipal Kick-off” with DFAC as the supplier took place today in Poblacion Sur, Rizal, Nueva Ecija, which was participated in by 150 guests and beneficiaries including the officials of the local government unit and Municipal Social Welfare and Development.
The activity served as a simulation for the Milk Feeding Program’s actual implementation, allowing the DFAC to take into account the different parameters that may emerge before, during, and after the execution of the program.
“Ang sarap po ng gatas ng kalabaw. Ito ay pandagdag nutrisyon at nakatutulong sa kabuhayan ng mga farmers natin. Buong-puso po ang aming suporta sa mga ganitong programa dahil alam po namin na makatutulong ito sa bayan ng Rizal,” Municipal Mayor Hanna Katrina Andres said.
The same simulation activity was conducted in the municipality of Bongabon, Nueva Ecija last October 17 with BAC as the supplier.
“Nagpapasalamat po kami sa DA-PCC dahil nabigyan kami ng pagkakataon na mapabilang sa Milk Feeding Program. Salamat din po sa suporta ng LGU Bongabon. Makakaasa po kayo na patuloy kaming maglilingkod sa ating bayan sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng masustansyang gatas ng kalabaw para sa mga batang residente ng ating bayan dahil sila po ang mga susunod na henerasyon at balang araw ay magpapatuloy ng ating nasimulan,” Mario Dela Cruz, BAC chairperson, assured.
