Written by
The groundbreaking of the P1.3 million free range multiplier chicken farm was held in Barangay Balubal, Cagayan de Oro City over the weekend.
Speaking in behalf of Cagayan de Oro City Mayor Rolando ‘Klarex’ Uy during Monday morning’s flag-raising program, City Administrator Hilario Roy Raagas said the city was one of the beneficiaries of the livestock project initiated by the Department of Agriculture (DA). He said equipment like incubators were turned over by the DA regional office to City Hall during the ceremony.
 
‘The DA will provide training to the beneficiaries in pilot barangays and also the equipment if they request per (10-member) group. This DA-10 assistance will go a long way towards ensuring food security and livelihood (for some upland barangays). Cagayan de Oro City is one of the beneficiaries of this livestock farm program,’ Raagas said in Visayan.
 
Other beneficiaries of the livestock farm project in northern Mindanao were Jasaan town in Misamis Oriental, Impasug-ong town in Bukidnon province and select towns in Lanao del Norte and Misamis Occidental provinces, Raagas said./Text by SC with photo by Roel Felicitas of CIO
