In his acceptance message, newly elected Chairperson Anthony Page-et highlighted the Department of Agriculture’s advocacy on food security and called for stronger support for local farmers and backyard gardening initiatives.
He encouraged residents to patronize locally grown agricultural products and assured farmers that the council would continue to serve as their voice.
“Walang maiiwan sa farming. Lahat ng boses ay maririnig sa pamamagitan ng IMAFC,” he said.
Page-et also underscored the importance of involving the youth in agriculture and stressed that Itogon’s mining industry should not hinder the municipality’s agricultural development.
“Hindi hadlang ang pagiging mining area ng Itogon para magkaroon ng farming dito sa ating lugar,” he added.
