🇵🇭🇻🇳 LEARN • INNOVATE • EMPOWER 🌱🌾

Cong Alfel Bascug and Vice Governor Ate Pat Plaza led a delegation composed of Sangguniang Bayan Members of Bunawan, Esperanza, Prosperidad, San Francisco, Trento and Veruela to an Experiential Learning Trip on Science-Based Agricultural Modernization and Innovation in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The official engagement was pursued to strengthen the scientific capacity of our local legislators, equipping them to translate agricultural research and modern technologies into policies, programs, and investments that directly benefit Agsurnon farmers.

Through technical training and knowledge exchanges with the Vietnam Academy of Agricultural Sciences (VAAS) and the Fruits and Vegetables Research Institute (FAVRI), the Agusan del Sur delegation gained valuable insights into Vietnam’s science-driven agricultural practices.

Even the Philippine diplomatic corps in Hanoi shared insights on how Vietnam’s agricultural approaches could offer practical lessons for improving Philippine farming.

🌱 Every municipality in Agusan del Sur is transformed to be an active partner in the Provincial Government’s scientific agriculture agenda.

This entails translating lessons from Vietnam into local ordinances, providing frontline support to PGAS-PRDIO, dedicated agricultural budgets, soil testing, improved planting materials, stronger extension services, farmer training, climate-smart farming technologies, and better market access.

Our local legislators are in the best service position to bridge the gap between scientific research and the everyday needs of our farmers.

🌾 Science must move beyond laboratories and reach every farm and farming household. More than the number of institutions visited or technologies studied, the duty is to have more farmers adopting better practices, lowering production costs, increasing harvests, earning higher incomes, and securing better livelihoods.

A true agricultural transformation—where every municipality takes action and every Agsurnon farmer has a fair opportunity to prosper! 💚

Para sa Mag-uuma. Para sa Mas Mauswagong Agusan del Sur! 🇵🇭🌾

BRINGING BETTER HEALTHCARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES CLOSER TO EVERY AGSURNON! 🏥💚

Cong. Eddiebong Plaza along with Vice Governor Ate Pat Plaza and Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members joined Bunawan Mayor Sylvia Elorde during the turnover of the new Hemodialysis and Multi-Diagnostic Buildings at the Valentina Galido Plaza Memorial Hospital (VGPMH).

These new facilities will strengthen the hospital’s capacity to deliver accessible, quality, and life-saving medical services in Bunawan and the rest of Agusan del Sur’s southwestern municipalities.

The DSWD Caraga also opened its Crisis Intervention Unit Satellite Office at VGPMH, bringing vital financial and social assistance closer to patients, families, and communities in need.

Through stronger collaboration among national agencies and local government, these public investments translate into meaningful services that directly improve people’s lives and bridge the healthcare and social services gap in far flung barangays. 💚

CULTIVATE•CONNECT•SUSTAIN 💚

Mibisita si Cong Eddiebong Plaza, Cong Alfel Bascug og Vice Gov Ate Pat Plaza sa Brgy Padiay, Sibagat aron sutaon ang nurseries sa Arabica og Robusta coffee ubos sa USAD Coffee Program. Dungan niini, malipayon usab nilang gikahimamat ang Sumanda og Salahay clans nga maoy nagdumala sa maong proyekto.

Pinaagi sa panaghiusa sa gobyerno ug sa atong mga pamilyang mag-uuma, padayon natong tinguhaon nga mahimong "Coffee Capital" sa Agusan del Sur ang Barangay Padiay!
