FARMERS & FISHERFOLKS MONTH
The Municipality of Tuba proudly celebrates Farmers and Fisherfolks Month this May 2026, with the theme: βMakabagong Magsasaka at Mangingisda: Susi sa Masaganang Bagong Pilipinas.β
Under the leadership of Mayor Clarita P. Sal-ongan, the Tuba Local Government Unit, through the Municipal Agriculture Office (MAgO) headed by Flordelizo B. Abance, is gearing up to conduct a month-long celebration in honor of the municipalityβs farmers and fisherfolks.
This marks the first observance of the celebration following the passing of LGU Tuba Ordinance No. 535, series of 2025, which institutionalized the month of May every year as Farmersβ and Fisherfolksβ Month in the Municipality of Tuba. The ordinance aims to raise awareness about the importance of agriculture and fisheries in the local economy by recognizing the achievements and contributions of farmers and fisherfolks to the sustainable development of the municipality. Additionally, it seeks to encourage community participation in activities involving farming and fishing.
In line with this, a series of activities has been prepared throughout the month, including agricultural fairs, distribution of farming and fishing inputs, skills and technical trainings, and recognition programs for outstanding farmers and fisherfolks. These initiatives aim to enhance productivity, promote modern and sustainable practices, and introduce innovative, climate-resilient technologies to address current challenges in the sector.
Anchored on this yearβs theme, the celebration also highlights the importance of empowering local producers and encouraging greater participation from the youth and community in agriculture and fisheries.
Residents, stakeholders, and partner agencies are encouraged to actively participate in the scheduled activities.
