Local folks trained in sustainable pig farming

HERMOSA, Bataan – About 20 local folks were trained in scientific sustainable pig farming, and will be aided by the provincial government to be able to start livelihood.
“They will be given native pigs by the provincial government for them to raise. As part of the program, they will return one offspring to be given to others”, said Board Member Benjie Serrano who is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture.
“The beneficiaries graduated from a 6-month training in sustainable pig farming”, said the board member who together with Provincial Veterinarian Alberto Venturina attended the graduation program held few days ago in Barangay Pandatung, Hermosa.
The provincial veterinarian said the pigs to be distributed will come from DA regional office.
Hermosa Mayor Jopet Inton is in full support to the project as he sent his representative in the graduation ceremony.
“Local folks are truly very grateful to the training on sustainable pig farming, which happened through the leadership of Gov. Garcia”, the board member concluded.
