ANOTHER ten (10) healthy goats were distributed to San Rafael Bagatao Consumers Cooperative (SRBCC) on October 6, 2016 by the DAR Sorsogon headed by Leonito M. Gaveria, Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer – II and the Provincial Veterinary Office (PVO) under the leadership of Dr. Asley De Castro.

It is part of the Sorsogon Agro-Livestock Project implemented by DAR and the Provincial Local Government Unit of Sorsogon. Thomas Diesta, Agricultural Extension Services Point Person saw the potential for goat production of the coconut land tended by Agapito Tordillos, Sr., member of SRBCC, that’s why he coordinated with Ms. Evelyn Aurellano of the Sorsogon PVO in order for the coop to avail such project.

Through the support of Hon. Roberto A. Lee-Rodrigueza, Governor of Sorsogon, and the effort of Lope Galindes, Municipal Agrarian Reform Program Officer (MARPO) of Magallanes, these farm animals were transported to the Bagatao Island.

“We have chosen Tordicillos to be the cooperator of this project because he is an Agrarian Reform Beneficiary and a member of the cooperative,” MARPO Galindes said.

Tordicillos’ initial goal is to multiply the goats until he is able to give ten (10) kids from these to the cooperative. ###
