President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has directed the National Irrigation Administration and the Department of Public Works and Highways to work together on irrigation projects, NIA Administrator Eduardo Guillen said. | JEMendozaINQ
Guillen said NIA had already given the DPWH its list of priority projects.
“Again, we have provided the list of the projects, and the president told Secretary Manny Bonoan of public works to help us. This is unity, right?” he said. “We hope that the government would implement around P200 billion worth of dam projects to change our agricultural landscape.” The NIA has so far irrigated 1.5 million hectares of farmlands nationwide, while 500,000 hectares were irrigated by the Department of Agriculture and local governments.RELATED STORIES
