CATIGBIAN gets P1.2M representing 50% of the funds for its priority plan to purchase a tractor from the Department of Agriculture (DA).
Mayor Roberto Salinas, representing Catigbian received the check from DA Regional Director Ricardo Oblena, during the Agri-trade Fair two weeks ago.
Salinas, who has been envisioning highly agricultural town Catigbian as a green haven for peace and development was so elated during the fund turn-over witnessed by Catigbianons and Bohol farmers who turned out for the fair.
Salinas also said the town would be putting up the other 50% of the amount to be able to purchase the tractor and hopefully start a government based mechanized farm tilling industry as a complement to the locally owned tractors which are for rent to farmers needing mechanized support in their fields.
