CARRASCAL, Surigao del Sur, Philippines – More farmers in this town have the reason to be happy because their farm production is expected to soar after the national government poured in funding for irrigation project.

The irrigation project is part of the Agrarian Reform Structure Support Project III (ARISP III) that will be implemented by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and National Irrigation Authority (NIA).

NIA Assistant Division Manager Constancio Banaay said the project has a total cost of P8,387,230 and will cover 40 hectares of potential irrigable areas.

“The said project would benefit more Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARB) in this town,” added Banaay.

It can be recalled that in the middle of December, 2010, the groundbreaking ceremony for the ARISP III Adlya-Ilaya Communal Irrigation Project (CIP) was held in Barangay Adlya, this town.

Vice Mayor Alfred Arreza said, “It was in the year 2005 when they submitted the project proposal and through constant follow-up at DAR Central Office-FAPSO and DAR Provincial Office the said project was finally approved.” (Mike Crismundo)
