Senator Francis Pancratius N. Pangilinan on Monday advised the estimated 20,000 farmers and fishermen affected by Typhoon Rolly (international name “Goni”) to avail themselves of the zero-interest loans and crop insurance payouts of the Department of Agriculture (DA). Pangilinan said the DA has cash allotted for this type of situation. “Every farmer can borrow P25,000 in zero-interest survival and recovery loan payable in 10 years,” he said.
