Go pushes trainings for farmers, fishers
Excerpt
MONKAYO, Compostela Valley: Former special assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go has pushed for agri-entrepreneurship training and mentorship for small farmers and fisherfolk to provide them with additional income and uplift their living condition. Go made the commitment at the campaign rally of the Hugpong ng Pagbabago at the Monkayo Municipal Gym here on Wednesday, as he thanked the people of the province for the huge turnout to welcome their ticket. The former top aide, who has identified agriculture and food security as one of his legislative agenda priorities, said improved government support for small farmers and fisherfolk would go a long way toward improving their lives and strengthening the country’s food security.
