Catamco disperses swines to 130 farmers
KIDAPAWAN CITY - One hundred thirty farmer beneficiaries were awarded with swine under the swine production program of Cotabato Governor Nancy Catamco during the dispersal at the provincial capitol today.
In her message during the signing of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and dispersal, the governor asked the cooperation of farmers in becoming responsible beneficiaries by attending to their swine properly and ensure proper production to earn income.

This may have been very little as to monetary value but she believes that improving the assistance they received lies on their diligence and hard work.
