00:00Local farmers continue to receive assistance from the government through a new solar-powered irrigation system
00:07designed to ensure sustainable and efficient water access for farmlands.
00:12Maine Odong from Philippine Information Agency, Kila Barzon, tells us more.
00:18Edgardo Baldoria, a farmer from Marangay Castañas in Saria, Quezon,
00:23is among those who will directly benefit from the newly launched solar-powered irrigation system
00:29by the National Irrigation Administration in their barangay.
00:32This is aligned with the President's initiatives and directives to focus on development projects.
00:38Ngayon po naman, nagkaroon na po ng solar, malaking bagay na po, talagang malaking-malaking tulong po ito para sa amin.
00:45Unang-una, yung pambayad namin sa misil na ipinangano sa, ano, mawawala na, mapapunta na po yun sa pamilya na po yun.
00:54The project is expected to help farmers in Sariaia save around 80,000 pesos in operating cost per cropping season
01:01and will provide financial relief to farmers as it offers reliable and renewable water source, crucial for areas with limited supply.
01:09NIA officials say that this is part of a nationwide push for climate-resilient and eco-friendly agricultural systems,
01:17especially in remote areas to improve productivity where traditional irrigation access is limited.
01:23Ramdam natin ang epekto ng tagtuyot sa pagpapayabong ng ating mga agpananim.
01:29Pero nakita nyo naman, ano, dati-dati kung kailan tayo dapat magtanim kasi maaraw, hindi na tayo nagkakapagtanim.
01:37Pero ngayon, kakampi na natin ang araw kasi yun na po ang fuel ng ating solar pump.
01:44Kaya, ang productivity natin lumalaki.
01:47Water remains a key resource for agriculture, which is why, through the solar-centered communal irrigation system,
01:55NIA expects a more bountiful harvest and an increased income for local farmers.
02:00From PIA Caliberzon, Maine Auto, Balita, Pambansa.
