“Ngayong hapon, tayo ay mamimigay ng mga makinarya sa pagsasaka, gaya ng combine harvester, hand tractor, thresher, pumps & engines at four-wheel tractor  sa labing-apat na organisasyon ng agricultural farmers mula sa 4th District,” she stressed at the Pangasinan Research and Experiment Center  of the Department of Agriculture (DA) here.
The lady solon said the millions of pesos for the machinery came from the allocation of the national government through her intercession to buttress the stocks of the farmers.
“Hindi ninyo naitatanong, nang manungkulan ang ating Pangulong  Benigno Aquino III,  ang average age ng ating magsasaka ay 57 years old.  At sa kagustuhan ng pamahalaan na maakit ang mga kabataan na bumalik sa pagsasaka, ay inilunsad ang proyektong ito at nang sa gayon ay maging mas maginhawa at mas lumaki ang kanilang  kita mula sa pagtatanim ng palay at gulay.  At sa ngayon,  ayon sa survey ng Philippine Statistics Authority noong isang taon, ang average age ng magsasaka natin ay 43 years old na,” she stressed.
The almost P1.4 million combine-harvester made by
Ford -Philippines.

De Venecia said farmers should laud President Aquino III and DA Secretary Proceso Alcala for the success of their programs in reinvigorating the agricultural sector.

 The solon said that she is hell bent in Congress to continue filing and deliberating bills that give more funds for more irrigation and the distribution of farm machineries.
 De Venecia said she authored too House Bill 2074 or the Crop Insurance Law that would give more benefits to farmers.

“Ito ay para mabigyan ng proteksiyon ang inyong puhunan bilang magsasaka,  laban sa pagka-lugi, sakaling ang inyong tanim na palay, mais, tabako at gulay ay masira ng kalamidad, gaya ng bagyo, baha at lindol. Hindi naman kaila sa lahat na nagbabago na ang panahon.  Alam din natin, na ang ating distrito ay laging dinadalaw  ng bagyo at baha.  Kaya, napaka-halaga po ng bill na ito, para hindi na kayo  mawalan ng puhunan sakaling masira ng bagyo ang inyong kabuhayan dahil sa kalamidad”.
Threshers


Included in the proposed law, she continued, are the inland fisheries, animal husbandry like poultry, swine, and cattle production.
De Venecia said that she lauded the Aquino Administration “Tuwid na Daan (Straight Path)” slogan where monies in the government have been seen flowing directly to the people in the form of the machinery she witnessed being distributed here by the D.A

“Marahil, ito na ang isa magagandang bunga ng pamamahala ayon sa tuwid na daan, kung saan ang salapi ng bayan ay hindi nalulustay at sa halip ay napapakinabangan ng mga kababayan nating nangangailangan”.
