JAEN, Nueva Ecija - The Department of Agriculture (DA) distributed 1,000 bags of granular fertilizers to farmers in this town even as the Buhay Party list released multi-cabs to 18 barangays here over the weekend.
Mayor Santy Austria said the fertilizers that were coursed through the DA was the realization of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's promise during her visit in this town last September.
Nueva Ecija Rep. Rodolfo Antonino, 4th district, said the distribution has no connection with the controversial P728-million liquid fertilizer program that was reported to be scam. "nakasako ito," Antonino said.
Antonino and Austria, along with other local government officials, led the distribution. They also assisted Buhay Party List Rep. Carissa Concoslluela in the distribution of the multi-cabs to 18 barangays here.
The party list solon, according to Antonino, also handed down to Austria another piece of grant worth P1.5 million. -30-
