Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando led the graduation of 125 goat farmers from the province’s Farmer Livestock School Goat Entrepreneurship Management.
Fernando also encouraged the goat farmers, who each received a goat from the Animal Distribution Program, to apply what they’ve learned in their 25-week training and use the goat as a stepping stone to help them start their own goat-raising ventures.
“Gamitin ninyo itong bigay sa inyo ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan.”
“Gamitin ninyo itong bigay sa inyo ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan. Gusto namin na matulungan kayo at mabigyan ng pagkakataon ang mga Bulakenyo na magkaroon ng ibang pangkabuhayan,” the governor said.
Meanwhile, Provincial Veterinary Office Head Dr. Voltaire Basinang assured the farmers of their office’s continuous support to them.
“Huwag kayong mag-alala, hindi porke’t graduate na kayo, pababayaan na namin kayo.”
“Huwag kayong mag-alala, hindi porke’t graduate na kayo, pababayaan na namin kayo,” Basinang said.
“Ang aming tanggapan ay laging nandito, kaagapay ninyo. Iyan ang bilin sa amin ng ating Punong Lalawigan. Hindi lamang kayo turuan, pero talagang gabayan kayo hanggang maging successful kayong lahat,” he added.
On the same day, a total of 192 cats and 32 dogs benefited from the free castration and spaying services of the Veterinary Medical Mission organized by the Provincial Government of Bulacan through the Provincial Veterinary Office as part of the annual Singkaban Festival.
Leonardo Calayag from Brgy. Mojon, City of Malolos, who brought his pet dog to be neutered, thanked the PGB for the initiative, which is a big help for pet owners like him.
“Malaking tulong ito upang hindi dumami ang aming alagang aso, mahirap din bumili ng pagkain kapag maraming alaga. Maraming matutulungan ito lalo ‘yung mga hindi kayang magbayad ng pagpapakapon, at iba pang klase ng vaccine para sa aming alagang hayop,” Calayag said.
