Torrijos, Marinduque – DSWD Field Office MIMAROPA through the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) holds partnership activity with the Department of Agriculture (DA) Agricultural Training Institute-Regional Training Center (ATI-RTC) MIMAROPA for an Orientation on Learning Site for Agriculture (LSA) Accreditation in Brgy. Tigwi, Torrijos, Marinduque last February 7, 2025.

The orientation was attended by twenty (20) participants from Farmville SLPA and Malibago SLPA aimed to prepare the associations by familiarizing them with the LSA accreditation process, qualification criteria, and available financial support once accredited. 

Further, the LSA of DA-ATI played a key role in enhancing the productivity and profitability of resource-rich but underdeveloped farming and fishing communities, including non-farming rural residents involved in agri-processing businesses, by maximizing their potential.

Jayson N. Erondo, Senior Agriculturist and Partnership and Accreditation Section (PAS) Chief of ATI, led the orientation while Kimberly P. Marquez, Community Affairs Officer (CAO) I and Livelihood Worker of the LGU of Torrijos, expressed full support for assisting the SLPAs and their goal to gain ATI accreditation.

Harmoniously, the Farmville SLP Association launched the blessing and opening of their “Integrated Farm Project” and was attended by PAS Chief Jayson N. Erondo and Project Evaluation Officer I and Supply Officer Manilyn M. Tejada of ATI, Project Development Officers Arjay A. Historilloo and Fatima Concepcion P. Pelaez of DSWD-SLP, and CAO Kimberly P. Marquez.

DA-ATI representatives provided technical assistance on farm planning and farming strategies that will improve their integrated farm.
