President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. led the turnover of excavators worth P776 million. During the event, he emphatically urged the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) to harness the full potential of these state-of-the-art machines.

The primary goal is to assist Filipino farmers in enhancing their yield and income, a crucial measure given the impending threat of an El Niño phenomenon expected next year.

The President underscored the importance of proactive measures to mitigate the potential impact on agriculture and ensure food security in the nation.
