This is about my participation as one of the presenters representing the DA-Special Area for Agricultural Development Program for the "Rebuilding agricultural livelihood affected by multiple cyclones in Cagayan province (Rebuild Cagayan) Project. The Cagayan Province, the Department of Agriculture and other stakeholders are collaborators/partners of the UN-FAO in the implementation of the said project. This project is funded by Government of Australia (Australia in the Philippines).
