The challenges brought by the pandemic have paved the way for Senator Cynthia Villar to use social media platforms to connect and reach out to people in order to disseminate information and educate them on native animal production.
The Villar SIPAG led by Villar as director has partnered with the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) and the National Swine Poultry Research and Development Center (NSPRDC ) in the conduct of three- day webinars entitled “Katutubong Hayop, Pag-asa natin sa Pagbangon ngayong Pandemya.”
Despite the many barriers the country is facing due to the pandemic, the senator cited the need for people to be creative to find means to produce their own food.
Aside from urban gardening, the chairperson of the Senate committee on food and agriculture, encouraged the production of native animals like native pig, chicken and duck, among others.
Villar emphasized that native animal production can provide livelihood to our people while contributing to food sufficiency and stability.
“It is important to develop the industry of native animals to improve the income of local farmers at animal breeders and alleviate the their living conditions. This also reflects our culture and Filipino foods,” she said.
