“BAGSAKAN in SAN ROQUE, BAUAN, AG&P IN AGRILIFE”

LEO RAMOS SALCEDO – Speech

“Sa halagang isang daang piso, maitatawid ‘MO’ ba sa gutom ang pamilya may limang katao bukas?”

Engineer Abelardo R. Bragas, RTD – Operations of the Department of Agriculture, RFU 4A, Mr. Francisco Ramos III, Director of Department of Agriuculture for Agri-Business & Marketing Assistant Services, ASEC Dennis B. Araullo, OIC Regional Executive Director DA-RFU 4A, Honorable Ryanh M. Dolor, Municipal Mayor of Bauan, Mr. Marcial P. Morales Jr., Vice President for Finance and Administration of AG&P, Vice-President for Operations Roberto S. Paglinawan-AG&P, distinguished guest, ladies and Gentlemen, Mga kababayan ko sa San Roque.

What have you to offer the municipality of Bauan? (look at residents of San Roque)
Why is Barangay San Roque so privileged that such figure of high echelons be my audience today, this hour, this MOMENT? (look at the guests)

“Hi-land and lowland vegetables, live backyard tilapia, fresh and frozen meat products, ready-to-cook menu meals, Milk and Rice re-packs, locally processed foods, barangay handi-crafts and the like” are apparent products Barangay San Roque and our neighboring barangays will offer the common “TAO” and the buying public after the inauguration today. They will be hauled at this very ground and sold at these arduous 'bagsakan'. Families from all over will rush to buy and trade with us.

It is part of the Department of Agriculture’s “Hunger Mitigation Program” to provide facilities where farmers could bring their produce together and sell them on retail or wholesale basis. Make available and accessible quality food products such as meat, poultry, fish, fruits and vegetables at affordable prices with priority to the marginalized sector of the society. Our Barangay Bagsakan can also serve as a link for farmers to sell their product to major market outlets, providing livelihood for itinerant vendors, as well as Bauan constituents’ convenient trading. We aim to buy the products from the farmers at a higher price and because we are directly buying from farmers we can also sell the merchandise to consumers at a lower price than the prevailing market value.

This is practically how Marcial P. Morales Jr., Roberto S. Paglinawan and I envisioned public assistance and livelihood support utilizing AG&P resources and our joint skills to a unique program encouraging self-help in our host communities.

The Department of Agriculture, through ASEC Dennis Araullo, Mr. Abelardo Bragas and Director Francisco Ramos III were generous enough to enroll Barangay San Roque in this ‘BB loan’ program where the able producers may congregate at the Barangay-based food depot and distribution system offering affordable, safe and quality food products like meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and fruits, directly linking farmers and fisher folk producers to the consumers and encouraging community participation in a reliable food distribution system. The non-interest bearing loan is payable in three years.

We are developing an alternative market today to create employment opportunities through its livelihood components, to later establish satellite outlets, rolling stores and establishment of food packaging and processing center; andto strengthen the partnership of the different stakeholders in the delivery of basic services at the barangay level. In return, we shall expect Increase in the revenue of agri-fishery producers, provide safe, nutritious and affordable food, create employment opportunities through food repacking and processing then generate income for the barangay San Roque LGU Barangay Bagsakan Fund.

The principles of Self-reliance and strengthening of ‘cooperative livelihood programs’ are complex idealisms my office will uphold for a number of years before my term expires. Without the help of these gentlemen today (point at the guests/look at you kabarangays), our dreams wouldn’t come into a reality.

I post a challenge to you all to support me in this humble campaign. Bring your goods here, buy your consumables and food here. Come and trade on these Bagsakan then promote “KASIPAGAN” and “KAPATIRAN” all over. By the end of the day you may be amazed by the accomplishments we both achieved though Bagsakan sa San Roque.

“Sa halagang isang daang piso, maitatawid ‘MO NA” sa gutom ang pamilya may limang katao bukas?”

Salamat po at Magandang umaga!

AG&P & ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

REMARKS SPEECH:
for Leo Ramos Salcedo – Barangay Captain – San Roque, Bauan, Batangas

Inspired by messages maintaining rational and orderly balance between economic growth and environmental protection through sustainable use, by our distinguished AM speakers, PENR Officer for Batangas Province Mr. Maximo F. Soriano Jr and Regional Director, EMB CALABARZON RD Allan L. Leuterio, then followed by the presentation of the MOA by Ms. Luisa M. Garcia OIC to the EMB Batangas, The overview of Philippine policies and updates to Environmental protection and AG&P’s compliance center on how we can be part of ensuring the environmental considerations incorporated to our system the earliest possible stage starting from this activity. Thanks to Mr. Robert A.M. Melin, of EIAMD, Engr. Ignacia A. Balicas, OIC EIA PMS and Marcelina P. Padullo, also EMB, we have been enlightened.

Our guests maintain that the simplest indifference to bionetworks and ecology affects Air, Water, and land through toxic and hazardous wastes and must be managed correctly. “Pollution is a problem!” as Engr Edwin C. Concepcion OIC to Pollution Control Division, EMB and Mr. Willy Billiones OIC to Water Quality Management Section, EMB Calabarzon and Engineer Lilibeth C. Cordolita, OIC Chemicals and Hazardous wastes Management Section conveyed.

Ø Pause and look at the audience…..

Names of people, achievements, qualifications and their HUMBLEST intentions, here and now we convene.
Ø While pointing at our guests….

Ladies and Gentlemen, (pause……)
AG&P has been with San Roque practically, its entire industrial life. We are not under and covered by the Magna Carta for countryside and Barangay Business Enterprises (CBBE) otherwise known as Republic Act No. 6810 also called “KALAKALAN 20”. In fact San Roque is center to the critical areas cited in ACA where ECP’s or projects within Environment Critical Areas are frequently monitored. Natural environment is also our concern.

As we develop within our small community programs to maintain serenity, peace and orderliness, as well as, cleanliness and productivity, resourcefulness and cooperation become our tools to protect the environment we live on.

AG&P has been partner to these. Just last September we cleared to cleanse the 1.5 kilometer Tabok River of rub-garbage and waste now seen to be the model park, with all its play ground fixtures, of the municipality of Bauan.

It was followed by the Coastal cleaning of some 3 kilometer shorelines of San Roque and brgy. San Andres on November 2008.

Tree planting was a year round activity to protect our Barangay from the adverse effects of commerce around us, natural calamities and works of deity.

Waste disposal “MRF” was established among others to segregate biodegradable-to-degradable-to-toxic materials then disposed of, far from our neighborhood. Barangay Sinala, our local “Payatas”, 5 kilometers north from here, is being considered as the number one (#1) health and environmental hazard of Bauan and we are working 24/7 to resolve this predicament through the Sanggunian Bayan which is being braced by no other than our municipal Mayor, Hon. Ryanh M. Dolor, himself.

Organic Vegetable farming, was conceptualized both by AG&P and our internal committees to give sustainable livelihood to my constituents, now harvesting 130 kilos of various crops enough to support our community, as well as. other Barangay communities, not to mention families who used to spend their leisure time doing nothing, in all humility, used to be called “TAMBAYs”.

We intend to open the very first Talipapa, bagsakan palengke-Market just behind the east corner of AG&P through the charity of AG&P foundation and AG&P Cooperative.

Our “oplan linis ko paligid ko”, and the like, are continuing projects in support of the country’s drive to cleanliness, as well as, to alleviate poverty, corruption and unemployment.

I hope that we may, in our simple ways, find means to contribute to AG&P’s commitment to preserve and protect the environment. complying with the company’s Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) and Environment Management Plan (EMP).

The day is far from over. This is just the beginning of our WATCH! Let us take turns to keep the fire of enthusiasm burning in our souls.

The more we work to the promotion of preservation and environmental protection, the more lives we save each hour we spend contributing.

My role is to see to it that my Barangay does its part in serving and cooperating with AG&P, the country’s drive and DENR.

I am inspired by our speaker’s dedication to all these. I will my part of MMT! Thank you!
