“For the greater number of Aklanons especially the agrarian reform beneficiaries who have benefited from the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program through its physical infrastructure projects worth over One Hundred Ten Million pesos in Aklan, I am 110% endorsing the call for CARP extension beyond 2008.” These were the pronouncement of Representative Florencio T. Miraflores, Lone District of Aklan in his regular radio program over station RGMA DYRU. He publicly lauded the performance of the Department of Agrarian Reform in Aklan and the support it had extended to Aklan so far. Congressman Miraflores believes that more than any government agency and program, the DAR and CARP was able to bring meaningful changes into the lives of Aklanons. He enumerated the laudable infra projects such as roads, bridges and irrigation at the municipalities of Altavas, Ibajay, Madalag, Makato and Malinao. Also, projects under the regular CARP funds were availed by the municipality of Batan. He added that he was informed by Undersecretary Kashmir Leyretana of DAR Central Office of the forthcoming projects for Aklan from Agrarian Reform Infrastructure Support Project 3 (ARISP 3) funded under Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC).
Congressman Miraflores underscored DAR-Aklan’s sterling performance in the promotion of CARP. Through the untiring efforts of Atty. Daniel Y. Martelino, PARO II and his effective networking and partnership with foreign funding agencies, Aklan was able to avail of the much needed support projects to increase productivity and improve the capacity of Aklanon farmers.
