 | | Last month, OB awarded livelihood grants to farmers in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat and Sipocot, Camarines Sur. |
 | | In Columbio where farmers have been suffering from drought and rat infestation, OB granted around six families of a farming association with a working animal (carabao) and other farm implements such as plough, yoke, rake, blade, sprayer, fertilizer, pesticide, rope and a sack of seedlings. |
 | | Tara, Sipocot, Camarines Sur, two cauldrons ("kawa") were granted to 40 families who will be using the cauldrons to process sugarcane into molasses and the local "panutsa." This is so the farmers have an alternative livelihood when not farming. |
