New city exec vows to continue past admins agriculture program

CAUAYAN CITY, Isabela (PIA)  - -  The new local chief executive of this city expressed his desire to continue the past city administration’s agriculture programs and projects to help in the food security agenda of the country.

The Department of Agriculture has forecasted that a looming food crisis would happen in the two quarters of the year thereby necessary measures must be in place to curb its effects.

Mayor Caesar S. Dy Jr. made the assurance just after he took his oath of office before Gov. Rodolfo Albano III last June 29, 2022 at Isabela Convention Center in Cauayan City.

Dy was a former sectoral representative for agriculture in the City Council before he ran as mayor.

“Instead of being a plantito or plantita, I would like to recommend planting vegetables as one of my priority programs to at least help sustain the food in the table of Cauayenos,” Dy said.

He said that when he was the agriculture sectoral representative of the council, he pushed for backyard gardening even before and during the height of the pandemic and he want to strengthen the said program now that he is the local chief executive.

With his advocacy being the agriculture representative before in the council, Dy was conferred as Councilor of the Year by the Nation Builders and Mosaic Awards 2022 in relation to his staunch advocacy in agriculture that benefited the local farmers and families of Cauayan.
