00:00The National Anti-Poverty Commission's Action Against Poverty

00:02became the 2025 season 2.

00:05We'll be with you every Tuesday and Thursday

00:08on Rise and Shine Pilipinas,

00:10the various fun activities of government agencies and governments

00:14to talk about the government's interventions

00:17on opening up to poverty.

00:19♪

00:28In our new season, we'll focus on convergence,

00:32which is the collaboration and cooperation

00:35of programs and stakeholders

00:36in the continued revitalization of communities and communities.

00:40We'll talk about this today on our program

00:44with Assistant Secretary James Layug,

00:46Assistant Secretary for the Implementation of EO70 Series of 2018

00:50and National Task Force for West Philippine Sea

00:52in the Department of Agriculture

00:54to discuss how government agencies and partners

00:57are converging on opening up barangays and communities

01:01and promoting peace towards prosperity.

01:05Good day to you, Mr. Layug.

01:07Good day to you, too.

01:08All right.

01:09Let's talk about the anti-poverty efforts of the DA,

01:13particularly the programs you're holding.

01:15Tell us more about these programs.

01:17Yes, ma'am.

01:17I'm the head of the Poverty Reduction Livelihood Employment Cluster of the NTF-ELCA.

01:24The Department of Agriculture is the chair now.

01:28Our interventions for the poor

01:32are to help the poor

01:37in what we call geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas in our country.

01:44Those affected by the conflict, the conflict-affected areas.

01:48The former guerrilla fronts were cleared by the security forces.

01:55Now, we're here to bring about sustainable development,

02:00peace and sustainable development.

02:02Speaking about convergence, Mr. Layug,

02:05who are the government agencies

02:08that you support in these programs and initiatives?

02:11Within the Department of Agriculture,

02:14we work together to converge different agencies and bureaus.

02:19And then from the department,

02:22we also partner and collaborate

02:24to converge programs with other agencies

02:26like TESDA, DTI, DOST, DOLE, DSWD.

02:32We help the target barangays.

02:37When it comes to providing a source of livelihood for our countrymen,

02:42especially the former guerrilla fronts that you mentioned,

02:46what are the livelihood programs that we provide to them?

02:50We do different programs and interventions.

02:54But for DA, the programs and interventions

02:58to have a high production of agriculture,

03:05we have rice, corn, livestock, and aquaculture.

03:10Those are the programs that we introduce.

03:13TESDA also helps in training and capacity building.

03:18DTI also helps in value-adding

03:23and helps in market linkage

03:26where the products are marketed.

03:29So, there's training and also a source of livelihood

03:35for them.

03:36It's great that you help different government agencies.

03:40And it's important that they have a high yield and production

03:44because it follows that their income will increase.

03:46Now, you have a concept called Peace Farms.

03:49So, tell us more about that.

03:50Peace Farms is a concept of communal farming

03:54that we're trying to introduce in conflict-affected areas.

04:00Farm workers help different sectors and stakeholders

04:06to sustain peace and development.

04:10So, the farm workers here are the former rebels

04:15and then the CAFGU.

04:17They are also part of the community.

04:20The place or area that they farm

04:24is sometimes a military reservation

04:28and sometimes a private sector.

04:30Even the church is also helping out.

04:32And then, the technical aspect

04:36and the farm inputs are from the DA.

04:39The training is from TESDA and other agencies.

04:44That's a great concept.

04:46And also, this is a platform for the former rebels

04:49to really reintegrate in society.

04:51Yes, that's also our concept.

04:54It's also a halfway house.

04:57For mainstreaming, more than integration,

05:01it's to bring back to the mainstream

05:04the former comrades that came from the other side.

05:10Well, talking about peace and poverty,

05:13how do these two concepts work?

05:17So that we can ensure that their livelihood is sustainable

05:24and reduce the incidence of poverty.

05:27Yes, because the important thing is

05:29hand-in-hand, chicken and egg.

05:31Peace or development.

05:33So, I think they are together.

05:35Without peace, there is no progress.

05:38So, we have to invest on peace.

05:41That's why we need to add,

05:43as we said, the GIDA barangays.

05:45The farthest, the poorest, and the smallest barangay.

05:48That's where the government should invest.

05:52That's where the state should bring programs

05:56for development.

06:00At the end of the day,

06:02there will be sustainable peace and development.

06:05Right.

06:06To our farmers,

06:08as a Department of Agriculture,

06:10what is our monitoring

06:12when it comes to poverty incidence

06:14in this sector?

06:16And what are the challenges

06:18that you are facing and fighting

06:21to help our farmers, sir?

06:23The latest data from the PSA

06:25shows that there is around 27%

06:27of poverty incidence

06:29in the agri-fishery sector.

06:33Which is translated into

06:35around 2.1 million farmers

06:37and fisherfolks.

06:39So, with that,

06:41there are a lot of programs

06:43that the DA is working on

06:45to help raise

06:47the standard of living

06:49in the agri-fishery sector.

06:51That's why we have programs

06:53like the Special Area

06:55for Agricultural Development

06:57where it helps

06:59the lowest,

07:01poorest barangays.

07:03There is also

07:05the 4K program

07:07for our fellow countrymen

07:09and continuous interventions

07:11to raise

07:13our production.

07:15Because when

07:18our President assumed

07:20as the Secretary of the Department

07:22of Agriculture,

07:24his marching orders are two things.

07:26First, he said to raise production

07:28so that our fellow countrymen

07:30can have enough food.

07:32Second, to help

07:34our poorest countrymen

07:36in rural areas.

07:38Now, the convergence,

07:40how important is it

07:42that agencies under DA

07:44and even outside DA

07:46particularly in the agri-fishery sector?

07:48It's a big thing

07:50because we can see

07:52in the convergence

07:54the so-called whole-of-government

07:56approach,

07:58whole-of-nation participation,

08:00and good governance.

08:02If these are combined,

08:04we can overcome poverty.

08:06What can local government

08:08units do

08:10to help and be a partner

08:12of DA to help the sector of agriculture?

08:15Actually, we are already partners.

08:17What we are doing here

08:19is to strengthen

08:21the existing institutions

08:23of our local government,

08:25especially on the barangay level.

08:27That's what we are capacitating

08:29because we believe that

08:31development starts in the community.

08:33Alright, well, we are happy

08:35that you are with us

08:37today so that

08:39we can convey the message

08:41of the programs of the Department of Agriculture

08:44to fight poverty

08:46in our country,

08:48particularly the challenges

08:50that our farmers are facing.

08:52So, Asek Layug, join me

08:54and let's fight poverty

08:56together.

08:58Thank you very much

09:00again, Assistant Secretary Layug.
