Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. and Bureau of Plant Industry (DA-BPI) Director Gerald Glenn Panganiban interact with beneficiaries of the KADIWA ng Pangulo program at the BPI compound in Malate, Manila, on Nov. 4, 2026.

The DA-BPI and state-run Food Terminal Inc. (FTI) signed a Memorandum of Agreement to establish a large-scale food consolidation and distribution facility in Tiaong, Quezon, to help farmers find markets for their produce.

The planned Tiaong Mega Food Hub is seen to provide shared facilities for production, post-harvest handling, storage, packaging, and marketing of the produce of farmers. Tiaong was chosen partly because of its access to expressways and its strategic position as a gateway to Southern Luzon.

The hub will also house government services, including research and development, quality systems, biosecurity, plant quarantine, and food safety facilities. Farmers will have access to demonstration farms where they can learn and adopt improved production technologies. (Video courtesy of Martin A. Sadongdong I MB)
