Department of Agriculture 2011 Year-end Report
Republic of the Philippines
Achievements
1. The most significant achievement of the Department of Agriculture this year was restoring the trust of the farmers and other agriculture stakeholders in government. I took over a department that was scandal ridden and listed among the most corrupt agencies of government.[1] The DA is no longer in that list.[2] Knowing the ground situation by listening was an important first step. I visited all the 16 regions of the country – reaching 58 out of 80 provinces. I met with farmers and other local groups, the DA people, the local government officials, investors in agriculture and all those who believe that agriculture holds the key to our country’s progress. To them we delivered the message that we in government will do our part, but will work in partnership with them.
