For a country blessed with plenty of rainfall during the wet season, low agricultural production is an incongruity.
In just a span of one week, Mr. Marcos led the ceremonial opening of the floodgates for the Jalaur River Multi-purpose Project Stage II in Calinog, Iloilo. The P20-billion project is seen to increase Western Visayas’ rice production by 160,000 metric tons, or 20 percent of the region’s annual rice requirement.
The project will benefit 7,000 farmers across 17 municipalities in Iloilo’s first to fifth districts. It will produce 86 million liters of water daily for commercial and industrial needs in Iloilo province and Iloilo City. The Sulvec SRIP includes a 32-meter dam, aperture structures, a diversion dam with a 1.60-kilometer distance downstream of the main dam and a network of canals with concrete lining totaling 43.20 kilometers, and around 334 terminal facilities.National Irrigation Administration administrator Eduardo Guillen said the project would offer sustainable irrigation to nearby villages.
