RBAP officials with DA Secretary Alcala
RBAP officials led by President Ian Eric S. Pama and Executive Director Vicente Mendoza recently held a meeting with Secretary Proceso J. Alcala and Undersecretary Fleta of the Department of Agriculture to discuss measures on how the DA’s office can effectively support and strengthen its’ partnership with the rural banking industry. The two parties later agreed to create a technical working group that will study measures on how rural banks, through the help of DA, can further enhance their services.
Aside from President Pama and Exec. Director Mendoza, other members of the RBAP delegation who went to the DA’s office in Quezon City were Reginald Ocampo, Rene Sayo, Daniel Arcenas, Antonio Pasia and Atty. Edward Leandro Garcia.
Yes this development is very encouraging since Rural Banks are really mandated to assist the countryside. Let us therefore go to basic to promote countryside development and eventually increase the income of our farmers who compose nearly 80 % of our population
We appreciate your positive comment Sir. Admin.
