Iloilo Representative Janette Garin on Monday, Sept. 27 questioned the P1-billion worth of funds proposed by the Department of Agriculture supposedly for the government’s solar panel irrigation system project, saying she finds the program “untimely” and “impractical” at this point in time.

“Of course that is our dream. But we want to have a solar panel irrigation system which might even be more expensive than the communal irrigation system,” she pointed out. “Why spend P1.2-billion for a new project, which I would look at as a dream, and rather than a need? Because in this time of a pandemic, our farmers need more support especially if we’re talking about food sufficiency,” she pointed out.

Rep. Teodorico Haresco Jr., who is defending the DA’s proposed budget for next year, said the agency aims to comply with the advocacies of the World Bank and Green Energy against climate change. Haresco also pointed out the use of SPIS would be cost-efficient.
