The Provincial Local Government Unit of Nueva Vizcaya, in collaboration with Oceana Gold Philippines, Inc., have initiated the ‘Padanum ti Umili’ solar irrigation project. This endeavor, facilitated through a Memorandum of Agreement, aims to ensure a consistent water supply for corn and vegetable cultivation in lowland municipalities. With an initial funding of PHP 14 million from OGPI’s Provincial Development Fund, the project will commence in Solano, Quezon, and Villaverde. PHP 7 million will finance the Balacquit Solar Power Irrigation System in Villaverde, benefiting approximately 100 hectares of farmland, while Quezon will receive PHP 4.4 million for the LGU Demo Farm SPIS, irrigating a minimum of 150 hectares. PHP 3 million will be used for the Polloc SPIS in Solano’s Barangay Roxas, serving as a demonstration farm for the PLGU.
