TASK GROUP FORMED TO HANDLE
EASY ACCESS CREDIT PROGRAM
A Task Group has been formally formed to handle the implementation of the Production Loan Easy Access (PLEA) Program of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.
The loaning program will be pilot-tested in two towns with contrasting poverty status - Malimono, Surigao del Norte, a fishing town with a 90% poverty incidence and Bongabon, Nueva Ecija, a relatively progressive town which is considered as the Onion capital of the Philippines.
Heading the Task Group is Executive Director Jocelyn Badiola of the Agriculture Credit Policy Council (ACPC) with Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation President Jovy Bernabe and Information, Communications Technonology Service Chief Clint Hassan as members.
