NPC’s TWAT conducts livestock dispersal program
In its pursuit to improve the lives of the people within the community it serves, NPC through its Tiwi Watershed Area Team (TWAT) has conducted livestock dispersal program which benefited 197 recipients in the Municipalities of Tiwi and Malinao in Albay.
The livestock dispersal program aims to give alternative livelihood to its beneficiaries and prevent them from engaging in activities that can be harmful to the watershed. The program does not stop in the grant of the swine, TWAT makes sure that the beneficiaries apply their trainings on swine management.
Under the program, beneficiaries are given a pair of swine which they would grow and take care until it produced offspring. The beneficiary will then give two offspring to other qualified beneficiaries of the program which makes the program sustainable as well.
Beneficiaries included indigenous people from the Agta-Tabangnon tribe.
