00:00The Development Bank of the Philippines has offered support to those who are affected by these calamities.

00:06Clazel Pardilia with the report.

00:10More than P100 million Pesos worth of land was left in the agriculture sector

00:16by the following typhoons, Ferdie, Henner, and Helen.

00:20According to the Department of Agriculture,

00:221,600 hectares of rice, a high-value crop, were destroyed in Mimaropa, Western Visayas, and Zamboanga Peninsulas.

00:32In addition, 1,300 farmers were affected by the calamity.

00:37Our rice, corn, and vegetables were pre-possessed.

00:44Our farmers are now ready to plant again in these areas.

00:50Of course, our indemnification is under the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation.

00:56The DA assured the distribution of free rice, fat, and other uses for farming.

01:03The Development Bank of the Philippines assured support from the Agripuhunan and Pantawig Program of the agency.

01:11Under the program, farmers are given the opportunity

01:17to borrow up to two hectares of rice from Puhunan for farming.

01:22The first thing they do is go to the stores or distributors, or merchants,

01:29to get rice, fertilizer, and pesticides.

01:32When they start farming, they already have an interest and loan.

01:39They will pay 15 to 20 percent interest monthly.

01:44We are looking for a program that will really help them.

01:47With the help of the Agripuhunan and Pantawig Program,

01:51the DVP received an Interventions Monitoring Card with a credit limit of up to Php 60,000.

01:58Php 28,000 can be used to buy fat, pesticides, and other farm inputs from the DVP's accredited stores.

02:09Farmers receive Php 8,000 monthly for four months.

02:15Farmers usually produce up to five to seven tons of rice

02:20to ensure that their families can afford to buy enough rice whenever there is a calamity.

02:28Five tons of rice will be sold to the National Food Authority

02:33for less than Php 21 per kilo.

02:39Php 21 per kilo for five tons or Php 5,000.

02:44That is Php 105,000 per hectare.

02:48Let's reduce the credit we gave them to Php 60,000 per hectare.

02:54The difference is now Php 45,000.

02:57They can now earn that Php 45,000.

03:00The program advanced Php 8,000 per month for four months.

03:05That is Php 32,000.

03:06It's like you gave them an advance income.

03:09That is Php 77,000 net per hectare to our beloved farmers.

03:19If there are more rice,

03:21farmers will surely earn more.

03:24Only 2% of the annual interest will be collected by the DVP.

03:30The insurance will be provided to the farmers

03:32so that if there is a calamity,

03:34they don't have to worry about the farmers and pay for it.

03:37It is a game changer.

03:39It is a real help for our beloved farmers.

03:44The program raised Php 3 billion.

03:48At present, 50,000 farmers are the target to be benefited by the DVP.

03:53The program was first launched in Gimba, Nueva Ecija

03:57and expanded to Cordillera, Pangasinan, and other places in the Philippines.

04:03The DVP told us that only one Interventions Monitoring Card is prohibited

04:08and that the agency will conduct field monitoring.

04:12That is to ensure that the program is being used correctly.
