00:00Farmers affected by Hurricane Christine will receive insurance and a loan program prepared by the government.

00:08This is the national news of Kate Pilotin of Radyo Pilipinas.

00:14Agriculture is one of the sectors that is severely affected by Hurricane Christine.

00:19It is estimated that more than P3 billion was lost from its obvious income.

00:24But aside from farming, the livelihood of farmers is also affected.

00:29According to the Department of Agriculture, 74,554 farmers in the Philippines are affected.

00:37That is why the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation or PCIC is now eager to pay the farmers affected by the hurricane.

00:45According to the PCIC's computation, each farmer will receive P20,000 if they have their own farm

00:53while those receiving loans or without their own income will receive P68,000 to P78,000.

01:01According to Melba Manalo, Vice President for Corporate Business Affairs Group of PCIC,

01:07beneficiaries will receive their payment within 20 days.

01:12The standing order is 20 working days or the time that we are following so that we can fulfill the payment to our beneficiaries.

01:26We are trying to expedite our payment to the Philippines, especially since there are so many now.

01:39Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture passed under the Agricultural Credit Policy Council or ACPC a loan of P500 million.

01:48Under the Survival and Recovery or Sure Loan Program,

01:52a farmer may be able to borrow P25,000 or P25,000 that can be paid within three years of no interest.

02:03According to ACPC Spokesperson Emmalyn Guinto,

02:07this is a move by the government to help farmers start their livelihood again.

02:13Our intention here is to provide immediate relief so that they can start and recover and start their farming and fishing.

02:28The two agencies are urging their farmers to be insured so that they can be assured that they will be able to survive during the typhoon.

02:36From PBS Radyo Pilipinas News, Kate Pilutin, for Balitang Pambansang.
