During the visit, she also held a meeting with DA-ARES Center Chief Mr. Bing Sultan and Agricultural Program Coordinating Officer Mr. Rey Domingo to discuss the possibility of securing an additional area for the budwood garden, as well as her intention to build a multi-purpose building to facilitate future meetings, training, and other activities.
Director Eusala’s dream of achieving “Goma-gaang Buhay” for the entire rubber farming community is slowly coming to fruition. The seeds of this vision are being sown day by day, and soon they will sprout in ways we may not even anticipate.
