DINALUPIHAN, Bataan: Third District Rep. Maria Angela Garcia urged farmers to plant more high-value vegetable crops using drip irrigation, an Israeli farm technology. On a field trip to three farms in Barangay Daan Bago and San Simon in Dinalupihan with ready-to-harvest tomatoes, onions and cucumbers, Garcia said that planting high-value vegetable crops with the employment of modern farm technology will result in more supply to the provincial food chain. Hearing the testimonial of some farmers of their good harvest, Garcia said she hoped that the excitement of farmers in Dinalupihan will encourage more farmers not only in her district and Bataan but for the rest of the remaining farmers in the Philippine countryside. Under her new congressional district are the towns of Dinalupihan, Mariveles, Bagac and Morong. She said that while still mayor of Dinalupihan, they have piloted 10 hectares of a farm in the last three years.
