IN what can be described as a move to significantly reduce poverty in the countryside, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved additional funding for the massive coconut planting/replanting and fertilization program of the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) for 2025.

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said the additional funding of P1 billion would be used to implement the Philippine Coconut Industry Development Plan (PCIDP) 2024 to 2034.
