DA-PCC, conduit co-op unbox first ‘Dairy Box’ in Antique Dec 2021 Bubalus Daiory Box, Antique By Maria Antonette Andarza The first of its kind in Antique and the island of Panay, a delicatessen store called “Dairy Box” is now ready to offer dairy products produced by dairy buffalo farmers to Antiqueños. Antique Dairy Box This is after the turnover of said dairy facility by the DA-Philippine Carabao Center at West Visayas State University (DA-PCC at WVSU) to Hamtic Multi-Purpose Cooperative last October 8. Senator Cynthia A. Villar, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform sponsored the funding of this facility, which is a component of the Carabao-based Business Improvement Network (CBIN) project. “Kailangan nating palakasin ang milk production sa probinsya ng Antique at bayan ng Hamtic, para ang kanilang mga magsasaka na miyembro ng Hamtic Multi-Purpose Cooperative ay magkaroon ng dagdag kita sa pamamagitan ng gatas ng kalabaw na pwedeng isama sa milk feeding program ng DepEd at DSWD. Mahalaga na patuloy nating mapalago ang dairy industry ng Pilipinas,” Senator Villar said. On behalf of Hamtic MPC, as its former chairperson, Pedro N. Javier Jr. said in his response: “I am very thankful not only for this occasion, but to the future of the cooperative because it gave way to the realization of my dream, for the co-op to go for integrated agricultural productivity and development as a way to diversify its business operations.” “This effort is an initiative to strengthen dairy development in Antique especially in its Southern part. What we aim is to help Antique engage in a sustainable local production of buffalo’s milk,” Arn D. Granada, center director of DA-PCC at WVSU, said in his closing remarks. The ceremonies, held at the New Public Market and Terminal of Hamtic in Hamtic, Antique where the Dairy Box is located, were led by Center Director Granada, Hamtic MPC Manager Sonny Dolendo, Hamtic MPC Chairperson Febes Abapo, representatives of Mayor Julius Pacificador, Gov. Rhodora Cadiao, and Cong. Loren Legarda.
