DAR chief swears in 126 Bicol personnel to serve farmers
In its effort to strengthen the implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program, a total of 126 newly appointed and promoted employees of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in the Bicol region took an oath before Secretary Bernie F. Cruz in a ceremony held on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, at Marison Hotel Legaspi.
Cruz said the personnel was carefully selected to serve the farmers and help the DAR in bringing social justice to the countryside.
“The farmers would receive the justice they deserve by awarding landless farmers with lands to till, providing them with support services projects to enrich their lands and resolve agrarian legal issues and conflict. May we become the instruments of farmers’ triumph that would pave way for the country’s stronger agricultural sector,” he said.
Cruz reminded the personnel that effective public service does not come from education but through heart and dedication.
DAR Bicol Regional Director Rodrigo Realubit supported the Secretary's assertion and added that let their service be their legacy to the farmers.
