Batanes gov appeals to public: Buy our garlic

By Gabriela Baron

Batanes Governor Marilou Cayco on Thursday, Sept. 8, appealed to the public to buy their garlic in the province, citing oversupply issues.

Cayco said around 20 tons of garlic are available in the province.

She added the Department of Agriculture in Region 2 brought less garlic from farmers this year, so the provincial government bought them instead.

“Nung ako’y na-interview tungkol sa [Typhoon] Henry, sinamantala ko na ang panawagan doon sa mga gustong bumili ng bawang,” Cayco said in the Laging Handa briefing.

“Naawa ako dun sa mga farmer at baka ma-discourage po silang magtanim kung hindi mabili ang kanilang produkto,” she added.

Cayco they are already preparing to send out garlic orders to Metro Manila, Isabela, Tuguegarao City, and the Ilocos Region.
