Under the leadership of Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo Jr., the province of South Cotabato affirms its readiness for the potential impacts of El Niño, ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to address the challenges posed by this weather phenomenon.
Governor Tamayo underscored the province's preparedness, highlighting the availability of necessary facilities and funds to mitigate potential damages that may arise during this period of intense heat. The provincial government remains committed to safeguarding the welfare of its residents amidst the challenges brought about by El Niño.
Furthermore, Governor Tamayo emphasized the continued maintenance of water impounding areas and irrigation systems, particularly those servicing areas cultivated with high-value crops. This proactive approach ensures that essential agricultural activities remain sustained, contributing to the province's food security and economic stability.
