The Department of Finance approved the funding of two projects worth P35 million in Bicol and upland communities in Ifugao.
Both projects were signed with the Italian Embassy.
The Bicol project will target small fisher beneficiaries on selected coastal barangays in Burias Pass, Albay, Sorsogon and Masbate, while the Ifugao project seeks to reforest at least 405 hectares of land through an agro-forestry plan.
