Twelve out of 13 candidates from the 2011 batch of Young Filipino Farmers Training Program (YFFTPJ) flew to Japan last May 10 to attend the 11-month ASEAN Young Farm Leaders Training Program.
The trainees have completed the 85-day Pre-Departure Orientation Course (PDOC) from January – April 2011.
The PDOC enables the trainees to learn and speak Nihongo and also enhance their technical skills and expose them in modern technologies like swine, cattle and vegetable production.
This year’s group of trainees includes: Jonard Binoloc Manzano (Tabuk City, Kalinga); Jonathan Sony Cabarrabang Domingo (Solsona, Ilocos Norte); Efraim Dangwas Tomilas (Dupax del Norte, Nueva Vizcaya); Alexander Cipres Paulo (San Antonio, Zambales); Remigio Terrena Villamayor, Jr. (Calamba City, Laguna); Limuel Ganibo Mendoza (Pinamalayan, Mindoro Oriental ); Jay Vega Caro (Mambungalon, Mercedes, Camarines Norte); Johnny Lopez Casiple (San Carlos City, Negros Occidental); Ryan Jasper Galvan Solinap (Canlaon City, Negros Oriental); Ryan Beronguez Sechico (Diplahan, Zamboanga Sibugay): Andres Bartolome Okinlay Paluga III (Poblacion Impasu-ong, Bukidnon); Junny Deimos Aliñabo ( Marilog District, Davao City); and Al Somicio Polinar ( San Francisico, Agusan del Sur.)
Before their trip, families of the trainees were assured that the latter are out of the danger posed by the radiation threat caused by the earthquake and tsunami devastation in Japan last March.
Like the batches before them, the group is expected to come back armed with new skills and technologies that will help them improve farming operations and raise their incomes.
