The Department of Agriculture Region IV-CALABARZON extended animal interventions and inputs among selected livestock farmers of Lipa City, Batangas on June 3, 2020.

Dimaculangan, in coordination with the local government of Lipa City, facilitated the turnover of livelihood assistance package, benefitting a total of 100 farmer-recipients of the municipality.
