Marcos orders full implementation of Sagip Saka Act

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has ordered the full implementation of the Sagip Saka Act through Executive Order 101.

The EO mandates government agencies to directly purchase agricultural and fishery products from accredited farmers and fisherfolk cooperatives and enterprises (FFCEs).

The Sagip Saka Act, or Republic Act 11321, aims to increase the productivity and income of farmers and fisherfolk.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) urges local government units (LGUs) to support EO 101 by prioritizing the purchase of locally produced goods from FFCEs.

This initiative strengthens the government's commitment to uplift the lives of farmers and fisherfolk by promoting direct procurement from FFCEs.
