ITINALAGA ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang kanyang dating campaign spokesperson na si Peter Tiu Laviña bilang bagong administrator ng National Irrigation Administration (NIA), ayon kay Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel “Manny” Piñol.
“Laviña’s appointment as the new NIA head is a welcome relief for the Dept. of Agriculture especially since the agency, while officially under the Office of the President, is one of the most important agencies supporting Philippine agriculture,” sabi ni Piñol sa kanyang Facebook.
Idinagdag ni Piñol na mismong si Christopher “Bong” Go, special assistant to the President ang nagkumpirma sa kanya kaugnay ng pagkakatalaga kay Laviña.
“With Laviña at the helm of NIA, I expect a smoother coordination between the Department of Agriculture and the water agency of the government, especially in the area of the scheduling of the release of irrigation water for the rice farms which had been a problematic issue for so long,” dagdag ni Piñol.
Nauna nang itinalaga ang misis ni Laviña na si Evelyn bilang undersecretary ng Department of Agriculture (DA).
