QUEZON CITY -- Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya – The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) in the province of Nueva Vizcaya recently turned over a total of Php 120,000.00 worth of Community-Managed Potable Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (CP-WASH) project to provide clean water, adequate and potable sanitation services to the processing center of the 200 agrarian reform beneficiary (ARB) members of the Casat Rural Workers Association Inc. (CRUWAI).

Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officer (PARPO) II Saturnino B. Bello said the CP-WASH is composed of an iron removal filter, water collector, and bio-sand filter.

"Mabuhay ang CRUWAI, mabuhay and Barangay Casat! Your organization is lucky to be the recipient of the CPWASH project. It's not the amount that matters but the benefit that it can bring to the communities especially to our agrarian reform beneficiaries and to the residents of the barangay," Bello said.
