Efforts to strengthen food security and agricultural development in Pampanga will get a much-needed boost as a food security complex being developed by the provincial government in Lubao town nears completion and is expected to open within the year.

Located in Barangay Sta. Catalina, Lubao, Pampanga, the facility, to be known as the Pampanga Food Security (Rice) Complex, aims to ensure that all people will have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for an active and healthy life at all times.

Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. conducted an inspection of the ongoing construction of the food facility on February 3, 2026 with by Pampanga Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda, Vice-Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, and Lubao Mayor Esmeralda Pineda.

The Provincial Government of Pampanga allocated more than PHP270 million for the project, covering site and road development and the construction of rice complex facilities.

At the same time, the Department of Agriculture provided PHP50 million to the provincial government for the procurement of machinery and equipment for the facility. As counterpart support, the Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech) supplied two rice mills and five circulating dryers.

PhilMech also extended further assistance by providing additional equipment, including six tractors, four harvesters, and four precision seeders which will significantly benefit Pampanga farmers once the food security complex is fully operational.

The installation of machinery and equipment at the facility is currently ongoing.

The Pampanga Food Security (Rice) Complex aims to eliminate middlemen in the rice supply chain, improve farmers’ income and their quality of life, and enhance rice production and overall food security in the province.

The development of the facility is aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s priority on food security by focusing on increasing local production, modernizing agriculture, and stabilizing food prices to curb inflation which are anchored the construction of post-harvest facilities such as rice processing centers, the strengthening of the value chain, and supporting the distribution of agricultural machinery.

The President’s Food Security program aims to eliminate hunger, reduce malnutrition, enhance agricultural sustainability, and build resilient food systems that can withstand crises. (PAMPANGA PIO)

Church-goers and devotees of the Holy Child visiting the replica of the Barasoain Church at Nayong Pilipino in the Clark Freeport Zone have much to be happy about after Hann Foundation, Inc. (HFI), the corporate social responsibility arm of luxury estate developer Hann Philippines Inc., signed an agreement to assist in the renovation and beautification of the chapel.

The memorandum of agreement (MOA), signed with the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) on January 18, coinciding with the Feast of the Sto. Niño, calls for the improvement of the church, known as the Chapel of the Holy Child, as part of HFI’s Cultural Heritage Pillar, one of the Four Core Pillars of the foundation’s corporate social responsibility guiding principles.

Under the agreement, HFI will allocate PHP2 million to donate 12 floor-mounted air-conditioning units to the chapel to improve the comfort for parishioners and visitors, particularly during the hot and humid months, while at the same time also helping preserve the chapel’s interior finish and liturgical furnishings.

Now under the management of CDC, ensuring the sustainability of the chapel has become a growing priority.

Talks are also underway to include other scopes of work under this partnership.

“Through this project, we are ensuring that the chapel will continue to serve as a sacred space for worship, reflection, and community gatherings. This initiative is funded through the Foundation’s Cultural Heritage Pillar which supports projects that protect, promote, and sustain culturally significant landmarks,” HFI Executive Director Ana Christi Galura stated.

The Chapel of the Holy Child is a replica of the historic Barasoain Church, a national landmark deeply rooted in Philippine history and identity. The agreement underscores a shared commitment to cultural heritage preservation and community well-being within the Clark Freeport Zone.

More than an infrastructure upgrade, the initiative represents an investment in cultural preservation, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience, honor, and take pride in the meaningful heritage site.
