Three years after installation, a lot of things have changed with the Valencia Agrarian Farmers Association (VASFA) and our members. We now have other income-generating activities

Our installation last 2018 has really benefited our family. We lost our house before because of road widening. They asked us to leave.

I was lucky enough to be one of those who were installed earlier than the rest of the members of our organization.

From our installation 3 years ago up to today, our association has received a lot of support services from different providers.

I was a housewife and didn't know anything about agrarian reform or land rights. Later on, I got involved when my parents passed away.

I started planting corn in this part of land awarded to SUFA members. I chose corn because it can be a substitute for rice. Before, we only eat fish, dried fish, without rice.

When I was working with a fertilizer manufacturing company, I didn't like what I was doing. The job was really a risk for my health because of the chemicals that I'm handling.

I was once a Promo Coordinator for Splash, the company that manufactures skin products. After I gave birth to my second child, I resigned from this job and stayed at home

I was selected to be the caretaker of AALIVEFA's mushroom farm. This was built last year with the assistance of KAISAHAN. KAISAHAN linked us with DOST

When we started working on our land acquisition and distribution (LAD) process in 2016, most people believe it's impossible for us to get installed.
