Good news for our hardworking abacaleros! TGP Partylist Representative, Deputy Majority Leader, and Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Appropriations, Congressman Bong Joson Teves Jr., met with PhilFIDA Executive Director Ali Atienza and DA Region V Regional Director Rodel Tornilla to push forward an exciting initiative—bringing back abaca fiber in our country’s banknotes in partnership with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
This step highlights the value of abaca as our world-class heritage fiber, securing sustainable livelihoods for thousands of Filipino farmers who depend on it. With TGP Party-List’s continued support, abacaleros can look forward to a stronger and brighter future where their dedication is recognized and rewarded.
