FAO Representative posting about the Philippines, fisheries and aquaculture Re-Post or link sharing ≠ endorsement
The ingenuity and craftsmanship of Filipino farmers and fishers is immense yet far too under-recognized. Grateful to DA for organizing this special Kadiwa ng Pangulo in Intramuros, helping give their work the visibility and appreciation it deserves.

Weaving piña or abaca cloth is extraordinary. It is hard to imagine the skill, patience and artistry required to turn pineapple leaves into one of my barongs. Deep respect to the traditional weavers who keep this Filipino heritage alive.

Thank you, MP Ambolodto for visiting @FAO.org - Philippines. Your commitment to advancing food autonomy in the #BARMM & strengthening agricultural value chains as pathways to peace-driven development is truly commendable. We stand with you as we continue moving forward together.

Thank you Department of Agriculture - Philippines and BFAR SAAD Cagayan Valley for sharing these powerful testimonies and photos from our joint #AnticipatoryAction efforts to protect the assets and livelihoods of fish farmers affected by 🌀 Super-Typhoon #UwanPH.
November 9, 2025 at 1:17 PM
We are deeply grateful to the Department of Agriculture for their strong support to the Farmers’ Cooperatives under #SAAD programme. Without them, we could not have delivered anticipatory actions. Together, we helping those most vulnerable to climate impacts while building strong protocols.

Super Typhoon #UwanPH: #AnticipatoryAction continues as DA - SAAD Cagayan Valley now supports farmers’ cooperatives and associations in relocating cattle to safer areas & reinforcing pens for pigs, goats, sheep & poultry.

Mushroom houses and greenhouses are also being secured against strong winds.

🌀Super-Typhoon #UwanPH: #AnticipatoryAction is underway. Materials secured, assets being evacuated 🐄 ⛵️

Communities are not just on the frontline, they are the ones leading the action. We just support them with locally-relevant knowledge & missing resources.

The typhoon is coming. We know it will be devastating. We can’t just wait. We must help people protect their assets & lives, especially those who can’t do it alone. With the Department of Agriculture, we act now to save farmers & fishers' livelihoods, and reduce rebuilding costs. #AnticipatoryAction

Another threat looms over the Philippines: supertyphoon #Fungwong #UwanPH. Too many lives and livelihoods are again at risk. #WaitAndLament is not an option. We must act now, starting by sharing agro-climate advisories to help communities prepare.

Decent work & resilient enterprises are not acts of charity. They are foundations of strong food systems & the path to #BlueTransformation. How can we tackle informality to make this real? Grateful to ILO Philippines & Japan for this rich 2-day dialogue.
