00:00 Agriculture is the rehabilitation of PDLs brought to Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm in Palawan.

00:07 It is expected that the crops will be sold at the end of the year and the profit will go to the PDLs' main needs.

00:16 Salima Refrang has the story.

00:22 The farmers and the farmers' farmers will be planting hectares of rice and vegetables in the entrances of Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

00:31 The initial 500 hectares were planted in the program of the Department of Justice and the Department of Agriculture.

00:39 The farmers and the farmers are PDLs from the minimum and medium security classification.

00:46 Some of them are new recruits from the Philippines under the Prison Decongestion Program.

00:52 Most of them were imprisoned because of drugs.

00:55 Part of the reformation program is for our work and livelihood so that they can learn.

01:01 So that when they are released, they will have knowledge in farming.

01:06 They are planting tons of rice and high-value crops that they are hoping to harvest in the next month.

01:11 Even though their farm is small, Iwahig Prison hopes that they can help the food security of the country.

01:20 If we have a lot of supplies here, we will do our best to lower the price.

01:28 That is our agreement with the DA.

01:30 Aside from rice and vegetables, PDLs are also growing fish in their aquaculture pond.

01:38 7,500 of those are Tilapia fry from BIFAR.

01:42 They are hoping to harvest those before the year ends.

01:46 Livestock like cows and other animals are being cared for.

01:50 They are also hoping to sell those in December.

01:53 We are expecting more or less 3 million for our livestock this year.

02:00 All of the net proceeds will go to the fund.

02:04 That is what we are using to pay for the needs of PDLs.

02:09 There are also 30 hectares of rice that are being planted by Palawan Specialty

02:14 that are expected to bear fruit within three to five years.

02:18 The total population of Iwahig prisons is now 3,373.
