The mandate of Department of Agriculture is as principal agency of the Philippine government responsible for the promotion of agricultural and fisheries development and growth. In pursuit of this, it provides a policy framework that directs public investments and, in partnership with the local government units (LGUs), provides the support services necessary to make agriculture and fisheries, and agri-based enterprises profitable and to help spread the benefits of development to the poor, particularly those in the rural areas. The vision of the agency is the creation of prosperous rural communities in the Philippines built on profitable farms that provide surplus for agro-industry and guarantees food security. The imbibed mission of the department is to increase the income of farmers and fisherfolk, thereby contributing to the achievement of the national goals of alleviating poverty, generating productive opportunities, fostering social justice and equity, and promoting sustainable economic growth1. This paper is focused on the rural development models of the Department of Agriculture from 1986 to present. Therefore the discussion will start during Cory’s regime and ends until the current P-Noy administration. Corazon Aquino administration Economic policies centered on bringing back economic health and confidence focused on creating a market-oriented and socially responsible economy. The significance impacts of the developmental programs of Cory’s administration were hindered by the country’s fiscal constraints. The regime was post EDSA1 revolution that ousted the two decade dictatorship of President Marcos. The inherited major social problems that the Aquino administration tried to address were poverty and high unemployment rate. The National Government had focused its role on providing new opportunities and an environment conducive to farming and fishing communities which enable them to engage in agribusiness ventures. 2 The immediate priority of the Department of Agriculture under the leadership of Secretary Dominguez was to hasten the agricultural development in the rural communities and increase farmer’s income as well as to develop the entrepreneurial skills of small farmers in managing rural-based industries.3 The rural development strategies of the Aquino Administration as stated in the LEAD Program Guidelines are the following: 1. Provision of income generating projects with interest and collateral free start-up funds 2. Development and enhancement of entrepreneurial skills of farmers and fishers in managing rural-based enterprises 3. Strengthen linkages with the LGU 4. Involvement of people’s organizations in the evaluation, approval and monitoring of projects. The above mentioned strategies used during the time of President Cory Aquino are still being utilized until now by the Department of Agriculture through its different program which include SELAP program and AKBay Program. 1 2 Retrieved on 09 January 2013 from www.da.gov.ph/ LEAD- Buklod Yaman Program Guidelines 3 Ibid Fidel V.
