Distinguished guests who attended the occasion included Surigao del Sur Sangguniang Panlalawigan District II member Anthony Joseph Caňedo; OIC center director of the Department of Agriculture -Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI) Caraga, Dr. Jessie V. Beldia; OPAg chief Marcos M. Quico; former municipal agriculturist, Severina C. Pore and representative from Bayalas Construction/DM Builder.
