Every August 25 and 26, the municipality of San Agustin in Surigao del Sur celebrates the annual Farmers and Fisherfolks’ Day. This year, the celebration was made even more special with the simultaneous launch of the San Agustin Farmer's Information and Technology Services (FITS) Center and MOA signing ceremony. The launch provided an opportunity for more than 100 farmers, 50 fisherfolks and 100 visitors to witness and acquaint themselves with the services and benefits of having their own FITS center. The center was conceived from Municipal Mayor Manuel Alameda’s desire to establish a center where farmers could access new technology and information about farming, particularly the Natural Farming Technology System. Through local efforts and participation, an orientation for the Farmer’s Information and Technology Services (FITS) was held last November 13, 2008 at the Surigao del Sur Polytechnic College (Main Campus). This paved the way for San Agustin's bid to have its very own FITS Center.
