Started out as just a backyard livelihood, the Caridad Hog Raisers Association has emerged as one of the successful enterprises in the Visayas, with the strong support of the provincial government of Negros Occidental.

Leading the inauguration was Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio V. Lacson who lauded the organization for their expansion initiative. “This is an excellent idea. As an association, you don’t just limit yourselves into raising and breeding swine. This also makes you in-charge of the marketing and pricing of your produce,” he said.

Lina Sanogal; HRANO president Cynthia Dela Cruz; PPMIU Assistant Head Dr. Narissa Lemoncito, and Cadiz City Veterinarian Dr. Josue Rabang, among others.
