The JMC was signed by Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. and Interior and Local Government Secretary Juanito Victor “Jonvic” C. Remulla Jr. during a ceremony, underscoring the national government’s commitment to fully implementing the landmark law.
The circular operationalizes Section 12(b) of the Sagip Saka Act, which exempts qualified structures, buildings, and warehouses used for storing farm inputs and outputs from real property tax, provided their assessed value does not exceed ₱3 million.
The signing also advances Executive Order No. 101, s. of 2025, which directs the full implementation of the Sagip Saka Act and strengthens coordination across government to deliver its benefits to farmers, fisherfolk, cooperatives, associations, and agricultural enterprises. ### (Photos by Alarico Nuestro, DA-AFID)
