The Department of Agriculture is set to launch the P20 Benteng Bigas Masterlist (PBBM) Registry System, a digital platform aimed at streamlining the operation and improve oversight of the “Benteng Bigas, Meron Na!”—the flagship food program of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The P20 Registry System, developed by the DA-Information and Communications Technology Service, will be launched as part of the broader celebration of Rice Awareness Month.
“With this online system, we can now step up the expansion of the P20 rice program to include other sectors such as teachers, security guards, and other transport sector workers like bus drivers and delivery riders,” Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr said.
The P20 Registry System link will be available for those who opt to register online by December 2025 on various online platforms such as eGov Portal, DA website, and DA FB Page, among others. This offers convenience to the target beneficiaries as they can already pre-register anytime, anywhere. ### (Photos by Alan Jay Jacalan, AFID)
