Posted on Aug - 26 - 2022

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and Vice-President Sara Z. Duterte are featured in a rice paddy art established on Aug. 16 at the FutureRice Farm in Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.

To be visible after a month, the paddy art is planted with PSB Rc 10 and the traditional purple rice.

Attendees in the Lakbay Palay being organized by the Department of Agriculture-Philippine Rice Research Institute (DA-PhilRice) will have a full view of the artwork in Sept. 14-15.

More than 50 researchers and field workers planted the canvass for over two hours.
