DEKAD NO. 16 1 – 10 JUNE 2025

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

During the forecast period, the country will be affected by southwest monsoon, low pressure area (LPA), and localized thunderstorms.

During the early days of the dekad, the southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over MIMAROPA, Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Batanes, Zambales, and Bataan while the rest of the archipelago will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. After this, the Ilocos Region, Batanes, Bataan, Zambales, Occidental Mindoro, and Palawan will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms. The rest of the country will experience generally fair weather condition with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. During the latter part of the dekad, most parts of Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Bataan, Zambales, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Visayas, and Bicol Region will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms, while the rest of the country will continue to experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Winds coming from the southwest will prevail over the northern and western sections of Luzon, while the rest of the archipelago will experience winds from the southwest to south. However, during the second half of the dekad, winds from the northeast to south will start to gradually prevail over the eastern section of Luzon, while Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao will generally have winds coming from the southwest. The rest of Luzon will experience winds from the southwest to south. During the latter part of the forecast period, as Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao continue to have winds from the southwest, the rest of Luzon will have winds from the southwest to southeast.

During the early days of the forecast period, moderate to rough seas will prevail over the western section of Luzon and extreme Northern Luzon while the rest of the archipelago will have slight to moderate seas. Afterwards, the entire country will experience slight to moderate sea conditions.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: INACTIVE (Updated: 28 May 2025)

Recent sea surface temperature anomalies in the tropical Pacific indicate ENSO-neutral conditions. Most climate models suggests that ENSO-neutral conditions are likely to persist through August-September-October 2025.

FARM ADVISORIES:
Livestock animals are susceptible to contract diseases during the rainy periods. Always keep animal shelters clean, dry and well ventilated. Keep the goats/ruminants shut in the barn, well protected from draft and provided with clean solid floor. Give them cut grass or hay to eat to maintain energy and fight against pneumonia.

* DA names Nueva Vizcaya as ginger capital of the Philippines
Author: DA-AFID | 25 May 2025
The Department of Agriculture has officially declared Nueva Vizcaya as the “Ginger Capital of the Philippines,” signaling a more focused government effort to channel resources toward boosting the production of this high-value crop in the Cagayan Valley region.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has repeatedly underscored the need to raise agricultural productivity—particularly for spices like ginger—as a cornerstone of his administration’s goal to revitalize rural economies focusing on high-value agriculture. At the heart of the Marcos administration’s initiative is empowering local farmers by providing them with access to improved technologies, better infrastructure, and markets to unlock the full potential of crops that have long been underutilized.

“This recognition is not just a title—it’s a commitment to deliver support where it truly matters,” said Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. “Ginger is valued both for its culinary and medicinal uses, and with proper backing from the DA, it can significantly improve product value addition to uplift the incomes of smallholder farmers in Nueva Vizcaya and across Cagayan Valley.”

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, Nueva Vizcaya led ginger production in 2024, harvesting approximately 7,140 metric tons from 933 hectares of land.

Home to around 5,010 ginger growers, the province is known for its openness to innovative farming practices and sustained efforts to boost yields, which last year averaged 7.4 metric tons per hectare. Beyond production, Nueva Vizcaya also serves as a major source of ginger for key trading hubs in Northern and Southern Luzon and Metro Manila, facilitating the movement of some 14,753 metric tons in 2024.

An agricultural stronghold, Nueva Vizcaya spans 481,388 hectares and also produces rice, corn, onion, garlic, tomatoes, melon, and mango—cementing its role in ensuring food security and rural agri-enterprise development. ###

** BAFE and BPI Team Up to Finalize Greenhouse Guidelines
The Bureau of Agricultural and Fisheries Engineering (BAFE) and the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) held a consultation meeting today, May 26, 2025, at the DO Conference Room, BPI, Malate, Manila, to review the revised draft of the Technical Bulletin for the Design and Specifications of Greenhouse Facilities.
Led by BAFE’s Engineering Plans, Designs, and Specifications Division (EPDSD), the meeting brought together BPI’s Agricultural Engineering Division (BPI-AED) and other related units to improve the draft guidelines. By fostering efficient collaboration, BAFE and BPI demonstrate how government bodies can work together to enhance policy implementation and service delivery. This coordinated approach is essential as the bulletin aims to provide clear and effective guidelines for greenhouse facility development, a crucial step towards increasing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security for everyone.
Participants actively shared feedback and suggestions to enhance the bulletin, which aims to guide the proper development of greenhouse facilities. This effort supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitment to modernize Philippine agriculture to improve food security.
The joint review highlights the importance of collaboration among government agencies in crafting effective policies that benefit farmers and the agricultural sector, aligned with the Department of Agriculture Secretary Francisco “Kiko” Tiu Laurel Jr.‘s agenda of improving available agri-fisheries facilities to increase production and modernize farming systems.
