ATIS.
- Lobo officially became a municipality in September 27, 1871.
140 years after, two more significant events occurred on the 27th day of September — the launching of the Agro-Ecotourism Industry of Lobo and the declaration of this town being the Atis Capital of the Philippines.
Department of Agriculture Regional Director (Region IV-A) Abelardo R. Bragas shared that Lobo earns an average of 2.5M per year from the town’s harvest of the main produce – atis (sugar apple). Being declared as the country’s atis capital will be part of the legacy and history of Lobo.
Through Dir. Bragas, the Office of the President and the Department of Agriculture awarded one unit of shallow tube well (a tube or pipe vertically set into the ground at depth of 20 to 60 feet for the purpose of suction lifting of water from shallow aquifer – bicol.da.gov.ph) to the LGU.
It was on November 9, 2009 that the proposal for the Agro-Ecotourism Industry of Lobo was presented to the Regional Development Council in Batangas Capitol and was then approved.
“Working together is a success”, according to Dir. Madrigal. This was proven by the public-private partnership established to push for the success of the proposed industry of Lobo.
