Having produced tons of munggo since its farmers ventured into it as an additional income source, especially during the summer, San Mateo, touted as Isabela’s rice capital, may well be the region’s munggo granary, too.

In last Wednesday’s flood summit here, Isabela second district Rep. Edwin Uy quoted a budget study conducted by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), which he said has expressed interest in extending a loan to the national government for its flood control program in Cagayan Valley.

This early, the local government is already considering transforming the vast rice fields here into a munggo plantation as the Magat Hydro-electric Dam in neighboring Ramon town is feared to cease operation in about 15 years if siltation, which has been clogging the dam’s waterways, cannot be stopped.
