NIA Central Office – The officials and employees of the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) congratulate Administrator Benny D. Antiporda for being elected by the members of the NIA Board of Directors as the Agency’s new administrator during the 984th NIA Regular Board Meeting on August 18, 2022. He is the 26th Administrator of the Agency.
Before being the full-fledged chief of NIA, Administrator Antiporda has been appointed by then President Rodrigo Roa Duterte as Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units (LGU) Concerns and NIA Senior Deputy Administrator. Under the term of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez, Jr., he was appointed as NIA Acting Administrator.
With the objective of intensifying the Agency’s efforts and achievements in the years to come, Administrator Antiporda expressed his goal to double up the completed irrigation projects of the Agency that can fast-track irrigation development through Public-Private and Public-Public Partnership (PPP and PUP). All of these are geared towards the provision of efficient public service, especially to the farmer-beneficiaries. Thus the #NIAparasabayan was launched to remind all NIA employees to continue doing their best in the service of the Filipino people.
