If you are investing in a piggery or poultry project, make sure to get an environment compliance certificate (ECC) from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. You could lose your shirt if you just put up your project without the ECC.

HE LOST P1.7 MILLION – One retiree from the Department of Agriculture confessed to us just recently that he virtually lost his P1.7 million retirement bonanza.
