Acknowledgement

For any endeavor of any kind, size and scale, team work and collaboration bring success. And so, the DA- Bureau of Soils and Water Management (DA-BSWM) wishes to thank all who supported the Soil Health Assessment - National Soil Sampling and Testing (SHA-NSST) Project, 2016-2021.

First of all, we are grateful to His Excellency, President Rodrigo R. Duterte, former DA Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel F. Piñol, and current DA Secretary, Dr. William D. Dar, for giving due recognition on the need and importance of ensuring the sustainable use and management of the country's soil resources for agricultural development and nation building.

Sincerest gratitude is also extended to the DA-Regional Field Offices (DA-RFOs) and the Local Government Units (LGUs) for their cooperation and assistance especially during the conduct of field survey, soil sampling and soil testing.

Much appreciation is afforded to the farmers, Field Assistants and Agricultural Technicians who served as labor support and local guide.

Lastly, special recognition is given to the dedicated men and women of the SHA-NSST Project Team. Your commitment to deliver the highest quality of service even against daunting odds and unprecedented challenges such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic is truly commendable and worth emulating.

To God be all the Glory.
