One engagement prioritized the vegetable farmers in the Sta. Rita area. These thirteen (13) farmers are users of compost that their Cooperative produces. Four other farmers using compost in Lambac and Maquiapo in Guagua joined the engagement with the NDJ Agricons headed by Dr. Norman de Jesus of the Pampanga Agricultural College (PAC). The other engagement covered the aquaculture farmers in Masantol and Sto. Tomas. Three (3) fishpond operators completed the engagement with Aquafutura Consultancy headed by Victor Emmanuel Estilo. The seventeen (17) vegetable farmers who targeted to adopt organic agriculture were provided technical assistance through the 200-sqm. demo-farms each in their respective farms. The major intervention was the utilization of proven organic production system using trichoderma. According to the NDJ, trichoderma is beneficial to farmers as follows: 1.) Protects germinating seed, roots and emerging shoots from soil borne pathogens; 2.) Effective against a large number of foliar diseases; 3.) Economical and effective to use in the field; 4.) Environment-friendly, non toxic, and non-habit forming to plants; 5.) Ideal for organic farming, IPM and export oriented crops; 6.) Used as seed dressing agent; 7.) Has properties to induce systemic resistance in plants; 8.) Can colonize the pathogenic host root system; 9.) Helps the affected plant to grow again naturally and recover fully; and 10.) Has growth promoting properties. Nestor Zapanta poses in his CAPE demo farm of tomato. Saturnino Roque poses in his CAPE demo farm of pole sitao. PSTC-Pampanga 2010 Year-End Report On the other hand, the three (3) fishpond owners were able to gain various technical information in ensuring high quality and productivity of harvest. According to Mr. Estilo, pond bottom soil preparation (usually neglected due to time constraints) is one great factor in ensuring high productivity. Drying the pond bottom would hasten the mineralization of toxic substances through rapid oxidation. This restores soil texture and fertility and helps prevent the build-up of sludge. It also eliminates harmful pathogens through solar radiation and helps reduce the presence of unwanted fish species in the pond bottom. (V.Estilo). Below is the short list of recommendations made by the consultant. Although not all recommendations were adopted during the engagement, the fishpond owners recognized the effect of the different techniques. 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Importance of pond bottom soil preparation Appropriate method of predator control Tips in the production of natural food Proper bond preparation Proper record keeping of measurable culture parameters Training-consultation on aquaculture provided by consultant.

S&T Undergraduate Scholarship Program Republic Act 7687 otherwise known as the S&T Act of 1994 was approved and enacted in February 1994. It seeks to strengthen the country's science and technology manpower by creating a pool of scientists, engineers, and technicians who shall fill the needs of industrialization. Towards this end, scholarships are provided to finance the education of talented and deserving students to pursue a degree or training in areas of science and technology. DOST through the Science Education Institute (SEI) has been mandated to directly implement the program. It has two specific sub-programs, RA-7687 (Program A) and the DOST-SEI Merit Scholarships (Program B). Program A is intended for applicant whose socio-economic status does not exceed the set values of certain indicators, e.g. family gross income, electric consumption, food expenditure, etc. while Program B is for applicant whose annual family gross income exceeds P156,600.00.

PSTC-Pampanga 2010 Year-End Report Strategy III: S&T Promotion, Information Dissemination, Advocacy and Linkages For PSTC-Pampanga, advocacy activities and linkages have been very effective and beneficial both to the center and the partners. These initiatives were great contributors in achieving high impact accomplishments. Consistent conduct of vigorous S&T promotion and information dissemination campaign aimed at reaching the general public, policy makers and decision makers in government, the S&T community (researchers, inventors, educators, extension workers and their support personnel), the youth and the main employment generators of the country, the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The aggressive linkages with other institutions and individuals were the main tools of the Center that enhanced the attainment of accomplishments in the various S&T programs, the development of capabilities that effectively carried out S&T activities, and the interaction between science and society. S&T Linkages INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT AND LINKAGES PROVINCIAL BRANDING PROJECT The PSTC-Pampanga, together with other members of the technical working group (TWG) for the “Vida Pampanga!”, continuously initiated projects and activities in support to the accredited firms. In time for the transition within the Provincial administration, the TWG prepared the plans and programs that were proposed and funded accordingly through the Provincial Cooperative and Enterprise Dev’t. Office (PCEDO). Moreover, the PSTC-Pampanga ensured that the accredited firms were prioritized in all programs of the Department. PAMPANGA SME DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL PSTC-Pampanga has been active in participating to the Council’s planning sessions, meetings and review activities. Partnerships were forged during these activities. CITY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD The City Solid Waste Management Board was convened by the Hon. Mayor Oscar Rodriguez through the City ENRO on 24 June 2010. PSTC-Pampanga was among the members to represent DOST. Proposed programs/projects and activities on solid waste management were evaluated by the board during regular monthly meetings every last Friday. PSTC-Pampanga 2010 Year-End Report One Town One Product Program The continuous implementation of the One Town One Product Program has been one of the strategies of the PSTC-Pampanga in forging linkages with other agencies of the government and the private sector. Projects and activities crafted in line with OTOP were usually prioritized. For this year, two of the SETUP-core funded, two GIA-funded and two major technical assistance projects benefitted OTOP SMEs. DOST Regional Office No. 3 was the island’s nominee for the NATIONAL MOST SUPPORTIVE PARTNER AGENCY held on 12 March during the National Congress at the PTTC, Pasay City.
