Consultation workshop on national RDE rootcrops held
by Rita T. dela Cruz
In order to identify the different Regional
Coordinators for Rootcrops, a consultation workshop
was held last 20 March 2000 at the PhilRootcrops Training
Hall in VISCA, Baybay, Leyte. DA-BAR, PhilRootcrops,
and VISCA jointly sponsored the one-day activity.
BAR Director, Dr. Eliseo R. Ponce presented
the keynote address, which heightened on making the
rootcrops industry to the global market."…think
this commodity on a global market!" With this endeavor,
Dr. Ponce reiterated the role of VISCA to have a forum
with other key institutions to synchronize activities
on rootcrops. Moreover, for them to conduct symposia
or series of seminar with speakers from these key institutions
to have better interaction and to gain salient information
from their past, present, and future activities.
He also stressed the importance of different
DA-Regions when it comes to providing strategic interventions
that could also be looked at as a strategic role in
the conduct of research. These regions must formulate
a Regional RDE Network and come up with the MOU that
embodies the general agreement of the member institutions.
The Consultation Workshop was highlighted
by three presentations on National Integrated RDE Agenda
and Program for Rootcrops, National Integrated RDE Agenda
and Program for White Potato, and National RDE Network
for Rootcrops. This was presented by Dr. Jose Pardales,
Jr. of PhilRootcrops, Dr. Jocelyn Perez of NPRCRTC,
and Dr. Fernando Evangelio, National Team Leader for
Rootcrops RDE Network, respectively.
Also present in the activity were: Paencia
P. Milan, President of VISCA, Jose L. Bacusmo, Director
of ODRD, PhilRootcrops Staff, and DA-BAR Staff.
