BAR sends off 1st batch of PhD scholars
by Junelyn S. de la Rosa
In a bid to enhance the career growth
and development of its staff, the Bureau of Agricultural
Research (BAR) gave full scholarships to three of its
staff to pursue their postgraduate studies starting
this semester at prestigious universities in the country.
They are: Ms Carmencita V. Kagaoan, Ms Melissa Resma,
and Mr. Marlowe Aquino.
Ms Carmencita V. Kagaoan, Head of the
National Programs Division (NPD) of BAR will pursue
a doctorate on Environmental Science at the University
of the Philippines at Los Baños (UPLB), College,
Laguna. As the head of the NPD, Ms Kagaoan supervises
the provision of technical support to 21 national RDE
networks, 3 independent sub-networks, and 4 special
programs. The NPD is tasked to review and evaluate R&D
proposals and monitor on-going BAR-funded projects.
As a veritable research manager, Ms Kagaoan
is interested in incorporating sustainability issues
in agricultural programs and promoting environmental
management as a priority concern in formulating programs
in research and development. She believes that a Ph.D.
on Environmental Science and Management will give her
a more wholistic understanding of the interplay of factors
within the agricultural ecosystem.
Ms Melissa Alano-Resma, will study her
Master's degree in Information Technology at Las Salle
University, Manila. She is the hardware specialist of
the Information Communication Technology Division (ICTD).
Her work involves refurbishing pulled-out workstations
and configuring newly acquired workstations and peripherals,
and deploying them to various divisions of the Bureau
or to different regions.
Another scholar is Mr. Marlowe Aquino
of the National Programs Division (NPD). As the person
in-charge of the national rice and corn RDE networks,
he conducts regular monitoring, coordination and evaluation
of the program of activities of the two networks. His
areas of expertise are: agricultural education, extension
and rural development.
All full scholars are entitled to receive
their salaries, free tuition fees, a monthly stipend
of P6500, a relocation allowance of P10,000 (married)
and P5000 (single), computerization, dissertation and
book allowances.
