ERP
reappointed as BAR director
by Rita T. Dela Cruz
 During
a simple ceremony last 8 March, Dr. Eliseo R. Ponce
took his oath for his second term as the Director of
the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR). Dr. Ponce
was sworn in with another re-appointee, Dir. Rogelio
Concepcion of the Bureau of Soils and Water Management
(BSWM) by the new Department of Agriculture Secretary
Leonardo Montemayor.
Considered as the "Father of Netowrking
in R&D" (as quoted from Dr. Concepcion's speech),
Dr. Ponce made a significant mark since he initiated
and set directions towards the formulation of the now
established national research, development and extension
(RDE) networks under which a set of National Integrated
Research Development and Extension Agenda and Programs
(NIRDEAPs) were developed. Through the one-system-one-program
approach, researchers link to an integrated R&D
program that is being coordinated by the networks to
produce new technologies that can be readily utilized
by our farmers and fishers.
Present during the ceremony were Department
of Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit , and SEAMEO Regional
Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture
(SEARCA) Executive Director Ruben Villareal.
