Drs. Enrico Supangco, Domingo Angeles,
and Teresita Espino took their posts as team leader
of the National RDE Network on Livestock and Poultry,
Ornamentals, and Biotechnology, succeeding Dr. Alberto

respectively.
Appointments are made upon the recommendation
of the networks' lead institution-University of the
Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), and are subject
to review by BAR after two years. As team leaders, the
new appointees are responsible for providing the overall
leadership in planning and implementing their respective
network's RDE programs. The new team leaders are also
tasked to lead in the formulation of rational allocation
of resources, technical monitoring, review and evaluation,
identification and packaging of technology for dissemination,
and establishment/maintenance of linkages with national
and international institutions.
Dr. Supangco is an assistant professor
and the research and extension coordinator of the Institute
of Animal Science (IAS) at UPLB. He has a Ph.D. in Range
Science from the Texas A&M University. His specialization
includes beef cattle production, range and pasture management
and integrated crop-livestock farming systems. He is
a consultant of several foreign-assisted projects, and
is a member of recognized national and international
professional animal science and socio-cultural societies.
On the other hand, Dr. Angeles is the
associate dean and professor at the College of Agriculture
in UPLB. He has a postdoctoral degree from the University
of Georgia, Athens. Among his most notable accomplishments
are the establishment of the nutrient norms for banana,
coffee, citrus, tomato, and pineapple, and the protocol
for the diagnosis of nitrogen requirements of papaya
and pineapple using the rapid tissue test.
Dr. Espino is the director of the National
Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnolgy (BIOTECH),
and professor at UPLB. She obtained her doctorate degree
from the North Carolina University, and has since specialized
on molecular biology and biotechnology. She is a dedicated
and committed scientist continuously working to develop
and improve enzyme biotechnology, bioprocessing of major
commodities and develop control measures for major viral,
fungal, and bacterial diseases through monoclonal antibody
diagnostic technology. She is a recipient of various
