Diligence Paved The Way For This ULAT Sipag Top Awardee For Two Consecutive Years

Yap, who is fondly called “Jaypee” by family and friends, won again this year’s top prize in the print category of the Ulat SIPAG Award for his articles showcasing PCAARRD’s projects in the different regions of the country that were published in the Agriculture Magazine. This is his second year of winning the top award for the said category. In 2017, however, Yap won the third prize during the award launching. The Awards have been held annually to boost the Council’s branding initiative, which currently focuses on promoting the Strategic Industry (S&T) Program for Agri-Aqua Growth (SIPAG).

The awards were divided into two categories: print and broadcast. Awardees were selected based on their outstanding contributions in showcasing the different commodities under PCAARRD’s Industry Strategic S&T Program (ISP).

On Yap’s part, he was cited in featuring PCAARRD’s initiatives in some of his articles which include, among many others, the development of a chicken strain under PCAARRD’s ISP on native chicken as a source of additional livelihood for farmers and other sectors of society; PCAARRD’s support to boost the Philippines’ fruit industry through its ISP on native fruits; and the PCAARRD’s support to the country’s ailing mungbean industry under its ISP on the commodity.

URBAN GARDENER GROWS FOOD IN PLASTIC DRUMS AMID THE QUARANTINE FOR THEIR FAMILY'S FOOD SECURITY

IN QUEZON CITY, Daisy Cu, 46, began growing vegetables in their residence as an attempt at food security and self-sufficiency. Cu has been tending ornamental plants and fruit-bearing trees for years now. Her free time during the quarantine allowed her not only to focus on cultivating her existing plants, but also to produce vegetables at home using plastic drums. Cu's goal to provide food for their family is what urged her to establish a decorative, yet an edible garden incorporating ornamental and food crops. "With the use of the blue drums, I was able to achieve my intention of creating an edible but decorative garden plus I was able to repurpose the drums as well,” Cu explained.
