The delegation received a warm welcome from the CLSU officials headed by the University President, Dr. Edgar A. Orden, together with Vice President for Research and Extension, Dr. Armando N.

On the second day, the experts will visit CLSU’s partner communities and hold consultation meeting with farmers, extension workers, and local officials.  They will also meet with members of Shalom Club of Nueva Ecija, Philippines, Inc., a socio-civic organization of MASHAV course graduates.       MASHAV through the Israel Embassy hopes to intensify its partnerships with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in promoting best agricultural practices and innovations in the Philippines.  MASHAV has been working to improve lives and living conditions across the developing world for more than fifty years.
