To showcase the latest findings and technologies in Cacao, the Central Luzon State University held the Cacao TALKS (Transforming Agriculture through Livelihoods, Knowledge and Sustainability) 2026: A Cacao Value Chain Conference on March 11, 2026, at the RIE Amphitheater. The conference convened over 120 cacao farmers, researchers, and entrepreneurs, with more than 1,000 views on Facebook Live, synchronizing efforts to elevate the Philippine cacao value chain. The event was made possible under the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) funded project titled “Productivity, Technical Efficiency, and Competitiveness of the Cacao Value Chain in the Philippines” led by Dr. Edilyn V. Lansangan, which aimed to transition the industry from traditional farming to a technology-driven, market-competitive sector. During the opening program, University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, represented by Vice President for Research and Extension Dr. Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz, emphasized the importance of the gathering, noting that the presence of stakeholders reflects a collective drive to position cacao as one of the primary engines for rural development. “Today's conference brings together a diverse and dynamic community of stakeholders, from farmers and researchers to entrepreneurs, policymakers, and development partners. Your presence reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the Cacao Value Chain and unlocking the vast potential of Cacao as a driver of sustainable agriculture, livelihood generation, and rural development.” A high-level technical session featured industry leaders and researchers who addressed the multifaceted challenges of the sector. Philippine Cacao Industry Council (PCIC) President Consul Armi Lopez-Garcia and Dr. Divina M. Amalin of De La Salle University headlined a panel that covered national industry status, and the potential of cacao in the market. In addition, experts from CLSU, University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), University of the Philippines Mindanao, Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), and Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PHilMech) discussed advanced pest management and the integration of modern agricultural techniques. Beyond production, the conference bridged the gap between the laboratory and the marketplace. Ms. Eva Ritchelle D. Padua, owner of The Dulce Chocolate House, provided an entrepreneurial perspective through presenting a developed product from cacao. The event also featured a technology demonstration held at PHilMech. The event is spearheaded by CLSU together with PCIC/Philippine Cacao Industry Association, Inc.

COS Launches the FIRST Program to Elevate Research and Teaching

The College of Science (COS), led by its College Dean, Dr. Angeles M. De Leon, officially launched the Faculty Immersion in Research, Scholarship, and Teaching (FIRST) Program today, March 12, at the CLSU International Studio. Attended by College Deans, faculty members, and staff, the FIRST Program is a strategic initiative anchored under the Educating for Leadership, Enterprise, Value-Creation, and Advanced Talent Ecosystems (ELEVATE) Program of the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA) to transform the University into a world-class national research institution. Rather than a one-time workshop, it is an institutionalized, annual cycle of training and mentorship. “The success of the FIRST Program will depend not only on its design but on the active participation, collaboration, and commitment of our faculty members. This is an invitation for all of us to continue learning, mentoring, and growing together as a community of scholars,” De Leon said in her message. This program reflects the unwavering commitment of the University to strengthen not only its faculty but also the future of its students and its broader institutional impact. #SievingForExcellence
