With its mission to transform rural communities, the Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through its Techno Village Development Program (TVDP), distributed 1,500 improved mallard ducks, known as ItikPINAS, to farmer partners in Nueva Ecija, specifically Aliaga, Talavera, and Science City of Muñoz on May 6, 2025. This initiative will provide beneficiaries with additional income opportunities and sustainable livelihoods. The program includes the provision of high-quality ducks, along with essential technical support from CLSU experts. The 1,500 distributed ducks, valued at approximately 370 pesos per duck, were already three months old and productive layers. The turnover was led by Dr. Aldrin E. Badua, University Extension Program Office Director, along with program head Mr. Armando C. Lagasca, Head of UEPO Technology Promotion Division, and attended by the University President and TVDP Program Leader, Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, with six beneficiaries and agricultural representatives from Talavera and Science City of Muñoz. The ItikPINAS is a genetically superior Philippine native layer duck recognized for its uniform appearance, high and consistent egg production (averaging 257–266 eggs per year), disease resistance, and adaptability to the local climate. This initiative is part of CLSU’s broader efforts to promote agricultural innovation and community development through technology transfer and partnerships with local stakeholders. #PartnershipForTheGoals
