Abella, CLSU President; Dr. Virginia Venturina, Director of CenTrAD; Dr. Claro Mingala, National Livestock Program Director; and Dr. Liza G. Battad, Executive Director of DA-PCC. In his inspiring message, DA Secretary Laurel said that, after a year since its launching, the program has finally come to fruition. Through this initiative, he expressed hope that disease prevention strategies would be strengthened and that sustainable livestock production would be promoted through research and development. The program underscores CLSU’s continuing role as a leading institution in veterinary research and innovation, advancing science-based solutions that contribute to animal health, food security, and sustainable agricultural development in the Philippines. #SievingForExcellence
