2. TOT Participants Venture into Blended
Learning on Banana Production
DILIMAN, Quezon City – The blended
learning approach for training courses
is an emerging trend in the agriculture
and fisheries sector. Blended learning
complements the traditional face-to-face
training by taking one or more
online courses that can aid in the
participant’s learnings.
This was done during the recent
Season-long Training of Trainers (TOT)
on Banana Production conducted
by the Agricultural Training Institute-
Regional Training Center in Northern
Mindanao (ATI-RTC-10) last March to
July 2014. The participants enrolled
in some online courses offered by
the Institute through the e-Extension
Program for Agriculture and Fisheries.
A total of 28 participants took
various e-Learning courses on
banana production particularly on
the “Integrated Pest Management
for Banana” and “Growing Banana in
the Tropics: Cultural Management for
Banana Production” to supplement
their training. An ICT-literacy training
was first conducted to familiarize the
participants on the features of the
e-Extension portal and the e-learning
site.
“We appreciate the e-Learning
courses that we took because it
paved for us to be competitive, it is an
opportunity that we have to grab,” said
Dr. Anita Macabugto, TOT participant
and Agricultural Technologist of
Cabanglasan, Bukidnon.
As part of their study tour, the
participants visited the ATI-Central
Office to receive their e-Learning
certificates. During the ceremony
ATI Deputy Director for Policy and
Administration Dr. Evelyn
Aro-Esquejo said that “the
e-Learning for Agriculture
and Fisheries is an approach
geared to expose the
learners to an alternative
way of training and aims to
complement the traditional
face-to-face training.”
“With e-Learning, the
farmers will have another
option when they cannot
attend face-to-face training,” Aro-
Esquejo added.
The ceremony was conducted last
August 4, 2014 at the Agricultural and
Fisheries Knowledge Center (AFKC),
ATI Central Office, Diliman, Quezon
City. Present also were Ms. Antonieta
Arceo, Chief of ATI’s Information
Services Division (ISD), and Mr. Jose
Rey Y. Alo, e-Learning Process Advisor.
The ISD is the division in-charge
of implementing the e-learning for
agriculture and fisheries. (BCNatividad)

3. ATI’s School on the Air Program gets Full Support
from Provincial LGU in Capiz
ROXAS CITY, Capiz – The
Agricultural Training Institute
- Regional Training Center
VI (ATI-RTC VI) recently got the full
support of the provincial government
of Capiz for its School-on-the-Air
(SOA) Program.
There is no doubt that Governor
Victor A. Tanco has a lot on his plate
in terms of running Capiz. However,
agriculture is the one closest to his
heart because it is the primary source
of income of his people.
In providing better agricultural
technologies to its constituents,
ATI-RTC VI in collaboration with the
Provincial Local Government Unit
(PLGU) through the Office of the
Provincial Agriculturist conducted
a season-long SOA on Cassava
Production and Utilization.
SOA is an alternative method
for learning which uses radio as a
medium of instruction that aimed
to reach clients who are interested
to learn, use and practice new
technologies.
“Learning is a continuous process
especially now that technology is fast
changing hence you are trained along
these new technologies,” Tanco said.
The SOA was conducted
from February to July, 2014 and
broadcasted every Saturday from
12nn to 1 pm over local radio station
DYVR 657 KHz in Roxas City. The
broadcast included learning modules
that focused on the essentials of
cassava production as well as
processing and marketing.
There were about 617 graduates
from the program that consisted of
farmers, agricultural extension workers
as well as students. Tanco expressed
his delight to the graduates and urged
them to apply what they have learned
to their farms.
“I am happy that you are
part of this program, I hope
that you continue learning and
apply what you have learned
with the support of your local
government as well as the
Department of Agriculture
through ATI,” Tanco added.”
Antonieta J. Arceo, chief of
the ATI-Information Services
Division (ISD) representing
ATI Director Asterio P. Saliot
as guest of honor graced the
graduation ceremonies. She
recognized the “effort of the
provincial government led by Tanco
and said “without them we will not be
able to reach out to the 617 graduates
of the SOA.”
Arceo also noted that this SOA not
only focused on the production aspect
of cassava but on the processing and
marketing as well. “By adding value
to your products we hope to increase
your income and be able to change
your lives and build dreams,” Arceo
said.
The SOA mass graduation was
held last August 12, 2014 at the
CAP Auditorium, Roxas City Capiz.

and Assessment
Initiating Change through the
Airwaves as ATI-RTC I Holds
SOA Mass Graduation
STA MARIA, Ilocos Sur – For
Emilia Dela Rosa, a farmer from
Sta. Lucia, Ilocos Sur, it was
just a typical visit to her farm as she
applies the learnings from the trainings
she participated. One of these is on
sustainable rice production.
However this was not an ordinary
day for Emilia, she will be travelling for
about 35 kilometers from her hometown
to attend the graduation ceremony for the
season long School-on-the-Air (SOA) for
Sustainable Rice Production. But what
really made it special for her was that she
received the top achiever award for the
training.
“I did not expect to get the top
award,” Emilia said. Because it was
her first time to participate in a training
program using radio as a medium of
intruction, she did not know what to
expect. “I just took down notes and
listened intently to the broadcast,” Emilia
added.
The School-On-The-Air or SOA is
an alternative method for learning which
uses the radio as a medium to reach
clients who are interested to learn, use
and practice new technologies. It is
aired season-long in time for the farming
season of the focused commodity, thus it
provides a step-by-step guide for farmers
at every crop stage.
Agricultural Training Institute-
Regional Training Center in Ilocos Region
(ATI-RTC I) recently conducted the
SOA mass graduation as a culminating
activity to the season-long program on
sustainable rice production which started
last October 2013. The graduation
ceremony, held last March 18, 2014 at
the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College
(ISPSC) in Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur, had a
total of 550 graduates who took the five-month
SOA program.
The participants were comprised of
farmers, agricultural extension workers
and students who are taking up BS
Agriculture and Forestry. The program
was broadcasted over DZNF Radyo
Kailian 97.3 Mhz. The broadcast included
modules that focused on the different
techniques in sustainable rice production
as well as post-harvest practices,
farm mechanization and marketing
technologies.
A post-assessment evaluation
was administered both for farmers and
students category, as part of the SOA
program to determine the learnings
FROM THE REGIONS
gained by the participants.
Antonieta J. Arceo, chief of the
ATI-Information Services Division (ISD)
representing Director Asterio Saliot as
the guest of honor graced the graduation
ceremonies. She acknowledged the
capability of radio specifically the SOA
program in disseminating information.
“Through the School-on-the Air program,
information is accessible not just for the
few but for all,” Arceo said.
“Because with SOA, everybody can
participate and learn as we are sharing
knowledge without boundaries,” Arceo
added.
Through the SOA program, Emilia
now has more knowledge on how to
produce sustainable rice just by tuning-in
to her radio.
“Agyammanak la unay ti school-on-
the-air (I’m very thankful with
school-on-the air),” Emilia said. “Adda
nga mangbaybayabay kinya mi nga
mannalon (there is a guide for us
farmers).”(BCNatividad)
Corn Specialists Receive Their e-Learning Certificates
DILIMAN, Quezon City -- The
Agricultural Training Institute
(ATI) has started a rapid
monitoring and assessment to more
than 700 FITS Centers all over the
country. This is to determine if these
centers are still functional and effective
in delivering their intended services.
Likewise, the rapid monitoring
activity aims to determine the status
of the FITS Centers which will be
used as a basis in proposing for future
budget allotment of the Techno Gabay
Program (TGP).
A total of 375 FITS Centers have
been visited and assessed nationwide
from 10 regions. The rapid monitoring
of FITS Centers will be conducted until
the early part of 2015.
As one of the components of
the TGP, the Farmers’ Information
Technology Service (FITS) Center,
also known in the field as Techno
Twenty-five participants from
the Season-Long Training of
Trainers on Integrated Crop
Management for Corn finished the
course “From Seed to Seed: On Line
course on corn production” as part of
their season long training modules.
The participants were oriented to
the Philippine e-Extension Program
sometime in July where they were
encouraged to enroll in the corn
courses. they were provided with
enrollment protocols and information
on the available courses.
Dr. Rolando V. Maningas, ATI
Region IVA e-Extension Coordinator
spearheaded the distribution of
the certificates during the simple
graduation rites held last September
11, 2014, a week before they
graduated from the season-long
training. Special recognition were
given to Mr. Feranil, LGU Trece
Martires City, the first e-learner to
finish the course, while there were
nine participants who got 100%
score in the end-of-module test.

Youths among the Farmer-Graduates of
School-on-the-Air in Aklan
BANGA, Aklan – Most children
love weekends, for it usually
means that they have all the
time to watch television, bond with
their friends and play games. Children
just being children while enjoying all
their free time.
But for 13-year old Viemus James
O. De Pablo of Balete, Aklan, a
weekend for him involved listening to
a radio broadcast of School-on-the-Air
(SOA) which was recently conducted
by the Agricultural Training Institute-
Regional Training Center in Western
Visayas (ATI-RTV VI).
Viemus believed that participating
in the SOA program will enable him
to help his family in maintaining
their vegetable garden as well as to
increase his knowledge in agriculture.
“My mother persuaded me to join
her in listening to the SOA broadcast,”
Viemus said. “I got to learn about
the importance of planting organic
vegetable because of the SOA,”
Viemus added.
Viemus was one of the youngest
among the 577 farmer-graduates who
took the five-month SOA Program
on Organic Vegetable Production.
The graduation ceremony was held
last April 22, 2014 at the Aklan State
University, Banga Aklan.
From October of last year until
March 2014, the SOA Program was
aired every Sunday from 12:00nn to
1:00pm over DYYM 98.5 Hot FM and
was broadcasted to the municipalities
of Aklan. Topics discussed focused
on organic vegetable production
specifically on soil and agronomy,
pest and diseases identification and
control, harvesting and post-harvest
treatment and processing and storing
of vegetables.
Farmers as well as agricultural
extension workers (AEWs) are typical
participants of the SOA program but
in the case of Aklan, youths who were
still in elementary and high school
were allowed to participate in the SOA.
Antonieta J. Arceo, chief of the
ATI-Information Services Division
(ISD) representing Director Asterio
Saliot as the guest of honor, graced
the graduation ceremonies and
acknowledged the participation of the
youth saying she “was glad that they
were immersed in agriculture at a
young age.”
“Seeing the kids today in our midst
is an affirmation that there is future in
agriculture here in our country,” Arceo
said in her message.
Likewise, one particular strategy
that ATI-RTC 6 also employed was
to conduct a Farmers’ Field School
(FFS) on the same topic and selected
the participants from the enrolees of
the SOA program. A SOA learning site
was also established where the FFS
participants showcased their organic
vegetable products.
After graduating from the SOA
and learning everything about
organic vegetable production, Viemus
said that he will also persuade his
classmates to listen and join the next
SOA broadcast. “I will try to share
the information that I learned from
the SOA broadcast to my friends and
classmates,” says Viemus.
Through the SOA broadcast,
youths in Aklan do not only spend all
their free time playing but have the
option of listening to the radio and
expand their knowledge on agriculture-related
topics. (BCNatividad)

One of the objectives of the project
aims to recognize and capacitate
rice input dealers to be a part of the
agricultural extension system and
eventually help the government in
reaching the rice farmers. These input
dealers will ultimately be identified as
rice extension intermediaries (REIs).
“Our farmers also rely on
these input dealers as a source of
