The Agricultural Training Institute

The Agricultural Training Institute was born from the merging of the

Bureau of Agricultural Extension (BAEx), the Philippine Agricultural Training

Council (PATC) and the Philippine Training Centers for Rural Development

(PTC-RD) through Executive Order No. 116 issued by President Corazon C.

Aquino on January 30, 1987. Section 20 of EO No. 116 paragraph b provides

that “the Philippine Agricultural Training Council, Philippine Training

Center for Rural Development, and Bureau of Agricultural Extension are

hereby merged into the Agricultural Training Institute, which shall train

Ministry field technicians in extension work with emphasis on technology

transfer techniques; train generalists in regional field offices; and conduct

multi-level training programs to promote and accelerate rural

development”.

The ATI started with 10 training centers from the former PTC-RD

when it became operational in 1987. A year after, the number of training

centers nationwide rose to 26 when nine Regional Training Centers (RTC)

and seven Farmers’ Training Centers (FTC) were set up.

In 1989, there were a total of 41 training centers nationwide after

seven FTCs, seven Regional Fishermen’s Training Centers (RFTC) and the

International Training Center on Pig Husbandry (ITCPH) were installed.

ATI’s role as the DA’s extension and training arm was strengthened

with the Republic Act 8435 or the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization

Act (AFMA) of 1997. But in November 1998, the RFTCs were turned over to

the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. Also, the FTCs were

renamed Provincial Training Centers.

The Agricultural Training Institute in the Cordillera Administrative

Region started as one of the Regional Training Center of the PTC-RD and

was established on May 30, 1977 when the PTC-RD was created through

Presidential Decree No. 1145. It became one of the first ten Training

Centers of the ATI when it was established in 1987. To date, the ATI-CAR is

one of the 16 existing Regional Training Centers all over the country and

one International Training Center on Pig Husbandry of the Institute.

a. e-Extension Program

Under the ATI’s e-Extension Program the ATI-CAR was able to administer three online

courses namely, Online Course on Arabica Coffee Production, Training Management, and Basic

Bee Keeping. The Center was also able to record 332 enrollees on the said courses. A total of 204

individuals from CAR graduated from their respective e-learning courses this year. Out of the 46

online courses being offered by the ATI’s e-Extension program 28 courses were availed by e-

Learners from CAR. The online course on vermicomposting produced the most number of

graduates from the region with 19 individuals finishing the course this year. In terms of the

provincial aggregate, the most number of e-learning graduates came from Benguet with 126

individuals graduating from various courses. Most graduates are students with 123 individuals

finishing their respective online courses in 2015.

The ATI-CAR also monitors the number of graduates of the online courses it developed.

There are three courses in the ATI’s e-Extension program developed by the ATI-CAR namely,

Online Course on Arabica Coffee Production, Training Management, and Basic Bee Keeping. A

total of 272 individuals successfully graduated from the online courses developed by the Center.

In terms of occupation, agricultural extension workers and students topped the most number of

participants with each contributing 89 individuals. The location of graduates from the courses

developed by the Center is also being monitored. In 2015, Region 10 or the Northern Mindanao

region recorded the most number of graduates from the online courses developed by ATI-CAR

with 84 graduates from the said region. The ATI-CAR was also able to develop a new online course

which is on advanced bee keeping.

There were also 131 individuals who availed of the e-learning services through the

assistance of ATI-CAR. The ATI-CAR also conducted briefings to further popularize the ATI’s e-

Extension program. A total of 14 briefings or knowledge sharing and learning (KSL) activities were

conducted by the Center where the e-Extension program and other ICT-based resources on

agriculture were promoted. There were 613 individuals who attended these briefings conducted

at various locations in the region, 280 of them are males while 333 are females. Farmers

composed the most number of participants during the briefings with 385 farmers in attendance.

In terms of the location of the briefings participants, the Province of Kalinga contributed the most

number of participants with 214 individuals. The knowledge sharing and learning activities

Farmers, students, and AEW are introduced to the e-Extension program of the ATI all year round at the ATI-CAR to further popularize the program among the AFE stakeholders.

To further promote the e-Extension program the ATI-CAR conducted an appreciation

course on the ATI’s e-extension program and an e-learning session on training management for

the students of Benguet State University taking Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in

Extension. The activity was attended by 57 students 20 of them are males while 37 are females.

The ATI-CAR spent ₱26,133.03 for the activity with a cost per NOI of ₱458.47 and a cost per PMD

of ₱458.47.

The ATI-CAR’s school-on-the-air program, being a regular program, is implemented every

year. The SOA is an extension methodology where participants learn by listening to the radio

while they are either at home or at work instead of attending formal sessions in the classroom.

Since the Center aims to bring the SOA program to each of the provinces of CAR, the ATI-CAR

conducts a SOA in one province every year. The selection of a recipient province for the SOA is

based on the following considerations:

1. availability of a radio station that can cover the whole or most of the province;

2. willingness of the provincial local government unit to support and co-implement a SOA

and;

3. the champion commodities of the province

BSA students majoring in extension education from the Benguet State University took the Online Course on

Training Management after a briefing on the ATI’s e-Extension Program.

15

The ATI-CAR was able to conduct a SOA on Organic Highland Vegetables for the province

of Benguet in 2013 and a SOA on organic lowland vegetable for the province of Kalinga in 2014.

The province of Abra was selected as the recipient of the SOA program for 2015 as it was the first

province to express its interest to support and co-implement the program. Abra Provincial

Agriculturist Jesus Villamor manifested their interest to the program during the Philippine

Association of Provincial and City Agriculturist-CAR Chapter assembly on October 30, 2014 thus

in 2015 the SOA was implemented in Abra covering 25 of the 27 municipalities of the province.

The SOA was implemented in partnership with the Provincial Local Government Unit of

Abra through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAg), the DZPA- Abra Community

Broadcasting Corporation (ACBC) and the participating Municipal Local Government Units

through their respective Municipal Agriculture Offices. The SOA on Organic Lowland Vegetable

Production for the province of Abra

started through a series of consultation

with the OPAg Abra, the DZPA-ACBC and

the participating municipal local

government units. The SOA was

launched on August 5, 2015 at the Abra

Provincial Capitol Atrium in Bangued,

Abra. It was attended by 85 participants,

composed of SOA coordinators and

farmer leaders from the participating

municipalities, and staff of the OPAg of

Abra, officials of the DZPA- ACBC and officials and staff of the ATI-CAR. The ATI-CAR was

represented by Assistant Training Center Director Myrna B. Sta. Maria and Mr. Maximino R.

Aromin, Jr. Abra Provincial Agriculturist Jesus Villamor headed the delegation from the OPAg of

Abra. The DZPA-ACBC on the other hand was represented by its Director, Fr. David Mark P.

Taverener and its Station Manager, Ms. Merla Q. Ruiz. Mrs. Ruby Bersamin, wife of Governor

Eustaquio P. Bersamin, represented the Gov ernor as the guest of honor during the SOA

launching.

The SOA focused on the production of organic lowland vegetables. A total of 734

individuals graduated from the said SOA. It is composed of 28 episodes and was aired on August

11,2015 to December 10, 2015 every Tuesdays and Thursdays of the week from 11:30 AM to

12:00 PM. Mr. Christopher Gulloy and Ms. Marites Balling, the Provincial Organic Agriculture

focal person and Provincial Organic Agriculture Report Officer, respectively served as provincial

SOA coordinators and at the same time anchor resource persons. They were selected as SOA

coordinators and at the same time anchor resource persons based on their field of expertise,

trainings and experiences in relation to the conduct of a SOA and to the organic agriculture

program as certified by the OPAg. As provincial SOA coordinators and anchor resource person

they were tasked to develop modules and evaluation materials for the SOA. They were also

tasked to monitor the municipal SOA coordinators and consolidate reports coming from them. It

was also agreed by the SOA management team, composed of representatives from the ATI, the

OPAg of Abra, the DZPA-ACBC and the municipal SOA coordinators, that the provincial SOA

coordinators will be responsible in checking, recording and consolidating the results of quizzes

and tests during the SOA.

To further facilitate the smooth implementation of the SOA, the ATI-CAR solicited the

assistance of the participating municipalities by requesting them to assign a municipal SOA

coordinator from their respective municipal agriculture offices preferably their OA or HVCDP

focal person which the participating municipalities willingly complied. The municipal SOA

coordinators were tasked to select and assist farmers who are willing to enroll and participate in

the SOA. They are also responsible in the consolidation of the information regarding the SOA

enrollees required by the ATI-CAR.

Moreover, the municipal SOA

coordinators were also tasked to

facilitate the distribution,

administration and retrieval of the

SOA quizzes and tests. They also have

to select and assist a farmer enrollee

who is willing to host a laboratory

garden for the SOA. The said

laboratory garden served as a

demonstration site for the SOA

lessons and can also serve as a venue

for group meetings, reviews and

other activities of the enrollees. The

municipal SOA coordinators were

further required to monitor and gather feedbacks from their respective enrollees at least twice

a month throughout the duration of the SOA. Furthermore, they also have to listen regularly to

the SOA airings for them to be able to conduct a review session when necessary. Lastly the SOA

coordinators are required to attend monitoring and feed-backing meetings called by the SOA

management team.

A total of eight quizzes were administered during the SOA. The quizzes were aired every

after three to four episodes depending on the length of the topics covered. Aside from these

quizzes two long exams were also given on October 23, 2015 and November 16, 2015, the exams

however were on paper. A final exam was administered on November 25, 2015 where the top

three enrollees from each municipality too another qualifying exam to determine the SOA’s top

three enrollees for the whole province.

their feed backing meetings at the Office of the Provincial

Agriculturist in Bangued, Abra.

Aside from the monitoring tasks given to the SOA coordinators, the ATI-CAR also

conducted a monitoring activity on November 6, 2015 and November 18 to 20, 2015. The

monitoring activity of the ATI-CAR confirmed the existence of at least one laboratory garden in

each participating municipality. Some municipalities have two laboratory gardens to

accommodate participants who cannot be clustered into one since they are too far from each

other. Some participants also dedicated a portion of their own vegetable farms to serve as their

individual laboratory garden. The SOA participants also disclosed during the monitoring activity

that the SOA is indeed very helpful towards the improvement not only of their farming practices

but also of their food habits. Here are some excerpts during the interview with the SOA enrollees.

A graduation ceremony capped

the five-month SOA on organic lowland

vegetable production for the province of

Abra with 734 graduates. ATI-RTC-CAR

Training Center Director Arlene L. Flores,

in her message, appealed to the

graduates to sustain the gains they

started from the SOA. She emphasized

that the culmination of the SOA does not

also mean the end of their efforts in

practicing organic farming rather it is the

beginning of their journey towards

conversion from a pesticide-laden

farming system to sustainable

agriculture. Also present during the

graduation ceremony were Board

Member Leonard K. Andanan, chairman of the committee on agriculture of the Sanguniang

Panlalawigan of Abra, who represented Governor Eustaquio P. Bersamin, Abra Provincial

Agriculturist Jesus Villamor, Mayor Marco M. Bautista of San Juan and Ms. Merla Ruiz, station

manager of the DZPA. The ATI-CAR

and the OPAg of Abra also awarded

prizes for the municipalities with the

highest number of graduates and best

laboratory garden. The municipality of

San Juan, Abra produced the most

number of SOA graduates with 71

individuals followed by Pilar and

Danglas who placed second and third

respectively. The top three

municipalities with the best

laboratory gardens were San

Centers regular and HVCDP funds. The cost per number of individual (NOI) was recorded at

₱1,063.03 while the cost per participant man day (PMD) was at ₱32.76. In terms of sex

aggregation the SOA was attended by 313 males and 421 females.

b. Knowledge Management Center

Under the ATI’s Knowledge Management Center is the Techno Gabay Program (TGP). The

TGP is an extension methodology developed by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic

and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) of the Department of Science and

Technology in 1998. It aims to to bring science-based information and technology services to

the end-users in agriculture, fishery, forestry and natural resources (AFFNR) sectors. It has four

components namely the Farmers Information and Technology Services (FITS) Center, the

Magsasaka Siyentista, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Strategies, and

Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

The TGP was first implemented by the PCAARRD through the Agriculture Research

Resources and Development Consortia hosted by State Universities and Colleges and upon its

maturity was transferred to the ATI in

2012. The Techno Gabay Program was

further strengthened trough Executive

Order Number 801 entitled “Encouraging

the Local Government Units (LGUs) to

Adopt the Techno Gabay in their

Agricultural Extension Programs and the

In 2012 the Highland Agriculture

Research Resources and Development

Consortium weaned 47 FITS Centers to the

ATI-CAR. In 2015 five new FITS Centers

were established by the ATI-CAR at the

municipalities of San Isidro, Lagayan,

Tineg, and Pilar in the province of Abra all

hosted by their respective municipal

agriculture offices. The establishment of

these FITS Centers started with the

submission of a letter of intent b the

concerned municipality, an initial assessment conducted by the ATI-CAR follows to check if the

LGU is ready for a final assessment conducted by the ATI-CAR, HARRDEC, OPAg Abra and the Abra

State Institute of Science and Technology. The five municipalities were able to pass the

assessment consequently were recommended for launched by the evaluation team. The five FITS

Center received an ICT support packaged worth ₱100,000.00 each during the launching program

aside from the IEC and training support provided by the ATI-CAR. Aside from establishing new

FITS Centers the ATI-CAR also

provided IEC materials to 52 FITS

Centers and monitored 23 FITS

Centers in the region.

The ATI-CAR also provided

capability building activities for the

FITS Center staff. There were three
