AGRI STAR

17/12/2024

The eagerly anticipated culmination of Agri Klinik took place yesterday on December 16, 2024, marking the end of a fruitful learning experience for participants. The event, which welcomed 11 farmers - 10 from San Ramon, Bontoc, Southern Leyte and 1 from Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte - was filled with insightful talks, practical demonstrations, and valuable knowledge sharing.

The day began with a welcome address by Bermiso, followed by a prayer led by Tesado. The first talk, delivered by Mr. Josh Montederamos, delved into the world of Organic Farming. Moderated by Oja, Abadines, and Alvarado, the session shed light on sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both the environment and the community.

The second talk, presented by Sayson and moderated by Pracueles, Pilo, and Timkang, focused on Containerized Gardening. This innovative approach to gardening offers a solution for space-constrained individuals, allowing them to cultivate fresh produce even in urban settings.

To complement the theoretical knowledge, two practical demonstrations were conducted. Quilos showcased the technique of Banana Macropropagation, a method of multiplying banana plants efficiently. The demonstration was moderated by Tablo, Laspiñas, and Maldo.
The second demonstration, led by Goyo and moderated by Gilo, Espere, and Abadines, focused on the preparation of FPJ (Fermented Plant Juice) using a single ingredient. This natural plant-based fertilizer is known to enhance soil fertility and promote plant growth.

The event also featured talks on Lettuce Production by Ichon and Disease Prevention by Marfil. These sessions provided valuable information on crop cultivation and protection strategies.The culmination ceremony concluded with closing remarks by Mr. Bobby Anora, who expressed gratitude to all the participants, speakers, and organizers for their contributions to the success of Agri Klinik. He emphasized the importance of continuous learning and application of the knowledge gained to improve agricultural practices in the region.

The Agri Klinik culmination was a resounding success, leaving participants inspired and equipped with practical knowledge to improve their farming.

Back to Back Victory!🏆💚

As the final semester is about to end, a culmination program of PATHFIT and Art Appreciation was held last December 4, 2024, at the multi-purpose covered court in SLSU-BC. It was initiated by the two PATHFIT instructors, Mr. Jan Jeve Montajes and Mr. Diego Dumaguing. The BSA 1 and BSA 2 students actively showcased their talents, creativity, unity, and skills in their respective categories of competitions against the other students from the 4 departments—BSMB, BSFi, and BSIT—toward the sweet victory.

Fortunately, the BSA students brought home the great triumphs as their efforts, tears, and sleepless nights were paid off. The BSA 1 was declared the "PLAYGROUND DEMONSTRATION CHAMPION" and the BSA 2 was announced as the "Waltz Dance CHAMPION." This victory signifies that the agriculture students are not only academically inclined but also well competent to excel in other fields like arts, cultures, and physical activities.

Congratulations to another milestone and achievements that raised and waved the PRIDE of the AGRICULTURE Department! 🍃☘️
