MESSAGE
2010, a welcome to our new office. Our appreciation to the Provincial Government
for rebuilding our Provincial Science and Technology Center. Our full support to the
Kapampangan continues with our comfortable office where we accommodate their
concerns.
Four (4) projects were added to our list in support to the micro, small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) in the province. The S&T complementation of support on
marketing and production to enhance the competitiveness of the firm-beneficiaries
has been the highlight of assistance. Three research and development projects of
the Pampanga Agricultural College (PAC) were also funded through the DOST-3 GIA.
Efforts were geared in support to the One Town One Product (OTOP) Program and
the Provincial Branding Project, Vida Pampanga! in partnership with the memberagencies of the Provincial SME Development Council, especially the Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI-Pampanga) and the Provincial Cooperative Enterprise
Development Office (PCEDO) of the LGU-Pampanga.
DOST interventions were made possible with the full support from the DOST RDIs,
like the ITDI, MIRDC, FNRI, FPRDI, etc.
Networking and complementation (partnership) with other organizations either from
the government or private sectors have always been our strategy in ensuring the
high impact to target beneficiaries of our projects/activities. This may be the reason
why the management nominated us for the Outstanding Provincial S&T Director
Award of the Department. Modesty aside, we were among the five finalists
nationwide.
We thank our partners for all these achievement in 2010.

(District 2)
Project Description :
This project primarily endeavored to improve the quality and enhance productivity of the Remzon’s Organic
Products & Deli Shop. Remzons manufactures Italian inspired-recipes of food products. Prior the SETUP corefunding assistance, processing of products was done in kitchen-scale although within a separate processing
area and facilities. The project components targeted to improve production efficiency and product quality to
be able to expand market reach.
Accomplishments and impact:
The project proposal has been approved in August. SETUP program’s conditions were deliberated during the
MOA signing on August 10, 2010. As a matter of priority, the multi-commodity solar dryer was acquired first
with its high expected impact in the firm’s production. The firm used to dry their raw materials with an
improvised dryer. Due to the inavailability of local stocks, the teabag machine will be delivered within the 1st
quarter of 2011. The third component on product and process improvement that includes the nutrition
analysis will be deferred until the new process has been fully adopted, while the concerns on the process
standardization have been addressed at minimal costs with the one-on-one consultations conducted in
coordination with DTI-Pampanga, thus, there have been savings on the project funds. These savings were
requested for the purchase of packaging materials instead.

Accomplishments and Impact:
CAPE engagements in Pampanga for 2010 covered two types of crops, the vegetables and the
aquaculture. One engagement prioritized the vegetable farmers in the Sta. Rita area. These thirteen
(13) farmers are users of compost that their Cooperative produces. Four other farmers using
compost in Lambac and Maquiapo in Guagua joined the engagement with the NDJ Agricons headed
by Dr. Norman de Jesus of the Pampanga Agricultural College (PAC). The other engagement covered
the aquaculture farmers in Masantol and Sto. Tomas. Three (3) fishpond operators completed the
engagement with Aquafutura Consultancy headed by Victor Emmanuel Estilo.
The seventeen (17) vegetable farmers who targeted to adopt organic agriculture were
provided technical assistance through the 200-sqm. demo-farms each in their respective farms. The
major intervention was the utilization of proven organic production system using trichoderma.
According to the NDJ, trichoderma is beneficial to farmers as follows:
1.)
Protects germinating seed, roots and emerging shoots from soil borne pathogens;
2.)
Effective against a large number of foliar diseases;
3.)
Economical and effective to use in the field;
4.)
Environment-friendly, non toxic, and non-habit forming to plants;
5.)
Ideal for organic farming, IPM and export oriented crops;
6.)
Used as seed dressing agent;
7.)
Has properties to induce systemic resistance in plants;
8.)
Can colonize the pathogenic host root system;
9.)
Helps the affected plant to grow again naturally and recover fully; and
10.) Has growth promoting properties.

PSTC-Pampanga 2010 Year-End Report
On the other hand, the three (3) fishpond owners were able to gain various technical
information in ensuring high quality and productivity of harvest. According to Mr. Estilo, pond
bottom soil preparation (usually neglected due to time constraints) is one great factor in ensuring
high productivity. Drying the pond bottom would hasten the mineralization of toxic substances
through rapid oxidation. This restores soil texture and fertility and helps prevent the build-up of
sludge. It also eliminates harmful pathogens through solar radiation and helps reduce the presence
of unwanted fish species in the pond bottom. (V.Estilo). Below is the short list of recommendations
made by the consultant. Although not all recommendations were adopted during the engagement,
the fishpond owners recognized the effect of the different techniques.

Impact and Accomplishments:
The engagement was officially implemented initially through the plant visits/assessments and
consultations on packaging held on 10 February and 8 March. The findings during the visits and
assessments became the bases of studies by the Japanese consultant (and the PTD transport team)
that were presented during the orientation training conducted on 10 March with seven (7) firms

Strategy II:
Human Resource Development Program
The human resource development priority is aimed at building S&T capabilities for the future
through focused programs in the higher education sector.
S&T Undergraduate Scholarship Program
Republic Act 7687 otherwise known as the S&T Act of 1994 was approved and enacted in
February 1994. It seeks to strengthen the country's science and technology manpower by
creating a pool of scientists, engineers, and technicians who shall fill the needs of
industrialization. Towards this end, scholarships are provided to finance the education of
talented and deserving students to pursue a degree or training in areas of science and
technology. DOST through the Science Education Institute (SEI) has been mandated to
directly implement the program. It has two specific sub-programs, RA-7687 (Program A) and
the DOST-SEI Merit Scholarships (Program B). Program A is intended for applicant whose
socio-economic status does not exceed the set values of certain indicators, e.g. family gross
income, electric consumption, food expenditure, etc. while Program B is for applicant whose
annual family gross income exceeds P156,600.00.
On-going scholars and applicants for the Scholarship programs are being processed and
assisted by the Regional Office staff on Science Education. The PSTC-Pampanga endorses walk-in and
phoned in concerns to the R.O.

Strategy III:
S&T Promotion, Information Dissemination,
Advocacy and Linkages
For PSTC-Pampanga, advocacy activities and linkages have been very effective and beneficial both to
the center and the partners. These initiatives were great contributors in achieving high impact
accomplishments. Consistent conduct of vigorous S&T promotion and information dissemination
campaign aimed at reaching the general public, policy makers and decision makers in government,
the S&T community (researchers, inventors, educators, extension workers and their support
personnel), the youth and the main employment generators of the country, the micro, small and
medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The aggressive linkages with other institutions and individuals were the main tools of the Center that
enhanced the attainment of accomplishments in the various S&T programs, the development of
capabilities that effectively carried out S&T activities, and the interaction between science and
society.
S&T Linkages
INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT AND LINKAGES
PROVINCIAL BRANDING PROJECT
The PSTC-Pampanga, together with other members of the technical working group (TWG) for the
“Vida Pampanga!”, continuously initiated projects and activities in support to the accredited firms. In
time for the transition within the Provincial administration, the TWG prepared the plans and
programs that were proposed and funded accordingly through the Provincial Cooperative and
Enterprise Dev’t. Office (PCEDO). Moreover, the PSTC-Pampanga ensured that the accredited firms
were prioritized in all programs of the Department.
PAMPANGA SME DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
PSTC-Pampanga has been active in participating to the Council’s planning sessions, meetings and
review activities. Partnerships were forged during these activities.
CITY SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD
The City Solid Waste Management Board was convened by the Hon. Mayor Oscar Rodriguez through
the City ENRO on 24 June 2010. PSTC-Pampanga was among the members to represent DOST.
Proposed programs/projects and activities on solid waste management were evaluated by the board
during regular monthly meetings every last Friday.
PSTC-Pampanga 2010 Year-End Report
One Town One Product
Program
The continuous implementation of the One Town One Product Program has been one of the
strategies of the PSTC-Pampanga in forging linkages with other agencies of the government and the
private sector. Projects and activities crafted in line with OTOP were usually prioritized. For this year,
two of the SETUP-core funded, two GIA-funded and two major technical assistance projects
benefitted OTOP SMEs.
DOST Regional Office No. 3 was the island’s nominee for the NATIONAL MOST SUPPORTIVE PARTNER
AGENCY held on 12 March during the National Congress at the PTTC, Pasay City.
BLESSING AND INAUGURATION OF THE PSTC-PAMPANGA BUILDING
The new building of the PSTC-Pampanga was blessed and formally inaugurated during the Launching
of the www.clmsme.net/showcase on 12 November 2010. As the second part of the program, the
blessing of the whole two-storey building was officiated by Rev. Fr. Daniel Baul and was witnessed by
