OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY EllIptical ROAD, DILIMAN 1100 QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES MESSAGE Maligayang bati sa inyong lahat sa ika-30 taong anibersaryo ng PhilRice! Hindi matatawaran ang mga nagawa ng PhilRice upang patuloy na mapaunlad ang industriya ng bigas sa ating bansa. Sa pamamagitan ng masusing pananaliksik at pagbabahagi ng mga makabagong teknolohiya at kaalaman, patuloy na tumataas ang kalidad ng ani at kita ng ating mga magsasaka. Ang inyong tuluy-tuloy na pagpapalahi ng mga rice varieties, pagbuo ng mga makinarya at iba pang angkop na teknolohiya ay mahalagang bahagi ng ating paghahanda at serbisyo sa mga magsasaka. Akmang-akma ito sa ating pagharap sa mga hamon ng pagbabago ng klima at sa buong kaganapan ng ASEAN economic integration. Mahalaga na ang ating mga magsasaka ay magkaroon ng kakayahang makipag-kumpetensya sa mga bansang bahagi ng ASEAN at maging sa ibang bansa sa kalakalan ng mataas na kalidad ng bigas sa tamang halaga. Napakalaking bagay ang inyung kontribusyon sa ating narating na mula sa pagiging world’s number 1 rice importer patungo sa pagkilala ng USDA noong taong 2014 bilang nangunguna sa pagpapadami ng bigas sa buong mundo, at taon-taong record high ang harvest ng ating magsasaka. Nawa’y magsilbing inspirasyon sa inyong lahat ang nakaraang 30 taon at mas malayo pa ang inyong marating sa pagtuklas ng mga mabisa at mahusay na pamamaraan at teknolohiya para sa mga magsasakang Pilipino. Hinihikayat ko kayo na higit na pagsisikap pa ang ating gawin upang matamasa natin ang gantimpalang siksik, liglig at umaapaw. Sa ngalan ng PhilRice Board of Trustees, ako’y nagpupugay at nagpapasalamat sa inyong pakikiisa sa mga programa ng Kagawaran ng Pagsasaka. Kami ay patuloy na sumusuporta sa inyo para sa tagumpay ng PhilRice. Mabuhay! PROCESO J.

Philrice 30th anniversary souvenir Program 5 OFFICE OF THE MAYOR LUNGSOD AGHAM NG MUÑOZ LALAWIGAN NG NUEVA ECIJA MESSAGE My warmest greetings and congratulations to the Philippine Rice Research Institute in celebration of your 30th Anniversary on November 5-6, 2015! PhilRice is among the major pillars of the Science City of Muñoz. Its prominence is not out of nothing. It is the leader in rice R&D in the whole country. Muñoz is privileged to host PhilRice. Along the national highway, one cannot not notice the proliferation of rice seed centers, making the Science City a major rice seeds hub in the Philippines. This certainly creates a domino effect in terms of livelihood creation from people manning the ricefields, sales agents, to the many of input dealers in the City. Our rice seeds reach the ricefields in far-flung provinces in Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. PhilRice, we know, has something to do with it. We thank PhilRice as it has significantly contributed to increasing diversity in the Science City of Muñoz. The City, through PhilRice, has welcomed hundreds of highly schooled researchers from all over the country and many parts of the world. We are also aware of the excellent work PhilRice is doing in collaborating with knowledge and learning institutions abroad, contributing to enriching the culture of science in Muñoz. We are ready for the years ahead—with PhilRice. The people of the Science City of Muñoz, particularly our farmers, anticipate the exciting things to come—new high-yielding varieties, state-of-the-art rice farming technologies, and long-lasting friendship with the present and future leaders and personnel of PhilRice. NESTOR L. ALVAREZ Mayor ..... 6 Philrice 30th anniversary souvenir Program Philippine rice research institute MALIGAYA, SCIENCE CITY OF MUÑOZ, 3119 NUEVA ECIJA MESSAGE I would like to congratulate PhilRice on its 30th anniversary and am deeply honored to be given the opportunity to lead the country’s finest rice R&D institute. For the past three decades, PhilRice has taken on the important role of providing a strong and innovative science and technology-based approach in helping increase the productivity and profitability of our country’s rice farmers. Not a simple task by any means. And not something we can accomplish without working together with both government and private entities. Through the years, PhilRice has been renowned for developing yield-enhancing and cost-reducing technologies. It has collected various awards and citations for its achievements both locally and internationally. It has conducted numerous activities to promote rice technologies and information. Its publications, campaigns, and other contributions to rice science given due recognition. But let us not forget what made all these possible; the hard work and dedication of the men and women who made this institute what it is today. This milestone, this celebration, was made possible by all of you. The foundation of this institute is not made of steel and stone. It was made by the efforts of all the men and women within this institute who tirelessly and unselfishly dedicated their lives to help our rice farmers. Despite all these remarkable accomplishments, we must remain vigilant amid the constant challenge of providing rice to millions of Filipinos and the betterment of the quality of life of our rice farmers. Let us not rest on our proverbial laurels but continue to strive to outdo ourselves to help our clients and stakeholders and continue to invest in groundbreaking R&D, new rice-based technologies and most importantly, invest in our staff. Once more, I wish to congratulate everyone at PhilRice on our 30th anniversary. Let us continue to make headway towards making a reality of the vision of abundant food on the plate of every Filipino family. CALIXTO M. PROTACIO PhilRice Executive Director .....

Philrice 30th anniversary souvenir Program 11 SRO Seminar Series on Research Management and Institution-Building Speaker’s Profile DR. EDGARDO D. GOMEZ Professor Emeritus (Marine Biology) Marine Science Institute University of the Philippines Diliman Dr. Gomez is a Filipino biologist who was conferred the rank of National Scientist in 2014 for his research and conservation efforts in invertebrate biology and ecology. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in education, major in English and Social Science (summa cum laude) from De La Salle University, his master’s degree in Biology as a Fulbright Travel Grantee from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, and doctorate degree in Marine Biology from University of California in San Diego. Dr. Gomez broke new grounds in the 1970s upon the inception of the Marine Sciences Center of UP Diliman with him as the founding director. With assets amounting to no more than two sheets of paper, he developed it into what is known today as the UPMarine Science Institute (UP-MSI) by recruiting staff that embodied the same virtues that he deemed important—honesty, openness, and collegiality. Furthermore, his optimism, determination, and self-confidence were crucial in overcoming the usual hurdles that accompany the task of institution-building. After two decades of hard work, UP-MSI was recognized as the National Center of Excellence in the Marine Sciences and subsequently as the first and only Center of Excellence (COE) in Marine Science under the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) COE scheme of promoting and rewarding scientific excellence. By 1998, the institute had produced 20 ISI-indexed publications yearly, averaging 1.2 per senior staff. One of the institute’s strengths was its ability to draw research funding from national and international sources. Dr. Gomez’s vision, patience, and dedication helped put the Philippines on the center stage of marine science research. He has received numerous awards, both before and after becoming a member of the National Academy of Science and Technology, among them the UNEP Global 500 Roll of Honor, the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award, and the UP Concepcion Dadulfalza Award for Distinguished Achievement. These awards are testimonials to his outstanding leadership in the MSI and the Filipino scientific community. ..... 12 Philrice 30th anniversary souvenir Program SRO Seminar Series on Research Management and Institution-Building 5 November 2015, 2:00 – 4:00PM Social Hall INVOCATION Dr. Eduardo Jimmy P.

Philrice 30th anniversary souvenir Program 13 Dangal ng PhilRice Awarding Ceremonies Speaker’s Profile LENI ROBREDO Representative, Third District of Camarines Sur Human rights lawyer, Maria Leonor Gerona-Robredo, emerged in the public eye with the loss of her husband, former Naga Mayor and Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo in 2012. She was at the time already a veteran public attorney at the Public Attorney’s Office, working with civil society organizations and defended cases of the poor, which she worked mostly pro bono. Leni Robredo became the representative of the Third District of Camarines Sur in 2013 after she was persuaded to consider the political life, with a continuing commitment to her three daughters to remain the caring mother she set out to be at the start of her married life. Her record in Congress demonstrates a consistent focus on empowerment, across a wide range of concerns, from systematizing citizens’ organizing to delivery of basic services to the poor and addressing structural inequality. Some of the bills she filed in the House of Representatives are: National Food Security Bill of 2015, Anti-discrimination Bill of 2013, People’s Participation in Budget Deliberation Bill, People Empowerment Bill of 2014, Full Disclosure Bill, and the Freedom of Information Bill. She also serves as Senior Vice Chair of the Committee on Revision of Laws and Vice Chair of the Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability. She is an active member of the Appropriations, Human Rights, Local Government, People’s Participation, Public Information, Rural Development, Suffrage and Electoral Reforms, Welfare of Children, Women and Gender Equality, Bicol Recovery and Economic Development, and Land Use committees. Leni Robredo graduated from the University of the Philippines School of Economics in 1986, before she took up her degree in Law from the University of Nueva Caceres in 1990. During her term as coordinator of Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panligal (SALIGAN) in Naga City in 2007, the office was awarded the Kabalikat ng Bayan Award for its exemplary efforts to achieve sustained growth and development through paralegal education and networking. The Volunteer Against Crime and Corruption, a non-government organization working to eradicate crime and corruption in the country, recognized her as the Most Outstanding Private Prosecutor in 2009. Leni Robredo remains one and the same person in her various dimensions as public servant, advocate, public defender, and mother. She is a nation-builder concentrating on the fundamentals: the grassroots, women and children, and the poor. ..... 14 Philrice 30th anniversary souvenir Program Dangal ng PhilRice Awarding Ceremonies 6 November 2015, 8:00 – 11:00AM Farmers Reception Hall Doxology and National Anthem CLSU Maestro Singers Opening Remarks Dr. Manuel Jose C.
