I           -   OVERVIEW

            Aces Polytechnic College is a private educational institution operating degree and non-degree courses located at Panabo City, Davao Province. It was established in 1993 under a corporate name of Southern Mindanao Institute of Technology with an enrollment of 33 students all in technical courses.  The school was elevated into a full College status in the mid-2000 where it offered degree programs in BS Information Technology, BS Hotel and Restaurant management, BS Business Administration, BS Criminology.  In 2009, and 2010, the College was registered by TESDA in Agro-fishery programs, particularly Aquaculture NC II and ACES Natural Farming Technology Level I. Since then up to this writing, Aces Polytechnic College is the only TESDA registered school operating an NTR in Natural/Organic Farming in the country with accredited trainer. In 2012, the College was accredited Private Extension Service Provider (ESP - National Level) by the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) of the Department of Agriculture. From then, it conducted several training programs approved and funded by ATI.

            This report covers the summary of training programs and other engagements; Analysis of Training Evaluation; Acceptability, Relevance and Usefulness of the Training to the needs of the participants; and Observations and Recommendations. It also attempts to manifest the effectiveness of the training intervention in order to support the provisions of RA# 10068, otherwise known as the Organic Agriculture Act of 2010 and make an immediate push in terms of advocacy and technology components in the production of healthy food under an environment friendly modality. Such move is imperative to ensure that the farmers and consumers’ mind sets are all leveled off in a manner that the demand for healthy food is supplied timely and appropriately.

        The move of the ATI to tap the services of qualified ESP is a laudable undertaking to assist them in the voluminous tasks of training the agricultural sector in the new technology. However, this move is f aced by several problems, such as qualification and selection. There are many willing groups but fall short of qualifications, on the other hand, some are qualified and capable but are not willing to participate. Aces Polytechnic College participation in the ESP is focused on the training of farmers and technicians who want to produce healthy food. While it may offer social technology programs, ACES shall take the lead for natural and organic agriculture in the extension services. With some initiatives, ACES made partnerships to other groups who have the capability in extension services in the Visayas and Luzon areas so that it can provide such services as an accredited national level ESP of the Agricultural Training Institute.


II          Summary of Training/Engagement Conducted

            There were 5 trainings/engagements conducted by ACES in a span of 9 months from April to December, 2012 with a total cost of P4, 633,000.00 funded by ATI and a total counterpart of P 548,000.00 from LGUs. It covers 4 Regions in the Visayas and Mindanao and 1 project (development of TR in Organic Agriculture NCII) nationwide. The ESP trained around 513 persons with an average per capita cost of P9, 031.00, Table 1.

      including the cost of constructing the model business farm and its inputs.

**   The total amount ATI paid to the ESP for the food, accommodation, and 
      other training cost such as supplies and materials, trainers, etc. of the 
      participants while at the training center.

*** The training is completed pending the submission of documents to ATI
      RO-VI. Only 50% of the total training fee is collected by the ESP.


            The first engagement which is the development of the training regulation for the Organic Agriculture Production NC II were done in several time intervals in order not to disrupt the regular assignments of the ATI officers, TESDA and ACES. While there was an agreed plan to implement the project, it was revised from time to time to suit the availability of TESDA personnel, their ISO protocols, etc. The number of meetings exceeded from the plan and additional expenses were unavoidable, however the ESP managed to fit whatever amount was reflected in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered by and between ACES and ATI.

            The ultimate output of the engagement is to prepare the training regulation for the qualification on Organic Agriculture Production NC II with 3 Core Competencies and 2 Elective Competencies as leverage in the offering of such qualification in the non-pork eating constituents. The Training Regulation for Organic Agriculture Production NC II was promulgated on November 19, 2012 which formally ended the engagement of ACES to ATI for this project. The significance of this project lies on the fact that TESDA is the only government agency which can promulgate training regulations, register technical programs, assess and certify qualifications in all technical programs. With this on hand, Filipino farmers can be certified and probably employed in big companies here and abroad with certification that they possess the necessary competencies of the said qualification. The agricultural sector is also assured of quality training and delivery mode because everything undergoes hectic scrutiny to include the training centers, facilities and trainers.

            The other training programs were intended for organic agriculture cum livelihood which includes the raising of organic hogs, chicken, goats, preparation of organic fertilizers and concoctions. The time duration is 15 days where 8 days is conducted at the ACES training center and the remaining 7 days is for the technology application at the participants’ area of coverage. This training modality reinforces the theory and practice all conducted at the model business farm. It goes beyond the usual methods where the fresh knowledge gained is applied immediately to the participants’ farms. It was observed to be successful and practical.

            Every training program was properly evaluated using the ESP’s instrument, copy attached in the appendices. The results of the evaluation are discussed in the succeeding pages. There is also a certificate of completion and acceptance signed by the concerned Regional ATI Office/LGU for every training program conducted manifesting among others that the program is carried out according to the proposal and seen to be relevant and viable for the community.



Training Photos:

1. Development of Training Regulations (TR) on Organic Agriculture Production NC II

Dr. Frank de la Peña, Jr. presented the proposed Training Regulation on Organic Agriculture Production NC II before the TESDA Board at the TESDA Board room. It took him to present three times before it got a nod from the Board. The TR development was a tedious task collectively done by ATI, TESDA, ACES and other stakeholders.






Director Asterio P. Saliot of the Agricultural Training Institute - Central Office, Training Center Director Richard Rubis of ATI Region XI, Ms. Evelyn Tagud of ATI-CO and Dr. Frank de la Peña jointly tasted the organic concoctions prepared by them to ensure that he product is free from toxic residues. This picture was taken at the Aces natural Farming Institute during the mandatory organic agriculture training for the TR.

After 3 months of hard work, the Organic Agriculture Production NC II becomes a piece of work that will guide and regulate the offering of Organic Agriculture in the Philippines with the assurance of quality acceptable globally. Dr. de la Peña and Director de la Rama exchange pleasantries after its approval.


2.  Organic Agriculture Training cum Livelihood 
     Matina, Davao City and Peda, Panabo City

The participants of this training program consist of Bajao (water dwellers), marginalized farmers, religious groups and the poor sector of the society. They were preparing concoctions to extract growth enzymes from the leaves and steam of fast-growing plants. It shall form part of the daily feed ingredient of livestock.






Production of organic vegetables is part of the training program where the 

routine tasks such as cleaning, measuring and feeding hogs is part of the daily activities of the participants. The provision of vegetable trimmings and plant leaves are part of the hogs’ diet. In this picture, the participants gave plant leaves as the hogs’ snack for the day.







 3.  Organic Agriculture Training cum Livelihood 
     Marihatag, Surigao Del Sur


The participants just finished extinguishing the fire during the production of Carbonized Rice Hull (CRH). The CRH can be used for organic fertilizer component, organic feeds and mulching medium. The method is called pyrolysis where it restricts oxygen in the burning process from rice hull to carbon.





This is the pig house constructed by the LGU Marihatag participants. The Municipal Agriculturist and technical staff, POs, NGOs, farmers, technicians and the Municipal Mayor were among the participants of this training program. This is a technology application of the 15-day training on Organic Agriculture.






 Mayor Leo Navarro of LGU Marihatag, Surigao del Sur (in black T-shirt) took the lead in the construction of organic chicken house in the model business farm of the Municipality. Other participants were at the pig house construction area.









4.  Organic Agriculture Training cum Livelihood
     Naga City, Cebu


This is a pose of the DepEd Naga City participants after the closing program. The participants of this training were Assistant Regional Director, Superintendent of School, Division Supervisors, Principals, Technology Teachers, City Agriculture staff and farmers. The  background is the model business farm.






The DepEd officials were doing organic gardening and other farm works in preparation for the K to 12 basic education program of DepEd. It is very important that the educators themselves must have a first- hand knowledge and skills in organic agriculture before they teach their students to ensure relevant education.

The participants at DepEd Naga City, Cebu were preparing the organic vegetable garden together with Director Asterio P. Saliot, ATI-CO Director at Naga City Schools Division Organic Agriculture Model Business Farm. Director Saliot holding a pail full of organic fertilizer for use in the garden.


III         Analyses of Training Evaluation

            Every training program conducted by ACES – ESP is appropriately evaluated using its own evaluation instrument with the following components, to wit: Training Design, Methodology, Resource Persons and Food and Accommodation, copy of the Evaluation Form attached as appendices. The participants are asked to rate according to their reactions to the above-mentioned components to guide the ESP where and how to improve their services.

The numerical rating is equated with the adjectival rating ranging from unsatisfactory to outstanding as indicated below.

4.6 - 5.0 - Outstanding
3.6 - 4.5 - Very Satisfactory
2.6 - 3.5 - Satisfactory
1.76 - 2.5 - Needs Improvement
1.0 - 1.75 - Unsatisfactory­

            Table 2 shows that with the four training/engagement (fifth training program is not included in this report since it is not yet completed and payment is partially paid), the ESP made a consistent outstanding performance in terms of training design, methodology, resource persons, and food and accommodation. The participants have consistently rated the ESP in various batches in different regions as outstanding. The general comments of the participants are the following: 95% as excellent training, 90% as the best seminar they ever attended and 98% they will recommend to friends to  attend such training.

In matters of acceptance from the local ATI office/LGUs, it appears that the training program goes beyond their expectations considering its implication to the agricultural sector, particularly on organic/natural farming system, copy of the certificate of acceptance and completion is attached in the appendices.


IV        Acceptability, Relevance and Usefulness of the
            Training Program

            The enhanced training strategy that we jointly implement (8 days center technology presentation and modeling plus 7 days technology application to the participants’ farms) has made the program very relevant and effective considering that the fresh knowledge is put into practice immediately. The community where we have conducted the technology application (Cebu, Marihatag, Davao, etc.) welcomed this training modality. According to them, it hones the technical skills of the participants  right in their hometown and offered them the opportunity to refine such skills at least within 7 days where the trainers are with them.

            The model project which is left at the participants’ farm serves as their tangible accomplishment. Other community members are afforded the life size project where they can benchmark and duplicate the same livelihood project. Having constructed the project by themselves, the participants definitely booster their confidence and make a seamless replications wherever applicable.

            Since the model project can be easily replicated through the use of indigenous materials, hog house, chicken house, etc., interested farmers and would-be farmers can benefit its establishment in the community and expand its usefulness through the sharing of technical know-how. The demand of healthy food cannot be ignored where the supply is inadequate for the time being, is an opportunity to venture into these projects. The usefulness of the technology for organic/natural agriculture cannot be over emphasized; it is evidently glaring from the sight of those who see the future of a healthy conscious society where the Philippines is not exempted.




Figure 1. Community Perception on the Training Program

            The ESP has conducted a cursory Community Perception study using a self prepared questionnaire to ensure that the training program has an impact to the community in terms of acceptability, relevance and usefulness. It appears that the program has a 40% acceptability, 30% for relevance and usefulness. The recipients were the participants of the training program in various areas.


V         Observations and Recommendations

            After nine months of conducting training with ATI fund assistance as ESP and more than 2 years of agro-fishery training in TESDA registered programs, we have these observations to share:

1.    Trainee’s interests and inclinations must be considered in selecting participants;
2.    Heterogeneous groupings of participants (marginalized farmers, technicians, entrepreneurs, etc.) can be more productive and practical;
3.    Budget for training is only inclusive of food and accommodation;
4.    Payment of national level ESP is bureaucratically channeled to Regional ATI; and
5.    Absence of periodic meeting among service providers with ATI.


            To address these observations, we are offering these recommendations in order to facilitate transaction and minimize redundancy:

1.    Profiling of participants is necessary to get the real worth of government funds;
2.    The inclusion of entrepreneurs and businessmen with the marginalized farmers can create a dynamic business opportunity because the businessmen can invest in agriculture while their farmers co-participants can provide the labor;
3.    Budget for training must include professional fee of trainers aside from food and accommodation in order to avail the services of the brightest and the best among trainers;
4.    Payment of national level ESP must be downloaded directly to them to expedite transaction and preclude duplication of documents;
5.    There must be a periodic meeting of service providers with ATI as a venue for sharing of experiences, problem solving and success stories.
