DILIMAN, QUEZON CITY — The region's distinctive crop, pili, is the centerpiece of the Center's Model Strategies and Programs along the value chain, acclaimed as great and very impressive.

The recognition was given during the Mentoring and Coaching Session for the Development of Extension and Training Roadmap for Priority Commities (Luzon Chapter) conducted by ATI-Central Office on June 4-6, 2024.

Quite fitting for the tree nut whose name also means 'choose' in the Bicol dialect!

Thank you Agricultural Training Institute Director Remelyn Recoter and Deputy Director Niet Jamon Arceo as well as ATI Bicol Center Director Elsa Ani Parot for the inspiration!
