To align priorities and reinforce strong partnerships among the pillars of extension in the region, DA-ATI CALABARZON successfully conducted the “Translating Nexus into Action: Regional Consultative Meeting for FY 2026,” with representatives from the National Government Agencies (NGAs), State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), Provincial Local Government Units (PLGUs), and private extension partners across CALABARZON.
The activity highlighted the Center’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 accomplishments, underscoring that the successes of DA-ATI CALABARZON were made possible by the collaborative efforts of its partners.
The Center also presented the DA-ATI policy directions for FY 2026, plan of activities, and the identified training needs of partners—serving as a platform to strengthen collaboration and ensure that extension initiatives remain responsive, coordinated, and impact-driven.
Center Director Dr. Rolando V. Maningas, opened the program by emphasizing the importance of unity and partnership in transforming plans into concrete actions that benefit farmers, fisherfolk, and agri-stakeholders.
He also underscored “nexus” as the vital connection of ideas, institutions, and actions working together toward a stronger, more resilient agricultural sector.
