On September28, another agriocultur-al program was conduct-ed dubbed as Technol-ogy Forum cum seminaron SP Using CPM.

It was held inBinukawan, Bagac,Bataan with 59 farmers

in attendance to availof the said training pro-gram.

The followingday, September 28,2012, a training on aer-obic rice technology wasconducted. Fifty (50)farmers were trained

under this activity heldat the Farmers TrainingCenter in BPSU AbucayCampus.

Aerobic rice tech-nology was first intro-duced in the Philippinesby the International RiceResearch Institute (IRRI)approximately ten years

ago.Field trials and

experiments were es-tablished in the provinc-es of Tarlac and NuevaEjica. The technologyshowed favorable im-pacts. Its potentials, aswell as the challengesthat could befall, wereidentified.

It was found outthat while aerobic ricetechnology could helpreduce water require-ment by 30-50% duringthe dry season therebydecreasing input cost,the yield could declineby 15-20%.

species and mangrovetrees in a semi-enclosedsystem. In many regions,the trainees are taughtpen design and construc-tion and mudcrab culture.The culture system helpsin providing alternativelivelihood to fisherfolkwhile instilling in them the

value of coastal protec-tion and maintenance ofthe ecosystem.The Bataan Peninsula

State University is one ofthe chosen state universi-ties and colleges (SUCs)which were chosen totake part in the said na-

Comprehensive Health Programs

Conducted in Various Areas of BataanProviding health ed-

thrusts of the Lakbay-Ka-

of the rst universities in

Central Luzon that offered

health courses such as nurs-

on disseminating health

programs in the entire prov-

Sitio Bani in Cat-aning, Balanga City is one

of the major recipients of

health programs of the Of-

ce of Extension services

Balanga Campus. Being

an adopted barangay of the

university, the said barangay

is a primary recipient of ex-

tension programs sponsored

by the university. Last July

3, 2012, a seminar on breast-self examination was con-

individuals in attendance;

seminar on cervical can-

cer (July 10, 2012), with

33 women in participation;

seminar on asthma (July 12,

2012) with 32 participants,

mostly mothers; seminar

on safe motherhood (July

individuals in attendance;

lectures on the protection of

ness seminar (July 27) with

93 residents attending the

very signicant campaign;

and a seminar on testicular

self-assessment (July 31)with 26 male residents of

the said barangay in attend-

ance.

The said series of

programs were conducted

to provide a holistic or com-

plete health awareness pro-

gram among the residents

of Bani, Cataning, Balanga

health programs are givenin full with emphasis on the

identied needs of the peo-

ple in the area.

According to Mrs.
