DOST-CAR 2011 Annual Report 1

Message “Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.” J.G. BALLARD

With the ever changing science and technology needs of the country today, our Honorable Secretary Mario G. Montejo has called for a “One Time, One Goal, One Direction, One Thinking” battle cry for the Department, starting year 2011.

In line with this unified direction, the DOST-CAR has pursued comprehensive and sustainable science and technology programs geared towards the development of livelihood opportunities and improvement of the quality of life of the people in the Cordillera Region.

We have, for the year prioritized the implementation of Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) and Community-Based Projects (CBPs) to benefit the firms and communities, repectively. Technology trainings, fora, and seminars have likewise been conducted for our cooperators and other beneficiaries in the region. Packaging and Labeling designs were provided to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in order to ensure that their products remain competitive in the market, both domestic and foreign.

S&T Promotion activities were highlighted by the conduct of the Regional Science and Technology Fair and Invention Contest cum Exhibit last September 27-29, 2011 at the Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet. Aside from giving a good venue to promote the merits of S&T to the general public, the invention contest was conducted to identify qualifiers from the region to represent CAR in the National Invention Contest cum Exhibition (NICE) in July 2012.

The DOST-CAR has also started to implement the “Clustering of the Regional Enterprises of CAR for Agri-Industrial Machinery and Parts Manufacturing”, a collaborative project designed to boost the growth of the metals and engineering industry cluster in CAR. The CREAMM project, which was supported by the DOST-CAR, involved several stakeholders from the government, academe and the private sector namely: DOST-MIRDC, MOOG Controls Corp., Metals Industry Association of the Philippines-CAR (MIAP-CAR) , TESDA-CAR, RDC-CAR, PEZA-CAR, Provincial Government of Benguet, LGUs of Baguio City, La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba and Tublay, University of Baguio, CIERDEC and its member agencies.

Chemical and Microbiological services through our Regional Standards and Testing Laboratory (RSTL) have likewise continued to provide the best laboratory services, not only to our customers in the region, but to nearby regions as well. We have, through our Human Resource Development Program continued to prioritize the capability enhancement of our staff, to be able to provide the best possible services to the people in the locality.

Such accomplishments shall become the yardstick in implementing new programs, projects and activities of the office in the years ahead.

SMALL ENTERPRISE TECHNOLOGY UPGRADING PROGRAM (SET-UP)

Economic policies has been geared in supporting and sustaining the growth of the manufacturing industry through the development of the micro, small and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs). The government has long acknowledged the role played by the MSMEs in the upliftment of the economic condition of the country particularly

in the less developed areas, through the development of MSMEs as well as to expand domestic markets and assist MSMEs in penetrating non-traditional markets for sustained growth and competitiveness.

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through the Small Enterprises Technology Upgrading Program supports such policy and has revitalized its services and programs to be more responsive to the needs of the MSMEs, focusing on the provision of innovative techno transfer programs to ensure that S&T will play a role in these MSME’s development. It is for this reason that the Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program or SETUP was implemented in 2002.

Specifically, DOST-CAR is committed to provide S&T interventions to MSMEs in the Cordillera Administrative Region to improve their productivity and enhance their competitiveness in both local and international markets. The agency promotes the adoption of technologies in view of poverty alleviation, and fostering growth and development in the countryside through the creation of livelihood opportunities. Through SET-UP, there are more focused programs of assistance for MSMEs. These programs enable the firm to address their technical problems through technology transfer and technological interventions to improve productivity through better product quality, human resource development, production cost reduction and waste management and other operation-related activities.

In July 2011, the SETUP NPMO devised two proposed schemes on how to fast track the evaluation of proposals, as instructed by Secretary Mario G. Montejo. Originally, the evaluation process was done by the different RDIs in Metro Manila which takes time before the approval. To hasten evaluation of new proposals, a new processing scheme has been adopted since September 2011. This new processing scheme involves evaluation of proposals by Third Party Review and Technical Evaluation Committee (3rd Party RTEC) composed of experts outside the DOST Regional Office. The new scheme further presupposes that the proposals are holistically evaluated to consider among others the technical, marketing, financial, and environmental aspects; the proposed Line-Item-Budget (LIB) are aligned with the identified S&T interventions; and utilization of local experts who are more familiar with the manufacturing settings in CAR. The whole evaluation process is shown below:

REGIONAL GRANTS IN AID PROJECTS:COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECTS

One of the major programs that was implemented for CY 2011 was the Community-Based Projects (CBP). Identifica-tion of CBPs were based on the DOST priority commodities. Others not under the DOST priorities were based on the regional, provincial and municipal development plans or niches. In addition, most projects were identified in

consultation with the local government units and other stakeholders.

Prioritization of projects were based on the sustainability of raw materials, marketability, and existing or new en-trepreneurial projects with better economic potential. Such projects were provided with S&T interventions such as tech-nologies including equipment, packaging and labeling, laboratory analysis, and technology trainings.

For CY 2011, a total budget of PHP1,506,329.00 was provided for the implementation of the following projects:

Science & Technology Promotion

2011 REGIONAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FAIR and INVENTION CONTEST cum EXHIBIT

The Regional Science and Technology Fair and Invention Contest cum Exhibit is the regional celebration of the Nation-al Science and Technology Week (NSTW). Previously called as the Philippine National Science Week in the 1950s, the NSTW was instituted by virtue of Presidential Proclamation 2214 in 1982 and has since become the platform of

informed exchanges on important S&T issues, developments, and locally developed technologies.

The theme of the NSTW keeps in step with current global challenges through the theme “Nasa Siyensya ang Pag-asa.” Specifically, the Regional S&T Fair showcased recent developments and achievements in science and technology. The S&T fora focused on varied topics such as organic vegetable production, furniture production, food production, soap making and radiation. The activity also included the “Sharing of Best Practices” from the DOST-CAR cooperators. This was a good venue for the cooperators to share actual experiences in their respective fields and encourage the participants, especially those planning to go in the business themselves.

It should be noted that this year’s S&T Fair is implemented by DOST-CAR in partnership with the Benguet State University. The S&T Fair is intended to create public awareness on S&T and encourage Filipino technopreneurship in the region through a highly interactive manner.

Again, the Benguet State University was tapped to be a partner in the S&T fair’s implementation through the pro-vision of the venues needed for the various activities lined up for the fair. In addition, the accommodation of participants and exhibitors from the DOST RDIs, SMEs and DOST Regions I and II were at Benguet State University.

Investors’ Forum and Technology Training

The Investor’s Forum and Technology Training was conducted from September 27-29, 2011 at the BSU Gladiola

Hall, La Trinidad, Benguet. One major highlight/innovation that was introduced in the conduct of the Investor’s Forum and Technology Training is the Sharing of Best Practices from DOST-CAR’s cooperators. Cooperators who are in the business of the particular training being conducted were given a chance to share their knowledge and experiences in the industry. This inclusion proved to be very beneficial, particularly for the participants since they were provided with a firsthand glimpse on the particular industry, should they decide to go into the business themselves.

Library Services

The DOST-CAR Regional Library continued to perform its function to provide S&T information services to the public.

For CY 2011, the library acquired 399 publications from the Department’s line agencies, government and private agencies and various Local Government Units (LGUs). The 399 publications comprised of 3,583 print cop-ies and 10 S&T-related CDs. Most of the print copies such as the PCARRD, MIRDC, PHILVOLCS, and SEI pamphlets were distributed to interested students, parents, school representatives and researchers.

A total of 40 instructional print materials and 92 video courses were provided by the Technology Re-source Center (TRC). These were very useful not only to researchers and enthusiasts, but also to small and me-dium entrepreneurs.

For the old library materials, 719 publications of STII, SEI, NRCP, PCARRD, Investigatory Projects, and ref-erence materials were inventoried, recorded and labeled. Out of these, 178 were encoded and uploaded to the OPAC.

Although the operation of the library was affected since there was no librarian from March to April, and the library was closed in the month of May as it was transferred to a more spacious room, it was still able to serve a total of 3,291 customers comprised of researchers, students, scholarship clients, scholars, and entrepreneurs coming from the different provinces of CAR. The eight (8) computers of the library served as Online Public Ac-cess Catalog (OPAC) and internet and encoding services; while the print materials provided S&T information and reference to researchers.


MIS / ICTDevelopment

http://car.dost.gov.ph/

http://car.dost.gov.ph/

The MIS consistently maintained stable network connectivity and reliable information systems in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness of DOST-CAR’s internal operations and the delivery of services to the public through ICT solutions. Full implementation of the Procurement & Inventory System that was developed in-house, including the

configuration of the newly acquired server were undertaken. Trainings and seminars on eDOST-INFRA and eDOST-INFOSYS were also attended. The DOST-CAR’s official website was continuously maintained and updated. Also, the VOIP phone was reactivated by ASTI personnel to help reduce long-distance call fees at the regional office.

In support to the department’s role in weather monitoring and disaster mitigation, the MIS unit together with the Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation Focal Person started the installation of Automatic Rain Gauges (ARGs) in the six (6) provinces of CAR and Baguio City. The ARG is a joint project of the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), both attached to the DOST. It was developed to gather and record the amount of rainfall over a set period of time and automatically send the data via SMS to a central based station on a pre-determined interval basis. On November 10, 2011 the ARG for Benguet was installed at the roof deck of the DOST-CAR office. Another was installed at the Agromet Site of KASC in Tabuk, on November 22, 2011. For Abra, it was installed at the Agromet Site of ASIST Lagangilang Campus on November 24, 2011. And before the year ended, one more gauging station was installed at the Mountain Province Government Center in Bontoc on De-cember 9, 2011. Installation in the provinces of Apayao and Ifugao, and Baguio City will be completed by the first quarter of 2012. The MIS’s functions were also extended to other agencies in the region. Technical assistance was provided to the Provincial Government of Ifugao in response to their request for their Network Operation Center, ICT Facility Assessment and Website Development plans. On November 8-12 of 2011, the MIS performed an assessment of the ICT equipment and network structure of the twenty nine offices of the town with a series of evaluation which included interviews with the different office heads. A Network Plan and Layout for the twenty nine offices in the capital town of Lagawe was then prepared and presented to the Office of the Governor. The province of Benguet was also assisted in routing its website’s domain name to the local ASTI DNS server. The province’s website is being hosted by a US-based company but routing this site to the Philippine Domain Name Registry had been their recurring problem.

Assistance was also constantly afforded to PAGASA-Baguio in the configuration and maintenance of their router and switch for the Sto. Tomas radar link to their central server in Manila. In addition, the MIS through the Office of the Re-gional Director participated and attended activities of the Baguio ICT Council and the Sub-Committee on Communications of the CAR Regional Development Council (RDC).

In addition to hybrid silkworm egg production, the sericulture center also maintained 18 strains of pure lines that were reared for two times during the year. To arrive at these targets, maintenance of the mulberry field had to be per-formed, such as pruning and harvesting of mulberry leaves during the months of July to December. In October 2011, weed-ing a portion of the mulberry field was done by around 150 students from the BSU Secondary Laboratory in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement signed between DOST-CAR and the school. In order to facilitate proper embryo development of silkworm eggs, acid treatment and incubation were also car-ried out. Other standard laboratory procedures were performed to produce eggs to meet orders from FIDA, BSU,SRDI, and Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College. FIDA serves as the conduit to farmers involved in sericulture by organizing farm production activities.

On February 2011, 20 layings each of parent silkworms (J102 andC102) were reared for the first hybrid egg produc-tion cycle (1st cropping). These activities were repeated in May to July (2nd cropping) and in October to December 2011 (3rd cropping). During these periods, rearing of the 18 mainlines were also included. Special orders for silkworm eggs were produced for the BSU Sericulture Project, sometime in June & October 2011.


Standard breeding activities were done to produce eggs that were properly kept in cold storage to wait for the next egg processing cycle. During the months of February, May & September 2011, test hatches were assessed to evaluate the hatching performance of the hybrid eggs. A test hatch was done for 100 eggs of SW3 and another 100 eggs of SW4 strains, then replicated 3X as shown below:

In January 2011, a total of 76 smears (12 mother moths per smear) of SW4 & 106 smears of SW3 hybrid eggs were subjected to microscopic examination to obtain disease-free eggs that were subsequently arranged in cold storage. In April 2011, thirty five (35) layings of C102 and thirty two (32) layings of J102 were moth examined. Another 130 smears of SW4 were microscopically examined in May 2011. A total of 128 smears of SW4 & 120 smears of SW3 hybrid eggs were subject to microscopic examination in August 2011. Eggs that were infected with the pebrine disease were then discarded and burned.

Clustering of Regional Enterprises for Agro-Industrial Machinery and Parts Manufacturing

(CREAMM-CAR PROJECT)

The Clustering of Regional Enterprises of CAR for Aerospace and Agro-Industrial Equipment and Parts Manufacturing (CREAMM) is a program of MIRDC purposely for the development of the metals and engineering industries of CAR,

thereby, producing products conforming to local and international standards. The role of the DOST-CAR is to assist MIRDC in the implementation of all project activities, and lead in the preparation of feasibility study and business plan to establish (a) a specialized business incubator for aircraft parts and other high technology requirements and (b) technology business incubator for the jewelry industry and other metal-based products.

For CY 2011, DOST-CAR was able to identify and assess CAR MSMEs/beneficiaries which were eventually organized to form the Cordillera Aerospace and Industrial Manufacturing Technologies, Inc. (CAIMTEC). The corporation is now duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The commitment of government and private agencies were solicited through the ratification of MOUs and MOAs. In fact, the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) among the stakeholders, LGUs of Benguet, CIERDEC members and DOST-MIRDC was signed during the press conference/Kapihan sa Benguet, organized by DOST-CAR last July 21, 2011.

A total of three (3) Technology Investment Fora and Consultation Dialogue were conducted with the Metal Industries in support to the project. Cluster plans and activities were likewise prepared and implemented such as the Study Tour of cluster members to various metal industries in Manila, Cavite and Laguna on August 15-18, 2011. A Training on 5S was conducted last October 18-20, 2011 with Engr. Edward Yapyapan of MOOG Controls Corporation as the resource speaker. Trainings on ISO, AS, PPC, etc. and a study tour on the metal industries in Singapore is now being coordinated. In addition, two (2) proposals (Capability Building and Feasibility Study on TBIs) were prepared and submitted to the Office of the Undersecretary for R&D, DOST.

Disaster Risk Reduction Activities

Consistent with RA 10121, the DOST-CAR is the vice-chair on the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Committee of the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (RDRRMC). The mitigation committee members were BAS,

BFAR, DOH, BFP, NHA, BPI, DAR, DBM, PRC, DEPED, DOT, DENR, POPCOM, LMP/ULAP, DTI, DILG, LRA, DPWH, AFP, NIA, PIA, DOLE, PICE-CAR, NCIP, COA, PAGASA, PHIVOLCS, and PNP. The role of the Mitigation Committee is to undertake structural and non-structural measures to reduce the impact of natural hazards, environmental degradation, and technological hazards.

The other RDRRMC committees are the Preparedness Committee, the Response Committee, and the Rehabilitation and Recovery Committee. The Regional Director of the Office of Civil Defense serves as the chairman of the RDRRMC. Thru the leadership of the OCD, several disaster risk reduction meetings and activities were conducted. Some of which were the Information Dissemination of RA 10121, Organization of the CRDRRMC, Development of Framework on DRRM, Hazard Mapping and Risk Vulnerability Assessments and others.

The Mitigation Committee’s Technical Working Group met last September 14, 2011 to discuss the committee’s plans for 2012. As a result, a conceptual framework on disaster prevention and mitigation was created.

For its contribution to disaster mitigation, the Department of Science and Technology – CAR had been involved in various disaster mitigation activities. On capability building, three (3) Hazard Risk Assessment Seminars were conducted for the enhancement of the various stakeholders’ knowledge and understanding on disaster hazards. Automatic Rain Gauges were installed in the CAR provinces for the monitoring of rainfall especially during extreme weather conditions. Assistance to communities was also made thru the provision of manual rain gauges, as well as training for the maintenance and monitoring of the equipment. With the help of TESDA, four (4) manual rain gauges were fabricated and are ready for deployment to disaster prone communities in the region.


OL-Trap Roll Out Activities

Aedes mosquitos, the carriers of the dengue virus can be effectively controlled by the use of Ovicidal Larval (OL) traps developed by the DOST. The OL trap consists of a black plastic cup half-filled with water and mixed with a pelletized

organic insecticide. The black colored trap naturally attracts female mosquitoes that eventually lay their eggs on a strip of lawanit board (slightly wider and longer than a popsickle stick) provided inside the full length of the cup. As the eggs hatch into larvae, these eventually fall into the water to continue their normal life cycle, but these are then killed systematically by the organic insecticide.

The effectiveness of these traps resulted in a nationwide roll-out program of the DOST. In the region, it was initially tested for 2,800 households at Barangay Pico, La Trinidad, Benguet and in partnership with the DOH-CAR, DILG-CAR, LGU La Trinidad, Benguet and the Barangay government of Pico, La Trinidad, Benguet. The OL pellets were distributed monthly with the help of barangay Pico kagawads and some barangay volunteers, including barangay health workers. Such activities concluded Phase I of the roll out program that was spearheaded by the Benguet PSTC.

In the phase II roll-out, a total of 500,000 OL traps were given directly to DOH to distribute nationwide. In this scheme, OL kits were directly given to DOH, while the monthly supply of pellets were released through the DOST regional offices. The DOST-CAR through PSTC-Benguet assisted in dispatching the OL Pellets to the DOH-CAR.

The third roll-out of OL Trap was in partnership with the Department of Education (DepED). For this school-based roll-out, there was an initial release of 4,000 OL kits given to hard stricken areas and schools within the region. In Benguet, 9 schools were identified as hard-stricken areas of La Trinidad namely; La Trinidad Central School, Buyagan Elementary School, Balili Elementary School, Lamtang Elementary School, Puguis Elementary School, Lubas Elementary School, Pico Elementary School, Longlong Elementary School and UCCP. Other schools in Tuba were also given OL traps kits: Salpang Elementary School, Taloy Norte Elementary School, Taloy Sur Elementary School, Mariano Savarino Elementary School and Poyopoy Elementary School. These schools were provided 6 months supply of OL pellets that will last until in March 2012.

In the other parts of the region, OL Traps were given to DepEd schools in Paracelis which was the hardest hit municipality in Mountain Province. All of the 35 DepEd schools in the Municipality (High Schools and Elementary) were given OL Traps with 6 months supply of OL pellets. In Tabuk City, a total of 1,000 OL Traps were released to DepEd through the PSTC-Kalinga because the city recorded heavy infection of dengue during the year.


S &T LinkagingCIERDEC

CIERDEC has effectively strengthened its role in the area of industry and energy R&D; more specifically through stepped-up linkaging, capability building, proposal generation, fund sourcing, and research monitoring.

Research & Development Coordination & Management For the year, the consortium received six (6) research proposals from the different R&D institutions in CY 2011. The proposals were evaluated and endorsed to PCIEERD, Office of the DOST Undersecretary for R&D, and CAR Regional Development Council (RDC). The proposal for “Skills Upgrading in Aerospace & High Technology Manufacturing Metals and Engineering Industry Cluster” was approved by the RDC, amounting to P 400,000.00. Furthermore a review of the completed researches was conducted jointly with the HARRDEC on August 11-12, 2011 during the 1st Joint HARRDEC-CIERDEC Symposium on R&D in Agriculture, Forestry, Natural Resources, Industry and Energy Sectors in the Cordillera. Under the CIERDEC industry concerns, there were 13 research papers presented during the review. Three projects proposed in 2010 were approved for implementation in 2011 by Benguet State University and Mountain Province State Polytechnic College. There were four (4) research sessions conducted and participated in by the consortium member agencies for 2011. Two (2) were locally conducted while the other two were in Malaysia and in Indonesia participated by the Benguet State University.

Industry and Energy R&D Agenda The CIERDEC member agencies have poured in considerable effort and resources in the formulation of the R&D Agenda for Industry and Energy. This document contains the set of priority areas for research in industry and energy in the Cordilleras and serves as the takeoff point for individual, institutional, as well as collaborative researches to help resolve socio-economic issues from the vantage point of the region’s limited technological, financial, and human resources in industry and energy. The Research and Development priorities are food and feed, energy, wood and forest products, metals and engineering, mining and minerals, textile, transportation, construction, environment, electronics, and telecommunications. The consortium presents this document as a guide for all researchers, professionals, students, and planners who may carry on the task of pursuing R&D activities for the benefit of uplifting the lives and socio-economic conditions of the Cordillerans.

Capability Building for Member Agencies The consortium together with the DOST-CAR, HARRDEC, and the Intellectual Property Office Philippines, conducted the Patent Drafting Seminars in three (3) State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the region. The SUCs include the Kalinga Apayao State College (KASC), Apayao State College (ASC), and the Benguet State University (BSU). Also the consortium, participated in various local trainings under energy, environment, disaster, food, decors and gifts, and Metals and Engineering.

Technology Promotion, Dissemination, and Adoption To continually apprise and increase awareness of the public on the activities and programs of the consortium particularly on R&D, several press releases were also given to the tri-media. Furthermore, the consortium actively participated as exhibitor during the celebration of the 2011 Regional S&T Fair and Invention Contest cum Exhibition on September 27-29, 2011 at the Benguet State University, Km 6, La Trinidad, Benguet and spearheaded the robotics competition under the open category.


The consortium took special participation in the establishment of the Clustering of Regional Enterprises of CAR for Agro-Industrial Machinery and Parts Manufacturing (CREAMM) together with MIRDC-DOST, Moog Controls Corporation, MIAP-CAR, PEZA-CAR, and LGUs from Baguio and Benguet. The consortium was also actively involved in addressing the special outsourcing needs of the aerospace and allied industries. Several meetings with multiple stakeholders, LGUs and government agencies were initiated until a Memorandum of Understanding was signed to support the project. The Cordillera Aerospace and Industrial Manufacturing Technologies Corporation (CAIMTEC) was then organized and registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC).

Network and Linkages The consortium, through its committees on R&D Coordination and Management, Technology Promotion and Utilization, Capability Building for Member Agencies, and Network/Linkaging was able to generate an annual fund of 1,965,084.00 for year 2011 and established its network with Moog Controls Corporation (MCC), Regional Development Council (RDC-CAR), Cordillera Aerospace and Industrial Manufacturing Technologies Corporation (CAIMTEC), PEZA-CAR and DOST-MIRDC under the CREAMM project.

CRHRDC

The Cordillera Regional Health Research and Development Consortium have accomplished the following for the year 2011:

Research & Development The consortium through the research management committee was able to disseminate the Regional Health Research Agenda in the context of the National Unified Health Research Agenda to one hundred percent (100%) of all the schools offering health science courses, health institutions both private and public. A total of thirty (30) institutions region wide were given a copy of the Regional Health Research Agenda. Furthermore, the Regional Research Fund Mechanism Guidelines (RRF) was completed and disseminated to targeted clients. The consortium also launched its Call of Research Proposals through web posting, invitation letters sent to academes and other health related institution and media broadcasting (Kapihan sa Baguio event). As a result, the activity yielded a total of eight (8) new research proposals. Two (2) research proposals entitled “Mothers’ Care and Caring for Mothers: Health and Well- Being of Women in Selected Communities of Benguet in the Context of Climate Change” and “The Prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms and the Perceived Quality of Life of Typhoon Disaster Survivors in Benguet Two (2) years after Typhoon Pepeng” were technically and ethically reviewed and approved, ready for funding. While, the rest of the research proposals were initially reviewed by the Research Management Committee for completion.

On the other hand, through the Ethics Committee, the consortium disseminated the National Ethical Guidelines of Health Research in CD form to all member agencies and other health related institutions.

Capability Building The consortium, through the leadership of the Capability Building Committee, focused its activities on providing members of the consortium and other health and health related professionals with the research knowledge, skills and access to information. This is with the end goal of enabling them to perform effectively in their organization along their mandate of conducting research to contribute to the health goals of the region. In so doing, they worked towards the long term objective of enabling individuals/teams/groups/organizations in health and health related sector/s to be more empowered in initiating, planning, managing, undertaking, organizing, monitoring and/or supervising and evaluating research activities. The springboard for the trainings planned is from the training needs assessment that was conducted among the member organizations of the consortium. The planned trainings/activities aimed at providing a better practice model for managing research learning and development processes across its members; foster a research learning culture for better academic and societal outcomes, to cite a few. The activities conducted by the Capability Building Committee for 2011 were activities that took off from the activities of the previous year. It should be noted that the activities conducted followed the research process. Thus, from the conceptual phase to the design and planning phase of the research process, this year focused on the Empirical and Data Analysis phases of the research process and publication.

Research Utilization The consortium through the leadership of the Research Utilization Committee is geared towards promotion and dissemination of conducted health researches to the public and other stakeholders to encourage its utilization and improve the health system of the region. In line with this goal, the committee was able to conduct two (2) major activities e.g. Kapihan sa Baguio Event and Communicating Research Findings Forum. The committee also maintains and updates its HERDIN database (http:// www.dost-car.herdin.ph) with the help of the CRHDRC Secretariat. To facilitate faster information dissemination among members, the consortium also created and maintained an official website, www.car.healthresearch.ph . The website was regularly updated with the consortium’s activities and disseminated to all the members.

Governance/Management The management committee was able to conduct two (2) planning workshops and two (2) regular quarterly meetings. The first planning workshop was held last May 06, 2011 at the Benguet State University participated by 22 members to tackle the following; (1) Finalization of the MOA, (2) Review of the consortium’s work plan for CY 2011. (3) Redirection/ restructuring of the Regional Health Research Framework. The second planning workshop was done last July 22, 2011 at the University of the Philippines- Baguio to finalize the 3 year Research and Development Plan 2012- 2014, 3 year CRHRDC Operational Plan 2011-2014 and Accomplishment for the last 3 years (2008 -2010).

Health Care

In coordination with the Health Center of the Municipality of La Trinidad, Benguet, fourteen (14) female employees ages 24 to 40 years old availed of the Tetanus Toxoid Supplemental Immunization. The first and second doses were given last July and August 2011. The third dose was scheduled to be given in February 2012.

In compliance to RA8439, otherwise known as “An Act Providing a Magna Carta for Scientists, Engineers, Researchers and Other S&T Personnel in Government”, particularly Section 10, the amount of two hundred ninety five thousand (P295, 000.00) was allotted by the agency for its Health and Wellness Program, providing free annual medical check-up for its employees. This is also in line with Civil Service Commission Circular No. 21, series of 2009.

Gender and Development

The agency participated in the celebration of the Women’s Month in March 2011 at the Baguio Convention’s Center. A Commitment was signed by the different National and Local Government Agencies supporting the Magna Carta for Women.
