Under the leadership of SUC President Dr. Edward Lovell B. Brillantes, SCSC continues to prioritize collaborative research frameworks designed to directly empower rural farming and fishing communities. The college delegation—comprising Research Director Dr. Dexter C. Necor, Institute of Agriculture Dean Dr. Mylene Grace C. Denona, BS Entrepreneurship Program Chair Ms. Teresa M. Lachica, MAST, and Production Director Reymart Jade B. Gavileno, MSc—represented the institution across all modules to support SCSC’s ongoing MINSUPALA-IRDC Phase 3 research projects.

The intensive curriculum delivered practical training in maximizing the market value of indigenous crops and seafood, protecting research discoveries through intellectual property, commercializing laboratory output, and mastering public speaking to communicate scientific findings to key stakeholders. Delegates also participated in strategic planning for the upcoming 2nd Mindanao Forum, conducted a courtesy visit to the Provincial Governor, and joined local cultural exposure tours. The advanced skills gained during the summit will directly optimize SCSC’s Phase 3 study operations, helping establish a more resilient and innovative agricultural and marine ecosystem in the region.
