Higher Education Development Fund Staff of the Commission on Higher Education Spearheads the Inspection and Turnover of RISE Capiz Project Equipment
The Higher Education Development Fund Staff (HEDFS) had a sense of purpose when they began their accountability trip. Led by Director Rogelio T. Galera Jr., alongside Ms. Diana C. Aguilar, Ms. Angel Mae V. Casava, and Mr. Renz Arjay B. Alabado, the team geared up to facilitate the inspection, tagging, and turnover of equipment procured under the RISE Capiz Research and Development Program on April 29, 2024. Together with the HEDFS is Dr. Greg from CHEDRO VI.
At the core of the RISE Capiz Project lies the mission of educational transformation, which is led by hardworking Project Leader and University Research Director Dr. Leo Andrew B. Biclar. RISE CAPIZ: Riverine Improvement towards a Sustainable Ecotourism in Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines, which aims to address the gaps, issues, and requirements of Roxas City's riverine residents. It intends to support three riverine communities.
The HEDFS team initiated the inspection process with a courtesy call from the University President, Dr. Editha C. Alfon, underscoring the importance of transparency and accountability.
HEDFS sets the RISE Capiz office equipment inspection and tagging at CAPSU Dayao and Central. The HEDFS team devoted significant efforts to the precise planning and detailed implementation of the Dayao for the equipment tagging and inspection phase of the CAPSU. In the backdrop of educational development, the team paid great attention to accuracy by precisely documenting the characteristics and condition of each office equipment. This initial phase enabled an efficient asset management system and created roadmaps for future operations and maintenance strategies, which are of great importance for the project's longevity. The HEDFS proceeds to CAPSU Central to continue the inspection and tagging of office equipment. Then, turn over the office equipment.
The RISE Capiz R&D program dispersed milkfish fingerlings to the Cadimahan river tour operator on September 5, 2022. The monitoring and ongoing efforts have been established to develop sustainable fishing practices while promoting ecotourism, allowing visitors to experience local culture and cuisine supporting the local economy.
Dr. Leo Andrew B. Biclar, Research Director at Capiz State University and program leader of RISE Capiz, together with the fisherfolks of Cadimahan river tour operators, harvested the milkfish on March 2, 2023, at midnight in Cadimahan Roxas City.
The milkfish, also known as "bangrus,” is a popular marine species with its delicate flavor and nutritional value using the traditional methods that have been implemented in the practices. The RISE Capiz program aims to enhance the resilience of riverine communities through sustainable ecotourism.
The fisherfolks used bamboo sticks to form structures as part of their traditional practices that allow water to flow freely while preventing the fish from escaping in harvesting. The milkfish are sorted according to size and sold to markets. The income generated from the harvested milkfish provides a significant livelihood source for the riverine communities, supporting their families and sustaining their way of life.
In the RISE Capiz program, these practices are promoted and enhanced, ensuring the riverine communities and the environment continued well-being. The program has chosen responsible and sustainable tourism options, contributing to the local economy and gaining a deeper understanding of our places' cultural and environmental heritage.
