THE chief of the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (Searca) delivered an impassioned message to over 3,000 newly licensed agriculturists at their oath-taking ceremony at the Philippine International Convention Center on Jan. 20.
Also the 2024 Outstanding Professional of the Year in Agriculture, Searca Director Glenn Gregorio's inspiring remarks during the event hosted by the Professional Regulation Commission were timely as the agriculture sector celebrated a landmark achievement just days later with the Senate's passage of Senate Bill (SB) 2906, or the proposed Philippine Agriculturists Act, on Jan. 27.
