MSU at Naawan Explores New Collaboration with Barangay Tagbalogo for Sustainable Development

As a catalyst for change, MSU at Naawan actively fosters collaboration with key stakeholders to promote local development.

On January 17, 2024, Mariefe B. Quiñones, the Director for Extension, took part in the Barangay Council session of Tagbalogo to explore potential areas of collaboration between the University and the barangay. Barangay Tagbalogo has been a beneficiary of various extension projects initiated by MSU at Naawan, including training programs on forage production for goat raisers, tilapia farming, and the provision of portable solar dryers.

During the session, Barangay Chairman Gideon C. Jagonal sought assistance from MSU at Naawan for acquiring bamboo seedlings to be planted along the riverbank, enhancing their tree nursery, and managing solid waste, among other requests. This engagement aligns with MSU at Naawan's commitment to building partnerships with the 10 barangays of Naawan, working collaboratively with local communities to achieve sustainable development.

This activity marks the beginning of MSU at Naawan's outreach efforts, with the Extension Division planning visits to other barangays in the coming days to explore potential partnerships.
