Upholding its strong commitment to sustainable development under the leadership of the University President; Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson, Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) continues to champion community-driven initiatives through transformative training on sustainable bamboo utilization. Led by the Department of Extension and Training under the superintendence of Dr. Agnes C. Perey, and in partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Paniqui, Tarlac, the initiative, titled โ€œTraining on Sustainable Harvesting, Treatment & Preservation, and Engineered Bamboo,โ€ gathered bamboo farmers from Paniqui to enhance their capabilities in harnessing bamboo as a high-value and sustainable resource.

The training highlighted key areas such as sustainable harvesting techniques, treatment and preservation methods to extend bamboo lifespan, and innovative engineered bamboo processing technologies aligned with modern industry standards. Participants engaged in comprehensive learning modules and hands-on workshops designed to address current challenges in bamboo resource management, including pest control, proper treatment applications, and value-adding processes for high-quality bamboo products.

Through this collaborative effort, TAU and the LGU of Paniqui continue to empower local stakeholders by promoting sustainable livelihoods while advancing environmental conservation. The initiative underscores the universityโ€™s vital role in bridging research, innovation, and community extension paving the way for a more resilient and sustainable bamboo industry in the region.

Exemplifying its commitment to military excellence and operational readiness, the Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) Unit welcomed officials from the Philippine Army and stakeholders on 23 April, for the highly anticipated Regional Annual Administrative and Tactical Inspection (RAATI) 2026.ย 

Held at the University oval, the RAATI Team assessed the Unit's readiness, discipline, and operational capabilities. Presided over by Col. George M. Bergonia, Chairman of the RAATI Team, the inspection served as a benchmark for the Unit's compliance with reserve force standards.

The whole-day event commenced with the arrival of honors, followed by a brief orientation and an invocation. In his welcome remarks during the actual program, University President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson emphasized the institution's commitment to producing well-disciplined and civic-minded reserve officers.

โ€œTodayโ€™s program is rich with purpose. These exercises will test your leadership under pressure, your decision-making in simulated field conditions, and your ability to function as a cohesive team when it matters most,โ€ Dr. Salunson stressed.

A ceremonial turnover of the ROTC Corps of Cadets and Unit Color to the inspection team chairman formally opened the evaluation process. Following it was a rigorous sequence of military drills: a ceremonial parade, ranks inspection, and close order drill, each testing the cadets' precision and command execution. In the afternoon, the TAU - ROTC Unit demonstrated small unit tactics and military stakes, showcasing its practical field competencies.ย 

Leading the TAU contingent was Lt. Col. Wilfy P. Jazmin, TAU - ROTCU Commander. His leadership was evident in the cadets' performance, which reflected months of preparation under the National Training Service Program (NSTP) of the University.

The event concluded with the announcement of inspection results, followed by the turnover of the ROTC Corps of Cadets and Unit Color back to the Commandant. With the RAATI 2026 now complete, the Unit looks forward to applying feedback from the RAATI team to further enhance its training and administrative systems in preparation for future regional and national engagements.
