𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒  | TAU secures PRC Approval for Continuing Professional Development Programs

Pursuant to the Professional Regulation Commission’s (PRC) guidelines on Continuing Professional Development (CPD), the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) of Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) is formally awarded the authority to implement CPD program offerings.

The CPD programs, designed exclusively for professional teachers, aim to promote continuous learning and professional growth in compliance with PRC standards. These offerings further reinforce the University’s commitment to advancing the quality of education and lifelong learning among licensed teaching professionals.

During an interview with Dr. Benny S. Soliman, the Director for Students Placement Office, preparations for the CPD accreditation were conducted from September to October 2025, under the leadership of the CAS Dean, Dr. Sherwin S. Alar, with the College undertaking comprehensive documentation, curriculum alignment, and strict compliance with PRC requirements. Following a rigorous evaluation process, CAS is officially granted permission to offer CPD programs on November 24, 2025, affirming its institutional readiness to deliver accredited professional development courses.

During the application process, the College faced challenges, particularly during the evaluation and waiting period, as the PRC required  several revisions and resubmissions. Despite these challenges, the CAS completed the process through the collective efforts of faculty members, staff, and concerned University offices.

The Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), through the leadership of Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson, extends its heartfelt gratitude to Senator Pia S. Cayetano for supporting TAU’s Futures Thinking Research Program.

The funding allocation from her office, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Innovation, and Futures Thinking, empowers TAU to expand its vision beyond the immediate horizon. This investment further allows TAU to foster an academic environment rooted in strategic foresight, resilience, and ethical innovation, equipping its students with the knowledge and skills to design and lead a sustainable future for the country and the community of nations.

We are deeply grateful, Senator Pia, for being an empowering partner in inspiring transformative change and nurturing the next generation of leaders.

Tucked away in the middle of Tarlac Agricultural University’s (TAU) ricefields, a weathered, small, and unassuming building often catches the eye of passing employees and students.

To many TAUians, the structure might be mistaken for a simple rice granary, seamlessly nestled within the agricultural landscape of the campus. Few realize that within its walls, and through the instruments dotting the surrounding grounds, lies a critical nexus of science. This is no storage room; it is the 𝐓𝐀𝐔–𝐏𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐒𝐀 (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, a silent sentinel that has been unceasingly listening to the sky’s whispers for over three decades to safeguard the very foundation of our food security.

Operational since 1991, the station stands as a physical legacy of scholarly foresight, born of the dissertation of Dr. Guillermo S. Rillon, former Dean of the College of Engineering and Technology (CET). Its presence on campus serves as a living laboratory where data is transformed into decisions.
