AQUATIC RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTAL BREEDING CENTER

INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT
A. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
• Food security is an on-going international challenge and takes
place when all people have physical and economic access to
ample, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and
food preferences for an active and healthy life.

• One way of achieving this is by strengthening research programs
that shall improve the agricultural sector, the country’s major
industry responsible in food production.
• The researcher found out one important aspect that shall be given
priority in the agricultural sector is the fishing industry.

B. RATIONALE OF THE PROJECT
• Experts concluded that years from now, there will not be enough
supply of fish for human consumption.
• In order to prevent this event from happening, the researcher is
proposing an Aquatic Research and Experimental Breeding Center
that will focus on freshwater fishes and the similar products.
• This will pave the way in increasing agricultural production in order
to contribute to food security that shall conserve and protect the
resources for long-term sustainability.


C. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

A. Vision
• The projects envisions itself in opposing the declining agricultural
productivity, continuing increase in the prices of staple foods and
global climate change caused concern for food security for the
growing population in the country.
• It is a fact that the Philippines have been shifting into a
manufacturing-based economy but it remained an agricultural
country in spite of the declining share of the sector to the country's
national income.


B. Project Objective/s
• This Aquatic Research and Experimental Breeding Center aims to
contribute in the food security and economic growth of the region by
means of improving the harvest of locally cultivated freshwater fish
through the introduction of new variety of fingerlings resulted from
experiments in the breeding center.



C. Design Objective/s
• It is an objective of the project to produce new variety of fishes that
is easy to propagate and resistant to the effects of Global Warming
and Climate Change.
•

It will be done through the proposal of a facility that shall provide a
sound environment for teaching people the science of breeding
inland fish varieties for the purpose of harnessing the aquatic
natural resources of the locality.



• It aims to be recognized as one of the research center in the
Philippines with the best master plan for a more conducive working
environment for the researchers and other individuals involved.

A. Evaluation of Similar Project
Regional Freshwater Fisheries Center in Bicol
The Regional Freshwater Fisheries Center has a total
land area of 34 hectares when it was acquired by the
Department of Agriculture-RFU No. 5 thru a MOA with
the Department of Agrarian Reform V. A total of 15. 4
hectares has been developed into different pond
system, concrete tanks, buildings, farm lots for
(orchard, vegetables and others) and other
infrastructures.
The remaining 18.6 hectares is composed mostly by
the lagoon which is filled with run off waters from the
rice fields and waste water from the RFFC fishponds.
This is dried up during Summer.

DEMAND ANALYSIS
Regional Freshwater Fisheries Center in Bicol
The center is now the hub of freshwater aquaculture
technologies, and soon, also for the post-harvest
technologies in the Bicol Region. This is because the
project is now engaged mainly on the production of
tilapia fingerlings.
Turning over the post-harvest facilities and other
components by 2010 to the BFAR5, will make
Regional Freshwater Fisheries Center a one stop
shop for fish production and post-harvest
technologies. The Regional Freshwater Fisheries
Center will get involve in organic fish farming, vermicomposting and aquaponics.

CENTRAL LUZON DRUG ABUSE AND
ALCOHOLISM REHABILITATION
CENTER

AR511S4/AR51FA1

ABSTRACT
• Drug abuse and alcohol addiction have been creating a negative
impact on an individual’s life since his very first
intake, rehabilitation is not easy.
• Treatment programs should be done effectively in a place that must
help the individual stop using drugs, maintain an alcohol-free
lifestyle, and achieve productive functioning in the family, at
work, and in society
• The project aims to provide a good environment in the
rehabilitation of drug and alcohol dependents in the region.

CENTRAL LUZON DRUG ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM REHABILITATION CENTER


• Alcohol and drug abuse is our country’s most serious national
public health problem. It has been the cost of hundreds of
accidents, crimes and deaths each year.
• Alcohol and drug abuse is obviously a heavier burden among the
poor owing to the sheer lack of access to rehabilitation and
treatment centers.
• Treatment programs should be done effectively in a place that must
help the individual stop using drugs, maintain an alcohol-free
lifestyle, and achieve productive functioning in the family, at
work, and in society.

• While there are slowly emerging various privately owned and
operated alcohol and drug abuse and rehabilitation centers, they
are still scarce and are extremely costly.

• Private rehabilitation centers, while well-meaning and admittedly
seeks to serve humanitarian purposes, tend to be unreachable to
Filipinos owing to their almost prohibitively expensive fees.
• In Central Luzon, there are four DOH Accredited Treatment and
Rehabilitation Centers but these can no longer accommodate the
growing number of drug and alcohol dependents in the locality, thus
a Regional Rehabilitation Center is being proposed.


A. Vision
• The Central Luzon Drug Abuse and Alcoholism Rehabilitation
Center envisions itself as one of the leading addiction treatment
facility in the country.
• The center shall administer to the patients’ needs physically and
psychologically in order to facilitate guaranteed remedy.
• It also is committed to raise awareness on the importance of having
a drug and alcohol free nation.


• To sustain the country’s present economic growth, the society must
protect the public health, safety and general welfare of its people
and it is found out that drug addiction and alcoholism are factors
that prevent an individual from being a productive and dynamic
workforce of the nation.

• The project hopes to become a center of transformation where
patients can expect to permanently stop their substance
dependency and learn to be productive citizens of the society.


• The primary objective of the project is to provide a good
environment in the rehabilitation of drug and alcohol dependents in
the region.
• It aims to be recognized as one of the rehabilitation center in the
environment for its staff and patients to facilitate easy treatment. It
shall further uplift the guidelines in the design and construction of
rehabilitation centers in the country.
