𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈: DOST Secretary Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr., Undersecretary for Regional Operations Engr. Sancho A. Mabborang, and Assistant Secretary for Countryside Development Engr. Maria Teresa B. De Guzman visited the Black Native Chicken Facility in Brgy. Tuboran, Del Carmen, Surigao del Norte, as part of the project visit on STI for Circular Economy in Siargao and Dinagat Islands.

The Caraga Black Native Chicken, locally known as 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘪, is a native chicken distinguished by its black feathers, black shanks, and gray skin. It is being developed through science-based breeding to improve egg production and growth.

The facility supports the field testing and commercialization of Black Native Chicken through breeding stocks, farmer training, and poultry-raising facilities funded under the DOST Grants-in-Aid program.

Implemented with the Tuboran Farmers Cooperative (TUFACO), Caraga State University (CSU), and local government unit of Del Carmen, the project aims to improve farmers' poultry-raising skills, expand their sources of income, and enhance poultry production.

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊: DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum Jr. emphasized the value of turning waste into opportunity during his keynote message at the 2026 Siargao Climate Week and SIPLAS Forum in Del Carmen, Siargao.

“Kapag may nakita tayong waste, huwag natin isipin na patapon na. Isipin natin: may oportunidad at may pera d’yan.”

He emphasized that a circular economy requires rethinking how we produce, consume, recover, and value resources while promoting green enterprises and sustainable tourism without compromising Siargao’s natural assets.

A circular Siargao must be a climate-resilient Siargao.

Through Project GREENWAVE, DOST-Caraga advances this vision by equipping local stakeholders with technologies, skills, and enterprise support to turn waste into practical, profitable, and sustainable solutions.

The 2026 Siargao Island Protected Landscape and Seascape (SIPLAS) Forum is underway at the Convention Center in Del Carmen, Siargao, as part of the SIPLAS 30th Anniversary and Climate Week 2026, organized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Caraga.

DOST Secretary Renato U. Solidum, Jr. serves as keynote speaker, joined by DOST Undersecretary for Regional Operations Sancho A. Mabborang, Assistant Secretary for Countryside Development Maria Teresa B. De Guzman, and DOST Caraga Regional Director Noel M. Ajoc.

The multisectoral forum brings together government agencies, local government units, the academe, youth, civil society, development partners, and local communities to discuss the protection of Siargao’s ecosystems and biodiversity and address emerging challenges, including climate change, rising sea levels, and the vulnerabilities of small island communities.

“The effects of climate change fall the hardest upon farmers and fisherfolks. But I always say: hazards are inevitable, but disasters need not be. What matters is how we understand the risks, how we prepare, how we adapt, and how we use science and technology to reduce our vulnerabilities,” said Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr. during the launch of the Siargao Climate Field School for Farmers and Fisherfolk (SCFSFF) on October 8, 2026, in Brgy. San Jose, Del Carmen, Surigao del Norte.

Solidum emphasized that climate information, weather data, research, and technologies must move beyond reports, computers, universities, and laboratories to become knowledge that communities can understand and use.

For the Siargao Climate Field School, this means creating a space where farmers and fisherfolk can learn, adapt, and make informed decisions using science and technology as climate risks continue to evolve.

Because science creates greater impact when it reaches the people who need it most.
