The recognition - a separate presentation is reserved
for outstanding mother - is an annual project of the
National Mother's Day and Father's Day Foundation of the
Philippines, Inc.
Dizon, the first and only honoree from the agriculture
sector is an expert pomologist who maintains fruit research
techno-demo farms for farmers to see and learn fruit farming
technologies - the DENR-PAWB-Dizon Botanic Fruit Center; the
Techno-Demo Farm at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife
Nature Center; the CLSU-Dizon Fruit Research and Techno-Demo
Center at Central Luzon State University, Nueva Ecija and
the CLSU-Dizon Orchard Techno-Demo Farm in Tiaong, Quezon.
Dizon is credited for adaptive techniques in growing
exotic high-value fruits in the country like durian, longan,
grape, rambutan, mangosteen, lychee, pummelo, berba, giant
calamansi and chico, among many others. In spite of his
works, he is hoping the government could get itself more
involved in setting up techno-demo farms and nurseries for
the farmers to have ready access to farming technologies and
planting materials. |
