Current Profession details
Retired, Division Chief III, Tissue Culture Division
Philippine Coconut Authority, Albay Research Center
Guionobatan, Albay, Philippines
Currently: Member of the Board/Treasurer
Phil. Coconut Research and Development Foundation
Sector :
Researcher with the Philippine Coconut Authority
Research works undertaken /
involved in coconut
Started work in May 1964 as assistant to FAO-UNDP
Consultants working on the coconut cadang-cadang disease at
the then Bureau of Plant Industry, Guinobatan Experiment
Station, Guinobatan, Albay, until the time that it was found that
a viroid is the causal agent.
Project Leader of the 9-year (Feb. 1989 to Jan 1998) Germanfunded (GTZ) technical cooperation entitled “PhilippineGerman Coconut Tissue Culture Project”.
The Project leader of a 3-year European Union-funded project
entitled “Coconut: Development of Methods for the Clonal
Propagation of Elite, Diseases-resistant Palms by Somatic
Embryogenesis”. This project was collaboration among 5
countries (Philippines, Mexico, Germany, France and England).
Makapuno Comprehensive Technology Development and
Commercialization Program of which she was the Program
Leader.
The Project Leader of a 3-year (April 15, 1999 to March 2002)
DOST-PCARRD funded project under the Crops Biotechnology
Program, entitled “Coconut Tissue Culture: Optimization pf
protocols towards increased production of clones”.
Coconut embryo culture research to develop effective
technology for the production of coconut seedlings from the
high value soft endosperm coconut variety “Lono.”
One of the project leaders of an IPGRI-COGENT funded program
entitled “Sustainable use of coconut genetic resources to
enhance incomes and nutrition of coconut smallholders in the
Asia Pacific Region”.
After retirement in Feb. 2008, she was the President and CEO
of PhilHybrid Corporation, a private corporation involved in the
production of embryo cultured Makapuno seedlings based at
UPLB, College, Laguna until April 2015.
Also a Consultant of Dept. of Science and Technology Region 4
and Department of Agriculture in the Philippines. Now on a “on
call basis.”
Developmental Projects
undertaken or led in coconut
sector in own country/others
Project leader of 2 projects in Tiaong, Quezon and Lipa
City, Batangas (both are Department of Agriculture
Research Stations) in the Philippines mainly to mass
produce the dwarf Makapuno type developed at the Leyte
State University. These projects are funded by the P1M
research grant she got when she was awarded as the DA
National Gawad Saka Outstanding Agricultural Scientist in
2007 by President Macapagal-Arroyo. She earlier
established demo farms of this Makapuno types in three site.
