Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU) is proud to be one of the selected State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) under the CHED SIBOL: Student Technology Business Incubation Program for the Agri-Aqua Sector Program.

PSAU, through the Sibul Technology Business Incubator (Sibul TBI), reaffirms its commitment to empowering student innovators by providing them with the support, mentorship, and resources needed to transform promising ideas into innovative and sustainable enterprises.

The CHED SIBOL Program serves as a platform for students to develop technologies and solutions that address real-world challenges in the agri-aqua sector while fostering an entrepreneurial mindset that creates lasting impact in communities.

Together, we continue to cultivate innovation, inspire the next generation of innovators, and build a future where student-led ideas contribute to the growth and sustainability of the nation’s agri-aqua industries.

Drawing from her experience as former President of Mariano Marcos State University, CHED Chairperson Shirley C. Agrupis has seen how universities can produce technologies and ideas with the potential to improve lives and support local industries. She has also seen how many of these innovations remain as theses or prototypes without the guidance, resources, and connections needed to move forward.

Through the SIBOL: Student Technology Business Incubation Program for the Agri-Aqua Sector, CHED is helping student innovators take the next step—from refining their technologies and testing their ideas to developing enterprises that can serve farmers, fisherfolk, industries, and communities. The Commission allocated a total of ₱120 million for the program, with each approved state university and college receiving ₱5 million over the two-year implementation period to support its student incubatees.

The initiative supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive for government agencies to provide Filipinos, particularly youth and women entrepreneurs, with greater opportunities to build and grow their businesses. By investing in young innovators, SIBOL aims to establish at least 200 new local enterprises, create jobs, and produce solutions that benefit farmers, fisherfolk, industries, and communities.

The Sibul Technology Business Incubator (Sibul TBI) of Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), and the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) of Pampanga collaborated on a series of initiatives that strengthened the technical and enterprise capacity of Sibul TBI incubatees through capability-building activities, planting material support, and equipment assistance.

On June 25–26, 2026, Sibul TBI, represented by Ms. Maricel B. Ramos, joined the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) of Pampanga, led by Ms. Lilibeth Manliclic, in a capability-building activity at the Bureau of Plant Industry – Baguio National Crop Research, Development and Production Support Center (BNCRDPSC). Conducted in partnership with the Provincial Government of Pampanga, the activity equipped Sibul TBI incubatee Mr. Jomar L. David, owner of Dayap Philippines, with technical knowledge and practical skills in citrus propagation and nursery management through orientation sessions, facility visits, and hands-on training on Mexican Lime (Dayap) propagation.
Following the training, 500 grafted Dayap seedlings were awarded to Mr. David.

A portion of the seedlings will be distributed to backyard growers and other interested farmers to increase local Dayap production and ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials for the growing Dayap juice processing enterprise. The remaining seedlings will serve as the foundation for establishing a Dayap scion grove to be piloted by the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist of Pampanga under the leadership of Ms. Lilibeth Manliclic, with technical guidance from the Bureau of Plant Industry – Baguio National Crop Research, Development and Production Support Center (BNCRDPSC). The scion grove will serve as a sustainable source of quality budwood for propagating Dayap planting materials to support the expansion of Dayap production across Pampanga.

According to Mr. Roger G. Custodio, the initiative is expected to strengthen the province's Dayap industry.

"Once the scion grove is established, we can continuously graft more Dayap seedlings to support the growing Dayap juice industry in Pampanga. This will ensure that growers have access to quality planting materials and help sustain the supply of raw materials needed by local processors," he said.

The Office of the Provincial Agriculturist of Pampanga also turned over a stainless-steel processing table to Mr. David. The equipment will enhance food safety, improve processing efficiency, and strengthen the production capacity of his Dayap processing facility.

Meanwhile, on June 26, 2026, another Sibul TBI incubatee, Mr. Emanuel Dela Cruz of the Porac ARB Farmers' Cooperative, received 1,000 vanilla seedlings from the Bureau of Plant Industry – Malate. The seedlings will complement the cooperative's existing vanilla plantations and support the expansion of vanilla production as a promising high-value crop in the province.
These initiatives reflect the collaboration among Sibul TBI, the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist of Pampanga, the Provincial Government of Pampanga, and the Bureau of Plant Industry in boosting agricultural innovation and enterprise development. Through technical capacity-building, access to quality planting materials, the provision of appropriate equipment, and institutional collaboration, Sibul TBI supports its incubatees while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector in Pampanga.
