The series of training of trainers on AgriPinoy framework became a venue for the e-Extension coordinators (eEC) to promote the e-Extension program of the Department of Agriculture, which is being carried on by the Agricultural Training Institute.

Not all training activities in the center would mean opportunity to discuss the program. But with the time slot given to eEC Hazel Grace T. Taganas to discuss one module in the training, came the opportunity for fellow eEC Dennis Boyd R. Baltazar to present the e-Extension program components and services particulary the e-Learning, Farmers' Contact Center and the NMRice Mobile. The participants learned to access the on-line services and were encouraged to get information from the net.

Mr. Baltazar also shared updates on the institutionalization of the Techno Gabay Program to ATI starting this year. In Region VIII, the implementation of the program is already coordinated by ATI since year 2000.

A total of 118 participants in the three batches of the TOT were briefed on the e-Extension program. This year, the coordinators hoped to conduct more briefings to reach more clients for them to broaden their access to agricultural information.
