Western Philippines University joined the 2026 MIMAROPA Industry Day at Palawan State University. The WPU Food Processing Center was represented at the 2026 MIMAROPA Industry Day by Dr. Anne Gellie Pablo-Limco, faculty member of the Home Economics Department, together with Research Assistants Engr. Carlah Badilla and Cyra Gavilaga.

The activity highlighted the importance of connecting research with industry. Through stronger academe-industry partnerships, research-based technologies can be developed further, adopted by enterprises, and translated into products and solutions with real market and community impact.

For WPU, working closely with industry is an important step in making research more practical, relevant, and ready for commercialization.

Western Philippines University's CAFES F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Extension Program successfully conducted "Sip, Squeeze & Sustain: Hands-on Training in Making Honey Citron Ginger Tea" in partnership with Wycliffe Philippines–Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD).

More than learning how to make Honey Citron Ginger Tea, this training showcased the power of research, collaboration, and local resources in creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for the Tagbanua communities of Aborlan. By transforming the tribe's locally produced honey, freshly harvested ginger, and calamansi into a value-added marmalade tea, this initiative marks the beginning of a proudly community-made product rooted in indigenous resources and innovation.

Here's to empowering communities...one bottle, one skill, and one partnership at a time.
