This Project was implemented through Special Order No. 915-OP, Series of 2024 and was part of the GAA-2024 funded study titled "Vulnerability and Risk Assessment of Lake Lanao Watershed: Towards a Sustainable and Climate-Change Resilient Ecosystems and Communities in Lanao del Sur, Philippines, led by Prof. Melencio Jr Jalova, UES-RSRC Director.

This study characterized, classified, and assessed the land suitability of three pedons within the Ramain Subwatershed of the Province of Lanao del Sur. Consequently, crop suitability assessment using the FAO framework revealed that no crops achieved a highly suitable (S1) classification. For these specific sites, the crops require significant interventions before they can be suitable for production. Common constraints as observed in the studied profiles included drainage, pH, and textural class for crops such as oil palm, banana, sugarcane, and mango. Arabica coffee and cocoa were not suitable in the assessed pedons due to combined climatic, physiological,
and physicochemical constraints. The study confirms that soil heterogeneity and site-specific constraints strongly govern agricultural potential, emphasizing that soil amelioration must be tailored to these localized pedological findings.

April 20, 2026 - The Supreme Student Government (SSG) had an audience with the project lead of the strawberry farm in Piagapo, specifically in Brgy. Gacap, Prof. Edgel Escomen, whose dedication and passion aim to better serve the farmers of Lanao del Sur.

Prof. Escomen also shared with us the stories of farmers in Piagapo and their struggles. As student leaders whose education is funded by the taxes of our fellow Filipinos, it is important that we know these lived realities and forward their sentiments. We also had the chance to taste the sweetness of their fresh harvest.

We call for continued support for our farmers and researchers behind this meaningful initiative.

Visit and experience strawberry-picking in the heart of Barangay Gacap, Piagapo, Lanao del Sur.
