The Western Mindanao Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (WESMAARRDEC) conducted its first General Assembly on February 21, 2025, at the Grand Astoria Hotel, Zamboanga City. Among the attendees were J.H. Cerilles State College (JHCSC) President Dr. Edgardo H. Rosales and Prof. Ruel Lasagas, Director of Research and Resource Generation at JHCSC.

To accommodate participants unable to attend the gathering in person, WESMAARRDEC provided an online platform. Through this initiative, JHCSC Dumingag Campus Director and ZamPen Native Chicken Project Leader Dr. Moises Glenn G. Tangalin engaged in the discussions via Zoom.

The assembly served as a venue for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and strategic planning among member institutions. As WESMAARRDEC continues to foster research partnerships, institutions like JHCSC remain committed to driving innovation and research that benefit local communities and industries across Western Mindanao.
