PCAARRD’s ‘Kontra COVID-19’ initiative
Excerpt
The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCAARRD) initiated the GALING PCAARRD Kontra COVID-19 Program in response to the recent pandemic outbreak of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). The “GALING” or Good Agri-Aqua Livelihood Initiatives towards National Goals is also a Filipino term, which means Healing (from COVID-19) and Excellence, which resonates with PCAARRD’s tagline, Excellence in aquatic and natural resources research innovations. When pronounced with a slow accent, the word “galing” also means from, denoting that the technology offerings are from the various research and development (R&D) initiatives of the DOST-PCAARRD.
