KABASALAN, Zamboanga Sibugay — The Philippine Rubber Research Institute (PRRI) facilitated a successful Capacity Development in Improved Technology on Rubber Tapping Management for the Pantawid Beneficiaries. The program, held from October 15-18 and October 22-25, 2024, trained 310 rubber farmers from eight different barangays of the municipality of Kabasalan.
