PHilMech Director IV Dr. Dionisio G. Alvindia emphasized that sustainable knowledge transfer is key to strengthening the country’s farm mechanization efforts. He noted that many Filipinos have already received training at WECAN Global’s facilities in Korea, and underscored the importance of continuous learning and application.

WECAN Global President Jun-Hwan Kim reaffirmed their full commitment to advancing knowledge exchange. “When you come to Korea, we will teach and give you all the knowledge that you need,” he stated, expressing confidence in the long-term impact of the program.

Engr. Raymund Joseph P. Macaranas, Chief of the Agricultural Mechanization Division, also stressed that advanced technology requires a deep understanding to ensure proper use. “Modern machines require proper training. Before you can modernize farming, you need to fully understand how the equipment works to avoid damage and maximize efficiency. This training is just the beginning of many more to come,” he said.

Representatives from PHilMech’s Extension Support, Education, and Training Services were also present to ensure that the knowledge gained is cascaded effectively across the organization, creating a ripple effect of growth and innovation across the country’s agricultural sector.
