Supervised Certification of an Accredited Participatory Guarantee System-Organic Certifying Body (PGS-OCB)

Argao and Sibonga, Cebu — The DA-BAFS Compliance Assistance Team provided technical assistance through the conduct of a Supervised Certification to PESTALES Agri-Coop from March 23 to 27, 2026.

The supervised certification aimed to assist PESTALES Agri-Coop in effectively carrying out its functions as a PGS-OCB. The activity covered key certification processes, including application handling, peer review, certification review, and the granting and issuance of the Participatory Organic Certificate (POC). A re-orientation on OCB operations, along with a discussion of the minimum required procedures in the Manual of Operations (MO), was also undertaken to reinforce the proper implementation of certification procedures.

Through these activities, PESTALES Agri-Coop was further equipped to effectively perform inspection and certification services in accordance with its MO and to ensure that applicants comply with the established Internal Standards.

The activity was supported by the DA-Regional Field Office VII and the Local Government Unit of Argao.

Plants may seem silent, but beneath the soil they are actively communicating with one another through their roots. This underground interaction is made possible by a network of beneficial fungi known as mycorrhizal networks, which connect the roots of different plants like a hidden web. Through this system, plants release chemical signals that can travel from one plant to another. For instance, when a plant is attacked by pests, it can send warning signals through the network, allowing nearby plants to prepare their defenses in advance. In some cases, plants can even share nutrients with weaker neighbors, helping them survive. This remarkable process shows that plants are not isolated organisms but part of a connected and responsive community underground

Farming is not easy money because every peso earned is wrestled from uncertainty, not guaranteed like a monthly salary.
A farmer invests time, labor, and capital long before seeing any return. Seeds, fertilizers, labor, and land preparation all require money upfront, yet harvest is never fully certain. Weather can shift like a moody storyteller—too much rain, too little rain, or sudden pests can damage months of hard work in just a few days. Even when production is good, market prices can drop unexpectedly, reducing profit or even causing losses.
Unlike other jobs where effort directly equals income, farming is a gamble with nature, timing, and the market. It demands patience, resilience, and smart decision-making. The harvest you see is not just crops—it’s the result of risk, sacrifice, and persistence growing quietly beneath the soil
