Abstract

The Philippine Agricultural and Fisheries Extension System (PAFES) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the productivity, sustainability, and economic stability of the agricultural and fisheries sectors in the Philippines. This study evaluates the perceived needs and investments for the successful implementation of PAFES in the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Guimaras, focusing on the areas that require immediate attention to ensure its effective execution. The research highlights key needs identified by local agricultural offices, including the provision of service vehicles for transportation, additional technical personnel, and increased funding to sustain and expand PAFES activities. The study also explores investment patterns over three years (2021-2023), revealing a consistent prioritization of operational and personnel-related expenses, with notable fluctuations in capital outlay. The increase in funding over the years reflects an emerging recognition of the need for infrastructure development and personnel retention.
