Vice Governor Jeffrey Ferrer said the Negros Occidental Sangguniang Panlalawigan is expected to approve the appointment of the new provincial agriculturist during its regular session on Tuesday, October 22.
Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson has appointed Dr. Edmundo Raul Causing, Agribusiness Department chairperson of the University of Saint La Salle, to the post and is seeking the endorsement of the SP.
Ferrer assured that the SP will approve the appointment of Causing.
Dina Gensola is the current officer-in-charge of the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist. She has held the post since former provincial agriculturist Japhet Masculino retired in July last year.
Causing has a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture major in Animal Science from the University of the Philippines in Los Baños, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, Master’s Degree in Business Administration, and a Doctorate Degree in Business Management from USLS.*
