CARES Dean Dr. Jaime Cabarles hosting the Philippine Chicken Web TV program.

101.3 CARES FM is a broadcast radio program under the College of Agriculture, Resources and Environmental Sciences hosted by Dean, Dr. James Cabarles Jr. The topics discussed on the show are centered on raising and breeding native chickens.

Last May 15 & 16, 2021 they conducted a webinar educating people about native chickens. They discussed the “Commercial Production of Philippine Native Chicken.” Another set of webinars will be conducted entitled “Knowing and Selecting the Locally-available Philippine Native Chicken as Your Starting Flock” on May 29, 2021 from 9:00AM – 12:00 Noon. More information can be found via the Philippine Native Chicken Facebook page or by contacting their official Viber +639108030148 or WhatsApp +639774713432.

Aside from their radio program they also have The Philippine Chicken Web TV that live streams via Facebook. You can also purchase feeds and other originally produced products via their FB page.

Let us support this Centralian venture especially during this season of the pandemic. Trying times such as this can be an opportunity to start a business of raising chickens.
