During Tarlac Agricultural University's (TAU) 79th Commencement Exercises for the College of Agriculture and Forestry (CAF) and College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM), Dr. Constante J. Palabrica, Undersecretary for Livestock of the Department of Agriculture (DA), addresses Batch 2024-2025.

Dr. Palabrica recounts heartbreaking stories during the height of the African Swine Fever (ASF) epidemic which devastated the swine industry. He has seen its rise and fall, including the destruction of lives and livelihoods. Despite the crises the industry is facing like rising feed cost and animal diseases, he notes that the livestock sector witnesses the resilience of those who continue to endure, urging the graduates to prepare themselves for a different world outside the University.
