Negros to host OISCA 50th anniversary
July 4, 2011
THE Organization for Industrial Spiritual & Cultural Advancement (OISCA) Philippines Chapter, under the leadership of Negros Occidental governor Alfredo Maranon Jr., in collaboration with OISCA International will host the OISCA 50th International Anniversary celebration in the province on August 23 to 25.
The event will showcase OISCA’s achievements and how it will pursue its goal of strengthening ties of cooperation – hence, the theme “OISCA: Forging Stronger Partnerships for a Sustainable World”.
The OISCA 50th Anniversary celebration will be the platform for interaction and sharing among members and partners on OISCA’s core agenda on food security (food first) and environmental protection (love green). Further, it will be an opportunity to explore and expand partnerships in addressing the challenges and the apparent problems of the environment.
Shegemi Watanabe, director of the OISCA Bago Training Center, said that OISCA Negros has spread out to the USA. The new chapter will be inaugurated on August 2 with Filipino Americans comprising most of its members.
Watanabe narrated that OISCA Negros started in 1961 with a simple agricultural training program from rice, vegetable and now the sericulture or silk farming, which benefits about 200 farmers. Every year, OISCA Negros produces about 15 tons of silk, makingit the biggest silk factory in the country.
He added that the demand for real silk, like what Negros produces, keeps on increasing every year. He said that hand-weavers of silk always look for genuine silk. They noticed that what they buy in Divisoria are not genuine silk so they always look for genuine silk produced here in Negros.

Established in 1961 OISCA International has long been promoting development cooperation. It was founded on a mission to contribute to humanity’s environmentally sustainable development through a holistic approach emphasizing the interconnectedness of agriculture, ecological integrity and the human spirit.
What has been a taboo for many in the early 1960s, when OISCA started its crusade, is now the battlecry of everyone — the need to have food security and the importance of protecting mother earth.
Marañon said concerns about the global warning was raised and studied solely by OISCA before and that he is moved now that this issue has become a worldwide concern.
OISCA’s milestones in 1961 to 1970 was Food First; working through the grassroots, development activities fostering the youth in 1971 up to 1980; Love green campaign in 1980 to 1990; the Children’s Forest program in 1991 to year 2000 and cultivating the future from year 2001 onwards.
Hundreds of OISCA members from Japan and the Philippines are expected to arrive during the 50th anniversary celebration to be held at the Panaad Park and Stadium.
