The Philippine Extension and Advisory Services Network Inc. (PhilEASNet) has conducted a webinar on September 30, 2020 with the theme “Recalibrating Extension and Advisory Services for the New Normal”. A total of 389 extension professionals and practitioners from national government agencies, local government units, state universities and colleges, private higher education institutes and other private organizations from all over the country attended the free webinar.

The event was conceptualized to address the new challenges faced by extension service providers in the delivery of extension and advisory services (EAS) in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. Safety protocols enforced by authorities to contain the spread of coronavirus have generally limited the movement of people, including the mobility of extension workers. This has greatly affected the delivery of extension services which heavily relies on face to face advisory services and interactive educational interventions.
