The Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology (SPAMAST) joins the 89th Araw ng Malita Celebration through an exhibition of its research initiatives, innovative products, and institutional memorabilia from November 9–13, 2026, at the Malita Municipal Plaza, Davao Occidental.

Facilitated by the Research, Innovation, and Development Extension Office, the exhibition highlights SPAMAST’s commitment to translating research and innovation into meaningful products and initiatives that respond to community needs and promote local development.

Through the exhibit, the institution provides an avenue to showcase its research outputs, locally developed products, and institutional memorabilia while strengthening public awareness of its academic, research, and extension initiatives. It also creates opportunities for community engagement, knowledge sharing, and collaboration with stakeholders, particularly in advancing science, technology, agriculture, and sustainable livelihood.

SPAMAST’s participation in this annual celebration underscores its continuing role as a partner in local development, demonstrating how higher education institutions can contribute to community progress through research, innovation, and extension services.

The initiative supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education, through knowledge sharing and public engagement; SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, by promoting research and innovation; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, by strengthening collaboration between the institution and the community. Through these efforts, SPAMAST continues to rise above the waves and sail beyond endless possibilities in advancing inclusive and sustainable local development.
