Faylon received two successive presidential citations for his excellent leadership and outstanding government service.

     Recognized in the two presidential citations were Faylon’s constant encouragement and will to uplift the spirit of the organization by pushing PCARRD to vie for the Philippine Quality Award (PQA). On December 10, 2009, the Council was granted with the PQA, Level 1(Commitment to Quality Management) in Malacañan Palace, Manila. 

     Before the Philippine Quality Award, Faylon led PCARRD to be one of the first Department of Science and Technology agencies to secure an ISO 9001:2000 certification. With his initiative, the organization was also acknowledged by Malacañang as one of the 43 government agencies that successfully implement a quality management system in compliance with the ISO 9001 standards. 

     As part of the Council’s Continual Improvement Program, the PCARRD Executive Director also pushed for PCARRD’s recertification for ISO 9001:2008. 

     Faylon was likewise recognized for having extensive linkage with international and local organizations, enabling PCARRD to sustain its resource generation activities. 

     The Dr. Patricio S. Faylon  has also helped establish the Techno Gabay Program as PCARRD’s platform for R&D results utilization and transfer. The program provides the framework for a more effective and sustainable strategy for bringing the much needed information and technologies to the countryside. (Pia Paula P. Mateo)
