Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the extension modalities employed in the Swine Production and Dispersal Program (SPDP) implemented in Calintaan, Occidental Mindoro. It employed the survey research method. It was conducted at Barangay Malpalon and Poypoy, Calintaan, Occidental Mindoro. The respondents were the 30 randomly-selected Swine Production and Dispersal Program (SPDP) beneficiaries for at least one year and had received at least one piglet from the program. A survey and interview were conducted to determine whether the extension program has helped the beneficiaries. Mean, frequency distribution, percentage, and Kendal-Tau b were used in this study. The results shows that the SPDP beneficiaries were middle-aged, high school graduate, female, and member of the SPDP. The seminar is the “most employed” communication method used by the Tamaraw Conservation Program in disseminating information regarding swine production. The said program had contributed to the increase of the SPDP beneficiaries’ monthly income at the time of the implementation of the program. The “most frequent” problem encountered in the implementation of the SPDP is the additional expenses incurred by the household with regard to its operation. Expenses had a significant relationship with the benefits and the problems encountered in SPDP. Further, expenses had a significant relationship with the benefits and the problems encountered in SPDP.
