🌍 𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐄: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 🩺

Last Friday, 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, the 𝑩𝒊𝒐𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒍 successfully hosted "𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐄: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡" at 𝑨𝑽𝑹 𝟐, 𝑮𝑫 𝟏, 𝟓𝒕𝒉 𝑭𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒕. 𝑫𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒄 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑨𝒔𝒊𝒂! This seminar aimed to promote awareness, scientific understanding, and interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle today’s pressing public health issues. The event kicked off with a solemn prayer, the National Anthem, and the SDCA Hymn, warmly led by our hosts, 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒚𝒏 𝑮𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝑨𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒛𝒐 & 𝑴𝒂. 𝑨𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒉 𝑱𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝑳𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒚. We were then inspired by an opening address from 𝑫𝒓. 𝑵𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒂 𝑾. 𝑩𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒔, 𝘝𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤 𝘈𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴, 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩, 𝘌𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘢𝘨𝘦.

The first presentation was led by 𝑫𝒓. 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏 𝑪𝒚𝒓𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂, 𝑴.𝑫. (𝘋𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘺 & 𝘚𝘋𝘊𝘈 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭 𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯), who dove deep into "𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 & 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬." He closed his talk with a powerful and timely reminder from Alexander Fleming: "𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺."

Before continuing to the other half of the seminar, the students, faculty, and committees shook off the mid-day sleepiness with a 𝒇𝒖𝒏, 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉-𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌 to loosen up and enjoy the day together.

For the next discussion, we were privileged to hear from 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇. 𝑫𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒚 𝑻𝒐, 𝑴.𝑺𝒄. (𝘋𝘖𝘚𝘛-𝘚𝘌𝘐 𝘊𝘐𝘗 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭). He shared his fascinating current research titled "𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐨-𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞," wrapping up with an inspiring video presentation showcasing their actual laboratory processes to give students an inside look at real-world scientific work.

Following the presentations, the floor opened for an interactive Q&A session, allowing students to engage directly with the speakers.

To show our deep appreciation, Certificates of Recognition were awarded to our phenomenal guest speakers, honoring their valuable time and contribution toward the goal of this event. We also extend our gratitude to our hardworking committees, whose efforts made this possible.

To officially close the event, 𝑴𝒔. 𝑵𝒖𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒔, the 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 ('25-'26), delivered a wonderful honorary message.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making BIOSCOPE a massive success! Let’s keep advocating for sustainable, evidence-based solutions for global health. 🌱🔬

The legendary Leonardo Co was instrumental in discovering species of the Rafflesia, the world’s most famous "monster flower"? As the country’s premier "walking encyclopedia," he didn't just find plants; he mapped the soul of Philippine biodiversity, proving that our forests hold wonders found nowhere else on Earth.
