On March 1, 2026, the 𝐒𝐌𝐔 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬 officially commenced a transformative chapter of their OJT at the University of the Philippines Manila. Their journey began with a warm welcome from Dr. Teresa De Guzman, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, before they were placed under the expert mentorship of Sir Alfonso Lumabas for a rigorous two-week immersion into the world of forensic science.

Within the grounds of UP Manila, the interns were challenged to reconstruct the silent narratives of the deceased, gaining hands-on experience in assembling human remains and conducting controlled archaeological excavations. Their understanding of material culture was further deepened through curated visits to the National Museum of Anthropology, where they explored the intersection of human behavior and physical evidence.

The scope of their study extended to the historic town of Taal, Batangas—famously known as the "Vigan of the South" and the "Home of Heroes." Stepping into the Don Leon Apacible Ancestral House, the Doña Marcela Agoncillo House, and the Villavicencio Wedding Gift House, the interns stood where revolutionaries once walked, gaining a profound appreciation for the figures who sacrificed their lives for the nation.

From the architectural grandeur of the Taal Basilica to the serene Shrine of Our Lady of Caysasay, the group witnessed the enduring legacy of Filipino faith and craftsmanship. The visit was punctuated by an interactive look into the local identity of the Balisong and Barong Tagalog Capital. The interns didn't just observe; they engaged with the community through Balisong and Burda (embroidery) demonstrations and even tried their hand at the traditional art of Panutsa making.

We are honored to present an esteemed lineup of experts who will be sharing their invaluable knowledge and field experience at the 1st Regional Forensic Science Conference. Each professional brings a unique and profound wealth of expertise to our theme, ensuring a high-level exploration of various forensic disciplines. Our sessions will be led by seasoned practitioners and academic leaders who have dedicated their careers to the advancement of science and the pursuit of truth.

These guest speakers are recognized for their significant contributions to the field, offering a diverse range of perspectives that bridge the gap between theoretical study and practical application. We are privileged to have such a powerhouse of talent guiding our participants through the complexities of Mass Fatality, Humanitarian Forensics, Forensic Odontology, Forensic Anthropology, Forensic Archaeology, and the collective effort to give a voice to the silent witnesses of history and crisis.
