A huge ‘thank you’ to all the Vice Presidents whose untiring support for the sucess of the overall LIKHA Summit 2025 have truly made significant impact.

Special recognition is also given to the LIKHA Summit Organizing Committee, chaired by Dr. Jaymer Jayoma, for their dedication and tireless efforts in ensuring the success of ICARES 2025.

We likewise extend our heartfelt appreciation to our committed college Deans:

• Dr. Roger T. Sarmiento – College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences
• Dr. Elizabeth Parac – College of Agriculture and Agri-Industries
• Professor Henson Dejarme – College of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

Your leadership and support were instrumental in the smooth coordination of this global gathering.

This milestone would not have been possible without the significant contributions of our working committees, panel of paper evaluators, and the tireless energy of our volunteers. Your teamwork, passion, and dedication truly brought ICARES 2025 to life.

A special mention also goes to Mr. Robert Louis B. Bebis for designing the official logo of ICARES, a symbol that reflects our collective commitment to climate action and sustainability.
