PANABO CITY – Davao del Norte State College (DNSC) hosted Dr. Anthony Halog, a Balik Scientist from the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD), to explore potential collaborations. The event took place on June 27, 2024, at the DNSC Gender and Development (GAD) conference room.
In her welcome remarks, College President Joy M. Sorrosa provided a brief introduction of Dr. Halog, “He is interested in the following areas that are very relevant to the circular economy concept: Computing Information Systems, Agro-Forestry, Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Marine Biology, Food Technology, and Tourism.”
DNSC seeks to leverage Dr. Halog’s expertise to identify forward-thinking partnerships and projects. “Circular economy is essentially a waste-to-wealth concept. Biomass waste, agricultural waste, or even aquaculture waste can be converted to value-adding products,” Dr. Halog explained during his discussion on the circular economy.
To formally conclude the meeting, President Sorrosa and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Girley S. Gumanao, presented Dr. Halog with a token of appreciation.
