The DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) and the Malayan Colleges Laguna, Inc. (MCL) had just forged a partnership for research and development activities.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding, the parties may conduct joint R&D projects and skills development activities such as seminars and workshops related to research. The DOST-FPRDI may also be tapped in the conduct of student research activities such as theses, dissertations and capstone projects.
The Institute will also be one of the priority on-the-job training sites for MCL’s Senior High School students.
“The opportunities and experiences during the internship hope to prepare the Malayan students for their respective future careers. We are excited about this collaboration with the College and look forward to the many R&D outputs that will arise from this partnership,” said DOST-FPRDI Director Romulo T. Aggangan.
The MOU signing last 24 November 2022 was attended by MCL officials Mr. James Ronald O. Mesina, Assistant Vice President of the Office for Academic Services and Dr. Hermie A. Articona, Director of the Research Promotions and Coordination Office; and DOST-FPRDI officials - Director Aggangan, Deputy Director Rico J. Cabangon, Technical Services Division Chief Maria Cielito G. Siladan, Technology Innovation Chief Loreto A. Novicio, and Engr. Ceazar A. Cuaresma. #### (Apple Jean C.
