During the launch, vice president for Research, Extension, and Intellectual Property Andrew Eusebio Tan, College dean Ophelia Duayan, Talisay City Social Welfare and Development officer Dionela Flores-Madona, and social worker II Leonard Aguiman signed a memorandum of agreement for the implementation of the program in the locality.
