The University President, Dr. Evelyn B. Aguirre, also congratulated the participating units for presenting their patentable, copyrightable, and “trademarkable” properties, and their current progress in undertaking this process. With the university stakeholders’ collaborative efforts, Dr. Aguirre concluded that “we are on our way as we take steps and ways forward to becoming a globally recognized university”.
