As we conclude this year's Annual In-house Review, I would like to take a moment to extend our

heartfelt appreciation to our distinguished university officials, led by our esteemed President, Dr.
Felipe Salaing Comila. Your unwavering support and unwavering commitment to fostering an
environment of research and development excellence have been instrumental in shaping the
trajectory of our institution.
I also want to acknowledge our Vice President for Research and Extension, Johnny Guzman Dati
Sr., along with our other sector Vice Presidents. Your guidance and leadership have played a
pivotal role in propelling BSU's vision forward. Through your dedication, we continue to set new
standards for academic and research excellence.
To the esteemed panel of evaluators representing various categories, including Science and
Technology, Social Non-AANR Education, Social AANR, S&T FIEET, and Development, we
owe a profound debt of gratitude. Without your expertise and valuable input, we would not have
been able to achieve our objectives for this activity. Your comments and suggestions are
invaluable, and they hold the promise of enhancing the performance of BSU Researchers in their
future endeavors.
I must also commend the diligent members of the different committees who have worked
tirelessly to ensure the success of this event. Your dedication and teamwork have allowed us to
reach new heights in the realm of research and development.
Now, as we reflect on the theme of this year's Annual In-house Review, "Propelling BSU's
Vision through Responsive and Innovative Research and Development Outcomes," we are
reminded of the profound role that universities play in the betterment of humanity. We are not
just centers of learning; we are beacons of hope, driving positive change in society through the
pursuit of knowledge and innovation. Our commitment to excellence in research is not merely an
academic pursuit but a moral obligation to improve the lives of individuals and communities.
The Office of Extension Services eagerly awaits the opportunity to collaborate with you for the
dissemination and application of these research outcomes, which will undoubtedly contribute to
helping our clients lead more meaningful and enjoyable lives.
In closing, I want to express my profound gratitude to everyone who has participated in this
year's In-house Review. Your dedication and hard work serve as an inspiration to us all, urging
us to strive for greater achievements in the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of human
lives. Together, as researchers, educators, and leaders, we possess the power to propel BSU's
vision to greater heights and make a profound impact on the world.
Let us continue to work together with unwavering passion and purpose to fulfill our university's
mission and create a brighter future for all of humanity. Thank you and have a great weekend
