“Being resilient doesn’t mean ignoring the roots of vulnerabilities. It is the goal of resilience to improve disaster mitigation. The term must not be demonized,” says Academician Alfredo Mahar Lagmay, NRCP Member of the NRCP Earth and Space Sciences Division, and Professor at the UP National Institute of Geological Studies, during the Session “Securing the Country from Disasters and Climate Change Impacts” of the Annual Scientific Conference and 88th General Membership Assembly of NRCP last March 10, 2021. His presentation is one of the five parallel sessions aptly chosen by NRCP in support of its conference theme “Pagbangon at Pananaig: National Recovery and Rebuilding.”

“UPLB played a vital role in the biosafety framework that we are using (in the country) now. UPLB is at the forefront of biotechnology and always has the latest in biotech techniques,” Dr. Ulanday said.

“The word “biotechnology” in the Philippines is already associated with UPLB such that when I hear someone mention biotechnology, I automatically say that it is probably already being done in UPLB,” he added.

According to Dr. Ulanday, the Philippines was in fact the first country in Southeast Asia to have come up with a national biosafety framework and has UPLB to thank for it.
