I thought this email beforehand would be opportune to share some good news/progress regarding the startup of the IP Philippines.
Last Saturday June 16, we held the first IP workshop at the University of the Philippines DNA lab. Attending were:
- College of Law, Ateneo de Davao University;
- College of Law, De La Salle University;
- DNA Analysis Laboratory, NSRI, University of the Philippines;
- Free Legal Assistance Group [FLAG];
- Give Up Tomorrow Team; and
- Office of Legal Aid, College of Law, University of the Philippines.
