A presentation of the 2018 PRRC AVP and Inaugural Asia Riverprize Trophy Awarding was shown. This was followed by a presentation on Bio Crest Pharma, Inc. Water Quality Improvement Partnership Project in Estero de Balete. A demonstration of the effects of several water cleansing products from Bio Crest on a sample of murky water from the estero was conducted.
Signing the MOU were Fr. Marcelo V. Manimtim, CM – President, Adamson University; Jimbo M. Mallari – Deputy Executive Director for Finance and Administration, PRRC; Nestor M. Lorenzo – President/CEO, Bio Crest Pharma, Inc.; Clelland E. Lorenzo – General Manager/COO, Bio Crest Pharma, Inc.; Dr. Maria Antoinette C.
