As guest during the latest episode of Philippine Information Agency-Davao del Norte "Sayron Ta! Pakigsayod" radio program, Provincial Science and Technology Office (PSTO) provincial director Judy Donna Nueva Ecija viewed the student interaction with the scientists as a way of instilling appreciation “that science, math, technology are not really difficult to learn.”

A Dabaonon by birth,  Dr. Joey D. Ocon will  be joined by fellow scientist Dr. Victor B. Amoroso in interacting with students during the Salinlahi session.
