“Only those things that we can control, we can develop, we can discover…will give us a chance to be able to contribute more positively to our field in the academe, to our people in our country, and also to the rest of the world, if ever that knowledge, if ever that discovery will be translated into something that will impact mankind,” Consul General de Borja stated at the opening of the conference on 01 November 2018 at the Westin Resort Guam.
