The MOU signing was led by NBSC College President Dr. Christie Jean Villanueva-Ganiera, CESE, and DILG Provincial Director Rhona Pedraza-Abadilla, with the GLOCES Research Team, headed by Dr. Josefino M. Ladao, Jr., serving as witnesses.
Through the collaboration, NBSC and DILG seek to promote evidence-based environmental governance, climate resilience, community engagement, and continuous institutional improvement across Bukidnon.
