Followed by the opening remarks from the BPA Sophomores Mayors, Ms. Jakeelyn Garcia and Ms. Arlene Anzures, as they emphasize the importance of active participation of the BPA Freshmen.
The main event of the seminar formally commenced as the selected representatives from BPA 2A and BPA 2B discussed their tasked SDGs, which cover the Philippines' actions and achievements towards SDGs and the different mechanisms that help to improve the status of the Filipinos and the Philippines.
The program concluded with insightful knowledge sharing and reflections about the learnings that the freshmen gained from the presenters. For the closing remarks, Dr. Victoria P.
