The Department of Biology, in collaboration with ADSSU Haynayanista, is excited to invite everyone to a fascinating journey into the deep past of the Philippine Islands.
Long before our islands looked the way they do today, ancient animals roamed across the Philippine archipelago. This mini-symposium will explore how these organisms reached the islands, how changing land connections and sea barriers influenced their distribution, and what fossils can reveal about the Philippines’ geological and biological history.
We are honored to welcome 𝘿𝙧. 𝙋𝙖𝙪 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖, Archaeologist and Paleontologist from the University of the Philippines Diliman, who will guide us through the fascinating story of the Philippines’ Pleistocene world.
📍 Venue: ADSSU RIDE Function Hall
🗓️ Date: October 1, 2026
🕙 Time: 10:00 AM
Whether you are a student, faculty member, researcher, biology enthusiast, or simply curious about fossils, evolution, and the history of our islands, you are welcome to join us!
Come curious, come ready to learn, and discover how fossils, islands, and ancient life can help us understand the Philippines through the lens of deep time.
