17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ

The 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ (17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ) inaugurated its 22nd 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Corner at the main library of the Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) in Zamboanga City on July 9, 2013.

The 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Corner is the Institutes knowledge dissemination strategy aimed at making its research outputs more visible and accessible in the provinces. The 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Corner has shelves containing various studies and publications produced by 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ throughout the years. These are made available for free as sources of information for researchers, students, faculty, and local decisionmakers. The Institute started this project in 2006. Since then, there are now 22 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Corners in different parts of the Philippines, the Corner at WMSU being the latest.

In his remarks of bequest, 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ President Gilberto Llanto encouraged students and faculty members to read 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ studies as they are excellent resources on various socioeconomic topics encompassing trade, infrastructure, taxation, health, education, poverty analysis, and climate change, to name a few.

Meanwhile, Dr. Milabel Enriquez-Ho, President of WMSU, expressed her appreciation to Dr. Llanto for choosing the university to host the 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Corner. It is a very timely resource for the university as we are preparing a development roadmap for our future, she said.

Also present during the inauguration were 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Research Information Director Sheila V. Siar who presented the SocioEcononomic Research Portal for the Philippines or SERP-P, an online knowledge resource being maintained by 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ; 17cÆð²ÝÊÓÆµ Senior Research Fellow Adoracion Navarro; Division Chief for Public Affairs Romero Lopez; and Information Officer Phidel Marion Vineles.
