ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

The Philippine Institute for Development Studies (ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´) inaugurated its 22nd ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Corner at the main library of the Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) in Zamboanga City on July 9, 2013. The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Corner is the Institute's knowledge dissemination strategy aimed at making its research outputs more visible and accessible in the provinces. The ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Corner has shelves containing various studies and publications produced by ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ 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 ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Corners in different parts of the Philippines, the Corner at WMSU being the latest. In his remarks of bequest, ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ President Gilberto Llanto encouraged students and faculty members to read ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ 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 ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ 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 ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ 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 ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´; ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Senior Research Fellow Adoracion Navarro; Division Chief for Public Affairs Romero Lopez; and Information Officer Phidel Marion Vineles.
