Joedel O. Peñaranda, executive assistant to the President, and Atty. Dick Guiller Delfin, legal officer and director of the Internationalization Affairs of Biliran Province State University, have been accepted to participate in the Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) Conference 2025, at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, this year. 

The HPAIR conference, established in 1991, is a renowned international platform that brings together students, academic professionals, and global leaders to engage in discussions on key issues related to Asian and international relations. Participants from around the world are selected for their academic and professional backgrounds.

Themed “Generational Transitions: Passing the Torch, Paving the Way,” this event serves as a venue for thought leaders from various sectors, including politics, business, and technology, to exchange insights on global challenges and opportunities. 

Moreover, HPAIR is a non-profit organization associated with the Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and the conferences it hosts are run by Harvard University. 

In his recent post, Atty. Delfin expressed his gratitude to the university through President Victor C. Cañezo, Jr. "Many thanks to Pres. Cañezo Jr. for allowing me to grab this opportunity, you are indeed a firm believer in transborder leadership," he wrote.

BiPSU President Dr. Victor C. Canezo Jr. also expressed his pride in the two employees. "We are incredibly proud of Joedel and Atty. Delfin for being selected to attend such a prestigious event,” he said. “They deserved this after their hard work and commitment to their personal development. We look forward to the valuable insights they will bring back to BiPSU, which will undoubtedly help us in our goal to advance as a globally competitive institution."

Both Peñaranda and Atty. Delfin will be attending the said conference with no funds from BiPSU being used for their travel expenses. Furthermore, both employees will be utilizing their personal funds for the said event.

Congratulations EA Peñaranda and Atty. Delfin!
