UPTC students, faculty and staff, representatives of the Tacloban City Population Office and Commission on Population and Development Region VIII, and local researchers attended the event. Dean Patricia Arinto welcomed Dr. Tanyag and the forum participants, and Division of Social Sciences chairperson Asst. Prof. Ruth Edisel Rylle Sadian-Cercado received a copy of the book from the author.
 
In the afternoon Dr. Tanyag led a research seminar attended by UPTC’s Political Science students.
