They were welcomed by UPOU officials, including Dr. Jean A. Slaudadez, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration (OVCFA), Dr. Ricardo T. Bagarinao, Director of the Center for Open and Digital Teaching and Learning (CODTL), Dr. Myra C. Almodiel, Director of the Office of Public Affairs (OPA), and Mr. Lexter J.
