In a joint effort, the Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (ISUFST) and De La Salle University (DLSU) conducted focus group discussions (FGDs) on cervical cancer awareness from September 13 to 18 in Iloilo City. The sessions took place in three barangays: Sto. Niño Sur, Arevalo, and Calumpang, Molo, and Balabago, Jaro, with 10 women participating in each community discussion.
The discussions were led by Prof. Michel Celeste, supported by Dr. Ronilo Aponte and Dr. Joana Paula Binas. The ISUFST R&D unit, facilitated the event, with contributions from R&D Director Jescel Boglosa Bito-onon, Eli Gene Tisuela and Charmane Nochete.
