Usec. Mabborang extended his support while commending PSU for coming up with this innovative project considering the contribution of the DOST under its NICER Program.
“This project should be prioritized. If the PSU is ready, we will give a special schedule for a meeting para mauna nang maipasok [materialize] si Asin [Salt R&D Center]. Habang wala pa, you may start with crafting your timeline and other documents needed. I like the concept that you integrate, technology, engineering, and even the culture for this project,” Usec Mabborang added.
