Adrian C. Dela Cruz, a Master of Science in Aquaculture student, participated in the 5th International Conference on Integrated Natural Resources and Environment Management (INREM 2025) from November 18 to 20, 2025, at Acacia Hotel in Alabang, Manila. This year's event focused on the theme “𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 (𝙄𝙉𝙍𝙀𝙈): 𝙉𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚-𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮.”

Dela Cruz delivered an oral presentation on the research titled “𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙌𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘼𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙒𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘽𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙡𝙡-𝙎𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝘼𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚: 𝘿𝙧𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙩 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙬𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚 (𝙈𝙎𝙋𝙇), 𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙣, 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙯𝙤𝙣,” during the Landscapes and Seascapes session.

The study was co-authored by a team that included: Dr. Lorenz J. Fajardo, Dr. Alvin T. Reyes, Mr. Ricardo A. De Guzman, Ms. Marjorie M. Ramirez, Ms. Maureen G. Tamayo, Ms. Danielle Clarisse G. Gonzales, Mr. Ace S. Aguillo, Mr. Reniel R. Dandan, Ms. Cheryl Grace Hoggang, Mr. Eddieboy T. Jimenez, Ms. Ave Joy C. Ramos, Asst. Prof. Junard A. Catabay, Mr. Aries Paul D. Padron, Ms. Cherry Ann G. Kindipan, Asst. Prof. Lara Millen S. Pengson, Prof. Janet O. Saturno, Dr. Hazel Monica M. Peralta, Dr. Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz, Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, and Dr. Karl Marx A. Quiazon.

Their research emphasizes the need for seasonal water quality monitoring and sustainable management strategies that support the resilience of small-scale aquaculture, especially in protected water bodies like MSPL.

INREM 2025 maintains its reputation as a leading event that encourages collaboration among experts and practitioners in natural resources and environmental management. This year’s conference included plenary and parallel sessions, poster presentations, and student research sessions, along with various side events aimed at strengthening the connection between science, policy, and community.

Notably, INREM 2025 is a historic milestone as the first carbon-neutral international conference in the Philippines. It serves as a model Nature-based Solutions (NbS) initiative that promotes ecosystem-based resilience and sustainable development. The event brought together scientists, early-career researchers, policymakers, practitioners, students, and stakeholders from state universities, national government agencies, local government units, research institutions, civil society organizations, and the private sector.

Dela Cruz’s involvement highlights the increasing influence of young researchers in promoting climate-resilient aquaculture and advancing sustainability efforts across the nation.

Mr. Jemuel O. Tacaca, a candidate for Master of Science in Aquaculture, has completed his thesis under the guidance of his Advisory Committee—Chair Dr. Alvin T. Reyes and Members Dr. Lorenz J. Fajardo and Dr. Hazel Monica M. Peralta.

Mr. Tacaca's study investigated the prevalence of Enterococcus spp. in Tilapia aquaculture systems and identified associated risk factors influencing pathogen occurrence. By addressing microbial risks in Tilapia production, the study contributes to food safety, public health protection, and the long-term sustainability of local fisheries in Pampanga and similar aquaculture communities.

Ms. Gedielyn A. Paje, a candidate for Doctor of Philosophy in Aquaculture, presented her dissertation outline, which focuses on the potential of brown macroalgae as a natural source of antibacterial and antioxidant compounds.

By exploring bioactive compounds from marine resources, the research aims to provide eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic antibiotics, helping address the global challenge of antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture. This contributes to more resilient fish production systems, reduced chemical use, and sustainable food security.

Furthermore, her dissertation is well aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study supports Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-Being, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Life Below Water.

Ms. Gedielyn will be working on her dissertation with the guidance of Dr. Alvin T. Reyes, Dr. Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz, Dr. Karl Marx A. Quiazon, Dr. Kustiariyah Tarman (IPB University, Indonesia), and Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco.

Mr. Ricardo A. De Guzman, a candidate for Doctor of Philosophy in Aquaculture, successfully defended his dissertation outline. His study investigates the development of a practical vaccine to address bacterial infections that cause significant losses in tilapia production, involving three phases: optimization of pH inactivation for vaccine formulation, evaluation of protective efficacy through survival and histopathological analysis, and assessment of immune responses via hematological and enzymatic indicators.

Mr. De Guzman will conduct his dissertation under the guidance of his advisory committee, Dr. Alvin T. Reyes, Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Dr. Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz, and Dr. Karl Marx A. Quiazon, all faculty members of the Department of Aquaculture, College of Fisheries. The study is expected to contribute to improved disease prevention strategies and enhance the sustainability of tilapia aquaculture in the Philippines.
