Day two of the 2025 ICIDRRM was largely a well-orchestrated sequence of research presentations from a considerably large participation of academic researchers from the different private and state universities/colleges across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The presenters lodged their research papers before a formidable panel of evaluators in the typical peer review process geared towards alignment to the conference’s objectives. Guided by the three thematic areas of the conference namely: a) Disaster Risk Education and Curriculum Innovation in Academia, b)University-Community Linkages for Crisis Preparedness and Recovery, and c) Policy, Planning, and Research for Disaster-Resilient Tourism Destinations, academic minds converged in an intelligent dialogue that seeks to address a pressing issue of the present times.

Serving as the highlight of the paper presentations was the announcement of winners in the said activity. University of the Philippines Open University’s (UPOU) Dr. Ricardo T. Bagarinao et. al. came away with the Best Paper award for their study, “𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘰-𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘖𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘤 𝘊𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴: 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺‚ 𝘓𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘵-𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴”. Dr. Ronald Orale of Samar State University (SSU) was awarded as the Best Presenter.

Meanwhile, Lorelei B. Agcanas, et. al. of Isabela State University (ISU)-Main Campus and ESSU’s own, Dr. Anbony D. Cuanico both earned Special Citations from the evaluators for advancing research, innovation, and evidence-based practices in disaster risk reduction through their respective studies presented in the conference.

As a fitting finale, world-renowned science diplomat, Glenn S. Banaguas provided his keynote address by giving special attention to his involvement in the most recent natural disruptions absorbed by Philippine communities barely a few weeks before the conference - the earthquakes in Davao and Cebu as well as the devastation brought by Typhoon Tino in Talisay, Cebu which was followed only a week later by Typhoon Uwan that swept across the Bicol Region and Northern Luzon. Wrapping up the plenary sessions was Ms. Maria Lourdes D. Dela Calzada from the Office of Civil Defense Regional Office VIII, with an information-rich presentation on 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

The organizers of the 2025 ICIDRRM wish to thank all speakers, presenters, participants, sponsors and members of the various committees for coming together to contribute to the successful staging of this year’s edition of the conference. We look forward to seeing you all again in a bigger and broader 13th ICIDRRM.
