Expectedly, she added, this should lead to opportunities for learning and sharing of scientific knowledge. Meanwhile, Dr. Arnel del Barrio, PCC executive director, noted the significance of the review specially to first time presentors and budding researchers who can acquire learnings in the process. He deemed that to be able to write, have it evaluated and to present is already a success on the part of a researcher.
