Centro Escolar University
Manila City Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno”Domagoso met with the CEU’s officials on Monday (February 8).
Present in the meeting were CEU School of Dentistry Dean Dr. Pearly Lim, CEU Community Dentistry head Dr. Felipe Wilfredo Espineli, and CEU Security Department head Col. Nicanor Grino.
The students’ graduation has been delayed by a year due to lack of practicum.
This as the national government decided to suspend classes to prevent the possible exposure of the students to the virus, the CEU department heads said.
Domagoso agreed to the proposal presented by the CEU’s department heads and stressed that the country’s health sector needs more graduates.
Molecular biologist Fr. Nicanor Austriaco says he hopes to get permission from the government to conduct testing after arriving from the US where he is working on the vaccine.
