This is probably why De Vera, a cycling enthusiast himself, used his love for cycling in a recent video inviting everyone to support CHED’s “Edutourism: Study in the Philippines Program or StudyPH-Edutourism.”
“We are inviting you to join us in our journey around the Philippines and in spreading to the whole world the Study in the Philippines – Edutourism Program,” said De Vera said in a video posted on the Facebook page of CHED Study in the Philippines Edutourism.

Jiro T. Adorador, Zhereeleen D. Meneses-Adorador, and J. Peter Quakenbush named the new species as Medinilla malabrigoi, in honor of Filipino taxonomist and UPLB professor Pastor L. Malabrigo Jr. for his invaluable contribution to Philippine flora conservation.
The decription of the new species was published in the international scientific journal Phytotaxa on Feb. 10, 2021.
Adorador noted that the “holotype” of the plant was collected on July 13, 2017. “But we have seen it way before, around December 2013, and have been observing and pondering on it being a new species since then,” he told the Manila Bulletin.
“The new species is only known atop several forests over limestone in the municipality of Paranas, Samar, which is within Samar Island Natural Park (SINP),” the journal read.
