“I am very excited for the MDG workshop since
Silliman is the only university pre-selected to represent

me and my companions,” said senior student Pa-a.

compiled and presented at the Southeast Asia Water Forum
to be held on Oct. 11 at the Asian Development Bank; there
will also be a public screening by Nov. 11.

video on the MDGs that will demonstrate a story about
bringing water to the waterless areas,” said Dr. Maria
