"Introduction to Concrete Petrography": Leonila Bron, Chelly Mei Tanpoco, Nancy Aguda, Ma. Elizabeth Laus as resource speakers in PhilConstruct 2026 TechnoForum
April 23, 2026
Our team successfuly held the TechnoForum at PhilConstruct Luzon 2026 held at the SMX Convention Center, Clark, Pampanga on April 23, 2026.
The activity covered a quick background on Philippine geology, aggregate and mineral evaluation, and the role of cement types and additives in ensuring concrete integrity. These topics were delivered by Leonila Bron, Chelly Mei Tanpoco, Nancy Aguda, and Ma. Elizabeth Laus. The session highlighted the importance of using concrete petrography as a mitigating and diagnostic tool in the deterioration of concrete.

DOST boosts efforts to strengthen 'lifeline structures'
The Department of Science and Technology has tapped the University of the Philippines experts to help in the ongoing structural inspection of some 60 so called "lifeline structures" in Metro Manila. This is in line with measures to ensure their integrity during calamities. Moreover, this is also in preparation for the "Big One", the earthquake that might hit Metro Manila and nearby areas.
