During the meeting, Dr. Villanueva presented updates on projects sponsored by the LGU Tagum City.

She also provided details on the progress of the research undertaken by the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students for LGU Tagum, which includes a system to be used for office operations.
