Dear Sir/Madam:

Good day!

The Development Studies Program will be holding its annual practicum conference

entitled LALAWIGAN: Mula sa Masa, Tungo sa Masa on July 1 (Tuesday) from 9 AM to 5 PM

at the CAS Little Theater. It will feature the group reports of our senior students about the

social research they conducted among peasant, fisherfolk and indigenous people communities
in various provinces in Central Luzon and Southern Tagalog during their summer practicum.

In view of this, may I request you to allow the following students to attend the activity
as it will be very helpful in familiarizing them in their other field-based activities.
