The PhABOT training enabled me to appreciate the biosecurity side of BRM. It has given me the basic tools in doing biorisk assessment and mitigation. I am very grateful that I was able to put to actual practice the theories I learned during the COVID-19 pandemic. successfully keeping at a minimum infection rate in our campus in our city.

The PhABOT Batch 4 Training was a transformative experience for me. It equipped me with the essential skills to fulfill my roles on the University Biosafety and Biosecurity Committee. The program also opened valuable professional networks that continue to support my growth in the field. I am truly grateful for the opportunities this training has created in my continuing journey in biosafety and biosecurity.

I am truly grateful for the PHABOT opportunity. My PHABOT experience was empowering and transformative. Aside from the technical knowledge, it inspired a deeper sense of responsibility and leadership; enhancing my professional competency and reinforcing my commitment to uphold the highest standards of biosafety and biosecurity in the Philippines.

From awareness to action — that’s the PhABOT way. Batch 7 molded us into champions of biosafety and biosecurity, proving that every mindful practice inside the laboratory contributes to a safer world outside it. As a regional laboratory network coordinator and One Health advocate, this transformative experience deepened my commitment to foster a culture of safety, vigilance, and collaboration across our networks. I carry this mission forward, turning safety into a shared culture and responsibility into everyday action — for true leadership in biorisk management begins not with authority, but with accountability.
