Massive congratulations to our Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT) Drafting Technology Researchers for successfully showcasing their research poster presentation at the 2nd Philippine Human-Animal Bond Conference 2026 held at Leong Hall, Ateneo de Manila University.

This year's conference centers on "Healing Connections Between Human and Animal" that bridges technical drafting expertise with structural advocacy, the researchers showcased their research study entitled: “A Proposed Biophilic-Designed Shelter for Stray Cats at Marikina Polytechnic College” — that highlights how thoughtful, sustainable architectural drafting can develop safe havens for the campus furry friends while fostering a harmonious environment for the MPC community.

Kudos to the group for a successful poster presentation! 👏

The BIT Drafting Technology researchers are: Marvin Velasquez, Joseph Rustia, Marichu Quinawayan, Maureen Jhoy Arle, Jay-Ar Tolentino, Rexcelyn Olivar, and Jennifer Maravilla with their research adviser Prof. James Phillip Padilla.

May this kind of experience flourished to all other young researchers.

Once a visionary, always a visionary! 💯
