PRESENTATION | LETRAN SENIOR SQUIRES PUT GENDER INCLUSION IN THE SPOTLIGHT AT SALIKSIKASARIAN 2026
Demonstrating the value of student-led research in advancing conversations on gender equality and inclusion, three Grade 12 researchers from Colegio de San Juan de Letran’s Integrated Basic Education Department (IBED) presented their study at SaliksiKasarian 2026: The First GAD Student Conference, held at the University of the Philippines Diliman on October 23–24, 2026.
Ashley Rhian Dela Cerna, Rose Julianne Valenciano, and Alexandra Nicole Fernandez of STEM12D presented their qualitative study entitled “Narratives of Queer Students in Heteronormative Engineering Programs at the University of Santo Tomas,” exploring the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ students in engineering education.
Their participation highlights the importance of student research in fostering inclusive academic environments and contributing meaningful perspectives to contemporary social discourse.
Congratulations to our young researchers for bringing Letran's commitment to research, scholarship, and inclusive education to the academic community!
