After the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Development Academy of the Philippines held in Tagaytay, the DAP sa Mindanao journeyed down South and inaugurated the DAPDevelopmentHubinTawi-tawi, with its esteemed partner, the MSU Tawi-Tawi College of Technology and Oceanography.

The inauguration was graced by the chancellor of MSU Tawi-Tawi, Dr. Mary Joyce Z. Guinto-Sali, and the chancellor of Mindanao State University-Sulu, Dr. Nagder J. Abdurahman, with the company of select MSU vice-chancellors, officials, and representatives of the DAP.

The DAP, through its President and CEO, Atty. Engelbert C. Caronan Jr., MNSA, and Vice President Mark Lemuel L. Garcia have expressed their commitment to developing solutions for pressing needs and capturing the vibrant culture and ecosystem of Tawi-Tawi and the neighboring islands to support the local Blue Island Economy foresight.

The Development Hub will serve as a melting pot for innovation, dialogue, and imagination in co-creating futures in the South.

To engage is to be transformed.

The DAP is deeply grateful not only for the partnership but also for the lasting friendship.

Padayon kita! Salam Duwaa
