Danao campus instructor Romelito Bayno Jr. has officially started his research work in Canada, under the 2026–2027 Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development-Phase 2 (SEED-2) Program.
Following results on June 13th, Bayno, alongside three others from Cebu Technological University, is hosted by the institution’s long-time ally Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).
The College of Technology faculty member is receiving a grant worth C$10,200 (approximately ₱420,000) for visa processing fees, round-trip international airfare, health insurance, accommodation, utilities, meals, domestic transportation, books, academic supplies, and other living and study-related expenses throughout the semester-long stay at UQAM.
Funded by the Canadian government, the program primarily supports innovation, research collaboration, and institutional partnerships among higher education institutions across ASEAN and Canada./IAI
