Quezon City, Philippines — Mr. Ronnel Nolos, CES faculty member, is one of 30 participants from across the Philippines who recently completed the 5-day Training Course on Downstream Data Utilization organized by the Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA). The course was held from November 25-29, 2024, at The Oracle Hotel & Residences in Quezon City.
