 Now a message from Iri's long time partner, a decades-long partnership that goes way back to the time when the institute was founded. And to share this message, we would like to call on our Chancellor, the Chancellor of UPLB, who earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture and Masters of Science in Environmental Science from UPLB. He earned his Doctorate in Landscape Agriculture. This space might need a little bit of landscape architecture from the Tokyo University of Agriculture in 1988. And as landscape horticulturist, planner, arborist, and UPLB official for the past 26 years, Dr. Sanchez has specialized in landscape and turf management and landscape planning. He designed several sites in the UPLB and UP campuses and other agencies here and abroad, including the Centennial Marker of Foserizal in Hibiya Park in Tokyo. Friends, Chancellor, our, I'm sorry, the leader of our next door neighbor and landlord, Chancellor Sanchez. Good afternoon to everyone. This is Excellency Senator C. Chavidiar, Director for SIGGLER, Erie. Of course, a good friend. Good afternoon. It is a great pleasure to be here in inaugurating the new facility that Erie is trying to build in UPLB. So now, in Erie's office. Sorry. Scared to spit the facts. Actually, when Erie wrote the letter to President Pasquale for the renegotiation for the early lease agreement of renewal of Erie, UPLB has supported this initiative. And I think President Pasquale has written a positive reply to Director SIGGLER on this aspect. So on that note, we are supportive of the initiative of Erie. We've been here, you've been here for so long. I was still a young boy when I was exposed to Erie when it was constructed in 1960. So I was born in 1966. So I was happily, Erie was here when I grew up. So what I'm trying to say is Erie is part of UPLB and UPLB is part of Erie. So that is the relationship that we need to establish. So I've always said to Director SIGGLER that when we negotiate, we want to have a partnership. We go beyond the lease or leasey relationship. And we need to be partners based on trust and respect. So on that note, I welcome this facility for UPLB and for Erie's future. Thank you. Thank you very much.
