Dr. Rogelio P. Bayod, Director of Student Services Center of Cor Jesu College brings home the bacon as he grabbed international awards during the International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research( ICMR 2014) and 2nd Global Conference on Education, Business, Engineering and Sciences (GCEBES) on October 17-18, 2014 at Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel, Hong Kong.
Dr. Bayod was declared as Best Oral Presenter, Best in Talent- Diamond Awardee and Best in PowerPoint Presentation– Diamond Awardee after he presented his research entitled “Listen to the Cry from Within – Towards Self-determined Development for the Indigenous People“. He was also the recipient of the World’s Best Abstract Award 2014 in Social Science Discipline. He bested almost one hundred other researchers from various schools of different countries who also presented their researches during the said forum. He also received the Certificate of Membership for International Association of Scholars, Publishers, Editors and Reviewers, Inc.
The said activity was organized by IAMURE Multidisciplinary Research- an international private organization that conducts Research Forums. The forum was participated by different researchers from various countries like Dubai, Canada, Hong Kong, United States of America and the Philippines. The group organizes conferences on research from different countries all over the world twice to thrice a year.
“The main purpose of participating in this international forum is for the public to know the present situation of our Indigenous People and to let other people hear their deepest cry”, said Dr. Bayod during an interview. He discussed that he was inspired to pursue his paper presentation because he was guided by this purpose.
“It is affirming in my part to present to the world the good output of this research” he further discussed. He said that he was motivated to present his research after the organization has accepted his paper. It was also the best time to show to the world that Cor Jesu College has good researches, thus, these researches must be disseminated not just in the Philippines but throughout the world, he added.
Dr. Bayod also shared his insights and experiences in the said event. He learned that accepting opportunities of presenting researches especially outside the country is one of the best avenues to collaborate with other researchers. It is a chance to know additional tools in doing researches. He said that participating in research forums would also affirm that you are doing the right thing, thus, researches should not remain on shelves but it must be presented, he further emphasized.
Moreover, he stressed out that doing research is not difficult and can be fun. He clarified that researchers should not be very rigid. Hence, they must create a facilitative environment, in which aspiring researchers learn not to be afraid but instead love doing research.
Dr. Bayod is looking forward to undertake new researches. The work experience and family relations of OFW’s in Hong Kong are another researchable area, he added. Hence, he is planning to attend the next International Conference on Multidisciplinary Research (ICMR 2015) on April 2015 at Japan.
