Established in 1982, the Society of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (ASBP) aims to promote and represent the science and practice of taxonomy, systematics and natural history in the district. Membership in the ASBP is open to anyone who supports the goals of the organization. ASSOCIATION OF SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGISTS OF THE PHILIPPINES In meetings related to scientific discovery and research, “beyond borders” is the most appropriate topic in a rapidly changing environment.
The Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines, in collaboration with the UST Graduate School, has come up with a timely venture that brings together an elite community of biologists in the country in one gathering. It is against this backdrop that I would like to congratulate the Association of Systematic Biologists of the Philippines (ASBP) for this momentous project of holding the 2016 Symposium and Annual Meeting. Some of the charter members are still active and doing research even today and are fortunately here with us in this meeting.
I am also proud to share that the ASBP is one of the few professional organizations in the Philippines to publish a scholarly journal dedicated to the discipline. the Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology. Please accept my deepest thanks to all members of the National and Local Organizing Committees, in particular the Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, for bringing about the ASBP 2016.

Lit, Jr. is Professor 1 at the Environmental Biology Division, Institute of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, UPLB and concurrently director of the UPLB Museum of Natural History. Ireneo or "Jun" earned his PhD and MS degrees in Systematic Entomology and his BS Agriculture (Major in Entomology) from the University of the Philippines Los Banos. Jun was an honorary visiting postgraduate research fellow in ecology, evolution and systematics at the Australian National University from 1994-1997. At UPLB, he teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in Ecology, Environmental Biology, Environmental Management, Evolutionary Biology, Tropical Conservation Biology, Entomology, Systematics, Cave Ecology, Scientific Writing, Natural Sciences – The Living Planet (A general education course covering aspects of astronomy, geology and biology).
Promoting Parataxonomists Training Course in Japan
Department of Forest Biological Sciences, College of Forestry and Natural Resources, and The Forestry Herbarium, Museum of Natural History, The University of the Philippines – Los Baños,. Incomplete knowledge of taxa and the general lack of taxonomists has been presented by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) as a 'taxonomic impediment' to its implementation. Yet taxonomic information is essential to address many critical issues of biodiversity and its conservation.
He is currently Professor 12 in the Department of Forest Biological Sciences, College of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of the Philippines, Los Baños. He received his doctorate in botany (1994) from the University of New South Wales (Australia); MA in Plant Taxonomy (1981) from the University of Reading (England); MA in Forestry (majoring in Forest Botany) (1980) and BS in Forestry (majoring in Forest Biological Science) (1975) from the University of the Philippines, Los Baños.
