2016 marks the 20th anniversary of the DNA Analysis Laboratory of the Natural Sciences Research Institute at the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD-NSRI- DAL). On 16 May 1996, UP President Dr. Emil Q. Javier signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with Philippine Vice President Joseph E. Estrada who was then the chair of the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC), formally creating a laboratory that would pioneer the entry of DNA forensics into the Philippines. Dr. Saturnina C. Halos actively worked towards the creation of UPD-NSRI-DAL and became its first head. She was a full-time researcher holding a University Researcher V position at NSRI at that time but subsequently accepted a faculty position at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (UPD- MBB). After the transfer, Dr. Halos relinquished the task of overseeing the daily operations of the laboratory to the most senior researcher of the team while continuing to oversee the overall management of the laboratory. The UPD-NSRI-DAL suffered birth pangs during the first few years because of limited finances, huge workload of the five junior staff members, a majority of whom were studying part time, and the instability brought about by the successive resignations of several persons who were appointed to head the laboratory after Dr. Halos. This was the situation I was faced with when I was appointed to be the fifth laboratory head in February 1999. This essay narrates the challenges that the DNA team faced in the early years after my appointment and the means we used to hurdle these obstacles in order to strive for excellence to fulfill our mandate and put into life the motto ‘science at the service of society’. 41
