Forensic science, particularly DNA analysis, has transformed investigations worldwide by providing concrete biological evidence that helps identify suspects, exonerate the innocent, and ensure justice is served. In the Philippines, where the justice system grapples with prolonged detention and overcrowded jails, integrating forensic science into routine investigations could be a game-changer. In celebration of Women's Month, the Department of Science and Technology Region 1 (DOST Region 1), in partnership with DZAG Radyo Pilipinas Agoo, featured forensic scientist Academician Maria Corazon A. De Ungria in its Tekno Presyensya radio program on March 13, 2025. As the Director of the DNA Analysis Laboratory at the Natural Sciences Research Institute of the University of the Philippines Diliman (NSRI-UPD), De Ungria underscored the critical role of women in forensic science and the broader scientific community.
