Presenter: Endro Winarno
Paper Title: Disaster Risk Management for Persons with Disabilities
List of Questions:
- Safwaan Z. Allison: "how can gov't/ agencies know who is disabled in their area?"
- Safwaan Z. Allison: "also, you mention physical disabilities, how about those with mention or emotional disabilities/ issues? mental whoops"

- Chris Xander Bautista: "In your perspective, what systemic barriers continue to hinder inclusive disaster risk management despite existing international policies on disability rights?"
- Safwaan Z. Allison: "another question- does involvement/ eliciting opinions require actually doing what they say, or is involvement just procedural?"
- Rica Mae Palmaera: "Based on what I know, there is often a disconnect between written policy and physical execution. Based on your field observations, what is the most significant practical barrier local agencies face when attempting to translate these inclusive policies into immediate, actionable support during rapid-onset disasters?" John
- Lloyd Desuyo: "From a grassroots community organizing perspective, how can local village or barangay leaders realistically start redesigning their current frameworks to ensure disabled individuals are included in early warning systems without waiting for top-down government mandates?"
- MARK MOSUELA AQUINO: "Do you have long-term plans to present your study/research before an international organization such as the United Nations, ASEAN region, etc.? If yes, will you consider including in your studies mental health issues and other disabilities? If no, what limits your plan and how will you address it?"

Paper Title: Applicant Behavioral Intentions Toward AI-Enabled Recruitment and Selection Systems in the BPO Industry
List of Questions:
- Anna: "Kayla, in the Philippine setting considering that not all have the high in gadgets to use, how does AI affects the applicants from other cities?"
- Safwaan Z. Allison: "Is it rational for potential employees/ employers to have a low level of trust in AI recruitment given that it is unable to get a 'feel' for applicants ability to 'fit' within a team? interpersonal relationships are important within the workplace [and other contexts]"
- Rica Mae Palmaera: "Did your data reveal if this anxiety is uniform across the 400 applicants, or are there specific demographics or experience levels within the talent pool that are disproportionately affected by this AI skepticism?"
- Dr. Rowena Ocier: "How is a balanced human-AI generally the most effective model for recruitment?"
- John Lloyd Desuyo: "For local BPO companies that desperately need AI for high-volume hiring speed, what is the single most effective transparency practice they can implement right now to make their AI tools feel safe rather than anxiety-inducing to Filipino applicants?"
- Safwaan Z. Allison: "is AI recruitment likely to exacerbate age-based discrimination?"
Track Management Science

Track Green Economics
Presenter: Muhammad Aslam
Paper Title: Sustainable Practices in Business: A Case Study on Green Economy Implementation in Pakistani SMEs
List of Questions:

- Santi Rahmawati: "Can you explain how the actual triangulation process carried on? Since you were use the case study methodology"
Presenter: Ahmeed Widino
Paper Title: The Effect of El Nino and La Nina on the Export Performance of Indonesian Agriculture Commodities
List of Questions:

- Safwaan Z. Allison: "Do you think the recent Rupiah fluctuations will interact with the effects of el nino/ la nina in future?"
- Rica Mae Palmaera: "I want to ask about La Nina since it had a positive impact on exports, excessive rain often causes flooding. In your observation, what specific factor drove this positive trend during La Nina years?"
