Education.

John Bryan Rolloque graduated cum laude at the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 2018 under the B.S. Agricultural Chemistry program. In the same year, he obtained his professional license to practice chemistry in the Philippines. The year after, he landed 8th place in the licensure examination for agriculturists.

Currently, he is taking up his master’s degree in plant pathology, also in UPLB. At first, the author finds this endeavor weird since for a very long time, he didn’t want to study plants because plants are boring for him. However, during his undergraduate years, one of his professors in plant physiology opened his eyes to how interesting plants can be. As a result, he decided to change his career path from chemistry to plant pathology.

He is now specializing in plant diseases caused by plant pathogenic viruses.
