As part of the project's implementation, the research team conducted the Hydrogen SEEP Stakeholders' Forum in San Antonio, Zambales. The forum was attended by representatives from the ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ง ๐ญ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐, the ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐, the ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ and ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ป, and ๐๐๐ก๐ฅ-๐ ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐๐.
