About this listen
In this episode of The Forensic Lens Podcast, I examine a persistent structural problem in Philippine forensic science education: the widening gap between what universities prepare students for and what operational forensic agencies are realistically designed to provide. Drawing from years of teaching, mentorship, and professional experience in the Philippines, the UK, and Australia, I discuss why many forensic science students reach their final years academically prepared—yet struggle to secure the internship placements required to complete their training on time.
This episode looks at the limits of operational agencies as training environments, the consequences of expanding forensic degree programs without parallel instructional infrastructure, and why forensic science cannot be taught by separating scientific technique from legal responsibility. More importantly, it asks what sustainable, purpose-built training systems might look like if the discipline is to mature responsibly in the Philippine context.
