Santos 09:16 PM, Oct 25, 2023 

I am Jeremy Santos, a 4th-year at the Ateneo de Manila University majoring in BFA Information Design. For my undergraduate thesis, I am conducting individual interviews that explore the dangers of disinformation specific to vape and vaping posed by commercial influences and government policies. I am inviting five (5) to ten (10) government officials from DOH (specifically those who engage with public health) to participate in my individual interviews as they are vital in obtaining information regarding the framework surrounding the prevalence of the vape epidemic among Filipino teenagers.
