by Ivien Prinze Fetalino | Reprimo
The Reprimo (RPRM) gene family is a group of single-exon genes that is unique to vertebrates. From the last common ancestor of vertebrates, Reprimo genes diverged and diversified after two rounds of whole genome duplications between 676 and 615 million years ago. In humans, Reprimo is a potential tumor-suppressor gene that regulates the Cdc2-cyclin B1 complex activity and the p53-mediated cell cycle arrest at G2. In the advent of modern science and technology, the Reprimo gene family becomes a hotspot of genetic discoveries.
Seven enthusiastic individuals come together to join the GeneSoc family that keeps getting bigger and brighter! Batch Reprimo is composed of five BS Biology students - Janet, Mark, Ivien, Cisco, and Len; one BS Agriculture student - Geromn; and one BS Mathematics and Science Teaching student - Channy. Their unbreakable bond stems from the unique and charming personalities of each member harmonizing well with one another.

One of her hobbies is reading fiction novels while listening to the sound of rain; and someday, she dreams of writing a novel that depicts love and life. As a student, she is eager to learn everything about Genetics and to finish college with no regrets.
Francisco Escala III
Cisco is probably the coolest member of the batch. He loves to eat out with friends and have a good time. A serious face matched with incredible humor is his biggest asset - making lasting impressions on everyone. As an artistic and thoughtful person, Cisco generously lends his time and talent to the organization. He spends his free time playing video games and watching movies with friends.

His cheerful and kind personality is reciprocated with love from his family and friends. As an aspiring educator, Channy makes sure to bring science closer to his students.
Geromn Gabriel Dacquil
Geromn is the most popular member of the batch, known for being approachable and outspoken. He is a spontaneous person who loves to celebrate after a long tiring week at school. He pours out his heart while singing his favorite songs at the videoke. He also loves to play Mobile Legends and go on hikes with friends.
