Chapter 164: Chapter 164: 164

Meanwhile in the Philippines,

Emperor Alfonso, with a vision for the future and a commitment to the well-being of his people, stood at the forefront of progress in the Empire of the Orient. On a bright morning in the Philippines, he embarked on a journey to inaugurate a groundbreaking institution—the Oriental Institute for Disease Control, or OIDC.

The location chosen for this historic event was carefully selected, reflecting the strategic importance of health and research in the empire's overall development. The OIDC was poised to become a beacon of scientific advancement, mirroring the renowned Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States.

As Alfonso arrived at the inauguration site, a sprawling complex nestled amid lush greenery, the significance of the moment weighed heavily on his mind. He was not merely inaugurating a facility; he was laying the foundation for a resilient and healthy future for his people.
