Through their experience and technical assistance, I was able to set up and launch easyDNA Philippines in a very short period of time.

We believe there is a great market opportunity here if we are able to overcome some of the logistical and socio-economic aspects that are peculiar to the Philippines.

However, given our extensive international experience, we are confident we will able to make DNA testing more accessible to the local population at affordable prices."
