CLSU Acquires First eBus for Nature-friendly Transportation

Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through the Business Affairs Program (UBAP), marked a milestone in campus mobility with the official acquisition of the first Electric Bus (eBus) named Project SULONG (Sustainable University Loop towards Nature-friendly and Green Transportation). The eBus, which can carry 35 passengers (20 seated, 15 standing), was purchased for P 5,488,000.00 and made possible through the University's Income-Generating Project. The vehicle will serve as additional transportation for students, faculty, and staff. The eBus will operate on a cashless payment system as all fares will be exclusively digital. Passengers will pay a fixed fare of P 15.00 regardless of the distance traveled along the loop. However, in the meantime, while the payment system is still being installed, the eBus service will be free of charge. Passengers simply need to present a valid ID to avail of the service. To ensure smooth and convenient transit across the campus, designated pick-up and drop-off points are provided starting from the Main Gate. The eBus will wait for 30 seconds at each designated stop to accommodate passengers. It is also equipped with GPS tracking, allowing students to conveniently monitor the eBus’s real-time location and track its arrival at their preferred stop. The stops include: A. Community Market B. Alumni Food Court C. Administration Building D. College of Home Science and Industry E. Library F. College of Education G. College of Science H. College of Agriculture I. Agricultural Science and Technology School J. College of Fisheries K. College of Veterinary Science and Medicine L. Grandstand M. Guest House N. Ladies Dorm 4 Note: Routes may be adjusted as needed based on passenger demand and operational requirements. The University hopes to acquire a second eBus following the successful implementation and operation of the first unit, subject to the availability of funds and necessary resources. This acquisition demonstrates CLSU’s commitment to providing sustainable, efficient, and eco-friendly transportation options for all stakeholders, especially for the students. #SievingForExcellence

Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through its Freshwater Aquaculture Center (FAC), holds a groundbreaking ceremony for a 20-million-peso Tilapia Breeding Nucleus Facility funded by the Department of Science and the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) today, August 17, at the FAC Grounds. CLSU President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, along with DOST-PCAARRD Executive Director Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora, and Deputy Executive Director for Research and Development Dr. Juanito T. Batalon, led the ceremonial groundbreaking. They were joined by Dr. Fezoil Luz C. Decena, Director of the Institutional Development Division of DOST-PCAARRD; Dr. Cynthia V.

Vera Cruz, Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Extension; Dr. Karl Marx Quiazon, Director of FAC, and other guests. During the program, President Abella emphasized the importance of the new facility for advancing agricultural research and enhancing regional food security. “Today, we are marking the beginning of another important milestone in strengthening the university's contribution to research, innovation, and the development of technologies in the field of aquaculture that can make a difference in the lives of our fisherfolks and partner communities. It should impact the major stakeholders—not merely for publication or generation of technology that will be shelved in the laboratory, but providing an impact in terms of economic standing and the standard of living for our families." Additionally, as part of the project, Dr. Jonathan V. Fabula, Director of the Precision and Digital Agriculture Center, launched and showcased in a technology demonstration the project dubbed “Infusing Smart Farming Technologies in CLSU Tilapia Breeding Nucleus towards Precision and Digital Aquaculture (ISDA),”which features three technologies: Predicount, an AI-assisted Fish Fry Counter; Aquaafeedr, an Autonomous Precision Feeding System; and Predirover, an Autonomous Fry Collection & Harvesting USV. These facility upgrades stand as a clear testament to CLSU’s commitment to improving food sustainability and sufficiency through R&D in the aquatic industry.

CLSU, NAPC, UMANE Hold Symposium and Policy Forum on Food Security

The National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) and the Utak Magsasaka Novo Ecijano (UMANE), in collaboration with Central Luzon State University (CLSU), convened a Symposium and Policy Forum on the Right to Adequate Food: Policy, Practice, and Human Dignity today, July 28, at the University Auditorium. The event gathered over 350 farmers, agricultural representatives, students, partner organizations, and guests who were eager to explore updated agricultural policies, legislation, best practices, and support programs of the government for Filipino farmers. Specifically, the event analyzed the policy framework and provided a direct platform for smallholder farmers and basic sectors to articulate structural challenges regarding market access, fair pricing, and production inputs; leveraged CLSU’s research in climate-resilient agriculture, biotechnology, and sustainable farming systems to offer scalable solutions; and to formulate a multi-sectoral "Nueva Ecija Declaration on the Right to Adequate Food" to serve as a policy brief for local and national lawmakers. During the opening program, CLSU President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella reaffirmed the university’s dedication to farmers as primary stakeholders. "This symposium is both timely and significant because it provides a venue where policymakers, researchers, agricultural experts, community leaders, and farmers can engage in meaningful dialogue. More importantly, it creates an opportunity to share ideas and recommendations that truly address the needs of our community. As a premier agricultural university, we remain steadfast in our commitment to advancing research, innovation, and extension programs that contribute directly to sustainable agricultural and rural development." Representing Nueva Ecija Governor Hon. Aurelio M. Umali as a keynote speaker, Atty. Jose Maria Caesar C. San Pedro highlighted key provincial initiatives, including the P20-per-kilo rice program, the promotion of biochar technology, and direct rice purchasing from local farmers. He emphasized that these programs aim to put people at the center of agricultural growth: "Ang tunay na sukatan ng ating tagumpay ay hindi lamang kung gaano karaming palay, sibuyas, o gulay ang ating naaani. Ang sukatan ay kung ang mga magsasaka ay may disenteng kita, kung ang bawat pamilya ay may sapat at masustansyang pagkain, at kung ang ating agricultural abundance ay nagiging oportunidad, seguridad, at dignidad para sa ating mga mamamayan,” he added. Distinguished guests and dignitaries in attendance included NAPC Lead Convenor Sec. Lope B. Santos III; Science City of Muñoz Mayor Hon. Baby Armi L. Alvarez, represented by OIC Municipal Agriculturist Mr. Leonel P. Parugrug; Department of Agriculture Regional Field Office 3 Regional Technical Director for Operations Dr. Arthur D. Dayrit; former CLSU President and current Umane, Inc. President Dr. Rodolfo C. Undan; and Philippine Carabao Center Executive Director III Dr. Liza G. Battad.
