stratcom | SCO

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

RIDe Fest Champions Bold Innovation and Community Impact

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) officially kicked off its Research, Innovation, and Development (RIDe) Festival 2026 today, October 19, featuring a vibrant community parade followed by an engaging opening program at the Multi-Purpose Gym. In his welcome remarks, Vice President for Administration Dr. Ariel G. Mactal emphasized that research achieves true value only when it directly benefits the community. "A breakthrough becomes truly meaningful when it moves beyond discovery to become a force for positive change," Dr. Mactal noted. Representing Dr. Reynaldo V. Ebora, Dr. Fezoil Luz C. Decena, Director of the Institution Development Division at DOST-PCAARRD, shared an inspiring vision for CLSU to become a full-fledged "Education Economic Zone." She highlighted that higher education fulfills its highest purpose when it directly addresses food security, local livelihoods, and the economic well-being of the Filipino people. “When a university functions as an education economic zone, it creates a self-sustaining cycle,” Dr. Decena explained. “Academic research drives economic value, and economic growth attracts industry partnerships and private investments. Those investments then flow back into R&D infrastructure, student scholarships, and advanced scientific inquiries.” Following the opening ceremony, the university launched the RIDe Fest Expo. The showcase features interactive booths from research centers, academic colleges, agricultural partners, and government agencies, all highlighting cutting-edge breakthroughs and community-centered innovations.
