It also covered the detailed geographic description and survey of occupied sites, including all brownfield sites. Moreover, a list of all existing buildings, facilities, and other infrastructure within the site or property area was presented as well as the cadastral survey of land occupied by CLSU.   Also, the description of the research core, the academic core, and the residential areas, including both faculty housing and student housing were indicated in the CLSU LUDIP. A detailed geographical description of land used for business, agriculture, fishing, forestry, and other activities was also part of the output which includes open and recreational areas, landscape features, and campus transportation systems.   Meanwhile, the costs and financial plan for construction, operation, and maintenance of the University's other infrastructure needs and its budget were also estimated and indicated in the CLSU LUDIP.   Through the CLSU LUDIP, the strategic and innovative direction of all the physical developments to be constructed and/or implemented or the future land use.

CLSU Hosts 8 International Students for Filipino Language and Cultural Immersion

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) has opened its doors to eight international students from prestigious universities in the United States for a firsthand, immersive experience of the Filipino language, culture, and community traditions. The foreign delegates, who comprise four students from Harvard University, three from Northern Illinois University, and one from the University of California, Berkeley, are participating in two specialized tracks: the International Filipino Language and Culture Program and the Green and Global Philippines: Language, Culture, and Sustainability program. Led by the International Affairs Office (IAO), this short-term immersion is a collaborative effort with the College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS), specifically through the Department of Filipino and the Department of Global Studies. The initiative aims to foster deep cross-cultural understanding while offering the delegates an authentic taste of Filipino academic and community life. Upon their arrival, the international students immediately engaged with local customs. One of their first cultural activities was a trip to the local market for a traditional “pamamalengke.” The students received a quick lesson in haggling and successfully navigated the “tawad” culture while interacting with local vendors. Furthermore, the students traveled to nearby communities to learn the intricate art of community-based Sabutan Weaving, practicing the traditional craft alongside local artisans. They also immersed themselves in local spiritual traditions by participating in the unique Taong Putik Festival. In the coming weeks, the international students will participate in various cultural and agricultural activities, including rice planting, goat and carabao milking, and exploring heritage and historic sites across Luzon. The Green and Global Philippines: Language, Culture, and Sustainability program will run until July 3, 2026, while the International Filipino Language and Culture Program will continue until July 25, 2026. Through this collaborative effort, CLSU continues to strengthen its internationalization milestones and solidify its reputation as a leading hub for global academic exchange. By attracting top scholars from world-renowned institutions, the university demonstrates its capacity to bridge local heritage with impactful global education.

Two CLSU Researchers Earn Top Honors at International Research Conference

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) once again proved its research excellence, as one of its faculty researchers and a research assistant received top awards during the 8th JAAP International Research and Development Conference, held on June 18–19, 2026, at Negros Oriental State University (NORSU), Dumaguete City. Dr. Garry A. Benico, faculty researcher of the College of Science and head of the Algal Diversity and Bioresources Laboratory (ADB Lab), secured First Place – Oral Paper Presenter in the Science and Health Category for his research presentation entitled “Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the Philippines: Distribution, Taxonomy, and Emerging Threats.” His award-winning presentation highlighted the current status of harmful algal blooms in Philippine waters, emphasizing the diversity and distribution of bloom-forming microalgae, their impacts on fisheries and public health, and emerging challenges posed by climate change and coastal eutrophication. The study underscored the importance of strengthening monitoring systems and advancing research-based management strategies to mitigate HAB-related risks. Adding to CLSU’s success, Ms. Ma. Andrea L. Dismaya, a Research Assistant from the Freshwater Aquaculture Center (FAC) and College of Fisheries, was recognized as the Best Poster Presenter for her research poster titled “Upscaling of FaST Strain Breeding Nucleus for Wider Dissemination of Quality Broodstocks and Fingerlings for the Tilapia Industry.” The study was co-authored by Dr. Karl Marx A. Quaizon, Director of FAC and the President of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Alumni Association of the Philippines (JAAP). The award-winning poster highlighted efforts to strengthen the Philippine tilapia industry through the expansion of the FaST (FAC Selected Tilapia) strain breeding nucleus, ensuring the wider availability of high-quality broodstocks and fingerlings to fish farmers. The initiative supports increased productivity, genetic improvement, and sustainability within the country’s aquaculture sector. The conference, themed “Empowering Research, Shaping Resilient Futures: Global Collaboration for Scientific Innovation,” brought together researchers, scientists, educators, and industry practitioners from various academic and research institutions to share scientific advancements and foster international collaboration. The recognition received by Dr. Benico and Ms. Dismaya reflects CLSU’s continuing commitment to excellence in research, innovation, and knowledge generation.
