For Our Farmers Ph. Inc. – Bayanihan Para sa Magsasaka” extended their appreciation to The Educator, official publication of College of Education, Central Luzon State University, upon receiving a total of 4,500-peso cash donation last January 11, 2021. We express our sincere gratitude for your contribution and support to our local farmers and kababayans affected by the recent typhoons and flooding,” stated the organization. For Our Farmers Ph. Inc. is an organization based in San Carlos, Pangasinan and was established on March 26, 2020. It is a youth-led, non-stock, and a non-profit organization that helps and uplifts local farmers and fisher folks. The organization believes that “People who till the land and feed us should never go hungry.” The monetary donation will directly benefit the organization’s Project Sagip, which provides relief goods and hygiene packs to 12 different areas in the Philippines, and grants a small subsidy to local farmers who lost their crops because of the typhoons. “Right now, we have five ongoing relief operations for our kababayans severely affected by typhoon Rolly and Ulysses,” they mentioned.   The Educator accumulated the funds through their recent extension project. Head Illustrator Trinity Salazar and Literary Editor Elle Nikkita Guzman came up with Art for a Cause, where interested individuals may choose from sample designs with corresponding donation amounts, and receive a customized digital image done by Salazar herself. They were assisted by Editor-in-Chief Maricar Javillonar, Associate Editor Billy Joe Nicolas, and the rest of the staffers of The Educator. Initially, 10 slots were opened to the public, but the duration and scope of the project was extended due to additional donation initiatives. All proceeds went to For Our Farmers Ph. Inc. “We chose to turn over the donations to For Our Farmers because their philosophy resonated with us. We are very thankful to those who donated, because together, we are able to support the organization’s philosophy of valuing the welfare of those who feed us,” stated Ms. Coreen Frias, adviser of The Educator.

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.
