CLSU Talent and Artistry Shine at CAASUC III

Student-artists from 13 participating universities in Central Luzon ignite the 2025 Culture and Arts Festival of State Universities and Colleges (CAASUC III) with their talent and passion. The event, held at Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), commenced on November 22 and runs until November 26, 2025.

Dr. Ibarra, expressing his deep gratitude to the university's representatives, delivered a compelling statement on the significance of the cultural program, stating: “Sa patimpalak na ito ipinamamalas ang kahusayan ng mga talentong hinulma’t hinubog sa loob ng ating pamantasan. Gayundin, itinatampok dito ang ’di matawarang dedikasyon ng mga mag-aaral at mga tagapagsanay sa kanilang paglalaan ng oras at yaman sa patuloy na paglinang ng kani-kanilang mga larangan. Sa suporta ng kasalukuyang administrasyon, mula sa bumubuo ng CAO, ang aming pasasalamat ay wagas at taos-puso. Pinapatunayan lamang nito na ang CLSU ay hindi lamang sentro ng agham at agrikultura, bagkus ay isa ring lunduyan ng sining at kultura.” The CAASUC III serves as the premier platform for State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Central Luzon to showcase talent, promote cultural preservation, and foster camaraderie. Aside from CLSU, other participating universities include Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT), Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU), Bulacan State University (BULSU), National Aviation Academy of the Philippines (NAAP), Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), Pampanga State University (PSU), Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA), President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU), Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), and Tarlac State University (TSU).

CLSU Secures P7.4M Innovation Grant from DEPDev to Boost Food MSMEs in the Region

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) through the College of Home Science and Industry-Department of Food Science and Technology (DFST) received a financial grant from the Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDev), amounting to P7,446,200.00, to enhance its capacity to support local food businesses in the region. The funding for the project, "Enhancement of the CLSU Sensory and Consumer Science Laboratory for Accelerated Food Product Development for Central Luzon MSMEs," will be utilized to support at least 70 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in developing and refining new food products, helping them become more competitive in the market. According to Dr. Joel G. Juvinal, current Head of DFST and the designated Project Leader for the grant, one of its objectives is the acquisition of advanced equipment and new tools that will directly support the laboratory's efforts to provide high-level scientific and technical assistance to its partner MSMEs. The project aims to significantly reduce product development failures and increase commercialization success. This will be done by upgrading laboratory facilities and equipment, offering structured sensory and consumer testing services, and building a regional database of consumer insights. “It will serve as a sustainable platform for industry-academe collaboration, empower local food entrepreneurs, and contribute to regional economic development through innovation-driven support for small-scale food enterprises in Central Luzon,” Dr. Juvinal said. Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, University President, extended his sincere gratitude to the DepDev for supporting the university's mission to improve the community and pledged the responsible and efficient use of the grant to ensure the greatest benefit for the region’s food industry. The grant received was one of the 11 new projects approved for funding under the 2025 Innovation Grants by DEPDev, which are designed to strengthen local communities and industries, enhance public service delivery, restore and protect vital ecosystems, and advance safety and resilience.

Project HANDOG: An Outreach Activity for Farmer Families Affected by Typhoons

In light of the recent devastating typhoons and the hardship faced by many victims, especially in Nueva Ecija, the CLSU Administration has decided to cancel the annual Universitywide Year-End and Thanksgiving Party this year, as per memorandum no. 2025-11-21 (01). Instead of holding a celebration, efforts and resources are being directed to conduct an Outreach Activity dubbed as Project HANDOG (Hakbang ng Akademya para sa Nasalanta, Dala ay Oportunidad at Ginhawa) to provide aid and support through the Technology Village Program to 500 Farmer families in Barangay Burgos, Caranglan, Nueva Ecija. The entire CLSU community is encouraged to channel the true spirit of Bayanihan into meaningful action through helping its neighboring communities and rebuilding hope this holiday season. With this, goods and in-kind donations are welcome and appreciated; however, the University encourages monetary contributions, as these will allow the procurement of uniform grocery items. Inquiries and concerns may be directed and coordinated with the Office of the President through (044) 940 8785. #CLSULiwanagNgPagAsa #SievingForExcellence
