The partnership builds upon the initial discussions on the proposed project held on January 31, 2026, at St. Mutien College in Dau, Pampanga, where both institutions explored collaborative opportunities in innovation, agribusiness, and community development.

Vera Cruz (2025), whose achievements highlighted the University’s strong culture of research, extension, and technology transfer. It paved the way for this institutional partnership. Through BCYF, new opportunities will be opened for faculty, students, farmers, and entrepreneurs as CLSU strengthens its role in inclusive innovation and community development.
