He also reiterated the commitment of BFP to assist and protect the lives in the community. Meanwhile, Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, University President expressed his gratitude to the BFP for conducting the activity at the university for the students to have an additional knowledge on disaster preparedness. He also took the opportunity to thank the firefighters who responded to a recent fire incident in the university. “Rest assured that you will have the full support of CLSU as your partner in this kind of endeavor. Salamat din sainyo dahil kamakailan lamang ay nakaranas kami sa CLSU ng malawakang sunog sa aming bamboo plantation at sa inyong mabilis at matiyagang pag-responde ay naapula ang apoy at naiwasang madamay ang aming Broiler Project sa sunog,” said Dr. Abella. The program then proceeded with a presentation of information about the importance of fire safety awareness and the steps necessary for fire prevention to more than 200 faculty, staff, and students. In addition, the Fire Officers demonstrated first aid training, proper use of tools during fire incidents, and rappelling which can be useful in times of fire disasters. Ms. Kimberly Paray, a fourth-year Civil Engineering student who attended the event conveyed the importance of having an event like this to educate them with skills that are useful in emergency situations. “First time kong maka-attend ng ganitong event at talagang marami akong natutunan kasi importante na malaman natin kung ano ang mga dapat gawin kapag may sunog at yung tamang paggamit ng mga equipment,” Ms. Paray added. Also in attendance are Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, VP for Academic Affairs, along with the BFP Officers from San Jose City headed by FSInsp. Julius R. Mangrubang, City Fire Marshall, and the officials from the of Science City of Muñoz LGU, Dr. Raul P. Divino, City Administrator’s Office, Mr. Emmanuel C.

Students from the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA) clinched 3rd Runner-Up in the ASEAN Future Sustainable Leaders Competition (AFSLC) with their project “Pamanang Tumana: A Farmer’s Legacy.” The national-level contest, held on October 4, 2025, brought together accounting students from across the Philippines to present innovative, multidisciplinary solutions to challenges aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Anchored on the theme “Empowering ASEAN Youth for Sustainable Development Goals,” the team’s video highlighted the growing disinterest of youth in agriculture — an issue that threatens the nation’s future food security. As a solution, they featured the CLSU’s Precision and Digital Agriculture Center (PreDiCt), aiming to shift young people’s preconceived negative views about farming through technology and innovation. Competing against 48 official entries and a total of 192 student participants, the team was composed of accounting students namely Joseph Scott I. Bundoc, Shaina Glyssa Castillo, Patrick Enoza, and Tristan Jay P. Nening, under the mentorship of Assoc. Prof. Winnie DC. Villanueva, Asst. Prof. Harold Vincent DJ. Vidaira, and Ms. Via Shane R. Santiago. In addition to securing a podium finish, the team also garnered two special awards that highlighted both their creativity and online presence: Best Video Entry, which recognized the quality and impact of their multimedia presentation, and 3rd Place in Facebook Engagement, awarded for their ability to effectively reach and engage a wide audience. Another team from CLSU also competed in the event with their video project titled “SINEKVAT,” which focused on preserving and sustaining the culture of the Bugkalot indigenous community in Nueva Vizcaya. Their work explored how modern technology can help revive and integrate traditional heritage into the present. This team successfully placed in the Top 18 of the competition. The AFSLC was organized by the Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) Committee on Faculty Development and Research, in partnership with KPMG Philippines and RG Manabat & Co., CPAs, to cultivate socially responsible and innovative young leaders in the accounting field across the ASEAN region.
