Central Luzon State University (CLSU) remains at the forefront of human rights advocacy through education, as demonstrated by its active participation in the Lakbay Karapatan Tungo sa Kamalayan (Lakaran) 2024: KAKAMPI Meet, held on September 19, 2024, at the Pavilion, Hiyas ng Bulacan. A major highlight of the event was the recognition of CLSU as a Center for Human Rights Education (CHRE), celebrating the University’s efforts in promoting a culture of respect, dignity, and justice. Dr. Ravelina R. Velasco, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Atty. Jay B. Villafria, Jr. represented CLSU in the ceremonial signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), reaffirming the university's commitment to human rights advocacy. This MOA signifies the strengthening partnership between the CHR and academic institutions. In his opening remarks, Atty. Leoraé Valmonte, Regional Director of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Region 3, emphasized the importance of higher education in institutions (HEIs) in fostering human rights advocacy in the region. "HEIs are the incubators of human rights consciousness," he stated. In his keynote address, Atty. Richard P. Palpal-Latoc, Chairperson of the CHR, reiterated the importance of institutional partnerships in advancing basic rights education. He highlighted that the CHR’s Human Rights Action Centers (HRACs) serve as vital hubs where theoretical knowledge is transformed into practical action. The Region stands a key player in the fight for human dignity and justice, reaffirming its strong commitment to human rights education to ensure that these are both taught and practiced within academic spaces and beyond.
