As a culminating activity of the SIKAD (Sinag ng Kalinangan, Agapay at Dalubhasaan) week, the Central Luzon State University along with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) sponsored a voter education and registration fair for the students that tackled voters’ rights and responsibilities at the University Auditorium on August 16, 2024. The event commenced with insightful opening remarks delivered by Dr. Ariel G. Mactal, the Vice President for Administration who underscored the vital importance of every student's vote, emphasizing how their collective voices could shape the future of the nation. Furthermore, Atty. Rommel H. Rama, the Provincial Election Supervisor of Nueva Ecija, and Atty. Alvin A. Gutierrez, the Election Officer of Science City of Muñoz also highlighted the importance of voters’ education in their speech. A thorough demonstration of the new Automated Counting Machine (ACM) served as the highlight of the event where Ms. Sarah Asis, COMELEC Information Officer, showcased the features of the machine designed to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and transparency of vote counting. The use of the ACM signifies a major stride towards a more reliable and secure voting system, a crucial development as the country prepares for upcoming elections. In addition to the hands-on experience of both students and university officials on how to use the ACM, attendees were also provided with services such as Local and Register Anywhere Program (RAP) of the COMELEC which catered to students who reside in other provinces.

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. The Cultural Affairs Office (CAO), headed by Dr. Florante Ibarra, led 162 dedicated student-artists across various disciplines, supported by a strong cohort of 31 coaches and trainers during the parade and opening program. 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). As of today, the CLSU delegation has successfully accumulated a total of 78 points, placing the university in a formidable second-place tie with NEUST. As the festival progresses, the entire CLSU community extends its full support and pride to its student-artists, who serve as the University's cultural ambassadors.
