Moreover, the CF and ICCEM organized a seminar entitled, "Agronomy to Gastronomy: Sustainable Producing Farmers and Responsible Eating Consumers," on May 10, 2023, which was attended by a total of 138 participants. The event was led by the BSF 4-2 students enrolled in the subject FISH 4398 (Seminar), supervised by Dr. Lorenz J. Fajardo, which aimed to promote the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production, SDG 13: Climate Action, and SDG 14: Life Below Water. The Founder and Senior Executive Director of Youmanitarian International, Mr. Clarence Luther S. Bulanadi, served as the Resource Speaker, where he shared an overview of the challenges being faced by the Agricultural and Fisheries sector in the Philippines due to climate change. He also discussed the impacts of food wastage on the environment and provided various and simple ways to be a responsible farmer and consumer to help reduce food wastage and encourage a sustainable lifestyle. In closing, he reiterated that "the problem of Climate Change is global, but the solution is local."

Two CLSU Researchers Earn Top Honors at International Research Conference

Central Luzon State University (CLSU) once again proved its research excellence, as one of its faculty researchers and a research assistant received top awards during the 8th JAAP International Research and Development Conference, held on June 18–19, 2026, at Negros Oriental State University (NORSU), Dumaguete City. Dr. Garry A. Benico, faculty researcher of the College of Science and head of the Algal Diversity and Bioresources Laboratory (ADB Lab), secured First Place – Oral Paper Presenter in the Science and Health Category for his research presentation entitled “Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the Philippines: Distribution, Taxonomy, and Emerging Threats.” His award-winning presentation highlighted the current status of harmful algal blooms in Philippine waters, emphasizing the diversity and distribution of bloom-forming microalgae, their impacts on fisheries and public health, and emerging challenges posed by climate change and coastal eutrophication. The study underscored the importance of strengthening monitoring systems and advancing research-based management strategies to mitigate HAB-related risks. Adding to CLSU’s success, Ms. Ma. Andrea L. Dismaya, a Research Assistant from the Freshwater Aquaculture Center (FAC) and College of Fisheries, was recognized as the Best Poster Presenter for her research poster titled “Upscaling of FaST Strain Breeding Nucleus for Wider Dissemination of Quality Broodstocks and Fingerlings for the Tilapia Industry.” The study was co-authored by Dr. Karl Marx A. Quaizon, Director of FAC and the President of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Alumni Association of the Philippines (JAAP). The award-winning poster highlighted efforts to strengthen the Philippine tilapia industry through the expansion of the FaST (FAC Selected Tilapia) strain breeding nucleus, ensuring the wider availability of high-quality broodstocks and fingerlings to fish farmers. The initiative supports increased productivity, genetic improvement, and sustainability within the country’s aquaculture sector. The conference, themed “Empowering Research, Shaping Resilient Futures: Global Collaboration for Scientific Innovation,” brought together researchers, scientists, educators, and industry practitioners from various academic and research institutions to share scientific advancements and foster international collaboration. The recognition received by Dr. Benico and Ms. Dismaya reflects CLSU’s continuing commitment to excellence in research, innovation, and knowledge generation.

CLSU Joins in National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill

To reinforce campus-wide disaster preparedness and evaluate emergency response, the Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through the University Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (UDRRMC), actively participated in the 2nd Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) today, June 18. The drill began with the synchronized sounding of sirens, prompting students, faculty, and staff across all colleges and offices to execute the standard "Duck, Cover, and Hold" protocol before systematically evacuating to designated evacuation areas. To assess the capabilities of the university's emergency responders, the College of Education (CEd) was designated as the primary Command Center, wherein casualty simulation exercises were conducted. The event aimed to ensure that the entire CLSU community remains adaptive and resilient in the face of natural disasters, especially now that a series of earthquakes has occurred in different parts of the country. #SievingForExcellence
