The Central Luzon State University has been awarded the renewal of its ISO 9001:2015 certification by the SOCOTEC Certification International for the quality management system (QMS) of the university which conforms to global standards specifically covering the provision of advanced and higher education services, research services and extension and technical advisory services. The certificate was officially issued to CLSU on August 13, 2020, signed by Mr. Gilmore Rivera, Operations Director of SOCOTEC Certification Philippines. SOCOTEC, formerly AJA Registrars Inc., an international leading provider of accredited ISO certification services, scheduled CLSU for a surveillance recertification audit on July 1 and 6. As the country was placed under the enhanced community quarantine due to the CoViD-19 pandemic, the audit was conducted online. Fourteen areas were audited and among the units/programs that have undergone recertification audit are the BS Meteorology, BS Food Technology, Bachelor of Elementary Education, PhD in Environmental Management, Office of Admissions, Office of Student Affairs, Physical Plant and Site Development Services, and the Research, Extension and Training Program offices. During the exit conference attended by Dr. Edgar A. Orden, CLSU President, Dr. Angelita V. Seeping, Lead Auditor and Chief of Internal Quality Audit along with other university officials, SOCOTEC announced that CLSU successfully passed the recertification audit with only one minor non-conformity. CLSU first eyed the ISO certification in 2015 and was registered as ISO 9001:2008 certified on May 19, 2017. With the university’s commitment to continuously improve and advance its quality management system, the institution subjected itself to its transition and first surveillance audit on May 25, 2018 which correspondingly marked its transition period to ISO 9001:2015 version. The ISO certification facilitates the university’s effective and efficient delivery of its services and ensures clientele’s satisfaction.

The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) paid tribute to its unsung heroes during the “80th Anniversary and Commemoration of the Liberation of the Central Luzon Agricultural School (CLAS) and the memorial to the Known and Unknown Heroes of World War II” held on February 7, 2025 at the Vivencio Saulong Monument. Among the attendees were direct descendants of Vivencio Saulong, a student-leader from Mindoro and member of Squadron 222, who tragically sacrificed his life during the war. As part of the commemoration, the 2nd Civil-Military Operations Company and 7th Civil-Military Operations Battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines offered a 21-gun salute signifying the highest form of respect to the fallen heroes. University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella urged faculty and students to emulate the patriotism and bravery exemplified by these unsung heroes. "To our students, let Vivencio Saulong serve as an inspiration, as he offered his life for our beloved university. Everything we have achieved today is a testament to the immense impact and contribution of our student-heroes like Saulong and his comrades. May this event serve as a bridge between the past and present, ensuring that the lessons of history remain alive in our hearts and in the generations to come" stated President Abella. A direct descendant of Saulong, Mr. Angel Saulong, former Mayor of Bansud, Oriental Mindoro, proudly recounted the narrative of his grandfather’s bravery and heroism. “My grandfather, Lolo Biben [Vivencio Saulong], was determined to study, which is why he left Oriental Mindoro with five or six others from Bongabong. At a young age, I remember a companion from his time here recounting my grandfather's bravery here in Nueva Ecija. During the revolution, while his companions chose to return home, he stayed here at university to become Corps Commander and fight for our country and for CLSU." Saulong recounted. This event served as a reminder to all CLSU members that bravery and patriotism are inherent qualities of every student within the institution.
