The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) solidified its institutional commitment to community development, rehabilitation, and education through a series of significant Memoranda of Agreement (MOAs) signed with key government agencies and a local government unit in Central Luzon led by University President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, held on November 6 and 13, 2025. The first two agreements were formalized on November 6. The College of Home Science and Industry (CHSI), through the Department of Textile and Garment Technology (DTGT), signed a MOA with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Regional Office 3. Represented by CHSI Dean Dr. Celyrah B. Castillo and DTGT Head Dr. Sarah SJ. Algozo, along with BJMP Regional Director Jail Chief Superintendent Paulino H. Moreno, Jr., the partnership focuses on providing Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) with training in textile and garment skills. This initiative aims to offer crucial livelihood opportunities and practical, income-generating skills that support the BJMP's mandate for rehabilitation and successful societal reintegration. On the same day, a second MOA was signed between the College of Science (CoS), through the Department of Mathematics and Physics, represented by Department Head Dr. John Rafael M. Antalan, and the Department of Education (DepEd) – School Division of San Jose, represented by Dr. Veronica B. Paraguison. This agreement will facilitate the development and enhancement of science and technology education in San Jose schools. The Department of Mathematics and Physics will provide technical assistance and mentorship to DepEd personnel and students, particularly in basic research, data analysis, and interpretation. Furthering its extension efforts, on November 13, the CHSI DFST, represented by Dean Castillo and DFST Head Dr. Joel G. Juvinal, signed an agreement with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Floridablanca, Pampanga, represented by Municipal Mayor Hon. Michael L. Galang, ENP, MPA. This partnership focuses on producing and distributing naturally fortified, healthy, and convenient rice-based food products, including instant germinated brown rice congee, instant aromatic arroz caldo, and oatmeal rice raisin cookies, to -prone areas through other State Universities and Colleges. These collaborations with BJMP, DepEd San Jose, and LGU Floridablanca showcase CLSU’s strong commitment to its extension mandate. They ensure that CLSU’s research and expertise deliver tangible benefits, from creating livelihood opportunities for PDLs to enhancing science and mathematics education and supporting local food industries. #SievingForExcellence

CLSU Welcomes 3rd Batch of Youth Science Program

The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) officially welcomes the Batch 3 students from the Philippine Science High School Luzon campuses: Cagayan Valley Campus, Bicol Region Campus, Central Luzon Campus, and CALABARZON Campus for the DOST-PCAARRD Youth Science Program (DPYSP), which will run from May 25 to June 17, 2026. This 15-day program marks another meaningful journey of mentoring, immersion, and community of practice, aiming to inspire young minds to see the Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources (AANR) sector as a field of innovation, leadership, and nation-building. Throughout the program, the participants will be guided by mentors and resource persons, comprising experts from CLSU and the Community of Elders of DOST-PCAARRD, who will share their knowledge, experience, and inspiration in the fields of science, technology, agriculture, aquatic resources, and natural resources. Building from the accomplishments of Year 1, DPYSP continues to provide senior high school students with opportunities to engage with scientists, researchers, mentors, and communities through hands-on learning experiences. More than learning about agriculture and science, the program aims to strengthen students’ awareness, positive perceptions, and aspirations for S&T careers in AANR, showing them that agriculture is not only about farming but also about technology, research, sustainability, and service to communities. The project is led by Dr. Melanie P. Tolentino, together with Mr. Junior M. Pacol and Ms. Erica Fae De Fiesta as project staff, and Ms. Lovely Sacare and Mr. Brandon Alan N. Lamson as research assistants.
