The discussion focused on several projects, including the establishment of the CLSU Tech4Ed Digital Transformation Center, the adoption of the Philippine National Public Key Infrastructure (PNPKI) digital signature to ensure secure online transactions, and the creation of a Point-of-Presence at CLSU for the National Broadband Plan. During the visit, DICT also introduced the eGovPH (Super) App, a one-stop public service platform that offers essential government services such as e-Travel, which streamlines immigration processes at airports; eLGU, which enhances business processes in local government units; and eReport, which allows the public to report emergencies and crimes. Other components include eGovPay, a secure government payment gateway, and eGovCloud, which centralizes cloud services for the government. The DICT delegation, led by Engr. Conrado P. Castro Jr., DICT Provincial Head, Nueva Ecija, along with Engr. John Erick Delos Reyes, Mr. Jayson Ryan Cunanan, Ms. Maila Jane Galang, and Engr.

Building Bridges: CLSU’s TVDP Deepens and Strengthens Community Partnerships

Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through the University Extension Program Office (UEPO), recently marked a significant stride in its commitment to rural development through a successful stakeholder engagement initiative for its Technology Village Development Program (TVDP) on June 2, 2025. This event, which included formalizing new partnerships, underscored CLSU's dedication to extending its technological advancements and expertise directly to communities. The UEPO also launched the Resource Exchange Hub designed to serve as a centralized repository of knowledge products. It also features a TVDP Exhibit that showcases sustainable technologies and community-driven initiatives. CLSU President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, UEPO Director Dr. Aldrin E. Badua, the Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI) Central Luzon Director Dr. Joey A. Belarmino, Rural Bank of San Leonardo Senior Vice President Mr. Marcelo, and other representatives from institutional partners led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Resource Exchange Hub. In his opening message, President Abella emphasized the critical role of farmers saying “You are part of this program, not merely guests, we call you partners because you are our partners in realizing our goals in rural development.” This sentiment was reinforced by the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Agri Ville Skills Training and Assessment Center, DA-ATI Central Luzon, the National Empowerment and Development Exchange (NEDEx), and the New Rural Bank of San Leonardo (NRBSL). These formalized partnerships are poised to significantly advance the TVDP’s mission through shared resources and expertise. The successful stakeholder engagement reinforces the university's vital role as a catalyst for community development. By continually forging stronger ties with its partners, CLSU demonstrates its unwavering resolve to empower communities through innovation and knowledge transfer, paving the way for a more progressive and sustainable future.

CLSU’s MRF is Now Fully Operational

The Central Luzon State University (CLSU) Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) has been fully operational since April 2025. Designed to manage both residual and recyclable waste generated within the university, the facility reflects CLSU’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable campus practices. Following the recent partnership with the ASKI Multipurpose Cooperative (AMPC), waste haulers from the cooperative conducted a collection of segregated recyclable materials at the MRF on May 28, 2025. This initiative was spearheaded by faculty and staff members from the Institute for Climate Change and Environmental Management (ICCEM), led by their head, Dr. Shirly C. Serrano, together with the Physical Plant and Site Development Services (PPSDS). The collection yielded a total of 959 kilograms of recyclable waste, with papers, particularly cardboard, comprising the largest portion at 705 kilograms, accounting for 73.5% of the total, followed by PET bottles at 247 kilograms, or 25.8%. This successful initial effort highlights the effectiveness of the MRF and demonstrates the collaborative commitment of the CLSU community and its partners to promote responsible waste management practices. #SievingForExcellence #GoingGreen
