The Philippine Society of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers (PSABE)–VSUSC was awarded the prestigious Collaborative Program of the Year Award during Sidlak 2026 at the RDE Hall, recognizing the outstanding success of its flagship student initiative, Project C²: Online Pre-Class Bridging Initiative.

​The award celebrates the program’s exemplary collaborative approach to student mentorship. Serving as a specialized tutorial and orientation session, Project C² was specifically designed to bridge the gap between high school and higher education, through essential knowledge, allowing an easier transition for incoming first-year students from both STEM ang Non-STEM backgrounds.

​In partnership with the Viscan Eruditos, Faculty of Engineering – Supreme Student Council Baybay (FE-SSC), Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines – VSU Student Chapter (GEP-VSUSC), Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers – VSU Student Chapter (PICE-VSUSC), Philippine Society of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers – VSU Student Chapter (PSABE-VSUSC), Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers – VSU Student Chapter (PSME-VSUSC), Faculty of Engineering and Technology – Supreme Student Council (FET-SSC), Civil Engineers – VSU Isabel Campus (CE-VSUIC), Information Technologist League – VSU Isabel Campus (INTEL-VSUSIC), Junior Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers – VSU Isabel Student Unit (JPSME-VSUISU), Philippine Institute of Industrial Engineers – VSU Isabel Student Chapter (PIIE-VSUISC), this collaborative effort created a comprehensive peer-to-peer network that yielded measurable success in student readiness, academic confidence, and early retention rates.

​As an award-winning initiative for students, Project C² has set a new benchmark for collaborative campus initiatives. Following this major milestone, the organization is more than grateful for the brilliant minds of the tutors, collaborative partners, and participants who helped pave the way for this recognition.

What began as a course requirement has become a transformative journey for the graduates of the National Service Training Program (NSTP). As students of both the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) celebrated the culmination of months of training, community engagement, and civic involvement. On 30th of May, they leave not only with certificates of completion but also with a renewed sense of responsibility towards nation and society.

The NSTP Graduation Ceremony serves as a milestone for students who have dedicated their time and effort to various civic welfare activities and fostering leadership, discipline, and patriotism. From the weekly sessions to community immersion and military-oriented training, these individuals leave a significant impact to the society—proving service for nation extend beyond the field and halls.

As they celebrate this achievement, graduates carry with them the lessons of compassion, discipline, and service that will guide them in making meaningful contributions to society long after the program has ended.

Indeed, NSTP graduation is more than a recognition of completed requirements. It is a celebration of young individuals who have embraced the spirit of service and who are prepared to carry that spirit wherever life takes them.

The Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (DABE) conducted its first Hard Hatting and Pinning Ceremony at the RDE Hall on June 5, formally recognizing 106 Bayaw interns prior to their deployment for internship training.

The ceremony marked a significant milestone for the department as it institutionalized a formal rite recognizing the students’ shift to professional practice. Through the donning of hard hats and pinning rites, the interns were acknowledged for reaching an important stage in their engineering journey. Faculty members, proud parents, and invited guests attended the event in support of the students.

Engr. Lydian Rose Rubio, Officer-in-Charge of the Regional Agricultural Engineering Division (RAED), served as the keynote speaker. In her address, she emphasized the importance of character, competence, and hard work in the practice of agricultural and biosystems engineering.

The hard hatting and pinning ceremony serves as a formal recognition of the students' readiness to engage in experiential learning and apply the knowledge and skills acquired through their classroom education.

As the first ceremony of its kind conducted by the department, the event creates a precedent for future internship cohorts and reflects DABE's continuing efforts to strengthen professional formation among its students.

With the completion of the ceremony, the student interns are set to begin their respective internship assignments, carrying with them the knowledge, values, and professional standards expected of future practitioners in the field of agricultural and biosystems engineering.

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Inspiring the next generation of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers, Engr. Lydian Rose Rubio, OIC RAED Chief, delivered a message of excellence during the 1st Hard Hatting Ceremony of the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.

“ There is no shortcut in becoming excellent in this field. You will always be required to put in effort to push through challenges and to keep going, even it is difficult. But hard work must be matched with consistency because excellence is not defined by what you do once, but what you do repeatedly. Even when you are tired, even when you feel unseen, even when you are unsure. And above all, I encourage you to remain prayerful especially with making decision.

There will be moments when your journey is not enough. When experience is not yet solution, and when you will need wisdom beyond your own understanding. In those moments, pausing and praying, it is not a weakness, Its a guidance.

As you wear this hat and pin today, I hope it reminds you not only of what you are becoming, but also on who you choose to be. May you become engineers, who are not only competent, but also grounded, not only skilled, but also principled. “
