The Transportation Science Society of the Philippines – Cagayan State University Chapter extends its warmest birthday greetings to 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗵 𝗘. 𝗥𝗲ñ𝗼𝘀, our Vice President.

Thank you for your dedication, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the growth of the organization and the advancement of transportation science.

May this new year bring you good health, continued success, and greater achievements. We look forward to reaching more milestones with your leadership.

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐫. 𝐀𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐆. 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚!🎂

Happy birthday to our former Timber Design instructor—the one who proves that bonus questions can come from literally ANYTHING: funny moments, random facts, side stories, and things we definitely never saw in the books.

Known for being super happy-go-lucky in class, but also famous for bonus questions coming from the most random places. One moment we’re computing stresses and loads, the next moment we’re answering questions that make us think, “𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘳., 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨?”

Not just an engineer, but also a dancer, photographer, and certified multi-talented Engr.! Sobrang puti niya, kaya siya raw si 'Faker'.

May your birthday be as strong as a well-designed timber beam, as flexible as your teaching style, and as surprising as your exams.

🎉 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐌! 🎉

To an amazing man, a visionary leader, and the father of COEA—
today, we celebrate not just your birthday, but the life and legacy you continue to build.

Dean JM, you are a true example of excellence, integrity, and selfless leadership. Your guidance has shaped minds, inspired hearts, and strengthened the foundation of COEA. Through your wisdom, humility, and unwavering dedication, you have led with purpose and served with passion. Many look up to you—not only for your position, but for the values you live by every day.

Your leadership reminds us that greatness is not measured by authority alone, but by the positive impact you leave on others. You have been a mentor, a pillar of strength, and a source of motivation to all who have had the privilege of working with and learning from you.

On this special day, TSSP-CSUC extends our warmest and most heartfelt birthday greetings. We wish you abundant blessings, good health, lasting happiness, peace of mind, and continued success in all your endeavors. May God reward your dedication with many more fruitful years of service, joy, and fulfillment.

Happy, happy birthday, Dean JM!
May your life continue to inspire, and may your journey ahead be filled with everything your heart desires.

NEWS | TSSP-CSU studes, adviser join Transpo Con, present mobility studies in UPLB

The Transportation Science Society of the Philippines - Cagayan State University Chapter (TSSP-CSUC) participated in the annual transportation conference and presented their research at the University of the Philippines - Los Baños on December 3-4, 2025.

Sixteen participants from the Civil Engineering department majoring in Transportation Engineering joined in the 31st Transportation Science Society of the Philippines Conference and the 4th Workshop on Young Researchers.

The two-day conference revolved around lectures and workshops related to the theme ‘Driving Smart Mobility Change: Innovations, Equity and Climate Resilience for a Connected Sustainable Future’.

It aimed to create solutions and innovations to address the nation's long-standing transportation problems, particularly traffic congestion.

Moreover, Engr. Ralph Angelo Estiller, faculty member, discussed their research projects before the experts, focusing on challenges in Tuguegarao City related to roads and airports.

Among the research presented is the ‘Impacts of Extreme Flooding Event on the Volume-to-Capacity Ratio of Major Road Networks: The Case of Tuguegarao City’, authored by Engr. John Michael Casibang, Dr. Emer Quezon, and Engr. Estiller.

Furthermore, Keleph John A. Basmayor, TSSP-CSUC Vice President, emphasized the importance of participating in such an event to comprehend mobility systems and to create innovations.

“Joining this conference is important because it allows us to understand how real mobility systems work beyond what we study in class. During the research workshop, we learned smart innovations that we can apply in our future career as a transportation engineer,” Basmayor said.

Alumna of CSU and Associate Professor in UPLB, Dr. Ma. Bernadette Lim, served as one of the panelists, discussed the career opportunities and challenges in transportation during the research workshop and also assured to aid CSU transportation student-researchers in their studies.

TSSP-CSUC also helped design solutions to the challenges of mobility on a regional scale, organizing the first-ever Regional Transportation Science Engineering Conference held at the Red Eagle Gymnasium last February 27-28, 2025.

A glimpse into innovation and discovery during the Laboratory Tour and Academic Visit at UP Diliman. The TSSP-CSUC participants gained new insights, deeper knowledge, and renewed passion for advancing transportation science.

Cagayan State University - Carig Campus alumna Maria Bernadette B. Lim, inspired young researchers, including those from the TSSP-CSU Chapter, with her message during the Workshop on Young Researchers (WYRe) held at the University of the Philippines - Los Banos on December 4.

She emphasized the importance of being open to change, as transportation planning is a continuous process. She also noted that new ideas should be shared with experts to develop concrete solutions and enhance the country's transportation system.

“Keep on learning and be open to change, as mentioned a while ago, transportation planning is a need that is continuous hindi siya nauubos. Note that you can’t solve problem alone, you should have a team. If you have good ideas, you share it to your advisers, experts and together we can develop complete solution and help our country improve yung ating situation sa transportation,” Lim said.

Before this day ends, despite the tiring day we would like to greet a happy birthday to our TSSP-CSUC Co-Adviser, sir 𝐑𝐚𝐥𝐩𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐨 𝐁. 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫!

On behalf of the organization, we extend our heartfelt greetings to an adviser who continuously inspires, guides, and supports us. Your dedication, leadership, and genuine commitment to our growth have made a lasting impact on our organization and every student you work with.
