The meeting provided a meaningful space to exchange ideas, strengthen academic connections, and envision collaborative opportunities that can contribute to the success and wider reach of the conference.

As Bintana continues to grow, we look forward to building bridges with institutions that share our commitment to advancing the humanities, education, global perspectives, and sustainable development.

The College of Arts and Sciences of Isabela State University-Cauayan Campus welcomed Mr. Keno M. Managbanag, a faculty member of Far Eastern University, who personally visited the College today, August 7, to extend an invitation to participate in and attend the 2nd Bintana International Conference, scheduled for March 31 to April 2, 2027, at FEU Manila.

Mr. Managbanag was warmly received by CAS Dean Dr. Krisha Camille R. Angoluan, together with former CAS Dean Dr. Paul Angelo Tamayo.

The invitation marks the College’s second participation in the conference, following its involvement in the inaugural Bintana International Conference in 2025.

With the theme “Reimagining Humanities, Global Perspectives and Digital Transformation for Sustainable Development,” the conference aims to bring together educators, researchers, and students to share research outputs and best practices, exchange ideas, and discuss emerging trends in languages, literature, gender studies, Philippine studies, and philosophy.

The visit further strengthens the academic partnership between FEU and ISU-Cauayan CAS and opens more opportunities for scholarly engagement and collaboration.

Isabela State University (ISU) Cauayan Campus and the City Government of Cauayan formalized a strategic three-year partnership to broaden access to English language assessment review programs and equip local constituents with the competencies needed to compete in the global workforce, August 3.

The collaboration was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), signaling a unified initiative to expand access to quality language education and advance Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

The initiative will provide qualified beneficiaries with free review sessions for internationally recognized English proficiency examinations, including the IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL, PTE, and OET, enabling participants to pursue overseas employment, higher education, and international professional opportunities with greater confidence.

Leading the ceremonial signing was Cauayan City Mayor Hon. Caesar "Jaycee" S. Dy Jr., alongside campus and local government officials who emphasized the importance of collaboration in building a future-ready workforce. Joining the ceremony were Prof. Marisol S. Foronda, PhD, Cluster Executive Officer; Assoc. Prof. Nancy G. De Leon, DME, Director for Extension and Training Services; Prof. Liezl Joy L. Quilang, PhD, Director for Academic Affairs; Assoc. Prof. Ryan P. Salviejo, Director for Public Relations, External Linkages, and International Affairs; Atty. Divina Joy Ventura-Gonzales, Public Employment Service Office (PESO) Manager; Atty. Reina Consorcia M. Santos, Smarter City Officer; and Ms. Czarah Jane S. Dy, City Administrator.

Beyond preparing participants for English proficiency examinations, the partnership harnesses the campus' expertise in extension and knowledge transfer to deliver structured training modules, interactive learning sessions, and impact-driven community programs. ISU faculty extensionists, researchers, and students will spearhead the delivery of the program, while the city government will mobilize participants, provide logistical support, and ensure the sustained implementation of the initiative.

Anchored on the principles of inclusive education and strategic collaboration, the partnership demonstrates how academic institutions and local governments can work together to advance sustainable development. The initiative is expected to broaden access to quality learning while preparing residents to thrive in increasingly global and competitive environments.
