[𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐄𝐃] The Mindanao Center for Policy Studies (MCPS) of the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) Mintal Campus spearheaded the Presentation of Research and Extension Proposals per Academic Program on September 24, 2026, at the Audio Visual Room.

The whole-day activity brought together faculty members, researchers, project leaders, and academic program representatives to present priority research and extension initiatives, solicit feedback, and further align proposed projects with the development needs of communities, partner institutions, and other intended beneficiaries.

The program formally opened with the national anthem, prayer, and USeP hymn, followed by the opening remarks of Dr. Ronie G. Panes, Associate Dean. Dr. Gaudencio G. Abellanosa, Research Center Manager, subsequently presented the rationale of the activity and underscored the value of systematic research monitoring, collaborative planning, and the development of responsive extension initiatives. A presentation of the new research and extension proposal template was also conducted to guide project proponents in preparing more organized, coherent, and institutionally aligned submissions.

The morning session featured the presentation of four research proposals. The proposed research initiatives focused on local development concerns involving digital governance and barangay service delivery, participatory cultural mapping, sustainability of community organizations, and disaster preparedness. The presentation session enabled project teams to share their proposed research directions, receive feedback from fellow participants, and identify areas for refinement before implementation.

In the afternoon, four extension proposals were presented. The extension proposals reflected the University’s continuing efforts to apply academic expertise to institutional and community concerns. The initiatives seek to support higher-education institutions through capacity-building and strategic planning, enhance agribusiness management and market readiness among farmer cooperatives, and strengthen community-based mechanisms for drug rehabilitation and recovery.

The activity primarily supports Sustainable Development Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals, as it encouraged collaboration among USeP Mintal Campus, the MCPS, partner academic institutions, local communities, farmer cooperatives, local government units, and other stakeholders. By providing a venue for proponents to present, refine, and improve their research and extension proposals, the activity demonstrated the importance of multi-sectoral cooperation in designing evidence-informed and community-responsive interventions.

It likewise contributes to SDG 4: Quality Education through initiatives that advance academic planning, research, innovation, and institutional capacity development; SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth through programs that build agribusiness and market-readiness capacities among farmer cooperatives; SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities through proposals on digital local governance, cultural mapping, and disaster preparedness; and SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions through projects that promote efficient barangay services, stronger community organizations, and community-based rehabilitation.

The activity concluded with a feedback and recommendations session led by the Research and Extension Head and the participants. The discussion focused on improving project designs, ensuring implementation feasibility, strengthening partnerships, and aligning proposed interventions with community priorities and the University’s research and extension agenda.

In his closing remarks, Mr. Edsan Colin V. Santander, Extension Head, expressed appreciation to the presenters, evaluators, and participants for their active engagement and commitment to developing relevant, sustainable, and people-centered research and extension programs.

Through this undertaking, the Mindanao Center for Policy Studies of USeP Mintal Campus reaffirmed its commitment to advancing research and extension initiatives that generate knowledge, build institutional and community capacities, foster meaningful partnerships, and contribute to sustainable development in Davao City and the broader Mindanao region.

The University of Southeastern Philippines joins the global observance of the International Day of Sign Languages every September 23, recognizing the importance of sign languages in advancing communication, inclusion, and the equal participation of Deaf People in society.

For educational institutions, accessible communication is essential to creating learning environments where Deaf Learners can participate fully and pursue their aspirations. At USeP, Deaf Graduates have excelled in their academic pursuits, including those who have earned Latin honors and gone on to pursue professional careers. Their accomplishments reflect what inclusive and accessible higher education can make possible for Deaf Learners.

These achievements are part of the University's continuing commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for Deaf Learners to participate, excel, and contribute to their communities.

In the Philippines, Republic Act No. 11106, or the Filipino Sign Language Act, recognizes Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as the national sign language and calls on State Universities and Colleges to promote FSL awareness, competency, research, development, and preservation.

On this International Day of Sign Languages, USeP recognizes the achievements of Deaf Learners and the importance of advancing an educational environment that respects linguistic diversity, promotes accessibility, and upholds the rights and participation of every learner.

At USeP, we build dreams without limits.

The University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) Mintal Campus proudly celebrated the achievements of 335 graduates during the 47th Commencement Exercises for Graduate and Undergraduate Programs held on September 10, 2026, at the USeP College of Development Management Gymnasium, Mintal, Davao City.

With the theme, “USeP@47: Building Dreams. Elevating Excellence. Empowering Communities,” the ceremony honored 122 graduate and 213 undergraduate students whose journeys reflect resilience, academic dedication, and a shared commitment to serving communities through knowledge and purposeful action.

Dr. Jeneifer C. Nueva, Vice President for Academic Affairs, presented the 335 candidates for graduation, followed by the presentation of candidates from the various programs of the College of Development Management (CDM) by Dr. Grace Meroflor A. Lantajo, Dean of CDM. University President Dr. Bonifacio G. Gabales Jr. then formally conferred the degrees upon the graduates.

Among the Class of 2026 were five graduates from the University’s College Education Behind Bars (CEBB) program. Three of the graduates were physically present to receive their diplomas after completing the academic requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Business. Their participation stood as a meaningful testament to the transformative power of accessible and inclusive education. The CEBB graduates were accompanied by Dr. Aland David Mizell, President of the Social Entrepreneurship, Technology, and Business Institute (SETBI), and SETBI Vice President Atty. Susan Cariaga.

In his message, Dr. Gabales reminded the graduates that their diplomas represent not only the completion of a degree, but also the sacrifices and support that brought them to this defining moment.

“Your diploma brings more than the name of a degree. It symbolizes years of effort, the support of your families, the guidance of your professors, and the confidence that USeP placed in your potential,” he said.

He also challenged the graduates to bring their education into the places where it can make a real difference.

“Behind every policy is a person, behind every statistic is a story, and behind every development plan is a community hoping for a better tomorrow,” Dr. Gabales emphasized.

Commencement Speaker Dr. Maricar R. Casquejo, Regional Director of the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office XI, called on the Class of 2026 to carry their USeP education with courage, purpose, and a deep sense of responsibility.

“Class of 2026, today, you leave USeP with a diploma in your hands, but more importantly, with a responsibility to turn what you have learned into something that matters,” Dr. Casquejo said.

She encouraged the graduates to live up to the meaning of being a 𝐔𝐒𝐞𝐏𝐈𝐀𝐍: one who 𝐔nderstands, 𝐒erves, 𝐞levates, 𝐏erseveres, 𝐈nvests, 𝐀ppreciates, and 𝐍ever forgets.

“Build dreams, not only your own, but those of others; pursue excellence with purpose; empower communities through what you know, what you do, who you are, and how you serve,” she said.

In the valedictory address of Ms. Maica D. Gementiza, the representative of the graduating class reflected on the uncertainties and struggles that shaped the students’ academic journeys, while recognizing the families, mentors, friends, and classmates who helped them reach graduation day.

The Class of 2026 now steps beyond the walls of the University carrying the knowledge, values, and sense of social responsibility nurtured by USeP. As they begin new journeys in their respective professions and communities, they are called to turn their aspirations into service, their learning into action, and their achievements into opportunities for others.
