One of the key highlights of the PBBM-GABAY ng Bayan Programs - Mindanao Cluster Caravan on May 13, 2026, at the General Santos City Gymnasium is the marketing and enrollment of the 4Ps and IPs beneficiaries. This Goldenstate College's initiative aimed to remove barriers to college entry by making enrollment processes more accessible and immediate.

Goldenstate College successfully enrolled several incoming first-year students into its various academic programs, demonstrating its strong commitment to inclusive and student-centered education. The enrollees were given one sack of rice as gratitude of the college. This maximized the opportunity not only to admit new students but also to promote its academic offerings and institutional strengths. Through direct engagement with students and parents, the college was able to present its programs, facilities, and support services—effectively strengthening its visibility and outreach among underserved communities.

Staff from the college’s Registrar’s Office played a crucial role in the success of the activity, facilitating a smooth and efficient enrollment process. They assisted applicants with documentation, answered inquiries, and ensured that each student received proper guidance in choosing their desired programs.

The participation of Goldenstate College in the PBBM-GABAY ng Bayan Program reflects its dedication to bridging educational gaps and empowering learners through accessible higher education. By combining enrollment services with strategic marketing, the institution continues to position itself as a key player in advancing educational opportunities in Mindanao.
