The 9th Regional Matching Conference was conducted on August 13, 2026, at the Regional Alternative Child Care Office–Cordillera Administrative Region (RACCO-CAR). During the conference, IFSU Social Work Interns Aviegay Via Delizo and Kristele Cabbigat presented a case on foster care under the supervision of their agency supervisor.

The event was attended by the Regional Child Placement Committee (RCPC), a multidisciplinary team composed of social workers, a psychologist, a legal officer, a medical representative, and an NGO representative.

Through careful assessment, the committee upheld the best interest of the child and provided valuable mentorship to the interns on ethical case management.

This experience aims to enhance the interns’ case management skills while upholding the best interest of the child through multidisciplinary collaboration.

On the evening of August 9, 2026, a landslide struck Riverside, Barangay Guisad Surong. The incident damaged homes, claimed ten lives, and displaced several families. Yet, in the midst of loss and uncertainty, the spirit of bayanihan remained strong.

From August 9 to 10, government responders, private individuals, and volunteers worked tirelessly despite challenging and dangerous conditions, joining hands in search, rescue, and retrieval operations. Their efforts showed that in times of crisis, help can come from every direction.

On August 11, 2026, BSSW student interns assigned to the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), under the leadership of Ms. Liza Daisa Bulayungan, once again extended their support to the continuing relief efforts for the community of Guisad Surong.

The student interns dedicated their time and effort to sorting, repacking, and organizing donations for families affected by the consecutive typhoons that struck the community.

Amid boxes of relief goods and the collective efforts of volunteers, the interns worked alongside residents and fellow responders to help prepare assistance for affected families. Each pack of rice, hygiene kit, and piece of clothing represented more than a basic necessity—it carried care, compassion, and hope.

Through their participation, the student interns witnessed how collective action can bring people together, promote inclusive recovery, and strengthen communities during challenging times.

To every donor who generously shared resources, every volunteer who offered their time and effort, and everyone who contributed in any way, thank you for demonstrating that the spirit of bayanihan continues to thrive.

Inspiration does not always appear on big screens. Sometimes, it is embedded in a person who pursues excellence while carrying the pride of their Indigenous roots or a person carrying a notebook in the University grounds.

In the realm of education, where hopes are met and dreams are nurtured, Aviegay Via M. Delizo, a proud Ilocano from Lantap, Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya and a student at Ifugao State University, exemplifies how the Free Higher Education program helped her step closer to her dreams while living her identity.

As a child of a solo parent and a member of an Indigenous Peoples (IP) group, entering the university under the Free Higher Education program proved pivotal to her academic journey.
“This removed the biggest barrier to my education, the tuition fee,” Delizo shared. “With this, I can now dream bigger and aim higher, not just for myself, but for my family.”
What truly fills her heart is the desire to inspire her fellow IP youth with a message of hope: the doors to higher education are open to everyone, regardless of race, culture, or ethnicity.

“Let us take this moment to learn and dream bigger, not just for our own progress, but for our community,” she encouraged. “May the light never dim our paths, so that we may always return with hope and purpose.”

As a Social Work student, she holds onto the dream of giving back to her community by helping connect them to accessible, quality education, healthcare services, and sustainable livelihoods.

Empowerment became her lived value with her stay in the University community, learning that preserving one’s culture is essential. As a strong advocate of embracing one’s own culture without reservations, possessing it as a strong identity that runs through the blood line.

For Delizo, her education reinforced that being a social worker isn't just about protecting human rights—it's also about safeguarding the culture that keeps a community alive.

“I firmly believe that where culture lives, people thrive.”

The inclusivity of the Higher Education became a home for her dreams and culture to thrive.

Continuing our celebration of National Indigenous Peoples Day (August 9), join us all week as we feature the inspiring stories, voices, and achievements of Indigenous students, faculty, and alumni across our SUCs.

On August 7, 2026, the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) of Baguio, under the leadership of Ms. Liza D. Bulayungan, successfully conducted an outreach program for visually impaired massage practitioners affected by Typhoon Maymay.

The initiative was made possible through the collective efforts of the CSWDO staff, six Social Work interns from Ifugao State University (IFSU), and generous donors Ms. Alecxandrea T. Flores; her partner, Mr. Massimo Gasparini from Australia; and their friend, Ms. Colleen Gaye A. Cultura.

Beyond the items distributed, the activity reflected the spirit of compassion, generosity, solidarity, and service toward members of the community. It demonstrated how collective efforts and acts of kindness can provide meaningful support to individuals affected by challenging circumstances.

As part of the activity, certificates of appreciation were also awarded to the participating interns in recognition of their dedication and valuable service during the distribution.

The CSWDO extends its heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors and everyone who contributed to making this activity possible. Your kindness reminds us that compassion knows no boundaries and that even the simplest act of giving can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Together, we continue to build an inclusive and caring community where everyone is valued, supported, and empowered—and where kindness truly knows no borders.
