To enhance faculty knowledge and skills in academic writing and publication, the College of Veterinary Medicine faculty successfully conducted a Writeshop Training today — April 22, 2026, at the CVM Accreditation Office.

Dr. Jan Clyden B. Tenorio, PPU Head, served as the resource speaker and shared valuable insights on journal selection and publication processes. Dr. Tenorio introduced USM-managed journals, highlighting the Journal of Agricultural Research, Development, Extension and Technology (JARDET) as a platform for scholarly publication. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how to identify and avoid predatory journals, ensuring the credibility and impact of their research outputs.

In addition, the session also covered the guidelines for applying for publication incentives, providing faculty with information to support their research endeavors. The training concluded with active engagement from participants, reflecting their commitment to advancing research and academic excellence.

The local government unit (LGU) of Kabacan has denied any involvement in the implementation of a reported fare hike circulating among public utility tricycles, following the emergence of a posted notice inside a unit linked to a USM Tricycle Drivers Association (TDA).

The notice, which references “additional charges” under Section 2 of Ordinance No. 144, s. 2023, outlines fare conditions including discounts for senior citizens, students, and persons with disabilities, as well as baggage fees and other provisions.

MinTech confirmed from LGU Kabacan that no official directive has been released regarding fare adjustments as of this writing, casting doubt on the legitimacy of the posted notice.
