The MMSU-CIT College Research Office with the Association of Industrial Technology Students (AITS) successfully wrapped up yesterday, April 29, 2025, the remaining two-day training workshop out of the three-day training workshop designed for third-year students, titled “Training Workshop on Ethical Clearance Applications.” With numerous rescheduling due to the high heat index, this highly informative session was still conducted at the CIT-Admin Building, Flexihub to ensure the smooth flow of the seminar, with in mind the comfort of the students and speakers. The continued training instills a strong sense of academic integrity and social responsibility among students, emphasizing the ethical implications of research and the importance of protecting their rights, dignity, and welfare.

Serving as the event’s resource speakers for the remaining two-day training workshop were Ma'am Faye, the Extension Coordinator of the college, and Dr. Jasper Kim M. Rabago, the IM Focal Person, and both of the resource speakers are presently reviewers under the URERB office of the university. The beloved speakers imparted the vital information about ethical standards, approval processes, and the importance of maintaining integrity in research. Through interactive discussions and detailed presentations, students were guided through each phase of the ethical clearance application process, ensuring they understood the key principles and practical steps involved.

Interactive and practical, the training empowered students with both knowledge and confidence as they prepared for their capstone research projects. Feedback from attendees highlighted appreciation for the clarity, relevance, and accessibility of the content delivered.

The workshop was made possible through the collaboration of the College Research Office and continuous efforts of the Association of Industrial Technology Students (AITS). The event also featured contributions from esteemed faculty members, who shared their expertise and provided valuable insights into the real-world applications of ethical research practices.

The above-mentioned organization plans to host similar workshops in the future, ensuring that students are well-prepared to tackle the ethical challenges that often arise during the course of academic inquiry. By doing so, CIT aims to not only elevate academic standards but also to cultivate a culture of integrity, responsibility, and ethical consideration across all student research projects.

Sincere gratitude is extended to all of the speakers, third-year students, and academic leaders who helped make the event possible, particularly our OIC-Dean Prof. Aldous Asuncion and the two department chairs, for BSIT-Dr. Byron Joseph A. Hallar, and for BAT-Prof. Ferdinand P. Huenda, the OSAS coordinator, Mr. Jerylvin Rabago for consistently supporting programs intended for student development. To the AITS officers who volunteered their time for facilitating the training workshop, as well as to Mr. Christian Jay P. Pungtilan, AITS adviser, and Ms. Christine Q. Bañez, College Research Coordinator.

In line with its commitment to academic excellence and responsible research practices, the College of Industrial Technology (CIT), through the College Research Coordinator and Association of Industrial Technology Students (AITS), successfully conducted the first day seminar-workshop titled “Training Workshop on Ethical Clearance Application” on April 22, 2025, at the CIT Social Hall. The event aimed to equip third-year students with essential knowledge and practical skills in preparing and applying for ethical clearance—a key requirement for conducting future research and capstone projects. The three-day session was attended by students from Electronics (ELXT), Electrical (ELT), and Computer Technology (CT). It provided comprehensive discussions on research ethics, data privacy, and the ethical standards required for conducting studies within and beyond academic settings.

Highlighting the importance of ethics in research, Dr. Byron Joseph Hallar, BSIT Department Chairman and a member of the University Research Ethics Review Board (URERB) of MMSU, emphasized the value of protecting participants’ rights and upholding academic integrity.“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩,” he shared.

Participants actively engaged in the activities and raised thoughtful questions during the activity with the thorough guidance of the beloved BSIT Chairman. Clarence A. Ballesteros, a BSIT-CT student, said, “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘬𝘬𝘦𝘭 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘪 𝘵𝘢𝘱𝘯𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘶𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘦𝘯 𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘪𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘨𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘮𝘪 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘪.”

The event concluded with a hands-on workshop where students worked on their URERB application, received feedback from the resource speaker, and reflected on the importance of ethical research conduct.

Through initiatives like this, the CIT Research Coordinator and Association of Industrial Technology Students (AITS) continue to promote a culture of integrity, accountability, and academic rigor among its students. The workshop was made possible through the efforts of the AITS officers headed by the adviser, Mr. Christian Jay P.

We Belong 5.0, the university's Quinquennial "Panaglagep" Homecoming/Opening of Ilokano Crafts Exhibit, was organized by the Gender and Development Focal Point System under the Planning Directorate. Under the direction of Prof. Raymund Vincent B. Espejo, the GAD Coordinator, the Association of Industrial Technology Students organization sponsored the college's CIT booth, which was manned by organization officers in celebration of Women's Month. It was held at the MMSU-Student Center from March 25–28, 2025, and featured the various items made by CITians.

Furthermore, on March 28, the Rubuat Ken Aruat 4.0 Fashion Show, which featured the stunning and one-of-a-kind ensembles created from abel, marked the conclusion of the Women's Month celebration in the afternoon at the Alumni Park. Additionally, under the direction of their adviser, Dr. Gloria Torres, the CIT students studying garment technology showcased their weaving abilities and creations that will leave you speechless. Additionally, the college's gifted students who acted as models while donning their creations are sponsored and participated in by the Association of Industrial Technology Students (AITS). By assisting these talented individuals, we hope to enhance the distinctiveness of indigenous Ilocano customs and the textile industry's future while enabling the upcoming generation of experts to push the envelope of innovation.

BABAE KA, HINDI BABAE LANG.

She is unstoppable; she is powerful; she is 𝐘𝐎𝐔.

As the College of Industrial Technology celebrates the ingenuity, perseverance, and contributions of women, the Association of Industrial Technology Students (AITS) is pleased to express its gratitude by supporting the Women's Month celebration. We firmly believe that womanhood should not be defined by a single criterion, 𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣'𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚.

The highlight of events is the Freedom Wall, which stands as a symbol of expression, allowing everyone to share messages of inspiration, gratitude, and support. The ribbon represents unity and solidarity in the journey toward gender equality. And the mugs as tokens for the speakers who serve as the voice during the seminar of “Crash Landing in Happiness” for Women’s Month at CIT initiated by the Guidance and Counseling and Career Center. It included a pen, a mirror, and a keychain as a thank-you gift—each serving as a reminder of the wonderful women who lead with grace and power.

The true essence of this month goes beyond celebrating women's achievements—it is about amplifying their voices, empowering them in every aspect of life, and relentlessly advocating for their rights. It serves as a powerful reminder 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙, 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙙, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨.

Instead, let us commit to uplifting and celebrating women every single day, ensuring that their contributions, struggles, and triumphs are acknowledged and honored all year round.

It is time to recognize the courage of women who have paved the way, support those who continue to break barriers, and empower the next generation to dream fearlessly. Cheers to strong women—may we know them, may we be them, and may we raise them!
