Burauen Community College (BCC) marked a milestone in academic excellence as fourth-year Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) students Jhunny Diaz, Pamela Jean Davocol, and Aljealyn Venezuela participated in NextGenPH: Youth Innovators Reimagining Public Service, a national initiative organized by the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) in November 2025.

Guided by their coach, Mr. Jay D. Indita, the students joined youth innovators from across the country in proposing innovative solutions aimed at improving public service delivery and governance.

Representing BCC, the students presented Project Balangay, an initiative that promotes digital, transparent, and inclusive barangay governance through capacity-building programs, investments in digital infrastructure, and partnerships with educational institutions and youth leaders.

In recognition of their participation, the students were awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by the DAP, acknowledging the institution’s valuable contribution to the success of the NextGenPH program. The certificate, issued on November 11, 2025, was officially received by the participants earlier this January 2026.

The recognition underscores BCC’s active role in advancing youth-led innovation in public service at the national level and further strengthens its advocacy for responsive and transparent governance within the field of Public Administration.

"✨ Viva Señor Sto. Niño! 🙏

Today we celebrate the Child Jesus – our beloved Sto. Niño, who stands as a powerful symbol of hope for all of us, especially in times of uncertainty. He brings boundless joy, enduring hope, and abundant blessings to our hearts and homes. Dancing to the beat of the drums, offering prayers of gratitude, and sharing love with family and community—we hold close to the truth that He is our light in darkness, guiding us forward with gentle strength.

This feast reminds us that faith can move mountains and kindness makes the world brighter, and through the Sto. Niño, we find the courage to hope for better days ahead for ourselves and our community.
