Southern Bicol Colleges - National Service Training Program

Another NSTP Cycle Has Successfully Concluded!

To our dedicated student-volunteers — Congratulations, NSTP-CWTS Graduates! 🎓🇵🇭

Thank you so much City of Masbate Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office 💕

The NSTP Office of Southern Bicol Colleges sincerely extends its deepest gratitude to the Masbate City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), headed by Mr. Isaias F. Bigol, Jr., along with his dedicated training team, for the successful conduct of the 3-day Orientation on First Aid, Basic Life Support (BLS), Emergency Response Training, and Orientation on the Conduct of an Earthquake Drill, held last June 2–4, 2025 at SBC.

This invaluable initiative—set to be delivered in four batches—has already made a significant impact, beginning with our second-year BS Nursing students. The training equipped them with essential, life-saving knowledge and practical skills, including:

✔️ First Aid
✔️ Bandaging & Splinting
✔️ Emergency Carries
✔️ Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
✔️ Foreign Body Airway Obstruction Management
✔️ Spine Board Handling
✔️ Earthquake Drill Phases & Evacuation Protocols

More than fulfilling a curricular requirement under the NSTP program, this training has empowered our students—our future nurses and community responders—to act with confidence and competence in emergency situations, both within clinical settings and in their communities.

We are truly grateful to CDRRMO for their unwavering commitment to disaster preparedness and public safety. Your partnership strengthens our shared mission of building a more resilient, well-prepared, and disaster-ready generation.

We look forward to many more meaningful collaborations in the future. 💙

Please be informed that today’s scheduled Community Immersion (April 12, 2025) is officially postponed due to the extreme heat index recorded in our area. This decision is made in consideration of everyone’s health and safety.

Please note, however, that immersion hours for April 12 will still be counted, even if the actual activity has been cancelled for the day.

We understand the eagerness of everyone to fulfill this requirement, but your well-being remains our top priority.

Stay safe and cool, everyone.
