𝗖𝗖𝗧 𝗚𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗨𝗦𝗧 & 𝗨𝗣! ✨

In its pursuit of excellence and service improvements, the Research, Development, and Extension (RDE) Services is expanding its networks!🫡 By attending the seminars hosted by prestigious well-known universities in the Philippines such as University of the Philippines and University of Sto. Tomas, RDE office is engaging in benchmarking and creating larger networks. 📄🔍

The RDE Director, Mr. Tom Veneracion; the Director of Guidance and Counseling Services Unit, Mr. Ferdinand Mendoza; the Dean of the School of Education, the Head of Research and Development Service Unit, Mr. Luis Carlo Binala; and the Head of Extension Services Unit, Mr. Sonny Boy Juane attended the seminar “The Vital Role Critical Race Theory (CHT) Plays in the Pursuit of Social Justice through Inclusive and Liberal Education for Educators: Global Relevance and Best Practices” at the University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, on February 5, 2025. 👏🏻🪅

On February 7-8, 2025 the same team attended the 5th PSALM (Passion for Scholarship and Love for Mission) International Conference on Teacher Education and Formation, with a theme “Decolonization of Education through/of Research.” 🌟

A key highlight of this seminar is the paper presentation by Sir Luis Carlo Binala. A philosophical pedagogue, Sir Luis embraces reflection, collaboration, and a holistic view in education, fostering critical thinking, emotional health, and adaptability. His path to this role is shaped by diverse life experiences, enriching his dedication to education as a force for transformation. By presenting himself as "not part of the system but within it," he aims to inspire reflection on teacher identity and decolonizing perspectives for the benefit of humanity. 🫡🧷✨

From Pagtanaw to Pagtulong: CCT Lakeshore Project

Another CCT-RDE extension program is set to begin! This time, CCT will serve the heart of Batangas—the Taal Volcano—through the efforts of our students living in Laurel, Batangas.

Through the CCT Lakeshore Project: Coastal Clean-up of Taal Lakeshore, we aim to foster collaboration and inspire the community to become good stewards of the environment, taking care of what God has entrusted to us.

BAGONG PAG-ASA

On February 4, the CCT RDE Team—headed by the Director of RDE, Mr. Tom Veneracion; Extension Head, Mr. Sonny Boy Juane; and RDE Staff, Miss Jemimah De Villa—visited BJMP Tagaytay City to update the requirements for the CCT-Bagong Pag-asa program. This initiative aims not only to provide Persons Deprived of Liberty with free college education but also to give them PAG-ASA (hope). The program is expected to launch in the 2025-2026 school year.

BJMP personnel featured in the photos include JSINSP Leilina L. Hong, Acting Warden (FD), and SJO3 Allan Manalo, UESJO (MD).

The RDE office also appreciates the warm accommodation provided by SJO1 Jhona Marges, Chief of Security and Control (FD); JO3 Aisa Anonuevo, Chief WD (MD); and JO1 Rousel Mae P. Laude, ALS Implementer (FD).

Trusting the process means believing that every step—no matter how small or challenging—has a purpose. 🌱✨ Growth isn’t always visible, and success doesn’t happen overnight, but patience and perseverance turn struggles into strength.

Keep moving forward, even when it’s hard to see the finish line. Trust yourself, trust the journey, and remember: the best things take time. 🙌🏻
