Monitoring Visit of the European Union Humanitarian Aid at ZSCMST Campus 💚

Today, May 14, 2026, the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science (BSES) Program of the Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology proudly celebrates a significant milestone as four (4) BSES 4th year student research groups successfully presented their research studies during the 9th Undergraduate Research Forum (URF) conducted at the Audio Visual Room of ZSCMST.

This year’s URF, organized by the BS Food Technology Program under the College of Fisheries and Allied Sciences (CFAS), successfully brought together undergraduate researchers from different colleges and academic programs within the institution, creating a collaborative venue for research exchange, academic engagement, and scientific discussion. The rationale of this academic event is to promote a culture of research among undergraduate students by providing them with a platform to present their research findings, share scientific knowledge, and strengthen research involvement across various disciplines.

Representing the BSES Program in the Oral Category Competition were the following studies:

“ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE CHARACTERIZATION OF PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL COMPONENTS AT ZSCMST VICTORIA CAMPUS”

Authored by: Francis T. Bais, Baby Glades V. Espino, Lance Kennette Ramos, and William Salome
Research Adviser: Ms. Ahasmarie C. Pasion-Pasinabo
Co-Adviser: Ms. Kia Piñero-Abdurajak
Presented by: Francis T. Bais

“LEACHATE CONTAMINATION IN SALAAN STREAM: EFFECTS ON WATER QUALITY AND MACROBENTHIC ORGANISMS”

𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 || In line with the celebration of Earth Day 2026 with the theme “Our Power, Our Planet,” the College of Fisheries and Allied Sciences, through the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science (BSES) Program and the Green and Blue Environmental Science Society (GABLES), successfully conducted a Clean-Up Drive at the Mangrove Area of the campus as part of the kick-off celebration for Earth Day 2026.

This meaningful activity was actively participated by the students and faculty members of the Environmental Science Program, showing their unity, cooperation, and shared commitment in caring for the environment.

Although Earth Day is officially celebrated every April 22, the program and society decided to hold the celebration today April 29, 2026 to ensure a more meaningful, organized, and participative observance exclusively for the students and faculty of Environmental Science.

This whole-day celebration aims to promote environmental awareness, strengthen camaraderie within the Environmental Science family, encourage volunteerism, and inspire both students and faculty to take active responsibility in protecting and conserving natural resources.

The activities prepared for the students and faculty of the Environmental Science Program include various literary and academic competitions such as Poster Making Contest, Slogan Contest, Essay Writing, Creative Writing, and Quiz Bee. At lunchtime, participants will also gather for a fellowship through a boodle fight salo-salo, followed by exciting Palarong Pinoy activities in the afternoon. The much-awaited highlight of the celebration will be the DanSing Competition, where students will showcase their talents, creativity, and teamwork.

The BSES Program and GABLES Society would like to express their sincerest gratitude to the administration of Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology headed by Roy Lim Valesco for the approval, trust, and unwavering support extended in making this Earth Day celebration possible.

Seminar-workshop “Lens on Nature: Photo Techniques for Accurate Environmental Monitoring”.

Participants are actively engaging in meaningful discussions and hands-on activities, learning how to effectively capture and document environmental data through photography. From foundational concepts to practical application, this initiative emphasizes the vital role of visual documentation in enhancing scientific research and environmental monitoring.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed resource speakers from CENRO Zamboanga City—Sir Jay Paul Estabillo Mantuon, Ecosystem Management Specialist; Sir Leroy De Los Reyes, Ecosystem Management Specialist; and Sir Michael Ablong Cisneros, Park Maintenance Foreman—whose expertise and insights have greatly enriched this learning experience.

We also express our sincere appreciation to our College President, VPAA, College Dean, BSES Faculty, and GABLES Officers for their unwavering support and guidance in making this activity a success. Together, we continue to strengthen skills that contribute to effective environmental stewardship and research.

Stay tuned for more highlights! 😉

We thank everyone (CFAS-BSES Task Force, BSES students, BSES alumni, different office units of ZSCMST and stakeholders) who made this achievement possible. All glory to God!
