Zppsu-Cics Extension Office

The ZPPSU-CICS Extension Team is honored to have joined Sta Maria Central School (SMCS) during the Opening Program of Brigada Eskwela 2026, which also served as the official launch of the ALIVIO-SF System as part of the school's enrollment process. We are grateful to be recognized as one of the school's stakeholders and partners in supporting initiatives that enhance educational services through innovation and technology.

This partnership provides a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the school's continuous improvement efforts by helping streamline enrollment and school form management. The implementation of ALIVIO-SF aligns with the goals of both DepEd and CHED in promoting digital transformation, strengthening community engagement, and improving the delivery of educational services through innovative solutions.

As Brigada Eskwela highlights the spirit of bayanihan and collaboration, we are proud to work alongside SMCS, its teachers, parents, and stakeholders in creating a more efficient, responsive, and learner-centered educational environment. We look forward to sustaining this partnership and making a positive impact on the school community.

Mr. Roman Jade Salomon, Associate Dean and Research Coordinator of the College of Information and Computing Studies (CICS), actively participated in the 2026 Philippine Association of Extension Program Implementors, Inc. (PAEPI) International Extension Conference held in Cebu City on May 20–22, 2026, representing Zamboanga Peninsula Polytechnic State University (ZPPSU). During the conference, he proudly presented the project entitled ALIVIO-SF under the Innovation Area, showcasing how the system was developed as an extension-driven digital initiative aimed at improving the management and organization of school forms and educational records through a more efficient, accessible, and technology-based approach. His presentation highlighted the significant role of innovation in supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting quality education, institutional efficiency, and inclusive digital transformation within the education sector. The presentation also became an avenue for meaningful exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices among researchers, extension implementors, and academic leaders from various institutions, further emphasizing the potential of ALIVIO-SF as a relevant and impactful innovation that contributes to effective extension service and sustainable educational development.

The CICS extension team—represented by the Research Coordinator/Associate Dean Mr Roman Jade Salomon and the Extension Coordinator Ms Lobella DP Calago are actively engaging with the Sta Maria Central School (SMCS) faculty through an orientation on the upcoming June 2–8 enrollment, where the digitalized SF1–SF10 system will be officially implemented. The session is not just a walkthrough of the system, but a collaborative moment where questions are welcomed, concerns are addressed, and confidence is built among the teachers who will be using it. As part of the Year 2 extension activity, this initiative focuses on real-world application and pilot testing, ensuring that the transition from manual to digital processes becomes smoother, more efficient, and truly supportive of the school’s day-to-day operations.

A coordination meeting was conducted with the School Principal Dr. Villanueva and Dr. Lantaka to discuss the implementation of the Year 2 extension initiative on the Digitalized School Forms (SF), scheduled on June 2–8, 2026 in Sta. Maria Central School, focusing on the pilot testing of the system during the school’s enrolment period.
