Spearheaded by Prof. Crizaldy P. Binarao, MS, CNSM Dean, together with Dr. Rachel D. Biag, Head of the extension project "Kaalamang Siyentipiko, Magliligtas Sa Iyo," Prof. Emely Agatep, CNSM Extension Coordinator, and the entire CNSM faculty, the activity brought together experts and community members to strengthen disaster preparedness and resilience through science-based learning, hands-on training, and a tree-planting activity.
The event commenced with a tree-planting activity, highlighting the importance of environmental conservation as a proactive approach to disaster risk reduction. By planting trees, participants demonstrated that disaster prevention goes beyond awarenessโit requires meaningful action. Indeed, even the smallest acts of care for nature can create a lasting impact for future generations.
A significant highlight of the event was the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing between the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), represented by Dean Binarao, and the Barangay Local Government Unit of Barangay Linao Norte, represented by the Barangay Captain Renato Narag, alongside with other barangay officials. The MOA formalized the partnership and reaffirmed the shared commitment of the College and the community to advancing extension initiatives, promoting scientific knowledge, and strengthening disaster preparedness, environmental stewardship, and community resilience.
Participants attended a series of informative seminars, hands-on workshops, and featured distinguished resource speakers, including Ms. Vanet L. Viloria, CSRโSafety Services Professional and Programmer at Cagayan State University; Sir Leonardo T. Manuel, Safety Officer of the Philippine Red Cross, who conducted demonstrations on First Aid and CPR; Mr. Jayson G. Indong, who discussed disaster preparedness; Mr. Ivan Brix C. Adducul, who delivered a session on Occupational Health and Safety; Prof. Rommel L. Culili, who facilitated the Water Analysis session; and Prof. Yvonne Grace Besinga Escobar, RCh, who served as the distinguished guest speaker for the Soil Analysis session.
