𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 | CEFI joins Inaugural Sustainable Futures Summit hosted by MSEUF

Faculty members of Calayan Educational Foundation, Inc. took part in the first-ever Enverga University Sustainable Futures Summit at the AEC Little Theater on February 27.

Eleonor Francisco, Coordinator of Community Affairs, together with the CES Coordinators from their respective departments — Carla Virginia Flores (Non-Teaching), Marie Antoinette Cantos (CLASEd), Clyde Pineda Cacha (RadTech), Dr. Filipe Merano (CHS), Monica Ramchand-Amparo (CBM), Tricia Santiago Pastrana (CCCJ), and William Christopher Salazar (MedTech) — actively participated in the event, representing their departments in advancing community extension initiatives.

ABS-CBN Weather Anchor and Resident Meteorologist Ariel Rojas served as the keynote speaker and explained the importance of community reporting, emphasizing how public participation in data-sharing can drive innovation and strengthen environmental sustainability.

Serving as one of the resource speakers, Dr. Rogelio T. Galera Jr., Director IV of the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office IV, highlighted the essence of transformative education. He advocated for a shift in perspective, urging academic institutions to treat communities as active partners and stakeholders rather than mere subjects of research or temporary projects.

Engr. Russell Alegre, Mall Manager of SM City Lucena, served as the second plenary speaker, stating the mall’s commitment to environmental stewardship. His presentation focused on the company’s current sustainability initiatives and local community involvement.

Highlighting the plan for a greener future, Vice President for Administration Atty. Dario R. Opistan, CPA, showcased how MSEUF directly targets the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. He emphasized that by aligning the University’s master plan with international sustainability standards, the institution is not only improving its global standing but also ensuring meaningful, long-term social impact.

As the fourth plenary speaker, Mr. Nilo B. Tamoria, CESO III, Regional Executive Director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources CALABARZON, focused on the agency’s strategic efforts to empower communities. Director Tamoria emphasized the DENR’s key role in transforming environmental policy by involving communities in sustainable development.

Meanwhile, Mr. Bryan Ezra C. Gonzales, MPA, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of GoodGov PH, underscored the urgent need to break down corrupt networks between corporations and politicians that fuel environmental exploitation.

The summit achieved its goal of connecting diverse groups of students, faculty members, educators, researchers, professionals, and sustainability advocates to learn, inspire one another, and develop actionable strategies for environmental sustainability and climate resilience.

CAVs stand united for the victims of the Cebu Earthquake. 💚🙏

The CEFI CES stands with the Cebu Institute of Technology–University (CIT-U) in its donation drive to extend immediate assistance to the earthquake survivors.

All CEFIzens are encouraged to bring their donations to the Office of Community Extension and External Affairs (CEEA) which will then be forwarded collectively to the official Cebu account.

Every act of kindness matters. Together, let us stand in solidarity with Cebu.

In light of the approaching Typhoon Opong, the public is advised to observe the following precautionary measures to ensure safety and preparedness:

✅ Stay indoors, seek safe shelter, and remain calm.
✅ Stock up on food, drinking water, first aid, and emergency kits.
✅ Keep flashlights, radios, and extra batteries ready.
✅ Monitor weather reports and official updates.
✅ Keep your mobile phones fully charged and save emergency hotlines.
✅ Trim trees near your homes to prevent accidents.
✅ Turn off electricity, gas, and water in case of flooding.
✅ Evacuate immediately if necessary and avoid low-lying areas.

📞 For emergencies, please call/text the Lucena City Command Center:
0970 128 5078 / 0968 719 5568 / (042) 731 6009

Let us work together to ensure the safety of our families and communities. Stay safe, everyone! 💚

When disaster strikes, it reminds us that no matter how strong we think we are, we always need each other. In the wake of the recent calamities that have left numerous families displaced, hungry, and struggling to recover, we are once again called to be each other’s source of hope and healing. 🌱

This is a humble appeal to everyone who has something to spare; be it gently used clothing, non-perishable meals, bottled water, hygiene essentials, or even a warm blanket. These simple things may seem small, but to those who have lost almost everything, they can mean the world. 💚

If you’re unable to give in kind, we also welcome financial help through digital means. A few pesos pooled together can provide warm meals, clean drinking water, or shelter for a family in need.

Let us not wait to be asked twice. Let’s show the power of a united community, the kind that doesn’t hesitate to lift others when they’re down. Every gesture counts, and your help can bring comfort and dignity to someone facing their darkest days.

We encourage you to drop by, share this post, and encourage your circles to get involved. You never know who you might inspire to give.

Together, let’s be the light in someone else’s storm. 🤝
