HAPPY WORLD TEACHER'S DAY to the pillars of Viscan Youth Mappers, Ma'am Jannet and Sir Rey!

Dora said explore 🔍🗺️, not exploit 💢!

Last September 19, 2026, Viscan YouthMappers joined the annual International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) held at the VSU Beach and Brgy. Pangasugan areas. Student leaders and volunteers from various organizations came together for this worldwide initiative that aims to promote cleaner shores and responsible waste management.

Volunteers also helped in assessing the collected waste through WABA (Waste Assessment and Brand Audit), identifying and categorizing different types of waste for environmental data collection.

This participation shows that VYM goes beyond mapping. We are always open to collaborations that bring communities together for the shared goal of protecting the environment and creating lasting positive impact.

MAPPING KNOWLEDGE, BUILDING SKILLS! 🗺

The Viscan YouthMappers successfully conducted MAPAusbong: Officers' Training Workshop on September 12, 2026, at EB-102, Faculty of Engineering. The event aimed to equip emerging officers and committee heads with the necessary skills and knowledge in mapping and data collection that they can apply for their future projects and initiatives.

The morning sessions focused on building foundational skills in geospatial tools, beginning with KoboToolBox and KoboCollect, led by Mr. Jun Mark Arano, followed by Basic QGIS, with Ms. Baby Liezyl Paurillo as the resource speaker. In the afternoon session, Mr. Benson Clark Dagalea delved deeper into analytic mapmaking using QGIS, discussing the creation and application of Classification Maps, Heat Maps, and Suitability Maps.

A huge thank you to our amazing speakers for sharing their expertise and guiding the participants throughout the sessions! Your time, effort, and passion for sharing your knowledge made the training more meaningful. We truly appreciate your contribution to the learning and growth of our officers.

Padayon, Viscan YouthMappers!

As part of the program, MAPABIDA Awards were given to recognize the active members who contributed to the organization's activities and projects. VYM also held the Election of Officers for the academic year 2026-2027, and we warmly welcome the new set of officers led by Mr. Jun Mark Arano, the newly elected VYM President.

Thank you to everyone who joined and supported the event. The Viscan YouthMappers is now set and we look forward to a fruitful and impactful year ahead!

LOOK | During the Student Onboarding Program, our VYM VP External, Jun Mark Arano, introduced Project MaPaGuaPa to the newest batch of Viscans on August 10-11, 2026.

Project MaPaGuaPa is a student-led mapping initiative that helps Viscans find accessible student accommodations within Marcos, Pangasugan, Guadalupe, and Patag. As a student-led initiative, this project aims to make the search for a place to stay easier and more accessible for every Viscan.

Originally developed as a special study by Engr. Robeth Kathleen Datoy, the project was later relaunched by Viscan YouthMappers with updated and validated housing data. The platform was further enhanced through a modern, user-friendly web interface developed by Christian Earl James Boyles, a computer science student.
