The Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA)โPili Campus, through its National Service Training Program (NSTP) Office, successfully held โISTERO x ISTILO: Inspiring Environmental Responsibility and Empowering Youth through University Clean-Up and Leadership Trainingโ on December 14, 2025, bringing together students in a day-long initiative centered on service, sustainability, and leadership.
The activity was spearheaded by NSTP implementers MC Wilson De Cena, Jonalyn Palaypayon, Abigael Rose Bobis, and Alvir Bausa, in collaboration with PPDS โ Utility Services, as part of the programโs continuing efforts to translate civic education into meaningful community action.
The event unfolded in two major phases. In the morning, students participated in a campus-wide clean-up drive, actively promoting environmental stewardship through proper waste segregation, designated area assignments, and collective volunteer work, which strengthened studentsโ sense of civic responsibility and environmental awareness. Faculty members and trained medics were present throughout the activity to ensure safety, discipline, and smooth coordination.
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to leadership training and a culminating social program, where students engaged in interactive sessions to enhance communication skills, teamwork, decision-making, and values-based leadership. The activities fostered camaraderie among participants and encouraged them to reflect on their roles as responsible citizens and future leaders in their respective communities.
The ISTERO x ISTILO activity demonstrated its commitment to environmental sustainability, leadership development, and community engagement, reinforcing CBSUAโs mission of shaping socially responsible, service-oriented, and empowered graduates. | ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅย ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ดย ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ช
