In her presentation, Dr. Matunhay highlighted the College’s sustained volunteerism initiatives, including community outreach programs, student-led volunteer engagements, and other activities that promote awareness and participation in volunteer service.

“Tradisyon na namin taon-taon, na tuwing sasapit ang pasko, ang maghatid ng serbisyo sa mga liblib na lugar sa aming probinsya,” shared Dr. Matunhay.

(It has become our yearly tradition every Christmas to provide services to the remote areas of our province.)

Babia, President of the City College of Cagayan de Oro, Dr. Elbert M. Galas, President of Pangasinan State University, Dr. Merian C. Mani, President of Romblon State University; Dr. Diosdado P.
