BPA Students Witness Memorandom of Agreement Signing Between CHMSU Talisay and CHR

Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) students witnessed the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement with the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on May 22, 2026, at the CHMSU Talisay (Main) Campus Function Hall.

The agreement formally establishes a collaborative partnership dedicated to promoting and strengthening a sustainable culture of human rights through education, research, and active community engagement. By combining institutional efforts and shared advocacy, the partnership aims to raise awareness, encourage critical understanding, and empower individuals to uphold the principles of dignity, equality, and justice within society. With the Akobatayan, we were informed of valuable and essential information that deepened our understanding, broadened our perspective, and highlighted the importance of staying knowledgeable and aware.

As election season approaches, discussions about leadership, governance, and public responsibility once again take center stage. Behind every ballot cast lies the electoral process โ€” a system that allows citizens to choose leaders who will represent their voices and shape the direction of the nation. Understanding this process remains essential in preserving democracy and encouraging responsible citizenship.

Through understanding the electoral process, citizens โ€” especially the youth โ€” become more aware of the importance of participation in governance. Informed voting not only strengthens democracy but also ensures that leadership remains accountable to the people it serves.

Inside the crowded hall filled with students, teachers, and youth leaders, one message echoed strongly throughout the symposium: the youth hold an important role in protecting and promoting human rights. "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan," a timeless statement from Jose Rizal, continues to resonate in modern society as the youth remain powerful voices for change, justice, and progress. Indeed, the statement remains relevant in today's generation.

The 4th University Foundation Week of Carlos Hilado Memorial State University ended with a blast. It lasted just a week, yet felt like a century of memoriesโ€”moments that will linger far beyond the campus grounds.

It began with colorful booths scattered across the university, each bursting with creativity and life. They reflected the resilience, teamwork, and dedication of students who worked tirelessly behind them. Every booth showcased its program with bold, captivating designs meant to draw people in and spark curiosity. Inside these lively spaces were joyful games that echoed laughter across campus, as students roared with excitement, forgetting stress and embracing the spirit of celebration.

Fascinating events highlighted the incredible talents of each program. Everywhere you looked there was something happeningโ€”performances that captured attention and held it tightly. Passersby stopped in awe, drawn into the energy and passion radiating from every stage. Behind each performance stood undeniable effort, discipline, and a shared determination to make every moment unforgettable.

Sports events refused to be ignored. Courts and fields came alive as students displayed remarkable skills, strength, and teamwork. Every movement carried confidence; every play met with loud cheers from classmates and friends who supported them with pride. It was more than competitionโ€”it was unity, passion, and school spirit in motion.

Head-turning food stalls filled the air with irresistible aromas and colors, offering mouth-watering dishes and refreshing drinks that relieved the relentless heat. Nearby, stalls sold keychains, clips, bracelets, jeans, and other creative items that made it impossible to pass without taking a second look. Each stall carried its own charm, turning campus into a vibrant marketplace of culture and creativity.

Program Day thundered with energy and enthusiasm, echoing from one corner of campus to another. Each department proudly presented its identity, showcasing talent, knowledge, unity, and pride. The cheers, performances, and presentations turned each moment into something powerful and memorable.

Finally, the exhibit stood as a quiet yet powerful reflection of the week. Each display told a story of effort, teamwork, and dedication. Carefully arranged stalls revealed studentsโ€™ creativity, skills, and knowledge, making the exhibit not just to be seen but to be felt and appreciated.

The foundation week was more than a celebrationโ€”it was an experience woven with laughter, passion, pride, and memories that will forever remain in the hearts of everyone who witnessed it.

Students of the Bachelor of Public Administration at Carlos Hilado Memorial State University brought energy and warmth to the campus on the morning of May 14, 2026 as PE Day and Culminating Activity was held.

First and second year students arrived early, full of laughter and friendly banter, ready to test their skills and support each other in a series of team based activities.
Second year BPA students took over the volleyball courts with fast moving rallies, quick passes, and high fives that turned every point into a small celebration. First year students joined the Hyrox race, a fast paced fitness challenge that mixed running with short bursts of strength exercises, and pushed through fatigue while clapping and cheering for one another. The sense of camaraderie was clear, as students ran, jumped, and played not just to win, but to share the experience together.

Faculty advisers and student organizers worked steadily behind the scenes, making sure games ran on time and that safety stayed a priority. Volunteers helped wherever needed, from guiding participants to the right stations to keeping the mood upbeat. With everyone giving their best, the campus felt warm, lively, and full of connection. The event turned PE Day into a reminder that growth, teamwork, and fun can all happen in the same place at the same time.
