NEWS | 227 students in Calayan receive ₱2,500 financial aid through board-approved USCF resolution

A total of 227 students from the Cagayan State University (CSU) Sanchez Mira – Calayan Extension Campus received ₱2,500 each in financial assistance after the University Student Council Federation (USCF) secured the approval of a resolution for the release of funds through the Student Mutual Aid Program (SMAP).

The financial assistance aims to support students who were severely affected by Super Typhoon Nando, which struck Calayan Island on September 22 while Signal No. 5 warnings were in effect.

During the aid distribution, outgoing Student Regent Kyle Aron T. Tan emphasized the university's commitment to supporting students across all CSU campuses.

“I am here because I want you to know you are not alone. When Typhoon Nando hit your island, our hearts were worried for you. The Student Regent and the Federation do not just exist for the mainland; we exist to represent all of you,” Tan said.

He further stressed the federation's dedication to serving students regardless of distance.

“The ocean between us is nothing but water; it will never stop us from hearing your voice or fighting for your concerns,” he added.

The resolution, titled "Approving the Proposed Release of ₱500,000.00 as Financial Assistance to CSU Calayan Extension to be Charged Against the Student Mutual Aid Fund (SMAF)," was one of the key student matters presented, proposed, and defended by SR Tan during the 98th Regular Meeting of the CSU Board of Regents on November 20, 2025.

The resolution was authored by Federation Representative Julius Ceazar F. Balayan, with Federation President Alex Sarmiento serving as co-author.

The Board of Regents approved the resolution in response to the extensive damage and hardships experienced by students of the CSU Calayan Extension Campus following the devastation caused by Super Typhoon Nando.

NEWS | House Bill seeks establishment of CSU-Baggao campus

A bill seeking to establish a regular campus of Cagayan State University (CSU) in Baggao, Cagayan is gaining support as lawmakers push to expand access to higher education in the eastern part of the province.

The proposal moved forward in discussions during a Committee on North Luzon Growth Quadrangle meeting on June 3.

House Bill No. 9695 proposes the establishment of Cagayan State University-Baggao, which would offer short-term technical-vocational, undergraduate, and graduate programs based on the university’s mandate and capability.

The proposed campus aims to provide students in eastern Cagayan easier access to college education, especially those who currently need to travel to other municipalities or campuses to continue their studies.

Under the bill, funding requirements, including plantilla positions for teaching and non-teaching personnel, will be included in the annual General Appropriations Act (GAA).

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED), led by Chairperson Dr. Shirley Agrupis, expressed support for the proposal, citing the need to widen access to education in underserved areas.

If enacted into law, CSU-Baggao will become an additional regular campus under the Cagayan State University system, which currently has nine regular campuses.

The bill was introduced by Congressman Joseph “Jojo” Lara, who pushed for the creation of a regular CSU campus in the municipality.

NEWS | CSU Calayan ext’n campus holds first-ever academic convocation with 40 grads

The Cagayan State University (CSU) Sanchez Mira - Calayan Extension Campus conducted its first-ever academic convocation on June 3, marking a milestone for the island campus with the graduation of 40 students from three degree programs.

Of the total graduates, 21 completed the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program, 11 earned degrees in Bachelor of Science in Agriculture major in Animal Science, and eight graduated from the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management program.

Outgoing Student Regent Kyle Aron T. Tan attended the ceremory who became the first student regent to visit the CSU Calayan Extension Campus.

Cum Laude graduate Glaideeh E. Malana of the College of Information and Computing Sciences delivered the graduates' response on behalf of the Class of 2026.

In her speech, Malana expressed gratitude to the campus community for fostering an environment where she felt accepted, respected, and supported throughout her academic journey.

“Adu kadatayu iti mabuting ag sau wen nu agingatu ti ima na ti inug ti eskwela gapu ta mabuting tayu nga ma-judge, makatawaan wen nu maibagaan iti ‘anya daytan’. Ngem agayaman nak unay ta dituy Calayan, dituy CSU family saan ku naranasan dagita,” the Tuao native graduate said.

“They gave me respect; they made me feel I belong. Tunay ngang ang mga CSUans ay hindi lang matatalino kundi may busilak na puso, mapagkalinga sa kapuwa at marunong magpahalaga kung sino ka,” she added.

The convocation was attended by CSU Officer-in-Charge President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Mariden V. Cauilan, and other university officials, who also discussed prospective development projects and infrastructure improvements to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the extension campus.

The ride ends, but the story doesn't.

In every vehicle, there are passengers who eventually have to step off to continue toward their own destinations. Today, we bid farewell to our graduating members—journalists who once helped steer our publication through stories that informed, inspired, and gave voice to the community.

The journey was never easy. From long nights of writing and chasing deadlines, to exhausting coverages and stories told not only through ink, cameras, and keyboards, but through courage and conviction—you became an essential part of the vehicle that carried truth and freedom within and beyond the university.

Thank you for being part of this journey, 'ates' and 'kuyas', for helping drive a publication built on truth and freedom, and for leaving tracks that future komyu members will continue to follow.

You may be stepping off the vehicle, but you will always remain part of its story.

Once a komyu, always a komyu!

“LIBRE KO NA LANG KASI MGA GRADUATES KAYO.” 🤍

Maraming netizens ang naantig ang puso sa ginawang kabutihan ng isang tricycle driver sa Tuguegarao City matapos niyang ilibre ang pamasahe ng mga graduating students mula MCNP-ISAP College of Nursing.

Ayon sa uploader na si Lindley Shreen Dumadag, kagagaling lamang nilang lima sa kanilang graduation practice sa coliseum nang sumakay sila sa tricycle ni Tatay Raul Cabuco patungong Robinsons Mall. Habang nasa biyahe, nagtanong umano si Tatay Raul kung ano ang meron sa coliseum, at nang malaman nitong mga graduating students ang kaniyang mga pasahero, agad niya silang binati at kinongratulate.

Ibinahagi rin umano ni Tatay Raul na napagtapos niya ng kolehiyo ang dalawa niyang anak sa University of Cagayan Valley—isang bagay na labis niyang ipinagmamalaki bilang ama.

Laking gulat naman ng mga estudyante nang tumanggi si Tatay Raul na tanggapin ang kanilang bayad. “Hindi na, libre ko nalang kasi mga graduates kayo. Congrats ha,” ani umano nito.

Nagbigay rin ng mensahe ang uploader na si Lindley para kay Tatay Raul, kung saan ipinaabot niya ang kaniyang pasasalamat sa kabutihan at pagiging mapagbigay nito.

"Hindi man po niya siguro alam, pero yung simpleng kabutihan na ipinakita niya made a big impact not only to us students, but also to many people who saw the video. Sana po mas marami pang ma-inspire na tumulong at maging mabuti sa kapwa katulad niya,” ani Lindley.
