Pangasinan State University Sta. Maria Campus conducted a tree-growing extension project titled โ€œPSUโ€”TATAKVOLUNTIR AND COMMUNIVERSIDAD: GREENING THE ENVIRONMENT PROJECTโ€ in Barangay Cacandungan, Natividad on September 13, 2025.

The project aims to restore and preserve the watershed, which will benefit the communities, specifically in Cacandungan and Bachelor, Natividad.

The activity, initiated by Campus Executive Director, Dr. Oliver C. Caasi, was carried out with the joint efforts of the campus faculty, staff, and students, together with the Natividad United Farmers' Association, Inc. (NUFAI) and the Municipal Government of Natividad. Participants planted malunggay (moringa) and avocado trees as part of the greening effort.

In an interview, Dr. Caasi expressed hope for stronger program involvement, saying, โ€œWish ko lang na all programs will have at least one extension project and outreach project in that community in Cacandungan and Bachelor East because they are both part of the watershed. They are part of the holistic approach.โ€

Consistent with the universityโ€™s mission to extend its services beyond the campus, Pangasinan State University Sta. Maria Campus continues to support communities in need.

Sila ang buwaya pero bakit tayo ang nasa baha?

Sila na puro "That one or THIS KAYA?"
Habang tayo ay puro "ano at paano na kaya?"

Sila na panay "That one or THIS KAYA?" while choosing what luxury car ang gagamitin for today's gala.
Habang tayo panay "para po kuya" araw-araw sa jeep na 30kph nalang ang takbo dahil luma na.

Sila na palaging "that one or THIS KAYA?" while choosing from the menu of a "fayn dayning restawran"
Habang tayo, masaya na kapag may sabaw ng Lucky Me noodles with egg sa hapag kainan.

Sila na panay "that one or THIS KAYA?" every time they enter their "walk in closet" because they can't choose their OOTD.
Habang tayo halos sa ukay ukay lang o sa shopee bumibili tapos ang MOP pa is Spaylater o kaya COD.

Kagalit-galit, kasuka-suka. Tax ng ina natin, sa kanila napupunta.

Matutuldukan pa ba ang tila walang hangganang pag "that one or THIS KAYA?" nila o tuluyan na tayong malulubog sa bahang hindi kalikasan, kundi kapwa natin ang may gawa?

Ninakaw lang ba nila ang kapangyarihan at kalayaang makapagnawakaw sa kaban ng bansa o ibinigay natin ito ng kusa dahil tuwing eleksyon ay hindi tayo marunong mag "that one or THIS KAYA?"

Sa pamamagitan ng malalakas na depensa at pagkakaisa matagumpay na naiuwi ng mga g**o ang panalo kontra sa mga estudyante ng PSU sa iskor na 10-8 na pinangunahan ni Ma'am Angeline Dasugo, Chairman of the Department of Agriculture, sa Giant Volleyball Exhibition match kaugnay sa pagdiriwang ng Su***de Prevention Month, September 10, 2025.

Maganda ang naging takbo ng laro sa palitan ng iskor ng bawat koponan. Bagamat agresibo ang mga mag-aaral, hinigitan ito ng mga g**o sa pamamagitan ng matibay na depensa at strategikong opensa. Sa huling bahagi, hindi na pinalampas ng mga g**o ang pagkakataon at tuluyang sinelyuhan ang laban, 10-8.

Samantala, sa ikalawang bahagi ng laro, muling nagtunggali ang teaching staff kontra accounting staff sa isang dikit na laban. Sa huling hirit nagawa nilang itabla ang iskor sa 9-all. Subalit hindi nagpatinag ang Teaching staff at nagpamalas ng kakaibang estilo dahilan upang makamit ang panalo, 10-9.

Sa huli, hiyawan at tawanan ang naging tampok sa palarong ginanap sa PSU-SM Court.

In celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary and the 46th Founding Anniversary of Pangasinan State University, the Teaching and Non-Teaching Personnel of PSUโ€“Santa Maria Campus clashed in a โ€˜friendlyโ€™ basketball game at the CBC Court on September 10, 2025, with the teaching staff winning 30โ€“18.

With leading scorers, Mr. Ronel Ali Omolida and Mr. Marleo Montenegro of the teaching staff, the game became mixed defense with playful passes that often turned into laughter and turnovers, as Mr. Mark Jayson Mariรฑas and Mr. Deo Derick Cruz served as announcers.

In the end, the highlight was the cheers, comedy, and campus spirit shared by everyone who came to celebrate.

In line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being, the Leaders of Innovation, Knowledge, Home Economics, and Arts (LIKHA), in collaboration with the Supreme Students Council (SSC), took an initiative with its commitment to wellness and holistic development through various Su***de Prevention Activities on September 10, 2025, at the Capability Building Center (CBC) of Pangasinan State University โ€“ Sta. Maria Campus.

Underscoring the theme "Integrating Mental Health Education Towards Effective Su***de Prevention," the event aimed at raising awareness and support on su***de prevention which featured film showing, a poster-making activity through chalk art, a photobooth, and a snack corner.

According to Ms. Michelle Della, adviser of LIKHA, the activities were launched to give a safe haven for the students and faculties to release the tension inside of their minds, reminding everyone that such venture can help to develop a better mental health and su***de prevention.

"The photobooth was created to disseminate information on su***de prevention, while chalk-art activities were used to foster creativity and highlight the importance of prevention. The film showing intended to share inspiring stories related to mental health and su***de prevention," she said in an interview.

Moreover, students from the different college departments expressed their appreciation to the activities of the said organizations.

โ€œMahalagang bagay ito para katulad naming stress na sa acads. Sa mga activities na ito, mas namumulat kami sa kasabihang โ€˜hindi ka nag-iisaโ€™,โ€ a student from College of Teacher Education said.

โ€œMaganda ito, actually, mas naging open din kami to share our unsaid thoughts. Sa ganitong paraan, mas gumagaan yung mga bagay na dinadala namin, mga silent battles namin,โ€ a student from College of Agriculture uttered.

The event also conducted physical activities such as Zumba, Basketball, Volleyball, and Giant Volley, fostering physical activity, which is linked to better mental health outcomes, and foster connectedness and community, which are vital protective factors against su***de.
