Laboratorians donate smartphones to the needy students of CatSU
CollegesThe Catanduanes State Colleges
(now Catanduanes State University) Laboratory Schools (CSCLS) Batch ‘97,
Singapore Chapter has donated smartphones to four deserving students from the
College of Education and College of Agriculture and Fisheries.
Based on the recommendation of
Deans from the 2 Colleges, four students were selected as beneficiaries:
Nichico M. Canaria (CoED), Janine DL. Barro (CoED), Anthony Carl T. Pamplona
(CAF), and Jake V. Tabirao (CAF).
The donation was made possible
through the efforts of Dra. Jenevy Lizaso, a CSCLS Batch ‘99 alumna, who
managed to get sponsors from Batch ’97.
The smartphones were handed over
to the students last January 18, 2021 by the CatSU Vice President for Academic
Affairs, Dr. Maria S. Tugano together with the Deans of the College of
Education and College of Agriculture and Fisheries, Dr. Rosana S. Abundo, and
Dr. Epifanio S. Rubio respectively, and some faculty members.
A beneficiary, Jake V. Tabirao,
2nd year BS Agriculture student, said he is so grateful for the donation, as it
will help him with the modules currently sent thru online modes, which
previously he can do only after borrowing a phone from a friend thus, resulting
to late submission of required outputs.
The University, on its part,
extends its sincere appreciation to the sponsors who donated the devices which
will definitely serve a bigger purpose – to help ease the burden faced by some
students during these trying times brought about by the pandemic and super
typhoon Rolly. #JManlagnit
