Northern Iloilo State University-Barotac Viejo Campus (NISU-BVC) successfully partners with Peace Corps Philippines and has recently participated in the orientation and Swearing-In ceremony of the Volunteers which took place from April 10th to 12th, 2024, at Citadines Bay City Manila, located in Macapagal Boulevard, Pasay City.

Peace Corps Philippines is a non-government organization that plays a vital role in addressing the country's needs for trained individuals while fostering an exchange of understanding between the Philippines and America.

In addition to Northern Iloilo State University (NISU-BVC), two other esteemed institutions have been selected to partner with Peace Corps Philippines for Batch 53. These institutions are the Philippine Science High School in Quezon City, Manila, and the University of the Philippines in Los Baรฑos.

As part of this collaboration, NISU-BVC is privileged to have ๐Œ๐ฌ. ๐‡๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž ๐’๐จ๐ซ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ๐ž๐ง from Colorado, USA, joining their team as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer. Ms. Sorensen is an ecotourism specialist who will be dedicating her expertise to NISU-BVC and to the whole Province of Iloilo for a period of 7 months, from April to November 2024.

During her tenure, Ms. Sorensen will focus on the development of agri-ecotourism and capacity building initiatives. Her presence and contributions will undoubtedly enhance NISU-BVC's efforts in promoting sustainable agriculture practices and creating opportunities for ecotourism in the region.

The partnership between NISU-BVC and Ms. Sorensen as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer reflects the commitment of both parties to fostering international cooperation, knowledge exchange, and sustainable development. It is an exciting opportunity for NISU-BVC to benefit from Ms. Sorensen's expertise and for her to gain valuable experience working with a reputable institution in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, in the said ceremony, several esteemed individuals from NISU-BVC attended. Dr. Ruby S. Yotoko, the Campus Administrator, was present, along with Dr. Maita Aban-Gonzales, the Dean of the College of Agriculture, and Dr. Marlene V. Wendam, Chairperson of Linkages. Their participation and the full support of the university president, Dr. Bobby D. Gerardo, showcased NISU-BVC's commitment to promoting international cooperation and collaboration in education and development.

The event also saw the presence of Mr. Donald Gawe, the executive director of the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA). His attendance further emphasized the importance of volunteerism and community service in the country.

The swearing-in ceremony was administered by Ms. Marguerite Roy, the Peace Corps Country Director. Her presence added significance to the event, highlighting the dedication and commitment of the Peace Corps Volunteers in their mission to make a positive impact on communities in need.

NISU-BVC's participation in the said event demonstrates their dedication to fostering global partnerships and contributing to the development of the Philippines. It is a testament to their commitment to education, service, and creating a better future for all.

This partnership marks another significant step forward in Northern Iloilo State University's mission to provide quality education, promote sustainable practices, and contribute to the overall development of the community and the country.

In a stunning display of talent and dedication, Javez Ballongay, a gifted pianist hailing from the Northern Iloilo State University-Barotac Viejo Campus, won second place during the 2024 Regional Association of State Universities and Colleges (RASUC) VI - Culture and the Arts Conference and Festival, held at Carlos Hilado Memorial State University- Talisay (Main) Campus.

Ballongay's journey to the top was not an easy one. He faced fierce competition from equally talented pianists from different Universities in the region. Despite the lack of time for practice, his exceptional skills and passion for music shined through. Javezโ€™s performance was intimate, cathartic, and sweet yet subtle, which perfectly suits the pianistic mood of the Ryan Cayabyab classic entitled, "Nais Ko." He is grateful for the dedication, support, and patience extended by his coach, Prof. Francis A. Peรฑaranda, who is also a talented musician, songwriter, and music educator.

"Halin sadto permi lang takun second, daw waay gid tsansa mag-champion" said Javez in an interview. He also expressed that if given the opportunity to compete in such competition again, he will train harder until he can do well and become a champion.

After all, Northern Iloilo State University, especially the Barotac Viejo Campus, is immensely proud of Javez's achievement. His success serves as an inspiration to his fellow NISUnians, proving that with hard work and passion, one can achieve greater heights.
