“I did not graduate from a university here in the Philippines. I am proud to say, that I graduated from U-A-E, the ‘University of Actual Experience.’ Ito lang ang maipagmamayabang ko. Marami tayong experience sa ating ginagawa.

Pero bakit natin ito ginagawa?

Kasi, we want to serve the people and more people kaya ginagawa natin ito. Ang kasipagan natin ay nanggagaling sa kagustuhan natin na tumulong sa nakararami.”

ZSCMST supports ICORFASA 2024

Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology, led by Dr. Rufa L. Mendez, Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Extension (VPRIE), attended the International Conference on Responsible Fisheries and Sustainable Aquaculture (ICORFASA) held last July 3-5, 2024, at Limketkai Luxe Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City. Eleven faculty members shared their research during the event, either in oral or poster presentations. The ZSCMST delegation includes Dr. Mendez, Dr. Maila V. Pan (Director of the Technopreneurship and Innovation Center), Ms. Charity T. Castro, Prof. Arthur L. Panganiban, Jr., Ms. Mary Flordiluna A. Guisada, Ms. Annie B. Gonzales, Prof. Nerissa B. Bongo, Dr. Rocelyn R. Alabata, and Ms. Kathleen J. Dalope. Two graduate students of the Master in Fisheries Management (Aquaculture Technology) program, Mr. Aldrin A. Artieda and Ms. Sherrah Mae Pinote, joined the oral competition. Moreover, Dr. Pan and Dr. Mendez served as parallel session moderators since ZSCMST is one of the collaborators for the said event. Dr. Mendez also served as one of the judges for the oral presentations. The group was also joined by the Training and Extension Director, Mr. Marlon Omatang; SCUBA Training Center Head, Mr. Raymond Antonio Lim; and Research Utilization and Information Unit Head, Ms. Jeanette M. Reyes. This was done in order to expose the OVPRIE staff to the recent trends in fisheries and build linkages with other institutions.

The said conference was hosted by Mindanao State University at Naawan, and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), in collaboration with universities from Turkiye and the Philippines, serves as an avenue for scientific discourse, best practices sharing, and collaboration forging.

This participation affirms the commitment of ZSCMST to serving its mandate by providing necessary leadership in professional and technical instruction to produce the manpower needed for the sustainable use and development of natural resources in Western Mindanao, thereby accelerating economic growth and improving the quality of life of its people. This is us taking actions to empower people, protect the planet, promote prosperity, support peace, and forge transformative partnerships.
