In line with the 126th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary and the institution’s commitment to impactful public service, Davao del Sur State College (DSSC), through its Extension Office facilitated a series of extension activities under the “Lingkod Bayani: DSSC Extension in Action“ on September 25, 2026.
As part of the initiative, the College of Engineering and Technology (CET) conducted a Bamboo Laser Printing Training for Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) at Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Digos City District.
Dr. Eric Del Rosario, Program Head for Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, facilitated the training, providing participants with practical and marketable skills that can provide opportunities for livelihood and income generation through bamboo laser printing.
On the other hand, the Institute of Graduate and Professional Education (IGPE) successfully extended a Research Methods Workshop for Alternative Learning System (ALS) teachers in Digos City.
The workshop aimed to strengthen the research knowledge and skills of ALS teachers, equipping them with the foundational competencies needed to develop research studies and utilize evidence-based approaches in addressing challenges in education.
Meanwhile, the College of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (CMAS), conducted a financial literacy workshop for its Barangay-Based Solution-Focused Community at Brgy. Igpit, Digos City to Persons Who Used Drugs (PWUDs).
It aimed to enhance the skills development training of PWUDs from Brgy. Igpit in terms of financial literacy, equipping them with the necessary skills for budgeting, resource management, and economic self-sufficiency.
Through these initiatives, the DSSC demonstrates that public service extends beyond institutional duties and includes reaching communities, empowering individuals, and creating opportunities for empowerment. These activities embody the spirit of Lingkod Bayani and the institution’s continuing commitment to service with purpose and impact.
The following activities contribute to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1: No Poverty, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, SDG 4:Quality Education and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
