The two-day scientific gathering brought together biology educators, researchers, professionals, and students to promote scientific learning, research, collaboration, and the important role of biology in building a sustainable future.

A highlight of the event was the participation of Mr. Michael H. Galapon, adviser of UniVERSE, who presented his research paper entitled “𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙧𝙚-𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙎𝙘𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮: 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢." His presentation highlighted the importance of understanding the learning needs and challenges of future Science teachers as a basis for developing appropriate interventions and strengthening their preparation in Biology education.

Adding to the research participation was the poster presentation of a Sorsogon State University student research study entitled “𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙜𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮." The study showcased the diversity of bird species found within the campus and emphasized the importance of biodiversity documentation, conservation, and environmental awareness.

The participation of Sorsogon State University – Magallanes Campus in this regional scientific gathering reflects our commitment to advancing research, strengthening scientific literacy, and providing opportunities for future Science educators and researchers to engage in meaningful academic discourse.

Through presentations, poster sessions, plenary lectures, workshops, and collaborative discussions, the event served as a valuable avenue for learning, sharing knowledge, and building connections within the scientific community.

Breaking new ground and stepping forward can lead to greater heights, as 𝑴𝒓. 𝑺𝒐𝒄 𝑮𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝑩𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒐𝒏, a Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) Science student and a member of UniVERSE from Sorsogon State University – Magallanes Campus, showcased his study titled “𝘼𝙫𝙞𝙛𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝘾𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙜𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮” through a research poster presentation at the 60th BIOTA National Convention and Scientific Session held in Legazpi City, Albay.

The research was conducted in collaboration with Sir Michael Galapon and Ma’am Jinky Bailon, who both contributed significantly to the completion of the study.

Student researcher Mr. Soc Gillan Bailon shared that his experience in presenting the study allowed him to meet individuals with similar passions and interact with professionals in the field. “𝑶𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆, 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚.

As an organization, UniVERSE looks forward to more of its members actively participating in such activities to broaden their perspectives on research across various disciplines and further enhance their academic and professional growth.

This participation highlights the active involvement of Sorsogon State University (SorSU) students in national scientific events and their growing contribution to research and academic development.

| April 11, 8:00 AM | Ginangra

UniVERSE organization accomplished a new achievement as PROJECT EDUCARE: Laboratory Exposure and Symposium was effectively arranged in Ginangra this April 11, 2026, unifying grade 7 to grade 12 students, colleges, and out of school youth in a significant outreach initiative.

Participants showed eagerness and focus during the program.
The topic discussed is about HIV or Human Immunodeficiency Virus and AIDS where participants listened attentively, actively participated, and didn't hesitate to ask questions that showed their willingness for gaining knowledge.

One of the interesting parts of the seminar is the s***m viewing where the participants had the chance to look at the specimen under the microscope.

With the guidance of UniVERSE adviser 𝑺𝒊𝒓 𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒏 and the Barangay Nutrition Specialist 𝑴𝒓𝒔. 𝑨𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒛 𝑴𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆, the program becomes successful. After the event, the PIO officer, 𝑴𝒔. 𝑹𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒏 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕 shared her happiness as a youth member of Barangay, experiencing programs like this that will surely make an impact on their community.

The distance didn't stop the officers and advisers in sharing knowledge with the youth. Indeed UniVERSE continues to strengthen minds, promote awareness, and inspire the youth to learn and expand their understanding.

The project is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 2: Zero Hunger, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
