La Consolacion College Bacolod and the Department of Social Welfare and Development Negros Island Region are exploring a partnership that would bring the college’s creative arts and design expertise into community-based livelihood initiatives.

Representatives of LCC Bacolod and DSWD met Tuesday, Aug. 18, to discuss potential collaboration under the agency’s Sustainable Livelihood Program, particularly opportunities to connect artists and design professionals from the college with community enterprises.

The proposed partnership seeks to combine DSWD’s livelihood development programs with LCC Bacolod’s academic and creative resources to help communities improve handicrafts and other locally produced goods through design, product development and creative input.

Sr. Flolyn S. Catungal, OSA, president of LCC Bacolod, said the initiative reflects the college’s commitment to bringing education beyond the classroom and using professional expertise to respond to the needs of communities.

“Education becomes more meaningful when the knowledge and talents developed in our classrooms are shared with communities. Through partnerships such as this, our artists and educators can help people transform their skills and available resources into opportunities for sustainable livelihood,” Catungal said.

The meeting brought together officials and technical personnel from both institutions to identify areas where creative education could complement existing livelihood interventions.

Representing LCC Bacolod were Catungal; Bernadette T. Tupas, head of the Mother Rita Barcelo Outreach Center; and Edmund Bacia, a faculty member of the School of Architecture, Fine Arts and Interior Design.

DSWD representatives included personnel from the Sustainable Livelihood Program Negros Occidental Provincial Staff, along with project development officers from District 3 and the Lone District.

The collaboration could provide opportunities for LCC Bacolod faculty members and eventually other members of its academic community to apply their expertise in art and design to product enhancement, creative development and other livelihood-related activities.

The initiative also strengthens the connection between academic programs and community engagement by demonstrating how disciplines traditionally associated with creative expression can contribute to entrepreneurship and local economic development.

For LCC Bacolod, Catungal said partnerships with government and communities form part of the institution’s mission of placing education and professional competence at the service of others.

“Creative education should not end with producing good artists and designers. It should also empower them to recognize how their gifts can contribute to the dignity and well-being of others,” Catungal said.

Both institutions are working on the next steps toward translating the initial discussions into community-based activities under the Sustainable Livelihood Program.

La Consolacion College Bacolod’s Integrated Basic Education Department has intensified preparations for its upcoming PAASCU Level III re-accreditation visit through a series of mock evaluations, seminars, workshops, classroom observations and administrative reviews aimed at strengthening institutional practices beyond accreditation requirements.

In the weeks leading to the Aug. 24-25 visit of the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities, administrators, teachers and support personnel have been reviewing academic and administrative processes, examining documentary evidence and assessing how institutional goals are translated into everyday teaching and school operations.

The preparations have included a mock accreditation visit designed to simulate the actual evaluation process and identify areas that require further attention. Faculty and personnel have also participated in meetings, workshops and other preparatory activities focusing on instruction, student services, documentation and quality assurance.

Classroom observations have become an important part of the preparation, providing administrators an opportunity to examine teaching practices and the integration of the institution’s Augustinian and Marian values into classroom learning.

LCC Bacolod President Sr. Flolyn S. Catungal, OSA, who observed classes as part of the preparation, noted how teachers incorporated values formation into their lessons rather than treating it as separate from academic instruction.

“What is important is that our values are not only written in our documents or displayed in our classrooms. They should be experienced by our students through the way we teach and the way learning takes place,” Catungal said. “During the classroom observations, I was happy to see how our teachers were able to integrate values naturally into their lessons.”

The preparation has also involved extensive administrative work as various offices review records, supporting documents, policies and evidence demonstrating the implementation and sustainability of school programs.

Sr. Irene M. Bancolo, OSA, who has been overseeing the preparation of exhibits and the overall readiness of the department, said the process requires collaboration across units and careful attention to how the school documents its continuing development.

“The exhibit should tell the story of the department — not simply what we have accomplished, but how our programs, activities and systems contribute to the formation and education of our students,” Bancolo said. “Preparing for accreditation is a collective responsibility, and the cooperation of everyone is important in making sure that we are ready.”

Faculty members have likewise been working together through departmental and subject-area meetings to review instructional materials, teaching strategies, assessment practices and other evidence of student learning.

Administrators have stressed that the preparations are intended not merely to ready the school for the external evaluation but to encourage reflection on existing practices and identify opportunities for improvement.

The PAASCU process allows schools to undergo systematic self-evaluation and external assessment based on established standards for educational quality.

For LCC Bacolod, the preparations leading to the Level III re-accreditation visit have become an institution-wide exercise in reviewing how policies, programs and values are carried out in practice — from classroom instruction and student formation to administrative systems and community engagement.

The Basic Education Department will undergo its PAASCU Level III re-accreditation visit Aug. 24-25.

Faculty members of La Consolacion College Bacolod explored strategies for strengthening student engagement and critical thinking during a professional development session held Aug. 14 at the college.

Rafael Patrick Pecjo, PhD candidate, led the session titled “Minds On, Hearts In: Strategies for Meaningful Engagement and Critical Thinking of LCCians,” highlighting approaches educators can use to create learning experiences that engage students intellectually while fostering deeper personal involvement in the learning process.

The session formed part of LCCB’s faculty development activities aimed at equipping educators with responsive teaching strategies and strengthening the institution’s distinctive Catholic educational mission.

Pecjo’s presentation focused on meaningful engagement and critical thinking, emphasizing the importance of moving students beyond passive participation toward active inquiry, reflection and purposeful involvement in classroom learning.

The afternoon program identified Pecjo’s talk under the theme “Catholic Charism and Strategies for Engagement and Critical Thinking Skills.” The session provided faculty members an opportunity to examine how classroom practices can integrate academic rigor with the values and formative dimensions of Catholic education.

The presentation ran from 1:20 p.m. to 4:20 p.m. and was followed by an open forum, allowing participants to raise questions and further discuss the application of engagement and critical-thinking strategies in their respective disciplines.

Dr. Romela Auyero, vice president for administration, introduced Pecjo as the second resource speaker.

Kevin Ciana of the School of Architecture, Fine Arts and Communication Arts gave the token and words of gratitude following the open forum.

Dr. Rodjhun Navarro, vice president for research, innovations and linkages, delivered the word of thanks before the program concluded with a closing prayer led by Ricky Minerva.

The activity underscored the continuing role of faculty development in strengthening teaching practices that challenge LCCians to think critically while remaining grounded in the values and educational mission of La Consolacion College Bacolod.

The La Consolacion College Bacolod Chorale and Chorus delivered a stirring rendition of Tom Fettke’s “The Majesty and Glory of His Name” during the opening ceremony of the Negros Occidental Private Schools Sports, Cultural and Educational Association Season 46 on Friday, Aug. 14, at Bacolod Tay Tung High School.

Under the baton of Prof. Alexander Magno Romero, the ensemble brought together the voices of its singers in a performance marked by strong vocal blend, disciplined musicianship and expressive interpretation.

The sacred choral work added a sense of grandeur and reverence to the opening program, as students, educators and representatives of NOPSSCEA member schools gathered for the start of the organization’s new season.

Romero said the performance reflected not only the singers’ musical preparation but also their understanding of music as a means of bringing people together.

“Our singers prepared for this performance with discipline and a shared commitment to communicate the meaning of the music,” Romero said. “More than achieving technical excellence, we want every performance to become an opportunity to inspire, serve and create a meaningful connection with our audience.”

The appearance marked the second time the LCCB Chorale and Chorus had been invited to perform during a NOPSSCEA opening ceremony, underscoring the ensemble’s continuing participation in major interschool events in Negros Occidental.

The singers’ return to the NOPSSCEA stage also highlighted LCC Bacolod’s sustained support for the performing arts and opportunities that allow students to develop their talents beyond the classroom.

Through its participation in Season 46, the Chorale and Chorus represented the college not in athletic competition but through music — contributing to an opening ceremony centered on fellowship, shared identity and the gathering of private schools across the province.

For the ensemble, the performance served as another milestone in a growing tradition of musical excellence shaped by sustained training, collaboration and service.

With Romero’s direction, the LCCB Chorale and Chorus continues to provide young musicians with opportunities to refine their artistry while using choral music to represent the institution in significant community and interschool occasions.

La Consolacion College Bacolod has formalized new international linkages with Taiwan-based education partners through the signing of memoranda of understanding aimed at expanding student mobility, talent development, Mandarin language preparation and academic cooperation.

The agreements include a memorandum of understanding between LCC Bacolod and the International Talent Circulation Base Taiwan-Philippines, or INTACT Base, and a separate MOU between LCC Bacolod and Cheng Shiu University in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

The INTACT Base is composed of National Chung Hsing University, Kun Shan University and Cheng Shiu University. Under the agreement, the parties seek to strengthen education and industry collaboration between Taiwan and the Philippines and support the internationalization of higher education.

The MOU with INTACT Base focuses on two major areas: talent development and Chinese language education. It seeks to support qualified Filipino students and graduates who wish to pursue further studies through the International Industrial Talents Education Special Programs offered by universities in Taiwan.

Under the agreement, INTACT Base will facilitate the enrollment of qualified Filipino students in the INTENSE Program in Taiwanese universities, while LCC Bacolod will identify eligible students and promote awareness of the program among its student body.

The partnership also includes support for the development and implementation of Chinese language courses at LCC Bacolod, with the college expected to promote these courses among its students.

The MOU allows the participation of other public or private institutions, including universities in Taiwan and commercial entities, to strengthen and expand mechanisms that support its implementation.

The agreement will be effective for five years from the date of signing and will be automatically extended for another five years unless either party submits written notice of termination within the required period.

The separate MOU with Cheng Shiu University seeks to promote academic exchange and cooperation between the two institutions. The agreement covers the possible exchange of students, professors and research scholars; exchange of scientific materials, publications and information; and collaborative activities such as joint research, lectures, symposia and conferences.

The Cheng Shiu University MOU provides that detailed plans for specific activities will be developed through mutual consultation and negotiation. The agreement does not impose financial or legal obligations on either institution and will remain in force for five years, subject to revision, modification or renewal by mutual consent.

LCC Bacolod officials said the signing of the agreements opens practical pathways for students, graduates, faculty and staff to explore study, training, language learning, research and career opportunities in Taiwan.

The partnerships are expected to strengthen the college’s internationalization initiatives by providing a framework for scholarship guidance, Mandarin readiness, student mobility, academic collaboration, faculty engagement and industry-linked education.

Through the MOUs, LCC Bacolod aims to transform international linkages into concrete opportunities that prepare LCCians for global learning, professional development and employment pathways in Taiwan.

Students, faculty, staff and administrators of La Consolacion College Bacolod were introduced to Taiwan-based study, scholarship, internship and employment opportunities during a presentation by Ms. Krystl Lim of INTACT Base Taiwan-Philippines on Aug. 14 at the college’s Audio-Visual Center.

Lim, deputy CEO of the INTACT Base Taiwan-Philippines Iloilo Office, presented the International Industrial Talents Education Special Program, or INTENSE Program, following the memorandum of understanding signing between LCC Bacolod and INTACT Base Taiwan-Philippines.

The INTENSE Program is a study-to-work pathway that links Taiwan universities, the Ministry of Education and industry partners to prepare international students for academic training, internship and employment in Taiwan.

Lim said the program offers customized courses based on the needs of partner industries, with priority areas in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, semiconductors and finance. She said the program is intended to help international students gain both academic preparation and workplace exposure in fields needed by Taiwan’s industries.

She discussed program options available to Filipino applicants, including two-year bachelor’s programs, post-baccalaureate programs and master’s degrees. Many of the programs are taught in English to accommodate international students, although Lim encouraged students to begin learning Mandarin as early as possible.

Lim said Mandarin readiness is important not only for academic adjustment but also for daily life, internship participation and future employment in Taiwan. She encouraged interested applicants to take advantage of online Mandarin classes and to prepare for the required Mandarin proficiency level during the course of the program.

She also presented the scholarship package available under the program, which may include support for administrative expenses, one-way airfare, tuition and miscellaneous fees, and a monthly living allowance. The support comes from the Taiwan government, partner companies and participating universities.

Lim also explained the application requirements for interested students and graduates. These include a valid passport, English proficiency certificate, highest educational diploma, official transcript of records, study plan, curriculum vitae and recommendation letter.

For English-taught programs, applicants are required to present proof of English proficiency equivalent to CEFR B1. Lim said accepted certificates may include TOEIC, TOEFL or IELTS.

The presentation also covered the employment obligation under the program. Students who receive support are expected to work in Taiwan after graduation, with the duration of employment corresponding to the period of support received.

During the open forum, participants asked about opportunities for teacher education, psychology, hospitality and tourism, faculty exchange and other programs not directly covered by the INTENSE Program. Lim said that while INTENSE is mainly focused on STEM, semiconductor and finance-related fields, LCC Bacolod and INTACT Base may also explore other Taiwan education opportunities outside the INTENSE framework.

Lim said INTACT Base can assist the college by providing information, connecting interested applicants to relevant programs and supporting Mandarin language preparation.

The session formed part of LCC Bacolod’s efforts to strengthen internationalization, expand academic linkages and open more concrete global pathways for students, alumni, faculty and staff.

Through the partnership with INTACT Base Taiwan-Philippines, the college aims to help LCCians prepare for scholarship-supported study, industry-linked training and career opportunities in Taiwan.

La Consolacion College Bacolod President Sr. Flolyn S. Catungal, OSA, said the college’s partnership with INTACT Base Taiwan-Philippines opens new pathways for LCCians to pursue education, training and professional development beyond familiar borders.

Speaking during the memorandum of understanding signing and INTENSE Program presentation Aug. 14 at the college’s Audio-Visual Center, Catungal said the partnership represents a shared commitment to internationalization, global talent development and industry-academe collaboration.

“This afternoon’s MOU signing with INTACT and the INTENSE Program represents our shared commitment to internationalization, global talent development and industry-academe collaboration,” Catungal said.

She welcomed the guests from INTACT Base Taiwan-Philippines Iloilo Office, including Ms. Krystl Lim, deputy CEO; Dr. Nemia H. Mabaquiao, consultant; Mr. Brian Chen, project manager; and staff members Ms. Ibelle Villa and Ms. Danica Jean Latoja.

Catungal said the initiative builds on LCC Bacolod’s earlier efforts to establish linkages with Taiwan universities. She recalled that the college’s benchmarking activity at Fu Jen Catholic University introduced administrators to possibilities for global exposure and academic collaboration.

“Today, it is now becoming a reality through this MOU signing with INTACT,” she said.

Catungal said opportunities such as the INTENSE Program remind the academic community that education can take learners beyond their usual environment and help them discover what they are capable of achieving.

The INTENSE Program, or International Industrial Talents Education Special Program, is a Taiwan-based study-to-work pathway that connects international students with academic programs, industry training, internship and employment opportunities.

Catungal said the MOU signing should not be seen as the conclusion of the initiative but as the beginning of deeper cooperation between LCC Bacolod and its Taiwan partners.

She said the college looks forward to strengthening collaboration in student development, faculty engagement, academic programs, industry exposure, internships, research and other areas that can benefit both institutions.

“To our partners from Taiwan, thank you for believing in the potential of Filipino students and for opening opportunities for them to pursue education and professional development in Taiwan,” Catungal said.

She also encouraged faculty members and administrators to embrace the partnership not simply as an additional program but as an opportunity to transform how the college prepares students for the future.

Catungal directed a special message to students, saying the partnership was created for them.

“I challenge you to dream bigger,” she said. “The world is waiting for your giftedness, aspirations, talents, ideas, creativity, compassion and willingness.”

She said the MOU signing marks the start of more intentional efforts to prepare students for global opportunities while strengthening LCC Bacolod’s commitment to internationalization and integral formation.

“May this MOU become the foundation of a fruitful and lasting partnership as we share our commitment of giving access to global opportunity in Taiwan,” Catungal said.

Sr. Odyssa Estor, OSA, Superior General of the Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation, challenged the La Consolacion College Bacolod community to translate the Augustinian values of truth, unity and charity into everyday relationships, decisions and leadership, stressing that meaningful institutional change must begin with the individual.

Speaking during a formation session on Augustinian Spirituality, Estor said membership in an Augustinian educational community goes beyond employment or familiarity with the institution’s vision and mission. She urged faculty, administrators, personnel and religious members to develop a sense of ownership of the school’s mission and to express it through integrity, shared responsibility and service.

Estor framed Augustinian spirituality as a way of life that must be reflected in a person’s values, behavior, words, choices and relationships.

She emphasized that spirituality cannot remain at the level of concepts or memorized institutional statements. Instead, she said, it should shape how members of the community respond to correction, deal with conflict, make decisions and treat one another.

A major part of her talk focused on truth, which she described as something that no leader or individual can claim exclusively.

Estor said leaders must be willing to listen to people under their care because wisdom may also come from those whose voices are seldom heard. She encouraged consultation, dialogue and discernment in arriving at decisions that serve the good of the whole community.

“Every voice should be heard,” she said in response to a discussion on communication within the institution.

She said leadership does not give anyone a monopoly on knowledge and urged administrators and employees alike to recognize the abilities and insights of other members of the community.

The pursuit of truth, she added, also requires honesty, credibility and integrity. She challenged participants to examine whether their words and actions remain consistent even when no one is watching.

Estor also warned against gossip, hasty judgment and the spread of negative information about others, saying these practices weaken community life. She instead encouraged participants to speak about the good in others and to become sources of positive energy within the workplace.

Her discussion of unity centered on the movement from “me” to “us.”

Estor said members of an Augustinian community should not focus solely on personal interests, achievements or benefits but should recognize their shared responsibility for the institution and its mission.

She urged members of the LCCB community to care for institutional resources, contribute their talents and participate actively in the common work rather than act merely as recipients of what the institution provides.

Unity, she said, does not mean the absence of differences. Rather, it requires members of the community to bring their diverse ideas, experiences and gifts together in service of a common purpose.

Estor also highlighted the need for structures that allow people to communicate openly, particularly those who work closely with students and understand their needs.

She said external benchmarking and learning from other institutions are valuable, but schools must also examine their internal relationships, communication practices and organizational culture.

On charity, Estor emphasized service and leadership rooted in love.

She said positions of authority should be understood as responsibilities rather than privileges and warned against allowing titles and leadership roles to become sources of entitlement.

For Estor, genuine leadership is measured by how well a person serves those entrusted to his or her care.

She also spoke about correction as an expression of charity, noting that members of a community have a responsibility to help one another grow. Correction, however, must be motivated by concern and love rather than humiliation or hostility.

She urged participants to remain open when others point out areas for improvement, saying personal and professional growth requires humility and a willingness to change.

The Augustinian practice of interiority was another recurring theme in the session. Estor encouraged participants to examine themselves before criticizing others and to develop a deeper awareness of their motivations, limitations and relationship with God.

She said people often look outward for those who need to change while failing to recognize areas within themselves that also require conversion.

Estor challenged the community to begin institutional transformation from within.

“We may not be able to change the whole world,” she said in substance, “but we can refuse to become another source of negative energy.”

She encouraged participants to become agents of positive change in their families, workplaces and communities through small but deliberate choices grounded in truth, unity and charity.

Estor concluded by inviting members of the LCCB community to assess whether their lives reflect the Augustinian values they profess and whether their presence contributes to building or weakening the community.

Her message underscored that Augustinian spirituality is ultimately demonstrated not by what members of the community know about St. Augustine, but by the way they seek truth, build communion and serve others with love.
