The College of Technology (CoT) of Sorsogon State University (SorSU) demonstrated its commitment to academic excellence and global engagement as it welcomed a distinguished delegation from Can Tho University (CTU), Vietnam, on November 26, 2025, for a hands-on Laboratory Integration Program. This activity forms part of the ongoing implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between SorSU and CTU, further strengthening collaborative efforts in research, extension initiatives, and academic–cultural exchange.
The delegation, headed by Dr. Trần Thanh Hùng, Vice Rector of CTU, included student representatives Lâm Nhã Trúc, Trần Thiện Diễm Quỳnh, Trịnh Văn Thắng, Nguyễn Phát Ti, and Đào Thành Nhân.
Upon arrival, the delegates were warmly received by College of Technology Dean Orlando Doncillo and the CoT faculty, who ensured that the visit to the college was smooth, engaging, and intellectually enriching.
The academic component of the visit was facilitated by the Electrical Technology and Electronics Technology Departments, whose faculty expertly prepared the laboratories, guided demonstrations, and supported the delegates’ interactions with SorSU students.
The formal program began with the playing of the Vietnamese and Philippine National Anthems, followed by Opening Remarks delivered by Area Chair Sir Alexander Jaynario. In his message, he emphasized the importance of intercultural academic exchange and the shared pursuit of technological advancement.
CTU delegates were then integrated into three mixed teams alongside SorSU’s 4th-year Electrical Technology students. The groups rotated across three specialized laboratory stations, each facilitated by faculty from the Electronics and Electrical Technology Departments:
Mechatronics
Instrumentation and Process Control
Motor Control
These stations provided hands-on, collaborative activities that allowed both Filipino and Vietnamese students to exchange knowledge, strengthen technical competencies, and experience SorSU’s dynamic laboratory environment.
The visit concluded with a brief awarding ceremony, during which certificates and tokens of appreciation were presented to the CTU delegates in recognition of their active participation and the growing partnership between the two institutions.
SorSU’s warm accommodation of the CTU delegation signifies yet another milestone in the university’s internationalization initiatives. Through the leadership of Dean Orlando Doncillo, the guidance of Area Chair Sir Alexander Jaynario, and the support of the Electronics and Electrical Technology faculty, the College of Technology continues to uphold its commitment to hospitality, innovation, and global academic collaboration.
