In celebration of Women’s Month and as part of its continuing extension program, the General Education Unit of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines - Jasaan, in partnership with the Gender and Development (GAD) Office of USTP Jasaan, Rotary Club of Central Jasaan, Women’s Organization of Barangay Natubo, and the Natubo Barangay Council, conducted a community symposium on sexual harassment, violence against women and children (VAWC), and women’s mental well-being on March 26, 2026, in Barangay Natubo, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental.

The outreach activity aimed to strengthen awareness on women’s rights, legal protection, personal safety, and mental health, while encouraging the community to take part in creating a safer and more supportive environment for women and children.

The session opened with “𝘊𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯,” led by 𝗣𝗦𝗦𝗴. 𝗥𝗼𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗩. 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼 and 𝗣𝗦𝗦𝗴. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝗰𝗘𝘃𝗼𝘆 of the Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD), PNC, Jasaan Municipal Police Station. In their discussion, the speakers emphasized the importance of building spaces where women feel safe, respected, protected, and empowered.

They also discussed the role of law enforcement in responding to cases involving women and children, while reminding participants that reporting abuse, harassment, and violence is an important step in seeking justice and protection. The speakers encouraged women to become more aware of their rights and to not remain silent in situations that threaten their safety and dignity.

Part of their discussion also focused on 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟭𝟯𝟭𝟯, or the 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁, more commonly known as the 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝘄. The police officers explained that the law protects individuals from gender-based sexual harassment in public spaces, educational institutions, workplaces, and even online platforms. Through this, participants were given a clearer understanding that offensive comments, catcalling, unwanted gestures, sexual remarks, and other similar actions are not harmless behavior, but forms of harassment that may be punishable under the law.

Another key part of the symposium was the discussion on “𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘉𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨,” delivered by 𝗠𝘀. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗻𝗲 𝗣. 𝗝𝗮𝘆𝗼, 𝗟𝗣𝗧, 𝗥𝗣𝗠, 𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗖 (𝗖𝗔𝗥), Guidance Advocate of USTP Jasaan. In her lecture, Jayo emphasized that women’s welfare should not only be viewed in terms of physical safety, but also through the lens of emotional and psychological well-being.

She discussed how stress, trauma, discrimination, family pressure, and painful experiences such as abuse or neglect can deeply affect a woman’s mental health. She also underscored the importance of emotional support, self-awareness, and seeking help when needed.
Her discussion reminded participants that mental health care is an essential part of empowerment, healing, and personal growth.

The initiative also reflected USTP Jasaan’s broader commitment to promoting gender sensitivity, community development, and social responsibility through relevant and responsive extension programs. By bringing conversations on women’s safety, dignity, and well-being directly to Barangay Natubo, the university and its partners helped strengthen awareness and encourage collective action at the grassroots level.

More than a Women’s Month observance, the symposium served as a reminder that creating safer communities for women and children requires continuous education, active participation, and shared responsibility. Through efforts like this, USTP Jasaan and its partner organizations continue to uphold not only academic service, but also their role in advancing protection, empowerment, and social awareness in the communities they serve.

March 22, 2026 — Marking a significant milestone for National Women’s Month, the Alumni Association of the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) Jasaan successfully staged "𝗥𝘂𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀, 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝘀" today.

The 5-kilometer advocacy run drew hundreds of participants to the streets of Jasaan, symbolizing a collective stride toward gender equality and the celebration of female leadership.

​The event was a masterclass in community synergy, organized in close coordination with the Jasaan Community Runners (JCR) and key university sectors, including Gender and Development (GAD), the National Service Training Program (NSTP), VOICES, University Student Government (USG), and The Cache Publication.

​The initiative was further bolstered by various corporate and local sponsors, whose contributions provided the necessary resources to ensure a safe and high-energy experience for all runners. Beyond the physical race, the event featured segments dedicated to raising awareness for gender-sensitive issues, reinforcing the university's commitment to the GAD mandate.

​By bridging the gap between alumni, current students, and the local community, the USTP Jasaan Alumni Association continues to establish itself as a pillar of social responsibility. As the dust settles on the 5 km route, the impact of "Run the World 2026" remains—a testament to the power of collaborative leadership in Jasaan.

The University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines - Jasaan participated in the 2026 First Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill on March 12, 2026. Students, faculty members, and staff joined the activity to practice what to do during an earthquake and to strengthen safety awareness on campus.

During the drill, participants performed the basic safety steps “𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽, 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗱.” They practiced dropping to the ground, taking cover under sturdy furniture, and holding on until the shaking stops. The simulation helped the campus community understand the proper actions to take during an earthquake.

The activity aimed to prepare everyone in the university to respond calmly and safely in case a real earthquake happens. Through regular drills like this, USTP Jasaan continues to promote disaster preparedness and protect the safety of its students and personnel.
