Project PAGLAOM under his alliance is a platform laid for: Proactive leadership, Accountability & transparency, Green governance, Literacy & innovation, Advocacy for all, Opportunity for talent, and Mobilizing communities. According to their official page, the project name was derived from the Visayan and Central Philippine language located in Bicol and Masbate regions as ‘hope,’ which correlates to their vision of the platform for creating a Debesian community with PAGLAOM as the bridge between where we are and where we deserve to be.

The upcoming projects to be expected are the Green Space project to beautify the school gardens and respective areas in partnership with student organizations to foster a more conducive environment for learning. Campus Sustainability Initiative, with the implementation of the strict waste segregation program and “eco-days” regularly for campus-wide clean-up drives segregation facilities that will soon be placed throughout the campus. SOGIE Awareness Workshops will also be done to educate the student body and faculty on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, and Expression to manifest a culture of respect. One of the highlights of the platforms is the Rainbow LGBT Accredited Organization which will have a representation and stance in the student body. Mental Health “Safe Spaces” Initiative is also another platform where designated areas on campus will be labeled as ‘quiet zones’ or ‘stress-relief hubs’ equipped with comfortable resources and mental health materials, working closely with the guidance office. Pasiklab Performance Series is also a chance for all Debesian singers, dancers, poets, and musicians to shine on the spotlight with low-pressure space to perform. This platform will organize events and programs to highlight the raw and pure Debesian talent. Another platform, Enhanced Disaster Readiness & Climate Action is a platform for creating workshops to train students in first aid and emergency response. Next platform, The Artists's Inventory And Support is a facility or office to employ artists (dancers, emcees, graphic designers, etc.,) to contribute in official events, ensuring their talents are prioritized while providing financial support to students representing DEBESMSCAT in national and regional levels. Project Kalipay is also a platform to partner up with local barangays and officials for small group sessions and gift giving, where student volunteers can teach basic literacy, digital skills, and financial literacy to kids while providing school supplies for the learners.

The SSC Transparency Portal is also one of their loud platform, making financial reports, council records, and project resolutions digital and accessible for any student at any time. Another one is the Student Rights Help-Desk, a dedicated committee for students with academic grievances. Other platforms are AI & Difital Literacy Seminars, “Student-Leader” Mentorship Program, The Debesian Research Hub, SSC Mobile Help-Desk & “Kapihan” Sessions, and the Agri-Entrep partnership where they will create a student harvest market, allowing a chance for students to sell or produce sustainable products on campus while promoting entrepreneurship.

With Hon. Rp Reel Acosta as the SSC Chairperson for Academic Year 2026-2027 at DEBESMSCAT, he serves not only as a student and a son, but also as a leader guided by a student-centered heart, strong governing skills, and versatile platforms.
