Mindanao State University-Main Campus made history for the realization of the ICT Modernization Program and the successful conduct of its Phase 1 - the distribution of five hundred laptops to the faculty members of the different colleges in the university.

Based on a published article in the Manila Times, the national government allotted P2.5 billion in funds to realize a modernization program to enhance the institution’s Information and Communications Technology. Five hundred laptops were partially distributed to the faculty members of the university’s different colleges during April and May this year. Phase 1 of the project is worth around P1.5 billion and this also covers the installation of fiber optics, the upgrade of the WIFI access point, the establishment of the data center, and closed-circuit television cameras around the campus.

The distributed five hundred laptops were part of the institution’s procurement of the 15,000 laptops which is estimated to be fully realized during phase 2 of the project before August this year. The remaining faculty members of the colleges who did not receive their free laptops in Phase 1 will receive theirs along with the enrolled undergraduate students of the university on the forthcoming arrival of the remaining laptops.

“With the ICT Modernization Program, the distribution of 15,000 laptops for all faculty members will be experienced when this project is fully implemented. We keep assurance also of the full support of the implementation of the project. We are paying back this through the welfare of the Mindanao State University, the constituents, the students, and the nearby communities for as far as the Mindanao State University can reach,” MSU System President Habib W. Macaayong stated.

[STORY] My SGV Internship Experience

My SGV Internship Story By Rohaina Dansal While May 2022 was the best month for others like the CPALE passers, it was the contrary for me. I lost two of my loved ones within that month. On top of that, the month of May was the final weeks of our 2nd semester in 3rd year. Things were really busy with all the upcoming exams, research paper defense, and complying requirements. There was even no time to breathe because we had to proceed to our summer classes with full units. During summer classes, while my batchmates were already talking about their target agencies and offices for our OJT requirement in the next semester (August), I didn't even worry about it.  They say when you lose something, God replaces it with good things. During our summer classes, the in-charge professor for our OJT messaged our batch GC an invitation letter from SGV for their SGV NLIP 2022. He said anyone can try to apply on the given link but only 10 will be chosen from our school. Upon reading it, I ignored i...
