In celebration of the 35th Library and Information Services Month (LIS Month) and the 91st National Book Week 2025, the JBLFMU-Molo University Library Department and CES Office successfully conducted an Outreach Activity on October 17, 2025, at Severo Abeto Elementary School, Barangay Sooc, Arevalo, Iloilo City.

This initiative was organized to broaden the reach of the University Library Department and strengthen its commitment to promoting literacy within partner communities. Through a series of interactive and learner-centered activities, the program aimed to cultivate a love for reading, provide enriching educational experiences, and foster meaningful community engagement among the Grade 1 and Grade 2 pupils of the partner school.
The activity not only highlighted the importance of libraries as gateways to knowledge but also reinforced JBLFMU–Molo’s mission to support education, empowerment, and lifelong learning.

The three-day Seminar-Workshop on Research Writing, with emphasis on Community Extension Services Impact Studies, concluded with notable success on October 23, 2025. The session, led by Dr. Biran Gil S. Sarinas, Officer-in-Charge and Director for Research and Development and Community Extension Services, brought together 15 participants composed of CES officers, committee members, and volunteers from the three academic units of JBLFMU/JBLCF. Over the course of the workshop, participants were equipped with essential knowledge and practical skills for conducting impact studies and developing research-based community extension programs, making the engagement both productive and meaningful.

On October 4, 2024, JBLFMU CES organized an outreach program at Sto. Domingo Day Care Center, reinforcing its commitment to the JBLFMU Educational Assistance Program. The initiative was made possible through the Bulig Lacsonian: A Donation Drive Activity, with generous support from employees of JBLF Inc., JBLFMU Shared Services, the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, and JBLF ILA.

Collected materials included books, educational toys, art supplies, bond papers, bags, notebooks, and pencils, all aimed at enhancing the quality of education for the young learners at the center. JBLFMU has maintained a partnership with Sto. Domingo Day Care Center since 2008, supporting 41 children aged 0–4 years.

This initiative highlights JBLFMU’s dedication to Sustainable Development Goal 4, promoting inclusive and equitable quality education while laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning among early learners.

The 5th Batch of the Strengthening Family Relationships Seminar was successfully conducted in the Province of Guimaras, gathering 140 parent participants from seven partner barangays at the New Function Hall of Nueva Valencia. Organized by the JBLFMU Community Extension Services (CES) with full funding support from the ERDA Foundation, the seminar aimed to reinforce family bonds and equip parents with vital knowledge on legal and relational aspects of family life.

The activity was made possible through the strong support of the Municipal Local Government Unit of Nueva Valencia, which provided the venue and PA system. Atty. Shereal Ferrer-Vicho served as resource person on Family Laws, while Kiezel Escander and Krishyl Bangero led sessions on Parent-Child Relationships. Social Work student interns from IDC and CSCJ facilitated interactive activities. Simultaneously, a Community Needs Assessment was conducted to inform more responsive and sustainable family-centered programs.

On July 28, 2025 and August 5, 2025, the second batch of the JBLFMU Educational Assistance Program was successfully conducted at the six Barangays in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras. The activity was attended by Barangay Officials from both communities and IBMS Protected Area Superintendent Mr. Aljun Margallo, along with the JBLFMU CES Coordinator and volunteers who facilitated the distribution.

Students identified as beneficiaries received school supplies, uniform allowances, and other educational support aimed at enhancing their learning experience and reducing barriers to education. This initiative reflects JBLFMU CES’s ongoing commitment to supporting academic growth, promoting equitable access to education, and empowering students to achieve their full potential within their communities.

On November 21, 2025, JBLFMU Community Extension Services (CES) conducted its annual outreach at the Sto. Domingo Day Care Center, distributing educational materials, eating utensils, two electric fans, food items, and individual gifts for the children.

This initiative directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, by enhancing the learning environment, and SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being, by promoting children’s nutritional needs and overall welfare. The day care center expressed gratitude for JBLFMU’s continued dedication to nurturing young learners and fostering a supportive, caring community environment.
