“Kadiwa sa WVSU” took center stage as West Visayas State University (WVSU) launched its 2025 University Days celebration on Jan. 27, at the Rizal Hall Grounds. The event spotlighted local agricultural products and innovations through colorful exhibits.

Opening at 1 p.m., the soft launch transformed the Rizal Hall Grounds into a vibrant hub of discovery, underscoring WVSU’s dedication to promoting sustainable practices and community development.

In his remarks, WVSU President Dr. Joselito F. Villaruz emphasized the vital role of agriculture in society. “Through initiatives like ‘Kadiwa sa West,’ we are not only creating opportunities for our local producers but also fostering a deeper appreciation for agriculture as the backbone of our economy and culture,” he said.

The event formally began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Rizal Hall Grounds, led by Dr. Villaruz along with university administrators, deans, directors, and Department of Agriculture officials.

Students, faculty, and visitors explored the exhibits, which featured agricultural innovations, cultural showcases, and locally produced goods. Each display reflected WVSU’s commitment to empowering local communities and supporting sustainable initiatives.

The “Kadiwa sa WVSU” exhibits will be open to the public until January 31, offering a week-long celebration of collaboration, innovation, and local ingenuity.
