West Visayas State University and the Philippine Information Agency have formalized a partnership to promote responsible journalism and strengthen public information efforts across Region VI.

 

WVSU President Dr. Joselito F. Villaruz and PIA Regional Head Cheryl B. Amor signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on April 25 at the WVSU Boardroom, marking the start of collaborative efforts between the academic and government sectors.

 

The agreement outlines joint initiatives in educational programming and community-based projects aimed at empowering the youth, supporting government efforts, and advancing sustainable development in the region.

 

The partnership will also focus on engaging students, faculty, and staff through workshops, seminars, and technical support aligned with national communication priorities.

 

Present during the signing was Ms. Edel Carmela Subong-Csoka, head of the WVSU International and Local Linkages Office, who emphasized the importance of multi-sectoral participation in building a well-informed and responsible citizenry.
