The Biliran Province State University (BiPSU) Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) Department successfully conducted a crucial Fire Safety Awareness Seminar on Thursday, October 24, 2025, at the University Gymnasium. This proactive event targeted the BSBA 4th-year students who are poised to begin their workplace internships in the upcoming second semester.

This activity is a key component of the department's comprehensive pre-internship preparatory measures. It is designed to ensure that the students are not only academically and professionally ready for the corporate environment but are also equipped with essential knowledge in safety and disaster preparedness—a critical need in any modern workplace, especially in a region prone to natural occurrences.

The department, led by Mr. Hans Christian V. Molina, Chairperson, underlined the significance of moving beyond classroom theory.

Mr. Molina remarked, "Our priority is to ensure our future professionals are not just academically sound but also prepared for the real-world environment. Equipping our interns with these life-saving skills before they step into their respective offices is non-negotiable; it underscores our commitment to their total well-being and responsible professional practice. This holistic training is key to developing a true HusayPreneur—a competent business leader with integrity and social responsibility.

Prof. Victor C. Canezo, Jr. EdD., CHRP, President of BiPSU, lauded the department's initiative, emphasizing its alignment with the University’s core mission of human empowerment.

"The success of our students is not measured by academic excellence alone; it is also defined by their readiness, resilience, and commitment to safety. This initiative embodies BiPSU's commitment to the weaving of worthiness—building graduates who are valuable in all dimensions of professional life, contributing positively to their communities and industries.

We are proudly sending out professionals who are not only equipped with sharp business skills but also with the essential, life-saving protocols that are critical in any workplace. This preparedness ensures their well-being and allows them to be responsible, contributing members of their future organizations. We continue to invest in these crucial, non-academic skills, affirming our commitment to producing highly competent and socially responsible graduates. We are immensely proud of this initiative. WoW BiPSU!"

By integrating specialized safety knowledge into their pre-internship curriculum, the BiPSU-BSBA Department continues to advance its mission to produce highly competent, safety-conscious, and responsible professionals for the local and national workforce.
