In solidarity with the celebration of the 57th Anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Biliran Province State University (BiPSU) participated in the Virtual Simultaneous Flag-Raising Ceremonies held today, August 5, at the BiPSU Gymnasium. The event was virtually attended by all State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the country.

Themed "Enhancing Connectivity and Resilience," the activity, organized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), focused on historical milestones and future aspirations, including sustainable development and ongoing efforts to promote unity and collaboration among member countries.

University President Dr. Victor C. Cañezo, Jr., along with key university officials and students, graced the event, wearing Cambodian attire as assigned by CHED Regional Office VIII.

In his virtual message, Mr. Daniel Espiritu, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs, encouraged CHED to continue engaging fellow ASEAN Member States in finding better ways to harness the skills, talents, and potential of young people.

“This will prepare ASEAN human resources to be agile, resilient, competitive, and future-ready,” said Assec. Espiritu.

Additionally, CHED Regional Office VIII released a memorandum on Friday, August 2, mandating SUCs to attend the virtual activity.

Following the flag-raising, BiPSU continued with its regular 3As program, where employees from the School of Criminal Justice Education (SCJE) presented on Awareness, Accomplishments, and Actions, reflecting the university's ongoing initiatives and contributions.
