Recognizing the efforts of students, faculty, and staff in giving their expertise and effort on the implementation of ESO and OSHO’s projects in the community, the office brought in the integrated health and community services.

“Naniniwala kami na give and take ang service, hindi lang take nang take or give tayo ng give kasi nakakaburn-out po yun emotionally, physically, and psychologically,” shared by Ma. Erika Joy David-Villar, one of the ESO’s Area Specialist.

This activity also aims to foster volunteerism to the community in connection with the forged partnership between the Pampanga State U and Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency.

A donation drive was also organized for the women and children of Barangay Tinajero, Bacolor and Del Pilar, City of San Fernando, Pampanga.
