                In line with the DEP ED Region 6 search for The Best Performing BLT (Busog Lusog Talino)School for the year, WVCST Professors together with DEP ED evaluators, were designated to evaluate public elementary schools which are under the BLT School Feeding Program.

                COE Professors were assigned to different schools each day to evaluate the implementation of the program such as the progress of the pupils’ weight, the preparation of food, cleanliness, participation of the parents and the pupils as well as the school to the said program.

                In N. J. Ingore Elementary School for example, which was evaluated by Dr. John Eric Juaneza and Prof. Ma. Arlyn Jimenez, there are only 14 pupils out of 40 who are left on the severely wasted mass index (malnourished), 20 are in the wasted category (low weight) and 6 pupils now have normal weight based on their 109^th day implementation of the 136 days feeding cycle.

                The budget for every meal is Php 300.00 which is sponsored by the Jollibee Group Foundation, the Local Government Unit and partly also by the school. Parents are very supportive of the program wherein they are given the responsibility of the BLT Coordinator to do the marketing and preparation of the food.

                The evaluation of the public schools with BLT Feeding program runs for 1 week and is done during the feeding time. The schools involved are Graciano Lopez Jaena Elem. School, Feliciana Java Kelly Prim School, La Paz 2 Elem. School, Ticud Elem. School, Jalandoni Elem. School, Jaro 1 Elem. School, NJ Ingore Elem. School, Bakhaw Elem., Severo Abeto Elem. School, E.

To address hunger and malnutrition among school children from typhoon devastated areas in the 5^th District and in Municipalities of Capiz, Western Visayas College of Science and Technology together with the Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) embarked on a Special Feeding Program. The Special School Feeding Program (SSFP), is inspired by the Foundation’s Busog Lusog Talino (BLT) Feeding Program but with some modifications to cater to the scope and magnitude of the disaster’s impact.

The program which also aims to encourage children to go back to school, is serving lunch 3 times a week- Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a period of 30 days starting January 20 to March 28, 2014 to pupils from all grade levels.

WVCST is handling 7 municipalities in the Province of Iloilo and Capiz with a total of 78 public elementary schools and 27,005 beneficiaries.

The JGF is providing the feeding budget and in-kind support to the target schools like rice, feeding and cooking utensils. Meanwhile, the College will provide the monitoring support.

With regard to this, orientations were conducted to partners LGUs, DepEd Supervisors, School Principals, teacher coordinators, Baranggay and PTA Officials to assure the effective and efficient implementation of the program. Engr. Cora Corbal, Director of the Extension Services Division of WVCST and her staff, spearheaded the said orientations in Lemery, San Rafael, San Dionisio, Estancia, Concepcion, Ajuy and Dumarao, Capiz.

            Western Visayas College of Science and Technology together with the Department of Science and Technology – Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC-DOST) and MIAP – TESDA signed a Memorandum of Agreement today, January 8, 2014, on a training program on CNC Machine Tool Programming and Operation.

              

The training program is a DOST-GIA (Grants In Aid) project designed for CNC Operators for a sustainable growth and competitiveness of the metal and engineering sector. It also aims to answer the “brain drain” problem that the country is undergoing since a lot of machine operators on metals industries have been going abroad. It has been noted that CNC machine operators are in demand not just abroad but also in the country. With the help of MIAP – TESDA, it targets 800 trainees that will be trained in different batches until the end of 2014.

                DOST has identified regions where trainings can be conducted and Western Visayas College of Science and Technology was chosen to provide some of the facilities like conventional machines and it will augment with other Colleges who do not have these facilities.

                The signing of the MOA was headed by Dr. Luis M. Sorolla, WVCST President, Dr. Dominico Sergie Valenciana, Dean, College of Industrial Techology, Dr. Danilo N. Pilar, MIRDC CNC Training Project Leader, Ms. Ines L. Palermo, Metal Industries Association of the Philippines National Executive Vice President and Engr.Nelson Lopez, MIAP, Vice President for the Visayas. Also present to witness the event were VP for Admin and Finance – Dr. Nehema K. Misola, Engr. Christian Misola of the Environment and Safety Department and Mr. Eugene Guevarra of MIRDC, Manila.
