LCUP - Research and Innovation

Ika-128 taon ng Kalayaan. Isang pag-alala sa nakaraan, at isang patuloy na pakikibaka laban sa mga makabagong mukha ng panunupil.

Dahil ang tunay na kalayaan ay hindi lamang kawalan ng dayuhang mananakop, kundi ang pagwakas sa kataksilan sa sariling bayan.

Ang pananaliksik at katotohanan ang ating magiging sandata upang hindi kailanman muling mapasailalim sa anumang uri ng panunupil.

The Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation recently concluded its Integrated Research Colloquium 2026 with the theme "From Capsule to Completion: Preparing Research for Implementation and Dissemination" last June 10, 2026. The colloquium was divided into two separate sessions: the Work-In-Progress Session which featured on-going studies from various university personnel; and the Institutional Research Colloquium dedicated for both students and personnel's completed studies.

For the Work-In-Progress Session, Dr. Angelyn C. Dy Tioco, Ms. Marilyn Zamora, and Mr. Cj T. Landicho won Best Research Proposal with their study titled "Reinventing Miracle Fish: Crafting Gourmet Fish Nugget from Nobility to Delicacy".

The Institutional Colloquium (Professional Category) hailed Dr. Ma. Elizabeth C. Medina as the session's Best Presenter with her study titled "Integrated Assessment of English Language Proficiency of Education Students: Basis for the Development of an English Refresher Course" while Dr. Rosalyn Galvez, Ms. Divina Flor Capili, and Mr. Roel Ignacio's "A Tracer Study on the Contributions of Scholarship Programs to the Success and Career Trajectories of Grantees: Insights for Enhancing Program Effectiveness" was recognized as the Best Paper.

The group of Daniel Miguel B. Labordo, Marc Kemiel A. Caliwan, Ashlee Lane T. Enriquez, Akina R. Iijima, Marc Lawrence S. Mariñas, Paolo B. Martin, Benedict Joy D.J. Soriano, Finch Harvey J.

Trillana with their study titled "Effect of Lysophosphatidylcholines and SCH79797 to Decrease the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Oxacillin Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus" won both Best Presenter and Best Paper for the student category.

This initiative not only reinforces the university's commitment to expanding its research capacity, but also empowers students and staff to spotlight their findings.

PUBLICATIONS | LCUP Student innovators Showcase Pride of Bulacan at Bayle Imbentor 2026

Bayle Imbentor 2026 kicks off today, June 1, 2026, at The Pavilion, Hiyas ng Bulacan Convention Center in Malolos, Bulacan. Hosted by Dr. Ria Liza Canlas (Mrs. Universe Philippines–Bulacan) and the Provincial Government, this unique showcase celebrates Bulakenyo ingenuity by gathering local students, visionaries, and PCEDO-supported organizations. The event highlights cutting-edge technologies, inventive products, and competitive "Dance Pitch" presentations aimed at driving provincial innovation both on-stage and through the digital Imbento Masagana platform.

Representing LCUP with immense pride and creativity, CITHM BSHM-4A students Jean Marielle Parro and Aira Kharyll V.

Merging local tradition with modern food innovation, Parro showcased her ingenious "Fishtillas", a high-protein twist on the classic pastillas infused with Miracle Fish achieving the perfect blend of sweet and savory while Canaddu introduced her innovative "Minasa Spread," a clever reimagining of the traditional minasa cookie. Through these market-ready concepts, these exceptional hospitality management students beautifully demonstrated LCUP’s commitment to fostering student-led research, entrepreneurial ingenuity, and deep-rooted cultural pride.

RESEARCH | OVPRI conducts Action Research Writeshop with the Basic Education Department

To cultivate both departmental and university-wide research capacity, the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation conducts a targeted Action Research (AR) Seminar and Writeshop series for the administrators and faculty of the Basic Education Department.

Spanning two intensive sessions on May 11 and June 1, the program aims to bridge the gap between educational theory and real-world classroom solutions.

Today, May 29, 2026, the Consolanian community gathered at the Our Lady of Consolacion Chapel for a simple yet solemn celebration of faith and devotion through the annual Flores de Maria.

Held at 8:00 in the morning, the celebration honored the Blessed Virgin Mary through prayers, hymns, and the traditional flower offering ceremony participated in by faculty, staff, and devotees.

The Holy Mass was celebrated by Father Yovan Koten together with concelebrant Father “Bill” Chatchai Nilkhet. The chapel was filled with a spirit of reverence as members of the community offered flowers before the image of Mary as a symbol of love, gratitude, and devotion.

Flores de Maria has long been part of Filipino Catholic tradition, especially during the month of May, which is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The celebration traces its roots to centuries-old practices of offering flowers and prayers as acts of honor and thanksgiving to Mary. Through the years, it has remained a meaningful expression of faith among Filipino communities, reminding devotees of humility, purity, and unwavering devotion.

Unlike previous years, the celebration did not include a sagala in consideration of the different crises currently being faced by the country. Despite the absence of grand festivities, the event remained deeply meaningful as it centered on solemn veneration and spiritual reflection rather than extravagant celebration.

The simplicity of the gathering highlighted the true essence of Flores de Maria — not the grandeur of the occasion, but the sincere faith and devotion of the people honoring the Blessed Mother. Through quiet prayers and flower offerings, the community reflected on the importance of remaining grounded in faith amid present challenges.

The occasion also coincided with the fifth anniversary of the dedication of the Our Lady of Consolacion Chapel. For five years, the chapel has continued to serve as a sacred space for worship, reflection, and unity within the Consolanian community.

Through today’s Flores de Maria celebration and the chapel’s fifth dedication anniversary, the community was reminded that even in simple and modest observances, faith, hope, and devotion continue to flourish.
