The VEST Initiative

Yesterday, June 14, 2023, the NSTP-CWTS student-trainees from BSCE-1B and 1C have successfully turned over the copy of "The Vital Equipment for Survival and Typhoon Initiative (The V.E.S.T Initiative)" Terminal Report to the Barangay Council of Pajo San Isidro, Virac, Catanduanes as their beneficiary as well as to the Office of the Governor as one of their cooperating partners.

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST. Witness the NSTP Class of BSCE 1B and 1C together with their collaborating colleges conducting their community exit last June 10, 2023 at Pajo San Isidro, Virac, Catanduanes.

The NSTP student-trainees would like to thank the Barangay Captain of Pajo San Isidro, Hon. Jessie S. Talan; and to the School Principal, Ms. Rita Soriao for their heartwarming messages.

As the community exit comes to its end, the NSTP student-trainees together with the barangay officials and teachers of Pajo Elementary School signed the Symbolic Promise of Sustainability committing themselves and accepting the responsibility on the sustainability of their projects and future endeavors.

The blood, sweat and tears of student-trainees from BSCE, RLBSIT, BS Agri-Fisheries, and BSEd-English had been paid off.

Yesterday, the BSCE 1B and 1C have implemented their project titled, "The Vital Equipment for Survival and Typhoon Initiative" or also known as "The V.E.S.T. Initiative" at Pajo San Isidro Virac, Catanduanes.

We appreciate every little thing that you've done because we couldn't have made this implementation as successful as this without the help from everyone of you.

As our quotation says, we can't help everyone but everyone can help someone. A big thanks and a round of applause to all of us.

We, the CWTS student trainees of CatSU NSTP would like to express our full gratitude to Governor Joseph C. Cua by donating an amount of ₱10,000.00 for our immersion project titled, "The Vital Equipment for Survival and Typhoon Initiative (The V.E.S.T. Initiative)."

Just about yesterday (May 29, 2023), our Class President, Mr. Mark Henry R. Aldea and Treasurer, Ms. Jean Tusi together with our Faculty-trainer, Mr. Mark Kenneth T. Miguel went to the Office of the Governor to receive the donation from the Executive Secretary, Mrs. Mary Joy Balbin-Subion.

Our project aims to provide survival kits and equipment which can help in promoting disaster preparedness of our beneficiaries from Barangay Pajo San Isidro. This can also encourage the youth to know and understand the importance of disaster risk reduction and preparedness to be able to overcome natural calamities, especially typhoon and flashfloods, in a way that human life and other properties will not be risked.

Again, thank you so much for this donation. We are now one step closer in achieving this project.
