In a move to strengthen its commitment to community engagement and development, the University of Batangas, Lipa City, formally entered into a partnership with the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on May 5, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event, held at Trattoria Caf\u00e9, Building C, was organized through the initiative of the College of Management and Tourism, under the leadership of its Dean, Dr. Irene R. De Villa. This formal agreement signals the beginning of a collaborative relationship aimed at supporting urban communities through joint projects and aligned advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key representatives from both the University and PCUP were present during the ceremony, which included a comprehensive program featuring welcome messages from institutional leaders, the official MOA signing, and an open discussion to exchange perspectives and future plans. The dialogue highlighted the shared goals of the two institutions in promoting inclusive development and addressing the needs of marginalized urban populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The partnership seeks to provide opportunities for academic and field-based collaboration, particularly in the areas of research, training, and extension services. It also opens doors for students and faculty to engage more directly with real-world challenges, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to nation-building efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both parties expressed optimism about the outcomes of this alliance, viewing it as a platform to bridge academic knowledge and public service.
