The University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental (USTP Jasaan) conducted an integrated student awareness symposium on October 28, 2026, focusing on drug prevention, Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC), safe spaces, and sexual harassment. The activity aimed to equip students with knowledge of responsible decision-making, awareness of harmful behaviors, and understanding of their rights and responsibilities in promoting a safe and respectful community.
The symposium featured two sessions. The first, titled “Drug Awareness and Prevention: Making Safe and Responsible Choices,” was facilitated by PSSG Lehzen Quessa P. Racho, who discussed the risks associated with drug use and the importance of making informed decisions to protect personal well-being and future opportunities.
The second session, “VAWC, Sexual Harassment and Safe Spaces: Know Your Rights,” was facilitated by PSSG Roxanne Melody V. Camarillo. The discussion focused on recognizing abusive and harmful behaviors, understanding individual rights, and promoting respect and safety within the community. It also emphasized the importance of recognizing boundary violations and knowing where to seek help and appropriate intervention.
The initiative was organized through the collaboration of the National Service Training Program (NSTP), the Guidance and Student Welfare Service Unit (GSWSU), and the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), reflecting USTP Jasaan’s commitment to student welfare, protection, and awareness.
Through this activity, USTP Jasaan reinforces the importance of informed decision-making, mutual respect, and collective responsibility in preventing harmful behaviors and fostering a safer and more inclusive campus community.
