October 24, 2024Entry #1: Luntian by Lyan J. Grad

Tucked in abundantly viridian land, it is inevitable that BSU highlights the sustainability effort of promoting a wholesome life on land which is the essence of SDG 15. The campus utilizes its vast land area to foster a rich variety of tree species that tower the colleges, providing a cleaner breeze that is in contrast to the polluted urban area beyond where adverse products of traffic are present. Thus, the omnipresence of trees–which paints the BSU landscape green or ‘luntian’–is able to exemplify the university’s efforts to live by the fifteenth SDG.

Entry #2: Small LIFE by Rimei Jay M. Garcia

The picture depicts the leaf-footed bug, or Leptoglossus phyllopus. Even while little insects are occasionally mistakenly classified as pests or unusable in daily life, Not all insects are pests. They pollinate many of our fruits, flowers, and vegetables. We wouldn’t have as much of the produce that we adore and rely on if insects hadn’t pollinated it. Like dogs, cats, elephants, and other creatures, insects also have the life on land. For this reason, BSU works to preserve, restore, and encourage the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems through efforts that avoid biodiversity loss.

Pursuant to the Executive Order 05-2018, the municipality of La Trinidad including the Benguet State University, is mandated to practice the observance of monthly Carless Thursday, which started on September 05, 2024.

Entry #23: I can see it with my eyes something blue! Alcedo atthis bengalensis Gmelin, 1788 by Jannesse C. Pacio

The Eurasian or River kingfisher is an important member of ecosystem and good indicator of freshwater community health. The highest densities of breeding birds are found in habitats with clear water, which permits optimal prey visibility, and trees or shrubs on the banks. These habitats have also the highest quality of water, so the presence of this bird confirms the standard of the water (Peris & Rodriguez, 1996). Measures to improve water flow can disrupt this habitat, and in particular, the replacement of natural banks by artificial confinement greatly reduces the populations of fish, amphibians and aquatic reptiles, and waterside birds are lost (Lin 𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘭., 2007). It can tolerate a certain degree of urbanization, provided the water remains clean.

Isinasalaysay ng kanyang ngiti ang kahalagahan ng dignidad sa paggawa—isang panawagan ng Sustainable Development Goal 8, na nagsusulong ng disenteng trabaho at paglago ng ekonomiya.

As part of an ongoing partnership with the University of Guam (UoG), faculty members from BSU were invited to speak at a research symposium on Indigenous Health Practices of the Cordillera and the Pacific. The team includes Stanley F. Anongos, Gigy G. Banes, Ruth S. Batani, Karryl Mae C. Ngina, and Tecah C. Sagandoy from the College of Social Sciences, along with Estrelle M. Daclan, head of Gender and Development. The exchange provided unique opportunity to forge lasting connections and partnerships aside from exploring the intricate tapestry of indigenous healing modalities.

Since 2018, BSU through the College of Social Sciences (CSS) and Institute of Social Research and Development (ISRD) together with the Gender and Development Office (GAD) and International Relations Office (IRO) and University of Guam (UOG) have maintained a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on issues related to Indigenous health, gender, history, and culture.

The team met with the President and Senior Vice President and deans of the University of Guam to explore opportunities for further collaboration. They were also introduced to the University’s “Sharing Island Wisdom” program, specifically the project on Reviving Traditional Navigation project.

Already on it’s 7th year, the faculty-student program facilitated BSU’s hosting of UoG’s visits in 2018 and 2023 respectively, while UoG funded and hosted this recent visit and a previous visit back in 2019. This program was initiated by Liza Linda Natividad of UoG under the Department of Social Work and CHamoru Studies and Gigy Banes of the College of Social Sciences, BSU. The partnership was first conceptualized by Gigy and Lisa during their participation in the Global Leadership School (GLS) of the Foro Internacional de Mujeres Indigenas- International Indigenous Women’s Forum (FIMI-IIWF) in New York City on April 2018.
