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.

Entry #15: Breathe by Basilio Empizo Palasi

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. This order/practice is very important as it aligns with the 4 SDGs, namely: SDG 3, 11, 13, and 15. Students and employees in the university are obliged to comply with the order as it helps to reduce the carbon dioxide emission from cars which causes health problems to the community. In addition, doing this simple practice makes our environment become sustainable which is also a big help in contributing to the climate action. Moreover, air pollution and traffic would be minimized at least once in a while to let the roads and parking areas breathe from the everyday parking of cars. Hence, Carless Thursday has a great impact on the existence and survival of our community in the future. WE EXIST. WE SUSTAIN. WE SURVIVE.

Entry #18: Pitching for health: Baseball as a way for wellness by Wev Ivy L. Fangsilat

Under the cloudy skies of La Trinidad, I was drawn by the loud screams of a group of friends that were practicing baseball in the greeny fields of Benguet State University. Witnessing the passion, energy, and seriousness of this one person towards baseball made me want to capture this photo. This photo depicts SDG no. 3, which possess good health and well-being. Playing baseball or playing a sport can make your health in better condition since you exercise and do training. Also, it can be a temporary escape from hindrances for your well-being.

Entry #22: Basta Magkakasama tayo ha? by Mark Joseph M. Piloneo

After a long, tiring day, we still find time to laugh. After long hours of studying, there’s still a smile on our faces.

The university promotes an environment where mental, emotional, and physical health matters. This makes sure that even in the busiest and hardest moments, we find joy and support from each other.

It’s because BSU CARES!

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.

Entry #24: Sipag at Ngiti: Kuwento ng Pagpupunyagi by Antonina Angela P. Sta Ana

Sa gitna ng init ng araw at abalang kalsada, si ate ay patuloy na naglalako ng kakanin, dala ang isang ngiti na tila walang kapantay. Ang larawan ng kanyang pagtitiyaga ay hindi lamang kwento ng simpleng pagtatrabaho, kundi ng pag-asa para sa disenteng kabuhayan. 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. Ang kanyang kwento ay sumasalamin sa mga adhikain ng Benguet State University, na patuloy na sumusuporta sa pagtataguyod ng mga komunidad sa pamamagitan ng edukasyon at serbisyo. Sa kabila ng hirap, ipinapakita ni ate na ang sipag at tiwala sa sarili ay susi sa mas maunlad na bukas, isang pamana ng BSU sa paglilingkod sa lipunan.
