BSUstainable Photography Contest 2024 โ€“ Congratulations to the Winners!


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 treesโ€“which paints the BSU landscape green or โ€˜luntianโ€™–is able to exemplify the universityโ€™s efforts to live by the fifteenth SDG.

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.

#SDG15 #capturesustainability #BSUstainable

As you walk across campus to get to your designated colleges, you see that the pathways are lined with flowers and greenery. Of different kinds and colors, it’s one of the beauties of B.S.U. that does not get enough appreciation. The small buzzing bees of our beloved school fly around these plants every day, humbly helping us in major ways. Bees are key pollinators for many crops, essential in keeping the life on our lands. Thanks to these unsung heroes, they help ensure a healthier environment for each and every learner at Benguet State University.

The Photo may just be simply taken but it relates to one of the sustainable development goals. The photo mainly relates to goal 15 which is life on land. Most usually it is related to living beings on land such as animals and humans. However in the photo there no humans or animals but instead plants and trees. Life on land does not only pertain to Animals at also pertain to any form of living things hence the photo being all plants and tree. The photo may be also under goal 13 which is Climate action but the photo is chosen to represent an Aspect of “Life on Land” that the BSU has.

#SDG16 #capturesustainability #BSUstainable

Supporting over competing; equality over inequality. Truly, that with the right people and a learning environment where everyone is given the opportunity to learn and grow can we achieve quality education. As the SDG 4 advocates for inclusive and equitable quality education for all, we too deserve this kind of education.

#SDG4 #capturesustainability #BSUstainable

Recycling is one of the most well-known practices to promote sustainability. It helps reduce waste and protect the environment by conserving resources while minimizing pollution. By recycling, we can use materials wisely and keep the campus cleaner.

The twilight scene over a densely built relates to sustainable urban development; At the BSU campus, this might look like buildings powered by renewable energy and state-of-the-art green infrastructure that support a more inclusive public realm. A campus that serves as a living model of sustainable and resilient community, mindful of the scarcity of land, must provide safe and affordable housing for both students and staff alongside access to green areas. It promotes better all-round health, and inclusivity for everybody.

#SDG11 #capturesustainability #BSUstainable

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.

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.

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 ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜ญ., 2007). It can tolerate a certain degree of urbanization, provided the water remains clean.

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 paggawaโ€”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.

April 3, 2025La Trinidad, Benguet โ€“ Benguet State University (BSU) and the United States Peace Corps are working to revive their partnership, setting the stage for Peace Corps Volunteers to return and support BSUโ€™s elementary and secondary schools. This renewed collaboration aims to strengthen quality education (SDG 4), global partnerships (SDG 17), and community development.

Jessica Sucgang, Program Manager of Peace Corps Philippines – Education Sector, expressed optimism, stating, โ€œWe are looking forward to sending volunteers again to BSU.โ€ She was joined by education volunteers Edward Foran and Maizie Anders in discussions with BSUโ€™s International Relations Office (IRO) and the College of Teacher Education (CTE) on potential areas of collaboration, particularly in teacher training, English language education, and student development.

To assess BSUโ€™s readiness to host volunteers, the team visited the Secondary and Elementary Laboratory Schools and discussed plans to conduct an orientation session for CTE faculty. Before the meeting, they paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the University President, where Atty. Andres Arnold W. Lampacan, Finance Division Chief and Officer-in-Charge for the day, warmly welcomed them.

Established in 1961, Peace Corps Philippines is the agencyโ€™s second-oldest program, with volunteers making lasting contributions to education, youth development, and coastal resource management. Through this partnership renewal, BSU reaffirms its commitment to enhancing education quality, fostering global cooperation, and promoting inclusive learning opportunities. The return of Peace Corps Volunteers is expected to empower local educators, enrich student learning, and strengthen international collaboration at BSU. //DIAllasiw
