Catajay-Mani, University Directors and Unit heads, Deans and Institute Directors, Program Chairperson, and GCED Faculty and Student advocates from RSU main and satellite campuses, pledged their commitment to promoting global citizenship through education.

Moreover, Hon. Jose R. Riano, Governor of Romblon, and Dr. Bert J. Tuga, President of Philippine Normal University, extend their congratulatory messages via audio-visual presentations.

In her lecture, Dr. Rowena Raton Hibanada, Director of the GCED Cooperation Centre-Philippines, introduced the program’s significance in the Philippine context. She commended RSU and the province of Romblon for being the first entire province in the MIMAROPA region to participate in the GCED initiative.

Also, Prof. Bryan Dayuta, Director of Philippine Normal University – Linkages and International Office, discussed strengthening partnerships for global citizenship through internationalization, while Dr. Rebecca Rosario O.
