tions (LCF) to bring to UMak
the 2nd Corporate Social Re-
sponsibility (CSR) Institute

In her speech, UMak OIC and concurrent
Vice President for Academic Affairs Da-
lisay Brawner challenged the students to
grasp all the learnings in the CSR lecture.
She added that the activity is helpful in the

tions towards the 2015 ASEAN education

introduced LCF, its principles, mission
and vision, local and international part-
ners, and how it continues to support the
community through the CSR programs of
different companies and organizations.
“With much resources, come great social
responsibility and accountability,” a quote
from Bill Gates, one of the richest men in
the world, was displayed by TeaM Energy
Deputy Executive Director Roderick de
Castro in his presentation as he explained
the basic concepts and principles of CSR.
After imparting their role in CSR, an open
forum was facilitated by de Castro. UMak
students and organization representatives
actively took part in sharing and setting
their role in CSR as young citizens of the
community.
CERIN OIC Wovi Villanueva, in his syn-
thesis, challenged the participants to mani-
fest work excellence while maintaining
compassion in CSR involvement, as more
and more corporations, government and
non-government organizations now con-
sider CSR as part of their mandate. Uni-
versity Secretary Elyxzur Ramos reiterated
the call for CSR involvement and request-
ed LCF to provide a list of partners and
projects where students can actively par-
ticipate and immerse in the joint CSR mis-
sion of UMak and LCF.
