On August 18, 2025, Bicol University (BU), in partnership with Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU), held a benchmarking activity to strengthen their Income Generating Projects (IGPs).

The activity featured discussions on sustainable practices and technology-driven innovations to boost the long-term impact of IGPs, followed by a tour of agricultural projects that gave participants a hands-on view of ongoing initiatives.

The event was graced by Dr. Anita G. David (University President), who gave the Inspirational Message, and Dr. Lyndon G. Solis (Vice President for Planning and Resource Generation), who delivered the Opening Remarks.

This activity was made possible through PSAU’s Office of Business, led by Dr. Al R. Muñoz (Director for Business Affairs) and Ms. Mara Shyn M. Valdeabella (Asst. Director for Business Affairs), together with BU’s Business Affairs Office under Dr. Rosebe Nacion-Lauraya, MD (Director for Business Affairs).

This initiative supports SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth by promoting inclusive work opportunities through income-generating activities, and SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by advancing technology-driven enterprise growth and resilience.
