Social Action Program (SAP) always begins far from the campus quadrangle, and this particular initiative was no exception. The day before the event, the sun rose over the rolling agricultural lands of Barangay Am-am, Sadsadan, Bauko. This is where a dedicated team from the Bachelor of Elementary Education Department (BEED), led by Program Coordinator Delia A. Sumeg-ang, was hard at work. Their mission was hands-on: to personally harvest the abundant crop of cabbage and wombok (Chinese cabbage) straight from the garden.
This crucial step wasn’t just about collecting vegetables; it was a commitment to ensuring every single student received the freshest, highest-quality produce possible, guaranteeing safe transit for the precious cargo. Thanks to the generous coordination of Ms. Melita Gulongan and Ms. Manilyn Benit with the local farmers, and the vital link provided by liaison Marie Catian Polido, the efforts yielded a spectacular result: a total of approximately 1,200 kilograms of fresh vegetables ready for distribution.
The College Quadrangle Comes Alive
On the afternoon of January 29, the atmosphere at the College Quadrangle shifted from academic routine to communal care. Spearheading the entire effort was College President Edgar G. Cue, supported by Chief-of-Staff Reynaldo P. Gayo, Jr. and TED Chairperson Dr. Brent Joseph D. Bangao. Alongside the tireless faculty of the BEED and various MPSPC personnel, they oversaw the final act of this successful community program. One by one, MPSPC students lined up, not for grades or assignments, but for a tangible demonstration of their institution’s care.
The vegetables—the crisp green cabbage and the hearty wombok—were handed out, representing more than just a free meal component; they symbolized the college’s dedication to student welfare and food security under the umbrella of the SAP. President Cue later took the opportunity to express his heartfelt gratitude to every person involved—from the farmers who nurtured the land to the faculty and liaisons who tirelessly bridged the gap between the farm and the students. This vegetable distribution was a powerful testament to how teamwork, community partnerships, and institutional leadership can come together to directly impact the lives of the student body.
