The participation of ISUFST in this regional congress underscores the institution’s active role in advancing hospitality education, fostering collaboration, and preparing future hospitality professionals for the evolving demands of the industry.
FLAVORS OF EXCELLENCE: CHM Culinary Team Places Fourth in COHREP Iron Chef’s Showdown
The Culinary Team of the College of Hospitality Management (CHM) proudly secured a 4th place finish in the Iron Chefs Category during the recently concluded 5th COHREP Western Visayas Regional Skills Olympics held on March 28, 2026, at the Fountain Area of Robinsons Place, Iloilo. The competition brought together talented student chefs from various institutions across the region, showcasing creativity, technical skills, and the rich culinary heritage of Western Visayas. Representing the campus in this prestigious culinary showdown were three promising student chefs: Denmark J. Quinoveva and Rhozen O. Etino, both BSHM II students, and Christ John M. Arabit, a BSHM I student, who demonstrated remarkable teamwork and innovation in the kitchen.
For the appetizer round, Quinoveva impressed the judges with Umami Rolls, a classic Ilonggo-inspired lumpia crafted from fresh Visayan shrimp blended with pork fat and finely chopped jolly mushrooms. Wrapped in thin rice paper and deep-fried to perfection, the dish featured a crisp exterior and a succulent, flavorful filling, complemented by tangy pickled onions that balanced richness with acidity. Meanwhile, Etino elevated the main course with Darag Royale in Coconut Embrace, a refined dish highlighting premium Darag chicken stuffed with malunggay and native chili leaves. Baked to tenderness and finished with a velvety coconut milk and coconut cream reduction, the dish was served with sautéed green papaya and bell peppers, alongside dehydrated organic black rice that added texture and a subtle nutty finish.
Completing the team’s culinary presentation, Arabit prepared the dessert KBL Hopia de Oro, a modern Filipino creation inspired by the Ilonggo flavors of Kadyos, Baboy, and Langka (KBL). The golden-baked hopia featured a filling of steamed kadyos and caramelized langka, elegantly plated over caramelized batwan and finished with a silky coconut reduction. The team’s achievement highlights the growing excellence of CHM students in culinary innovation, as they skillfully blended heritage ingredients with modern techniques. Their performance not only showcased the university’s commitment to developing future culinary professionals but also celebrated the richness of local flavors on a regional stage.

ISUFSTian Gerobe Arce: Small Stature, Big Drive on a Trike
There are stories that arrive quietly, without drumrolls or headlines, and yet linger longer than the loudest victories. Gerobe Arce’s story is one of them. You might first notice him not for the engine he is fixing or the class he is answering in, but for how the world initially sees him—shorter, different. But stay long enough, and what you will remember is not his height. It is his drive. It is the rhythm of a life that refuses to be measured by what is lacking, but instead by what keeps moving forward.
Gerobe, 24, grew up between Tuburan, Pototan and Buyu-an, Tigbauan, in a life he casually calls “normal”—easygoing, carefree, the kind of childhood that did not feel like it needed a narrative. But somewhere in that simplicity was a quiet inheritance: a father who modeled self-love not through speeches but through living, and a family that never treated limitation as identity. “I was born confident,” he says, almost as if it were the most ordinary thing in the world.
He knew early on that he was physically different. But in his telling, that difference never stretched beyond the surface. “Physically only,” he says. Everything else—his curiosity, his humor, his will—remained intact. That clarity shaped how he entered school, how he faced stares, and how he refused to let curiosity about him define him. He had already decided: he would define himself.
A LIFE IN MOTION
Long before he entered the Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (ISUFST), Gerobe already knew what he wanted. Machines fascinated him. Engines, in particular, spoke a language he wanted to master. “Even before elementary, I knew I wanted automobiles,” he recalls. It was not just about fixing things. It was about understanding how they worked—how parts moved together to create something bigger than themselves.
That same philosophy quietly shaped his own life. Because while most students measure their days in lectures and deadlines, Gerobe measures his in kilometers.
He drives a tricycle.
Not occasionally. Not as a side story. But as part of the everyday rhythm that sustains his education. Born into financial constraints, he watched his father move from one job to another, often behind the wheel. So when his turn came, he did not hesitate. “I think of finishing my studies through my own sweat and blood,” he says, without drama, just truth.
A typical day for him is not something easily romanticized. It is early mornings, long routes, passengers who come and go, then classes, then studying, then sometimes laughter with friends squeezed in between.
And lately, the road has become even more demanding. With fuel prices rising, every trip carries a heavier weight—not just for passengers, but for him as both driver and student. What others experience as inconvenience, he feels as daily calculation. Still, he manages. He times his trips before and after classes, squeezes in study hours between shifts, and learns to stretch both time and earnings. Some days begin before sunrise, with a few early passengers before his first class. On lighter afternoons, he returns to the road, then studies at night—sometimes in between trips, sometimes long after the last passenger has gone home.
It is not perfect. It is not easy. But it works—because it has to.
It is the kind of life that would exhaust many. But Gerobe does not describe it that way. “It’s extraordinarily fun,” he says, smiling through the grind.
There is something disarming about that answer. In a culture that often celebrates struggle only when it looks painful, Gerobe quietly disrupts the script. For him, hardship is not always heavy. Sometimes, it is simply part of the journey—something you carry without complaint because you know where you are headed.
NO ROOM FOR QUITTING
Gerobe does not even pause when asked if he ever thought of quitting. The answer is simple—and striking in its certainty: he never did. Not once. “It was never considered,” he says. No dramatic breakdown, no near exit—just a quiet, stubborn choice to keep going, no matter what.
It is not because life was easy. It is because his mindset was already set. He was, in his own words, “driven.” And that word, repeated across his story, becomes its quiet anchor.
At ISUFST, he found a space that did not reduce him to his differences. There were moments of curiosity, of course—people who stared, people who wondered. But beyond that, he found something more important: normalcy. Belonging. “I just don’t mind,” he says. What stayed with him more were the teachers who encouraged him, classmates who listened, and a community that let him grow without needing to explain himself.
It is the kind of environment the university continues to build under the leadership of ISUFST President Dr. Nordy Siason Jr.—one that does not merely accommodate differences, but recognizes them as part of a larger vision of inclusive, empowering education. In Gerobe’s case, inclusion is not a policy. It is something lived, quietly, every day.
In fact, one of the moments he cherishes most is simple: speaking in class and being heard. “When I speak and everyone listens,” he shares. In that moment, the labels fall away. He is not the “PWD student.” He is simply a student—with ideas, with a voice, with presence.
That is what inclusive education looks like—not grand statements, but everyday spaces where dignity is ordinary.
THE MEASURE OF A MAN
Gerobe’s academic journey is not just about finishing. It is about finishing well. He wants to graduate with Latin honors—not “para magpasikat,” not for recognition, but for something closer to the heart. For pride. Not just his, but his family’s—the same people who never questioned his potential even when life was not easy.
“My teachers are my motivators,” he says, giving credit without hesitation. At ISUFST, where education is meant to empower, his story becomes a reminder that success is not just about skills—it is about who you become along the way.
The university’s values are not just slogans to him. They show in how he lives. Integrity in earning honestly. Discipline in showing up every day. Social justice in proving that education should be within reach. And excellence—not about being perfect, but about being consistent.
Driving a tricycle taught him things school cannot. “I learned the value of every peso,” he says. Each fare is effort. Each earning is responsibility. Walang sayang.
For now, he is at F&E Automotive Division in Mandurriao, Iloilo City, learning not just how engines work, but how a future begins. It is one step in a journey still taking shape. He hopes to stay on after graduation, but he also trusts the road ahead. One day, he dreams of a talyer he can call his own—built from the same grit that brought him this far. There is also the possibility of working abroad. Nothing is fixed yet. Like the engines he studies, his life is still in motion—still being assembled, still becoming.
So when he talks about his dreams, simple lang. A happy home. A comfortable life. Hindi magarbo, but real.
DRIVEN BEYOND LIMITS
On March 11, 2026, at the ISUFST TechnoHub, Gerobe stood in front of the Filipino and Korean Rotarians and ISUFST officials—not as “the tricycle driver,” not just as “the student,” but as someone representing many. He delivered a testimony during the Global Grant turnover of ₱1.89 million worth of equipment.
“Because of these tools, we are more confident that our practical training will prepare us for real work, business, and professional life,” he said, shifting seamlessly from Hiligaynon to English, and closing with a heartfelt “Kamsahamnida”—a quiet but powerful thank you that carried both gratitude and hope.
That moment was bigger than him. He became the link between those who gave and those who will benefit.
Aligned with SDG 4, 8, and 17, the project supports education and opportunity. But beyond that, it is stories like his that make everything feel real. It is students like Gerobe who give those numbers meaning.
Because what good are tools if there are no hands willing to use them? What good are opportunities if there is no one determined enough to take them?
Gerobe answers those questions not with words, but with a life lived in motion.
There is a tendency to tell stories like his in a certain way—to frame them as extraordinary because of difficulty. But perhaps the more honest way to tell it is this: Gerobe Arce is not inspiring because he is a person of short stature who succeeded. He is inspiring because he refused to see himself as anything less.
His definition of success is simple: perseverance. “If you have a goal, strive hard to reach it,” he says. Ability, strength, success—these, for him, are not separate ideas. They come together, built over time, shaped by effort.
And maybe that is the quiet lesson his story leaves behind. Not all victories are loud. Some are steady. Some are built in early mornings, long rides, and classrooms where a voice finally finds space.
Years from now, when someone tells the story of Gerobe Arce, he hopes to be remembered for his faith and for inspiring others to persevere. But even now, without waiting for that future, his life is already doing exactly that.
Not by asking for attention.
But by moving forward—one determined step, one long ride, one honest day at a time. (Herman Lagon | PAMMCO)
Rotary PH–Korea Partnership Delivers ₱1.89M Training Equipment to ISUFST
“Because of these tools, we are more confident that our practical training will prepare us for real work, business, and professional life.” With those words of gratitude, Jerobe Arce, a fourth-year PWD automotive student of the College of Industrial Technology (CIT) at the Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (ISUFST), capped the successful turnover ceremony of electrical and electronics equipment worth ₱1.89 million donated through a Rotary Global Grant this Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at the ISUFST TechnoHub, Main Campus–Poblacion Site in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo.
Arce, who is currently completing his internship at F&E Enterprises in Iloilo City, thanked the Rotary Club of Namweon Central in South Korea (District 3670) and the Rotary Club of Iloilo (District 3850) for continuing to invest in the skills development of ISUFST students. “These equipment, machinery, and tools will ensure that our training becomes more complete and more relevant to the industries we hope to serve,” Arce said in a mix of Hiligaynon, English, and Korean, ending his testimony with a heartfelt “Kamsahamnida” to the visiting Korean Rotarians.
The ceremony marked the formal turnover of equipment under the Rotary Global Grant GG2682848 for the project POWER UP: Project for Optimized Workforce-Readiness Through Equipment and Resource Upgrade for Professional Certification.
Strengthening workforce readiness.
The grant will support the university’s Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT/BIndTech) program by upgrading laboratories used for Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) and Electronic Products Assembly and Servicing (EPAS) training. The new equipment includes electrical installation trainers, digital multimeters, soldering stations, function generators, solar power training systems, electronic servicing tools, electronic appliances, and industrial control components aligned with TESDA certification standards.
The upgrades are expected to benefit more than 450 students and community learners each year, many of whom come from farming, fishing, and other low-income households in nearby municipalities. ISUFST President Dr. Nordy Siason Jr. said the project strengthens the university’s mission to produce graduates ready for real-world work environments.
“Projects like POWER UP ensure that our students train with tools that mirror actual industry standards. This is not only about equipment—it is about building confidence and competence among our learners,” Siason said.
International partnership for education
The project highlights the growing collaboration between ISUFST and Rotary partners in the Philippines and South Korea. RC Namweon Central President Changhun Lee thanked the university and its Rotary partners for the warm reception. After the ceremony, the Rotarians toured the CIT laboratories to see the new facilities. For Rotary Club of Iloilo President Dr. Lucio Encio, the project shows the power of partnerships. “Supporting education and skills training helps communities grow and gives young people real opportunities,” he said.
A growing partnership
According to Dr. Herman Lagon, Rotary Global Grant project head and ISUFST director, the initiative builds on the growing collaboration between the university and Rotary partners. “This project shows how global partnerships can empower local communities through education and skills development. With modern training facilities, our students will have stronger pathways to employment and entrepreneurship,” Lagon said.
Strengthening CIT training capacity
For the College of Industrial Technology, the equipment significantly enhances the university’s capacity to deliver industry-relevant technical education.
CIT Dean Dr. Rodel Dosano noted that the upgraded laboratories will help ensure that students receive training aligned with current technological standards.
“These facilities allow us to provide deeper hands-on learning. Our students will now train using tools and systems that reflect the realities of modern electrical and electronics industries,” Dosano said.
Ceremony highlights.
The program began with the welcoming of guests—upon arrival by the CIT and College of Management students and in the function hall by the ISUFST KI-AY Dance Group and faculty singers. This was followed by the opening ceremony which singing of the Korean National Anthem, Philippine National Anthem, ISUFST Hymn, and Rotary Hymn, as well as the Recitation of the Rotary Four-Way Test. Dr. Siason delivered the welcome remarks, while Dr. Lagon presented the significance of the partnership and turnover.
The ceremony proceeded with the signing of the Deed of Donation by representatives of ISUFST, the Rotary Club of Iloilo, and the Rotary Club of Namweon Central, followed by the marker unveiling and ribbon-cutting rites at the new CIT building, the giving of plaques and tokens, and the student testimony by Arce.
The event concluded with closing remarks from Dr. Dosano and a fellowship gathering and thanksgiving lunch at the TechnoHub, featuring a cultural presentation by ISUFST performers.
Continuing collaboration
The POWER UP project follows the successful implementation of a ₱1.89-million Rotary grant in 2025 that upgraded the university’s automotive laboratory under the Automotive Industry Modernization in Iloilo (AIM Iloilo) initiative.
With the addition of the new grant, ISUFST aims to further strengthen its role as a regional hub for technical-vocational education and workforce development in northern Iloilo, supporting both student training and community-based skills development.

San Enrique Educators Take PFA Oath in STEP UP Phase 2 Training
SAN ENRIQUE, ILOILO—Thirty-two guidance designates, teachers, and community wellness advocates of San Enrique capped the two-day STEP UP Phase 2–Module 3: Emotional Support & Psychological First Aid (PFA) seminar-workshop with a collective oath of commitment on February 27 at the Tourism Hall, Poblacion.
“I commit to recognize early signs of emotional distress and crisis in learners responding with calmness, sensitivity, and discernment.” The line, drawn from The STEP UP San Enrique Pledge 2, set the tone for the two-day training that would move participants from awareness to structured action.
The activity, conducted under the ISUFST–WVSU–LGU San Enrique partnership, trained participants to recognize emotional distress and crisis indicators, apply the WHO-aligned Look–Listen–Link model, provide immediate non-clinical support, and strengthen school referral systems, documentation, and confidentiality practices.
The two-year, 6-phase, 9-module STEP UP extension program, led by Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology (ISUFST), is made possible through the strong institutional backing of ISUFST President Dr. Nordy Siason Jr., West Visayas State University (WVSU) President Dr. Joselito Villaruz, and San Enrique Mayor Gian Carlo Niño Fernandez. The initiative is financed by the LGU of San Enrique through a municipal resolution enacted by the Sangguniang Bayan, affirming the town’s long-term investment in learner well-being. On behalf of Mayor Fernandez, the program is closely overseen by Dr. JJ Patubo with the assistance of DepEd wellness advocate Charmagne Paniza, who help ensure that the training translates into sustained school-level action.
Day 1 (Feb. 26) focused on first-response readiness. After an opening prayer and Phase 1 recap led by Mrs. Edeline Joy Acosta, participants began with an interactive “Signals of Stress” energizer facilitated by Dr. Herman Lagon, RGC, the STEP UP Extension Program Leader. The morning then moved to “Understanding Distress and Crisis Indicators,” delivered by Mrs. Junna Mari Pacardo, RGC, with case vignettes, helping participants name red flags and distinguish ordinary stress from warning signs that require immediate support or referral.
Dr. Lagon later delivered the Introduction to Psychological First Aid (Look–Listen–Link) through a guided lecture and demonstration, then led the PFA Skills Lab on “Look and Listen” using role-play scenarios that allowed participants to practice calming presence, active listening, and initial stabilization in school-based situations.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Pacardo facilitated a working-break workshop on Ethical Boundaries and Confidentiality, using case analysis to help guidance advocates clarify scope, privacy, and responsible decision-making. The day ended with a synthesis circle, “What Does Help Look Like?” led by Dr. Lagon, integrating lessons into practical first-response mindsets.
Day 2 (Feb. 27) shifted from skills to systems. Participant volunteers led the day’s prayer and recap, followed by a quick drill energizer, “Look–Listen–Link in Action,” facilitated by Dr. Lagon, to refresh coordination before referral planning.
WVSU speakers facilitated the core mid-morning sessions. Dr. Hilda Montaño, RGC, led the PFA Skills Lab on “Link” (Referral Pathways) through scenario-based group work that guided participants in choosing correct next steps for different levels of risk. Mrs. Gift Tragico, RGC, then handled Safety Planning Basics, walking participants through a template exercise that translated concern into concrete safety steps. Such was discussed further after lunch.
Later in the afternoon, the training then proceeded to Mapping the Local Referral Network, where participants drafted their localized referral directory anchored on existing municipal services and school protocols. Ms. Jennet Pajura, RGC, later led Documentation and Incident Reporting through hands-on form completion, emphasizing proper incident logs and responsible reporting. WVSU’s Prof. Jan Iris Fae Basbas, RGC, also served as one of the facilitators in the process.
All volunteer guidance counselors from ISUFST and WVSU then guided the working-break workshop on School-Based PFA Action Planning, followed by group presentations and peer feedback—ensuring outputs were school-ready, realistic, and aligned with ethics and confidentiality.
The two-day, phase 2, module 3 training concluded with the recitation and signing of “The STEP UP San Enrique Pledge 2,” where participants committed to early recognition of distress, faithful practice of Look–Listen–Link, ethical documentation, proper referral, advocacy for safer guidance spaces, continued learning, and self-care as helpers.
“I pledge to step up with empathy. I pledge to step up with integrity. I pledge to step up with courage and care,” the participants affirmed—marking the transition from training to shared responsibility for learner well-being in San Enrique schools.
With Phase 2 completed, ISUFST’S STEP UP initiative moves forward to Phase 3 on June 25–26, 2026, at the Tourism Hall in San Enrique. The next module will focus on Career Planning and Bullying Prevention—continuing the shared mission of helping learners find direction while protecting their dignity in safer school spaces. (PAMMCO)
