ILOILO CITY | October 15, 2026 — West Visayas State University’s College of Information and Communications Technology (WVSU-CICT) and the National Irrigation Administration Regional Office VI (NIA RO VI) completed the second cohort of the Competency Training and Workshop on Computer Literacy (Advanced) on October 14–15, 2026, strengthening government personnel’s digital competencies through practical training in digital productivity tools and artificial intelligence (AI).

Coordinated by Dr. Ralph Voltaire Dayot, Chair of Computer Science Division and Activity Coordinator, the two-day program featured six training modules delivered by WVSU-CICT resource persons, focusing on the application of digital technologies to administrative workflows.

The sessions covered Event Setup, Security and Administrative Base, facilitated by Ms. Tracy Andrea Marie Madresta; Prompt Engineering and AI-Assisted Collaborative Drafting, led by Mr. Jhon Anthony Eleccion; and Visual Design and Media Asset Creation, facilitated by Mr. Vijay Tangub.

On the second day, Ms. Camille Sevillena handled Data Cleaning, AI Formula Generation and Reporting, while Ms. Angelica Grace Simbran facilitated Grounded AI Knowledge Bases and Executive AI Synthesis. The program culminated in Capstone Simulation Ex*****on, facilitated by Dr. Nikie Jo E. Deocampo, where participants integrated their learning into a simulated administrative workflow.

At the conclusion of the training program, faculty members of the College of ICT—Dr. Regin Cabacas, Dr. Cyreneo Dofitas Jr., Mr. Neiljan Raborar, Ms. Janine Defante, and Ms. Keia Joy Armada—were acknowledged for serving as technical facilitators throughout the workshop. Their valuable contributions and technical support helped ensure the smooth and successful implementation of the training sessions.

Implemented as a WVSU-CICT walk-in extension project, with support from the WVSU University Extension and Development Center, the initiative demonstrates the university’s commitment to extending its ICT expertise beyond the campus and addressing the digital capacity-building needs of government agencies.
The initiative contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) through continuing professional learning and digital skills development, and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through university–government collaboration.

On behalf of the College, Dr. Ma. Beth S. Concepcion, Dean of WVSU-CICT, expressed her hope for continued collaboration with NIA Region VI on future digital transformation initiatives. Both institutions aim to sustain capacity-building efforts, explore emerging technologies, and develop further initiatives that support a digitally capable workforce and more efficient, technology-enabled public service.

ILOILO CITY | October 13, 2026 — West Visayas State University (WVSU) and the National Irrigation Administration Regional Office VI (NIA RO VI) have concluded the first cohort of an intensive digital capacity-building program designed to embed data analytics and artificial intelligence into public administration.

The two-day session, held at the NIA Regional Office VI Gymnasium as part of a broader four-day initiative, represents the operational phase of a newly formalized university–government partnership. Managed by WVSU’s College of Information and Communications Technology (WVSU-CICT), the curriculum focuses on transitioning civil service personnel from general digital literacy to advanced AI-assisted workflows.

The final day of training for Batch 1 shifted from foundational concepts to technical ex*****on and scenario-based problem-solving. Delivered by WVSU-CICT academic staff, the sessions targeted essential data management and executive reporting skills:

* Data Cleaning and Automated Logic: Ms. Camille Sevillena facilitated instruction on automating spreadsheet data processing and leveraging AI for formula generation.

* Grounded Knowledge Bases and Executive Synthesis: Ms. Angelica Grace Simbran led two sessions on building secure, agency-specific AI knowledge bases and using generative tools for executive-level synthesis of administrative data.

* Capstone Simulation: Dr. Nikie Jo Deocampo coordinated a final practical exercise in which participants executed real-world administrative tasks using the prompt engineering, data cleaning, and visual design skills acquired across the two days.

During the closing ceremony, representatives from both organizations reflected on the outcomes of the initiative. Participating civil servants noted that the practical modules demystified emerging AI tools and provided immediate solutions for streamlining workplace communications and reporting. Academic facilitators praised the cohort’s technical adaptability during the intensive exercises.

Dr. Ma. Beth S. Concepcion, Dean of WVSU-CICT, put forward a vision for sustained, long-term cooperation between the university and NIA Region VI. She highlighted that initial capacity-building cohorts serve as a foundation for broader technical collaboration, demonstrating how higher education institutions can directly support public sector modernization and sustainable development priorities.

Faculty members of the College of ICT were also acknowledged for serving as technical facilitators, providing hands-on guidance and technical assistance to ensure the smooth conduct of the four-day workshop. The recognized faculty members were Dr. Regin Cabacas, Mr. John Cristopher Mateo, Ms. Melgie Pacardo, Ms. Ericka Alemojane, and Prof. Stephen Alayon. Their contributions helped support the implementation of the training sessions and the participants’ practical learning experiences.

The closing program also featured the awarding of certificates to the resource persons and facilitators in recognition of their contributions.

Implemented as a WVSU-CICT walk-in extension project with support from the WVSU University Extension and Development Center, the initiative contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) through continuing skills development and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) through university–government collaboration.

Building on this initiative, WVSU-CICT and NIA Region VI aim to sustain their partnership through future digital literacy and digital transformation programs, ensuring that the knowledge and competencies developed through the training translate into continuing improvements in public sector practices.
