MSU Sustainable Community Development Community Development Department, College of Public Affairs, Mindanao State University - Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Philippines

Community Development Department was the only academic program of the College of Community Development and Public Administration (CDPA), one of the pioneering colleges of the Mindanao State University in Marawi City when it opened classes in 1962. Through this academic program, the college was able to establish linkages with other institutions and engaged in several tie-up programs in Community De

velopment. The introduction of new academic programs in Public Administration and Social Work in the 70โ€™s and 80โ€™s respectively, gave way to the creation of separate departments and eventually renaming of the college into the present College of Public Affairs (CPA). Thus, in 1981, together with the department of Public Administration and the department of Social Work, Community Development was reborn as a Department. Since then, the department has continuously upgraded its curricula, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and produced students who are presently occupying positions in both government agencies (GAs) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) engaged in community development work, either in Administration, Field Work or Teaching. The department has likewise continued to reach out to LGUs, GAs, and NGOs through research and extension activities in the field of Community Development Planning and Administration, Community Research, Community Organizing, Mobilization and Organizational Development, Cooperatives, Trainings, and Project Development and Management. These activities are made possible through its practicum classes or through faculty โ€“ initiated tie-up programs with said institutions.

โ€œPracticum Goes Beyond Minimum Complianceโ€

The true essence of practicum is not merely complying academic requirements but it is about creating meaningful and lasting change in communities.

We proudly recognize two Bachelor of Science in Community Development practicum students assigned in Tangub City who demonstrated exceptional commitment to community empowerment and sustainable development.

โœจ Ms. Hazzel Tubiano Mondonedo facilitated the implementation of the Barangay San Antonio Womenโ€™s Associationโ€™s hog-raising project by successfully mobilizing funding from the Barangayโ€™s GAD Fund amounting to 15,000 pesos. She facilitated capacity-building training on hog raising and facilitated the procurement of three piglets for the project. Going beyond her course requirements, she also assisted the association in preparing and submitting a โ‚ฑ300,000 pesos project proposal to DOLE for project expansion. On June 11, 2026, the association officially received its approved project from DOLE. The implementation of the project is a remarkable milestone for the organization and the community.

โœจ Mr. Johar P. Mesug likewise demonstrated outstanding initiative by facilitating the implementation of the Coco Sugar Production Project of the Barangay Paiton Out-of-School Youth Organization. Recognizing the potential for growth and sustainability, he further assisted the organization in developing and submitting a project proposal to DOLE for a Frozen Products and Convenience Store Enterprise amounting to 250,000 pesos which the organization had received it on June 11, 2026.

These achievements exemplify what it means to be genuine change agentsโ€”individuals who not only identify community needs but also mobilize resources, build partnerships, and empower people toward self-reliance and development.

Your dedication, passion, and commitment to community transformation embody the ideals of Community Development. We are proud of your accomplishments and the positive impact you have created in the communities you serve.
