𝗔 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣! 🚨

Si 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻, isang 2nd Year CE student, ay kasalukuyang humihingi ng tulong at dasal para sa kanyang ama.

Madaling araw ngayong Linggo (March 29, 2026), habang nasa labas ang kanyang ama, siya ay bigla na lamang inatake ng ilang kalalakihan at malubhang hinampas sa ulo gamit ang tubo kahit wala siyang kalaban-laban.

Sa ngayon, nasa kritikal na kondisyon ang kanyang ama at nangangailangan ng agarang operasyon upang mailigtas ang kanyang buhay. Kinakailangan nilang makalikom ng humigit-kumulang ₱𝟭𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬.𝟬𝟬 para sa operasyon at iba pang gastusin sa ospital. Sa biglaang insidenteng ito, hindi sapat ang kanilang kakayahang pinansyal upang matustusan ang nasabing halaga.

Sa mga may mabubuting puso, kami po ay kumakatok sa inyo. Anumang halaga—maliit man o malaki—ay malaking tulong upang madugtungan ang buhay ng kanyang ama.

Maaari po kayong magpadala ng tulong dito:
𝗚𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗲: Erica Fagarang
𝗚𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: 09097610118

Kung hindi man po kayo makapagbigay pinansyal, malaking tulong na rin ang pag-SHARE ng post na ito at ang inyong taos-pusong DASAL.

The Philippine Society for Microbiology (PSM) Bicol Chapter conducted their 18th Regional Convention and Scientific Meeting at Sorsogon State University Sorsogon City Campus on March 21, 2026, with the theme "Microbial Blueprints: Designing Healthier Communities and a Resilient Planet". The event gathered students, teachers and researchers from different universities in Bicol region, as well as features professional researchers as guest speakers to share their studies and discuss new developments in microbiology.

One of the highlights of the convention was the research presentations where participants presented their studies through poster and oral presentation.

A student from Sorsogon State University, 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗲𝘁, a second-year BS Biology student, won in the Research Poster Presentation. His study, conducted with his team, titled "Comparative Morphological Characterization of Bacterial Presence on Exterior Area of Pechay (𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘱. 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴), Cabbage (𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘢 𝘷𝘢𝘳. 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘢), and Tomato (𝘚𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘮 𝘭𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘶𝘮)" examined the bacterial presence found on the outer surface of commonly consumed vegetables. The research aimed to help increase awareness about microbial contamination in fresh produce and was conducted under the guidance of their adviser, 𝗠𝘀. 𝗖𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻.

Another recognition was given in the Oral Research Presentation Student Category to 𝗠𝗮. 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗔𝘂𝗯𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗗𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻 from Bicol University, who is currently an instructor at Sorsogon State University. Her research, conducted with her team, titled "Invisible Swimmers: Culture and Molecular Detection of Free-Living Amoebae to Shape Evidence-Based Pool Safety Policies in Albay, Philippines" focused on detecting free-living amoebae in swimming pools. The study highlights the importance of monitoring microorganisms in swimming pool water to help improve public health and pool safety policies.

Also recognized in the Oral Presentation category was 𝗠𝘀. 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗮 𝗧𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮 for her research titled "Characterization and Isolation of Microorganisms Present in Fingerscale Sardinella (𝘚𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘶) from Sorsogon Public Market." Conducted with her team under the guidance of their adviser, 𝗠𝘀. 𝗖𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻., the study highlighted microbial contamination in locally sourced fish, emphasizing the importance of monitoring microorganisms to ensure food safety.

The recognition of both the students and instructor from Sorsogon State University highlights the university's growing participation in research and academic activities in Bicol Region. By hosting the convention, the Sorsogon State University showed it's strong support for science while helping promote learning and cooperation among schools in the field of microbiology
