On June 28, 2024, Southern Leyte State University - Maasin City Campus conducted a comprehensive extension monitoring activity at Pajo River, located in Brgy. Mabini, Macrohon, Southern Leyte. The purpose of this initiative was to assess the ongoing impact and effectiveness of the university's extension projects in the area.
The event saw the attendance of key university personnel, including Dr. Magdaleno T. Samaco, Jr., Head of the Research, Innovation, and Extension Services (RIES) Office; Dr. Jonathan J. Palco, Research Coordinator; Ms. Juvenal F. Sumaya, Extension Coordinator; and Ms. Lelie Lou Bacalla, a representative from the Extension, Linkages, and International Affairs.
