CME Asst Dean clarifies issue on JRMSU consortium
By Jeffrey John G. Bungcasan
After hearing several complaints from its students, Negros Oriental State University–College of Maritime Education (NORSU–CME) Assistant Dean Edgardo Santillana shed light on the issue regarding the university’s consortium with the Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU) in Dapitan City.
The issue brought confusion to CME students after knowing that some of their subjects will beoffered in JRMSU. Santillana said that the issue is not true.
He added that the CME students will not be going to JRMSU to take their subjects. Instead, the instructors from the said university are the ones to come to NORSU.
Since JRMSU is in consortium with NORSU, they will be opening subjects that would compensate the 24-unit deficiency of NORSU–CME as required by the Commission on Higher Education.
The subjects to be offered are Spanish Language, English Proficiency Enhancement, Accelerated English Proficiency, Ship Construction and Stability and Safety II (Safety Procedure).
Junior Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation (BSMT) student Christian Kate C. Mandal said, “It is very okay that they will send professors here but it is still a hassle because instead of only three years, we have to take another semester for the additional 24-unit requirement.”
NORSU–MC I lib implements ‘log-in’ system
By Jela Mae T. Ruales
To help determine the number of students who avail of the services of the Negros Oriental State University–Main Campus I (NORSU–MC I) library, a ‘log-in’ system was implemented last June 4.
The new system was mandated by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in order to have documentary records on the number of students who use the library every day as well as assess and evaluate the performance of every library personnel.
Library attendant Zaldy Elmido said that a total of seven regular staff members are assigned to do the ‘log-in’ system—to record and tabulate the names and number of students entering the library.
Elmido explained that each staff member is given a quota of approximately 1,000 names of students per semester as required by the CSC. The number of students each library personnel can record will determine how well they have performed their job.
Moreover, he said that the new system would require each student to write his/her name, course, year level and his/her purpose in going inside the library. With this, library personnel would easily determine students who borrowed books, magazines, newspapers and other reading materials. More so, it would help them impose fines on students who fail to return the materials they have borrowed.
“This might be a hassle for them but they will surely get used to it soon,” Elmido said.
Library student assistant Dayanara Villalon shared that she has prepared on how to do the ‘log-in’ system which will surely help her facilitate the students in using the process.
“It [log-in] looks formal to have that in the library,” first year Bachelor of Science in Tourism student Cookie Mae Pialago said.
Merry Queen Legaspi, a junior Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering student shared that she was glad that NORSU has employed a new system this semester. “Ok ra siya kay it’s for the library’s benefit man pud—to have a record of students nga musulod sa library,” she said. On the other hand, sophomore Bachelor of Science in Information Technology student Gemmarie Tindoc said, “Useless ra siya kay dili man pud mu-fill-up ang ubang students.”

The director continued, “Your establishment [NORSU] was chosen as one of the best representatives of national education. The best graduates of your university are well known for their high level of knowledge and professional skills both in your country and abroad.”
Dr. Henry A. Sojor supposed that he is nominated because he has been invited into international fora and symposia as key speaker and research person. “In my own point of view, I am nominated because I am responsible in making this [NORSU] into a state university, giving quality education for poor but deserving students, and besides, their [EBA] research institutions are the ones responsible in investigating public opinions to discover leaders,”he said.
In addition, the president said that he will not attend the awarding ceremony because he cannot afford to be there.
The distinction is designed to honor the best personalities in the field of higher and secondary education, fundamental and applied researches, science and culture. It also symbolizes the highest degree of professional achievements, recognitions and services for common values enriching. The awarding ceremony and euro science open forum will be in Dublin, Ireland on July 1-15.
Meanwhile, EBA research teams are the ones responsible in examining likely individuals prospected to be leaders. Those who have excelled and have prolifically made contributions to the national science and positive social processes are the ones chosen and nominated.
Macahig challenges new LSO president
By Jeffrey John G. Bungcasan
Negros Oriental State University–League of Student Organization (NORSU–LSO) Adviser Giovanni Macahig challenges newly-elected LSO President Xyza Mae Callao to help all student organizations to be actively involved in civic and community activities this school year.
Macahig said that the LSO must participate in tree planting, clean-up drives, and blood donation activities, among others. With these, Macahig added that the organization’s involvement will be its way to get registered easily in the LSO.
“We will be planning to clean and plant trees at the banks of Banica River and in Brgys. Balugo and Candau-ay because these places need it most,” Macahig said.
The LSO adviser is also asking Callao to arrange an “organization day” wherein each student group will be allowed to advertise their own organization and recruit new members. According to him, this plan would sustain the number of registered student organizations and would help them prepare for NORSU’s 85th founding anniversary.
Asked about her opinion on the LSO adviser’s challenge, Callao, a graduating Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences student, said that Macahig’s plans are ‘okay’ for her and that she is willing to help the LSO achieve its purposes. More so, she said that there must be a collaboration between the LSO and the student body in order for them to attain the goals and plans they want.
Meanwhile, Callao added that she is open to any suggestions from the studentry since this would help them identify the areas that need improvement. She added that the LSO office will be open to cater the needs and suggestions of the students and that an LSO officer will be readily available to aid them.
“I cannot work alone because I also need the cooperation of my members to answer students’ questions,” Callao disclosed.

CIT adopts ‘green architecture’ for P28-M renovated bldg
By Mei Anne A. Morales
In order to maximize space and be energy efficient, the Negros Oriental State University–College of Industrial Technology (NORSU–CIT) currently adopts the ‘green architecture’ design for its second floor extension to the tune of P28 million. The project includes the renovation of the ground floor.
The ‘green architecture’ design was initiated by Assistant University Engineer for Architecture and Civil Works Architect Roy Solis. The new second floor has 12 classrooms, two storage rooms and comfort rooms located on its south and north wings.
“We only have 12 rooms because we cannot expand the dimension…we have
limited space,” Solis said.
Solis added that with the ‘green architecture’ design, electric fans and fluorescent lights will be less needed because there is sufficient ventilation and light that can freely enter into each room. “In that way, we consume less electricity,” he noted.
CIT Dean Glicerio Duran, Jr. said that the design made their college beautiful and conducive for learning. More so, Duran is hoping that the new building will “inspire students to learn.”
“It will be easy for us now to organize our major classes,” said Rudilito Cabajon, CIT Drawing Department instructor.
Moreover, Assistant Professor II Lorenzo Sugod said, “The building is properly designed. We can now establish a good teaching-learning process since we already have new rooms.” Sugod also suggested that every technology room the college has, must also be provided with tool and file cabinets for safekeeping of documents, as well as new white boards.
“New look, new building, new people, new instructors,” said Aida Francisco, a sophomore Bachelor of Science in Computer Technology student.
Meanwhile, Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology (BSIT) students Jed Ryan Alabastro and Reynaldo Katada Jr. praised the placing of benches along the waiting area of the second floor so that the students will not be bored while waiting for their next classes.

2 die after truck sideswipes pedestrians
Victims walk on the wrong side, authorities said
By Joeylen Dela Cruz
Bayawan City – Two pedestrians were dead and four injured after a speeding Isuzu Elf truck sideswiped the victims along Talas Place, Cansilong, Bayawan City, Negros Oriental on May 19.
The fatalities were identified as Analy Torres, 36 and Glenda Gelera, 19, a fresh graduate of Bachelor of Elementary Education in Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) – Bayawan-Sta. Catalina Campus (BSC). The two were declared dead on arrival by attending physician Dr. Victor Nuico of Bayawan District Hospital.
The other victims who sustained bruises in the different parts of the body were Apolonio Copra, Ramon Cayang, Globilyn Cayang and Yen Gelera.
Victims were on the wrong side
Based on the initial investigation conducted by the Bayawan City–Philippine National Police headed by Police Chief Inspector Teodorico Picardal, at around 10:30 p.m., a fast Isuzu Elf was travelling en route Basay to Bayawan City upon reaching the curve of Talas Place, Cansilong area.
The chief inspector added that the six victims were walking “on the wrong side of the road.” Meanwhile, Picardal noted that the Isuzu Elf driver was drunk when the incident happened.
The driver, Herman Baldado, 49 years old and a resident of Brgy. Cawitan, Santa Catalina, will be facing the cases of reckless imprudence, homicide and multiple physical injuries.
Picardal advised pedestrians to be more vigilant when walking along or crossing national highways to avoid the same accident.
Marve Fabela, a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy student and one of the witnesses of the incident, admitted that they [pedestrians] do also have a fault since they were walking on the wrong side. According to him, they should have walked on the left side of the road.
NORSU extends help for Gelera
Glenda Gelera is the youngest among the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Bordet Gelera and is a magna cum laude awardee.
NORSU–BSC College of Education (CEd) donated a humble amount for the victim’s funeral. CEd Assistant Dean Lucille Himpayan shared that she was really shocked about what happened to Gelera. She added that Gelera is surely a big loss to the community since she had been a good student leader and a member of The Pylon.
Meanwhile, NORSU–BSC Student Affairs Office Director Francis Galon said that the parents of the victim will receive their daughter’s death insurance worth P50, 000.

By Francis Ivan G. Ho
With a cumulative grade point average of 1.2 or 93%, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics graduate Henzel Mae Ymbol made a record-breaking feat after being hailed as Negros Oriental State University’s first-ever Summa Cum Laude during the university’s 54th Commencement Exercises last March 23.
Twenty-year-old Henzel Mae Ymbol is a scholar of the United Coconut Planters Bank–Coconut Industry Investment Fund (UCPB–CIIF). Ymbol is the first ever graduate who achieved the summa cum laude award in the history of NORSU and in UCPB–CIIF.
NORSU President Henry A. Sojor told the The NORSUnian (TN) that he was glad with the achievement of Ymbol as the ‘record-breaker’ in the university’s history. He added that if someone will gain such recognition, he/she will lead a way for aspiring students.
“Because someone broke the record, soon enough, [more] Norsunians will follow,” the university president disclosed.
Ymbol, being the NORSU graduate who first achieved the summa cum laude award, also received the Medal of Excellence from UCPB-CIIF Foundation, Medal for Leadership Award from Senator Aquilino Pimental III and the Medal of Excellence from Senator Manny Villar and former Finance Secretary Margarito “Gary” Teves.
“Your advocacy for excellence has guided her [Miss Ymbol] to strive for the highest academic performance as well as hone her leadership skills,” said UCPB-CIIF President Edgardo Amistad in a letter to the university president.
Edgardo also expressed his admiration for what Ymbol has done and recognized her as the first UCPB-CIIF scholar to gain the highest award among the 385 UCPB–CIIF scholars from the different universities in the country since 2004.
Meanwhile, Ymbol in an interview with TN, expressed her happiness about the recognition. "I am happy with the awards I have received…it was a mixture of feelings actually. I am even afraid because there's a bigger responsibility I have to shoulder. I'll be representing and carrying the flag of NORSU, and I have to live up with the expectations of the people," she said.
Ymbol also thanked her scholarship [UCPB-CIIF] for letting her avail of a free college education that her parents could not afford.
"We were classmates before. She is very quiet but answers questions well," said Katherine Villocillo, a fresh graduate of Bachelor of Science in Technological Education.
Furthermore, Rojan Talita, a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy student said, "I hope that she can achieve what she opt for."
Ymbol’s achievement solicited national attention and that several leading newspapers in the Philippines published articles about her ‘record-breaking’ performance.

By Janethriz B. Aso and Jela Mae Ruales
A Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) graduate of Negros Oriental State University (NORSU), Mario Erosedo placed 10th in the Registered Master Electrician Licensure Examination (RMELE) last April 24.
Erosedo obtained an 81 percent passing rate, putting him on the 10th spot of the board examination. With him is another NORSU–RMELE passer, Reinhold Jek Abing.
Sought for his reaction on the recent examination, Erosedo said that the result surprised him a lot and he never anticipated in topping the exam. According to him, with added prayers and patience in reviewing, nothing is impossible in obtaining a satisfactory outcome.
Erosedo added that he had a hard time focusing for the RMELE. “Lisod para nako ang RMELE kay wala jud nako nabasa maayo ang Philippine Electrical Code book; focused man me sa Electrical Engineering Licensure Examination,” he stressed.
College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA) Dean Josef Vill Villanueva congratulated Erosedo and Abing for the name they have brought to their college. He added that he was glad with the two passers for inspiring students to excel in their field of endeavor.
“There were those who topped the Master Electrician Exam before, and I am glad that my students continued doing it,” Villanueva disclosed.
Third year BSEE student Charess Villalva said, “His [Erosedo] five-year stay in CEA was all worth it.”
Another junior BSEE student, Gladys Marie Morales, commended Erosedo’s satisfying mark in the exam. She said, “I was never regretful upon choosing my course for I know our instructors are molding us well to become successful engineers in the future…it shows on the number of passers CEA gains every year.”
“Engr. Erosedo brought NORSU’s name into fame,” said fourth year Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering student Armand Paul Mangubat. For Bethlyn Joy Pagasian, another senior BSEE student, the result will motivate and inspire her and other students to study harder. Pagasian related that CEA’s instructors are really employing their best skills to train students and future topnotchers.
The Professional Regulation Commission announced that 690 registered master electrician passed out of 1,953 RMELE takers.

7 BS Accy grads pass CPALE 2012
By Myrna B. Alarcio
After posing no passers from last year’s examination, Negros Oriental State University–College of Business and Accountancy (NORSU–CBA) have finally produced seven Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) during the May 2012 Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination (CPALE).
The new CPAs were Charlotte Alinsunurin, Jonald Bendaño, Ranelo dela Cruz, Shelah Dorio, Christine Chelo Laurante, Meriane Salik, and James Earl Villacorte.
NORSU-CBA mustered a 53.85 percent passing rate after seven out of 13 takers passed the CPALE, higher than the 37.85 percent national passing mark set by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). The passers consist of three from the six Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BS Accy) fresh graduates and four from the seven repeaters.
CBA Dean Silveria Ochotorena said that she is pleased with the performance of the examinees. “I am happy that they have reached the passing mark, thus the performance of NORSU is quite improving,” she said.
The dean shared that dedication and religious studying, together with the right preparations, helped the CPALE takers pass. Meanwhile, Ochotorena disclosed that the CBA gave monetary assistance worth P20, 000 to the takers for the review materials.
However, Accountancy Department Chair Brigido Enquilino said he was a bit dissatisfied with the result. “The performance was not that good that’s why we are aiming to get a 100 percent rate or maybe at least 80 percent this October,” he said.
Moreover, the department chair advised future takers to have proper study habits. “They [BS Accy students] need to study with a minimum of 5 hours daily.”
He furthered that the department is employing the zero-based grading system effective this year where students must maintain a grade of 75 percent or higher in all major subjects. “Once they failed in a major subject, we advise them to shift,” Enquilino disclosed.
Stephanie Bilocura, a senior BS Accy student, opined that she was glad with the result. “I am happy because it is already an achievement of the department from 0 to 50 percent,” she said.
Jennilou Sienes, another freshman BS Accy student, shared that she was inspired to finish her course. “If nakaya nila, makaya pud namo,” she said.
Meanwhile, the PRC announced that 1, 995 out of 5, 315 examinees passed the CPALE conducted in the cities of Manila, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, and Legazpi.
After posing no passers from last year’s examination, Negros Oriental State University–College of Business and Accountancy (NORSU–CBA) have finally produced seven Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) during the May 2012 Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examination (CPALE).
The new CPAs were Charlotte Alinsunurin, Jonald Bendaño, Ranelo dela Cruz, Shelah Dorio, Christine Chelo Laurante, Meriane Salik, and James Earl Villacorte.
NORSU-CBA mustered a 53.85 percent passing rate after seven out of 13 takers passed the CPALE, higher than the 37.85 percent national passing mark set by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). The passers consist of three from the six Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BS Accy) fresh graduates and four from the seven repeaters.
