Ms. Abelita “Abby” L. Villanueva, President-CEO of AGA Academy in Canada, sponsored the exterior painting of the two-story academic building at the College of Agriculture, Food, and Sustainable Development (CAFSD) Dingras Campus.

Dr. Sosima Demandante, program coordinator of the CAFSD-Dingras campus, expressed her gratitude and shared how Ms. Villanueva's sponsorship became possible. “Through Ms. Abby Villanueva, an alumna of the Diploma in Agricultural Technology and Bachelor in Agricultural Technology (DAT-BAT) program, we initiated the exterior painting and landscaping of the two-story academic building on January 22, 2024,” she said.

The two-story academic building houses two computer laboratories, including the Center for Flexible Learning, which is fully equipped with two air conditioning units and ten computers for online classes, providing an optimal environment for online learning.

This initiative aligns with MMSU’s 7-point agenda of establishing a vibrant, engaging, culturally focused university campus. It also serves as a testament to the enduring bonds between MMSU and its alumni.

In 2022 and 2023, MMSU agriculture students received scholarship grants from AGA Academy. The AGA Academy Presidential Scholarship helps deserving regular-year students taking BS Agriculture with a general weighted average of not lower than 1.75 and coming from low-income families. (MKA_StratCoM)
