On March 7, 2025, the College of Computer Studies Provincial Council took a meaningful step beyond the walls of Central Philippine University—bringing smiles, support, and a sense of hope to the students of Iloilo River Plains Integrated School.

Welcomed with bright eyes and warm smiles, the council members were met with genuine excitement and appreciation from the young learners. In the true spirit of Servitium ad Gloriam—Service to Glory—the council distributed food snacks and essential school supplies, aiming to lend a helping hand to the children’s daily needs and education.

The council was warmly received by the school’s principal, Dr. Alex S. Porras, whose support and hospitality helped make the outreach even more meaningful.

What made the moment truly special wasn’t just the gifts that were given, but the heartfelt connections that were formed. The simple act of sharing time, resources, and kindness reminded everyone present that even small efforts can spark big changes in someone’s life.

The outreach served as a powerful reminder that service, when done with love and sincerity, resonates far beyond the moment. As laughter echoed through the classrooms and students clutched their new supplies with excitement, the CCS community was reminded of the joy that comes from giving without expecting anything in return.

With each act of kindness, the council continues to uphold its mission—to serve, to inspire, and to make a difference, one life at a time.
