July 14, 2026 – Western Philippines University–Busuanga Campus conducted a three-day Basic Life Support (BLS) Training and Workshop for NSTP students in partnership with the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) of Busuanga, Palawan. The training equipped participants with essential emergency response competencies through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), wound management, proper bandaging, rescue transfer techniques, and other life-saving procedures.

Beyond developing technical skills, the program emphasized the importance of preparedness, service, and community responsibility, encouraging participants to apply their knowledge in protecting lives during emergencies. Through active participation and practical learning, students gained the confidence to respond effectively in crisis situations while strengthening campus and community resilience.

By investing in life-saving education and collaborative capacity-building initiatives, WPU continues to empower learners with practical skills that extend beyond the classroom, fostering a safer, more prepared, and socially responsible university community.
