As part of the DLSU Civil Engineering Department sustainable
community engagement, the activity entitled:
“DE LA
SALLE UNIVERSITY AT DON BOSCO CALAUAN: MAGKATUWANG SA PAGPAUNLAND SA KABUHAYAN
SA SOUTHVILLE 7” was held last January
28, 2017. The main objective of Community Outreach 2017 is to
expand the network of support to address the problems of lack of livelihood and
income of the community.
The Community Outreach 2017 is composed of two major
activities:
Activity 1: Three Civil
Engineering Research-Based Initiatives & Services (CERBIS) researches were
presented for possible adoption of the community, namely:
1) Effects of Fire on the Compressive Strength of
Concrete Hollow Blocks mixed with Plastic Waste Aggregates
2) Investigation of Strength and Durability of
Paving Blocks made of Non-Biodegradable Household Waste as Partial Substitute
for Fine Aggregates
3) Effects of Plastic Wastes as Partial Aggregate
Substitute to Concrete Hollow Blocks
Presented by: Nikko Villanueva and Maejann
Cuartero
Presented by: Engr. Richard De Jesus
Presented by: Dr. Bernardo Lejano
The results of the
three researches may help improve the quality of Concrete Hollow Blocks
production and its technology being implemented in Don Bosco-Calauan.
Activity 2: A roundtable discussion among locals and
faculty members of DLSU GCOE and COSCA occurred to address concerns of
livelihood and product marketing.
The leaders of five livelihood projects in Don Bosco Calauan, namely:
Rholly Aňonuevo of Zefferin Shoes, Angie Arceňo of Agos ng Pag-asa, Gil
Subarufen of Agua Viviňa Alkaline Water Refilling Station, Salatiel Baculad of
Rinaldi Builders and Bino Iraola of Margaret Café, shared their idea of
solutions in uplifting the current status of their projects.
Together with Father Salvador Pablo, Bro Edward
Villordon, and Ms. Susan Pullarca of Don Bosco, exchanges of ideas on how to
market products, package and create branding had transpired among locals and
the delegates from DLSU. Also there is a need to support the People’s Academy,
where volunteers may train locals with livelihood-related skills.
