Hearts United for Malapatan: PSABE Community Outreach

In the wake of the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck our region last June 8, 2026, the PSABE community has come together with a unified purpose. Today, July 17, we successfully conducted a community outreach and relief mission for the affected families of Barangay Poblacion, Malapatan, Sarangani Province.

This meaningful initiative was made possible by the immense generosity and compassion of PSABE members from different parts of the country. Being on the ground to extend comfort and personally distribute relief goods to the earthquake victims was a deeply moving and heartwarming experience. Beyond general relief, it brought great comfort to extend financial aid through cash assistance to selected members of our very own PSABE community whose homes were completely wrecked by the disaster.

We are highly honored by the presence of our PSABE National President, Engr. Peachie B. Melendes, who joined the mission. The event was actively facilitated by the PSABE National and PSABE Region XII leadership, working in close coordination with the Office of the Provincial Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer (OPABE) of Sarangani Province, as well as the Office of the Municipal Agriculturist (OMAG) and the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) of the Malapatan LGU.

Our earnest appreciation goes out to the PSABE Region XII Board of Trustees, alongside the Faculty Members and Staff of the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department of Mindanao State University – General Santos. Their active participation and dedication ensured the smooth and orderly delivery of these vital blessings to the community.

To everyone who selflessly gave, carefully facilitated, and steadfastly supported this cause—thank you for embodying the true spirit of bayanihan when it was needed most. Your kindness has brought much-needed comfort, recovery, and hope to Malapatan. Daghang salamat! 💙🌾

A Legacy Woven in Excellence: Closing the 75th PSABE Diamond Jubilee

​As the curtains draw to a close on the historic 75th PSABE Annual National Convention, we reflect on a week of unparalleled professional synergy and regional pride. Standing at the heart of the "Land of Dream Weavers," Engr. Edward R. Lapong, Ph.D., President of the Co-Host Chapter (PSABE Region XII) and Convention Co-Chair, delivered a powerful closing message that resonated with every Bayaw in attendance.

​Dr. Lapong highlighted that hosting this landmark convention for the fourth time is a resounding testament to Region XII's enduring capability to convene the nation’s finest minds. From the vigor of research presentations to the cultural vibrancy of the Governor’s, Mayor’s, Congressional and Sponsor's Night, the convention served as a beacon of unity, proving that in South Cotabato, tradition and progress harmoniously converge.

​The success of this Diamond Jubilee was made possible through the tireless collaboration of the PSABE National Organizers, our generous sponsors, and our steadfast partners in the Local Government Units of Koronadal City and South Cotabato. We extend our deepest gratitude to the dedicated men and women of the PSABE South Cotabato Chapter and the regional committees who worked behind the scenes to showcase the very best our region has to offer.

​As we depart from Koronadal City, we carry with us more than just memories; we carry a renewed determination to advance Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering for the benefit of our nation. In the spirit of the Dream Weavers, let us continue to weave our professional aspirations into reality, ensuring that the seeds of innovation planted here will bear fruit for generations to come.

​To all our Bayaws from across all regions: Damo gid na salamat, Daghan kaayong salamat, and safe travels!
​Mabuhay ang PSABE! Mabuhay ang ating mga Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers!

This award represents the gold standard of excellence, service, and leadership within the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering profession in the Philippines.

The Legacy of Leadership Continues: Region XII Secures Back-to-Back National Honors!

Today marks another moment of profound national pride for Region XII at the 75th PSABE Diamond Jubilee. Armand Roque L. Diez, the President of the PSABE-PPG University of Southern Mindanao (USM) Chapter, has been officially recognized as the 2026 Most Outstanding ABE Student Leader. This prestigious award highlights Armand's exceptional leadership and his unwavering dedication to the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering student community.

This victory is particularly significant as it marks the second consecutive year that our region has claimed this top honor. It follows the footsteps of Engr. Gwyneth Pearl Javier of Mindanao State University (MSU) General Santos, who was conferred the same award last year during the 2025 convention in Iloilo City. The consistency of these achievements underscores the high standard of mentorship and student leadership currently flourishing within SOCCSKSARGEN.

Beyond the back-to-back wins, this recognition serves as a testament to a rapidly growing legacy. Armand’s win represents the 5th National Awardee from Region XII in just the last three years. This incredible track record solidifies our region's standing as a powerhouse in the national ABE community and reflects the collective excellence of our academic institutions and student chapters.

Once again, we have proven that Region XII is truly the "Playground of Champions." We celebrate Armand's success as a win for the entire region and a source of inspiration for all aspiring ABEs. As we continue the festivities of the Diamond Jubilee in Koronadal City, we carry this honor with immense pride and a renewed commitment to nurturing the next generation of visionary national leaders.
