Extension Agenda/Programs
The extension project operates under the broader framework of community-based rehabilitation and reintegration programs for PWUDS. This initiative aligns with the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) guidelines, which mandate that a great majority of PWUDS are low- and moderate-risk individuals who can be effectively treated through community-based drug rehabilitation (CBDR) programs rather than inpatient facilities . The program is implemented in partnership between the University of Southern Mindanao's Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (USM-ISPEAR), the Matalam Municipal Local Government Unit (MLGU), the Rural Health Unit (RHU), and the Philippine National Police (PNP).
The specific extension agenda is formalized through the "WRAP: Wholistic Recovery Approach for PWUDS: An After Care Project," which was endorsed for implementation from June to December 2023 with a budget of P1,188,000.00. Participation in this program is a requirement of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for PWUDS to be removed from the watchlist, but only after completing the six-month Community-Based Rehabilitation Program

The specific extension agenda is formalized through the "WRAP: Wholistic Recovery Approach for PWUDS: An After Care Project," which was endorsed for implementation from June to December 2023 with a budget of P1,188,000.00. Participation in this program is a requirement of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for PWUDS to be removed from the watchlist, but only after completing the six-month Community-Based Rehabilitation Program

Note on Impact Assessment Limitation:
As the College of Trades and Industry (CTI) served as a supporting unit rather than the lead implementer, CTI did not conduct a formal impact assessment. The overall project evaluation and impact measurement remain the responsibility of the lead implementing agencies. All documentation that we gathered, including attendance records, training evaluation forms, participant progress reports, skills assessment forms, output documentation, livelihood action plans, coordination meeting reports, accomplishment reports, and training materials, has been properly compiled and submitted to the lead implementers to support their comprehensive impact assessment of the project. While CTI's role was limited to the delivery of quality training and technical assistance, the documentation provided contributes valuable data that can inform the overall evaluation of the program's effectiveness.
The College of Trades and Industries (CTI) remains steadfast in its commitment to social responsibility and nation-building. True to its mandate of providing technical vocational education, CTI recognizes that sustainable development extends beyond the four walls of the classroom. In line with this vision, the College has launched two parallel extension initiatives aimed at bridging the gap between technical skills acquisition and community empowerment.
These two flagship projects—Skills and Livelihood Training for Unprivileged Individuals in District Jail Kabacan and Community Development in Arakan, Cotabato—represent the College’s proactive response to the diverse needs of marginalized sectors in the Province of Cotabato. While both projects are still in their ongoing implementation phase, they have already begun to generate significant engagement and momentum among the respective beneficiaries.

Kabacan, Cotabato — The University of Southern Mindanao (USM), through its Extension Services Office and College of Trades and Industries (CTI), has partnered with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Kabacan Unit to launch a skills training project for 98 Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs).
An inception meeting was held on June 20, 2025, at the Kabacan District Jail to identify technical and livelihood training programs aimed at supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration of PDLs. The discussion was led by project leader Prof. Joel V. Misanes, with CTI faculty members Prof. Julbasar M. Sajiran and Prof. Marjorie Catuguran, and BJMP representatives JINSP Walter H. Serbito and JO1 Lorna Mae
L. Agustin.
BJMP Representative Serbito emphasized the need for practical interventions that will equip PDLs with marketable skills for post-release self-sufficiency. Both parties affirmed their commitment to the project, agreeing to finalize training modules and schedules in the coming weeks.
On July 1, the USMESO team alongside BJMP Kabacan Unit paid a courtesy visit to the Office of the Municipal Mayor of Kabacan to request support for training equipment and facility use. Representing Mayor Gelyn P. Guzman, Municipal Administrator Ben Guzman expressed full support.

Arakan, Cotabato – The University of Southern Mindanao Extension Services Office (USM-ESO) paid a courtesy visit to recently reelected Arakan Mayor Hon. Jeam D. Villasor on May
15, 2025, at the Office of the Municipal Mayor, Arakan,
Cotabato.
During the visit, USM-ESO Director Dr. Glyn G. Magbanua expressed her commitment to fostering collaboration with partner communities by delivering essential services and implementing skills development training programs that are need-based and aligned with the University’s goals and thrusts.
Faculty members from the College of Trades and Industry, including Prof. Joel Misanes, Prof. Julbasar Sajiran, Prof. Marjorie Catuguran, and Prof. Samson Rapusa, attended the meeting.
Dr. Magbanua and Prof. Misanes led discussions on establishing an extension project in the area, including a needs assessment to tailor support based on the municipality’s priorities.
Among the programs requested by Mayor Villasor were skills development training and post-production processing, aimed at equipping out-of-school youth, women, and other underserved sectors. With relevant skills, the mayor also emphasized the municipality’s goal of increasing global competitiveness by preparing residents with the skills needed for employment abroad.
To support this initiative, Mayor Villasor designated Helma L. Labao, Senior Labor and Employment Officer at the Public Employment Service Office (PESO), to further coordinate and identify potential beneficiaries of the planned programs.
Dr. Magbanua committed to drafting a proposal for the potential extension project to enhance the municipality’s competitiveness and promote inclusive growth.
This collaborative effort highlights a shared commitment to empowering the community and addressing its most urgent needs, laying the foundation for sustainable local development.
