Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, Ph.D., the University President, spent his birthday alongside Cagayanos devastated by Typhoon #MarcePH in Paddaya, Aparri, Cagayan, on November 11, 2024.
Fr. Maniwang led a university outreach program at Paddaya Integrated School in Paddaya, Aparri, Cagayan to bring relief and comfort to families affected by the said typhoon. The program began with a solemn Holy Eucharist, manifesting a religious and compassionate ambiance. Profoundly driven by Fr. Maniwang’s concerns for the community, he viewed this initiative as a means of showing support and unity with the Cagayanos. In keeping with USL’s mission, 22 university employees joined him in distributing the relief goods.
After the mass, relief packs were distributed to 250 families, each containing essential goods to assist those facing hardship caused by the typhoon. This act of service exemplified USL’s mission to uplift communities, demonstrating that its commitment extends beyond education to embrace social responsibility.
Through this meaningful act of kindness, USL emphasized its commitment to supporting the Cagayanos and fostering compassion, faith, and unity.
