While in Bohol Island State University
(BISU- Bilar Campus) for a two- day speaking engagement, I was billeted at a
quaint air- conditioned bungalow that pampered me with the best amenities. The organizing
committee did a splendid job in welcoming me and making me sample the best in Boholano
hospitality
I would also like to commend the Red
Cross Youth of BISU- Bilar Campus headed and founded by school nurse John R.
Gudmalin, RN, for doing a great job not only in First Aid & Disaster
Preparedness but also for instilling the spirit of volunteerism among its youth
members.

According to Sir John, when he first
joined BISU- Bilar, the area where the RCY Center stands now used to be a vacant
lot that doubled as dumping/ storage ground for dilapidated materials.
After consulting with the school
administration and with assistance from alumni and friends from outside, he
proceeded with a beautification project and landscaping for the area which is
just a stone’s throw away from the school clinic.
Today, the area is now an oasis for
relaxation and for studying. The well-manicured lawn and the well- arranged
ornamental plants and shrubs make for a conducive area to relax the mind and
the senses
The
RCY of BISU- Bilar Campus is also self- sustaining with their
fundraisers that enhance and develop the student members’ entrepreneurial spirit
and sense of independence and being responsible.

No wonder, their RCY is consistently
adjudged Bohol’s Best Red Cross Youth Council.
Presently, under the presidency of student
Jose Jala & with the guidance of Sir John Gudmalin and with the support of
school director Dr. Arnulfo C. Olandria, the RCY of BISU- Bilar is thriving and
is on its way to another fulfilling and enriching schoolyear
Kudos!
