Cauayan City, Isabela, known as the first Smart City in the Philippines, is set to adopt the We CommuNect System Version 02 as part of its move to strengthen digital governance and legislative record management. The city was established as the country’s First Smart City on March 25, 2015 by the Department of Science and Technology Region 02.

The initiative was led by NMYL Isabela President Hon. Miko Delmendo, who also serves as a City Councilor of Cauayan City, together with Vice Mayor Hon. Benjamin “Benjie” J. Dy III. Their support marks an important step in bringing the We CommuNect extension project of Isabela State University to one of the most innovative local government units in the country.

During the visit, the We CommuNect team was welcomed by the staff of the legislative office. The team conducted a needs analysis to study the current system, existing workflow, and document management process of the office. The activity focused on understanding how ordinances, resolutions, and other legislative records are prepared, stored, accessed, and archived.

The proposed We CommuNect Version 02 aims to provide the legislative office with its own official website. More importantly, it will serve as a digital archive for ordinances and other legislative documents. Through this platform, the city can improve record keeping, make document retrieval faster, and support easier access to important legislative information.

The team also discussed the future direction of the project with the legislative office. The discussion helped identify the specific needs of the city and the possible features that the extension project can provide. These include website management, digital archiving, organized document storage, and a more efficient way of searching legislative records.

The visit showed the value of collaboration between the local government and the Isabela State University Extension Office through We CommuNect. It also proved that the project can support the city’s goal of using technology to improve public service.

For the We CommuNect team, it is a great honor to be part of Cauayan City’s digital journey. Bringing We CommuNect to the first Smart City in the country is not only a milestone for the project, but also a strong sign that local legislative offices are ready to adopt smarter and more accessible systems for the people.

Officers of the National Movement of Young Legislators (NMYL) Region II conducted a leadership training for students enrolled in CS GE ELEC3: Leadership and Management in the Profession at Isabela State University.

The activity used the KATIPUNAN Module of Katipunan Formation Program, which is part of the subject. The module focuses on good citizenship, responsible leadership, public service, and active participation in nation-building. Through this training, the students were given the opportunity to learn leadership not only from classroom discussion but also from the actual experiences of legislators in our country.

Serving as trainers were Hon. Elli John Galingana Cañero, Municipal Councilor of Delfin Albano, Isabela, and Hon. Guill Marc Daus Mariano, Municipal Councilor of San Isidro, Isabela. Both are officers of NMYL Region II and shared their knowledge, skills, and experiences in leadership, governance, and public service.

The training served as a meaningful bridge between the university and leaders in public service. It showed that through extension initiatives, the university can also gain support from its partners through their service, knowledge, and expertise. The activity was connected to We CommuNect, an extension initiative that strengthens collaboration between Isabela State University, local government leaders, and partner municipalities.

NMYL, as an organization composed of young legislators in the country, brought valuable insights to the students. Their participation in the activity served as a practical and meaningful teaching strategy for the subject. As public servants, the speakers helped the students understand how leadership is applied in real situations, especially in governance, community service, and nation-building.

The activity proved that leadership education becomes more effective when students are exposed to real-life leaders. The stories and experiences shared by the NMYL officers helped make the subject more productive, memorable, and relevant to the students’ future profession.

For the students, the training emphasized that professional growth is not limited to technical skills. While students are trained to develop competence in their chosen field, they must also understand the value of being responsible citizens and effective leaders.

The leadership training also highlighted that Leadership and Management in the Profession is more than just a subject. It is a preparation for students to understand their role in society and to develop the qualities needed to lead with purpose, integrity, and service.

Through the partnership with NMYL Region II, the activity became an opportunity for students to connect academic learning with real leadership practices. It strengthened the idea that the university, through its extension efforts and partner institutions, can create learning experiences that go beyond the classroom.

The event also reflected the goal of We CommuNect: to build meaningful connections between the academe and community leaders. By bringing legislators into the learning space, the initiative helped inspire future professionals to become not only skilled graduates but also responsible citizens and leaders who can contribute to nation-building.

While technology continues to advance, true progress can only happen when leadership, integrity, and public service guide its purpose.
