BU ADVISORY | Online Classes, WFH on 20 October

All classes at BU Legazpi West, East, and Daraga will shift to online learning (asynchronous or synchronous) on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Non-teaching personnel of the same campuses will be dismissed from on-site work at 12:00 noon. They will then work from home for the rest of the workday.

These steps follow the traffic advisory of the Office of the City Mayor of Legazpi, through the Legazpi City Traffic Management and Public Safety Office. It warns of road closures and heavy traffic near Peñaranda Park from 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM due to the Diocesan Grand Procession 2026.

Faculty members shall prepare the needed class activities and shall submit accomplishment reports on the online classes conducted. The WFH setup does not cover security guards, job order utility personnel, and drivers with scheduled official travel; they will continue to report for duty. Everyone under WFH must stay reachable and finish their tasks on time.

Heads of offices and units must make sure these measures are carried out and essential University services continue without interruption.

Please be guided accordingly.

“𝐈 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑. 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃-𝐊𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐑. 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐋𝐄-𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. 𝐈 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑. 𝐈 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐓 𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐌𝐄.” — 𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓, 𝐃𝐔𝐍𝐄

This powerful quote shifts our perspective on stress. Mental strength isn't about never feeling worried; it's about building the 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄 to look your academic anxieties in the eye and watch them shrink. Real progress happens when you find the 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄 to stay focused, trust your preparation, and realize that your 𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 is much stronger than any passing exam panic.

Instead of letting stress dictate your week, use it as fuel to push forward. You have everything it takes to survive the pressure and come out stronger on the other side.

Happy Monday, BUeños! If the workload feels overwhelming, don't face it alone. Bring your notes, take a deep breath, and unlock your true potential in a calm environment here at the East Campus Library! 😁❤️

“𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆, 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋.” — 𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐇

More often than not, we view mistakes and setbacks as signs of failure. The fear of making a wrong turn, failing an exam, or falling short of our expectations can paralyze us, keeping us trapped in our comfort zones. And in doing so, we forget that stumbling is simply proof that we are trying.

This timeless wisdom by 18th-century author Oliver Goldsmith gently reminds us that perfection isn’t the goal of our journey, but rather resilience. True progress isn't about maintaining a flawless record, but about the 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄 to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and recognize that 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐓 is an 𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐋 part of learning.

In life, growth without a few stumbles is impossible. We have to remember that in order for us to succeed, we must accept setbacks not as dead ends, but as opportunities to start again with more wisdom. After all, a meaningful journey isn’t defined by how smooth your path was, but by your strength to keep standing back up without losing your hope along the way.

Happy Monday, BUeños! No matter what obstacles you are facing, your safe space to study and restart is always open here at the East Campus Library ❤

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲: 𝐄𝐂𝐋 𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲!

The East Campus Library actively participated in the 3rd Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) initiated by Bicol University last September 10, 2026.

This initiative aims to raise awareness and assess how well staff and students respond to such natural occurrences.

The East Campus Library staff ensured that students were guided safely and systematically to the designated assembly area.
