Extension Programs Initiated by the Campus

The Covid-19 pandemic has temporarily seized
mobility of people and the services geared towards them
across the globe. Although this has resulted in
uncertainties among people regardless of demographics
and qualms in the global economy, this only sparked
immediate government response from people even beyond
the purview of their work.

The Ifugao State University, Potia Campus,
Alfonso Lista, Ifugao, is in solidarity with this call to cater
to immediate needs of the people under these challenging
times. Various programs have been initiated by the
University because it understands that the unprecedented
global crisis does not spare vulnerable groups in the
society. Made evident, IFSU distributed medical supplies
such as face masks, alcohol and antibacterial soaps, and
set up hand washing facility at checkpoints around
barangay Potia, Alfonso Lista, Ifugao, where the
university is situated. to encourage the community to
practice proper hand hygiene.

In March 2020, 100 packs of relief goods were
distributed to the Potia Campus’ Security Personnel and
stranded students. On the same month, 170 packs of
relief goods, 100 pieces of alcohol (100 ml), 160 calamansi-
based antibacterial soaps and 100 locally produced face
masks were distributed to the Barangay Local
Government Unit (BLGU) selected residents of Potia,
Alfonso Lista, Ifugao and stranded IFSU student. Another
100 pieces of calamansi-based antibacterial soaps were
turned over to the Alfonso Lista MDRRMC to be
distributed to the frontline workers of the municipality.
