To our ever dynamic and visionary University President, Dr. Prose Ivy G. Yepes; Chancellor Bon Anthony Costillas of VSU Villaba Campus; equally respected Vice Presidents, Deans of Colleges, and other university heads, to the proud parents, and of course, our dear graduates, a pleasant afternoon! 

For Jomari Z. Tubigan, the sea has always been more than just a backdrop to his childhood.

As the university officially launched its 2026 Nutrition Month celebration, VSU reaffirmed its commitment to advancing food security and nutrition by empowering communities to make healthier, more sustainable food choices while protecting the natural resources that sustain life. Anchored on the National Nutrition Council's (NNC) sub-theme, "Nutrisyon at Kalikasan, Ating Pangalagaan!,” the celebration reinforces the goals of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2023–2028, recognizing that achieving Zero Hunger requires collective action to safeguard both people and the environment.
