Continuing its National Women’s Month 2025 observance, the Agusan del Sur State College of Agriculture and Technology (ASSCAT) highlighted the strength, leadership, and contributions of women during the flag-raising ceremony at the Sports and Socio-Cultural Center. With the theme “Babae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat at Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinas,” the event reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to gender equality and inclusivity.

Marzo, Jr., representing Vice President for Research, Innovation, Development, and Extension, Dr. Ferdinand A. Dumalagan; Executive Assistant III, Engr. Janice C. Puspos; and College of Agriculture Dean, Dr. Sarah Ravelo.
In her address, Dr. Capistrano drew inspiration from Proverbs 31:25-26, emphasizing that an empowered woman embodies strength, wisdom, and resilience. She encouraged women to embrace their individuality, carve their own paths, and pursue leadership roles in their respective fields.
