INTRODUCTION
All State Universities and Colleges (SUC’s) are mandated to perform the four pillars such as instruction, research, extension and production. Extension is an intrinsic function of the college with the purpose of initiating, inciting and nourishing the progress of selected agropolitan and other assisted communities, line agencies and other development-oriented linkages using the colleges’ expertise, research outputs and available resources for both academic and non-academic pursuits.
Responding to its mandate, the Camarines Sur State Agricultural College (CSSAC) Extension Services is dedicated to develop the total quality of life of the rural poor. It has four (4) program components, a) Community Learning Program; b) Continuing Education and Training Program; c) Communication Materials and Publication Development Program; and d) Corporate Linkages and Special Project Program. One of the extension models under the Community Learning Program is the Bayanihan Learning Community (BLC). It is a people-centered and community-based approach to countryside development where the development efforts of stakeholders congregate. The “bayanicracy” concept of sustainable development is the core of this model where all stakeholders are actively involved. It has five components, namely: Bayanihan Pangkabuhayan (Livelihood), Bayanihan Pangkalikasan (Environment), Bayanihan Pangkakayahan (Capability-building), Bayanihan Pangkarangalan (Character Development), and Bayanihan Pangkalusugan (Health).
