A delegation from North Eastern Mindanao State University (NEMSU)–Bislig Campus visited Davao Oriental State University (DOrSU) on November 9, 2026, to learn about the University’s practices in English teacher education and fabrication technology.
Led by Dr. Lorly P. Caperida, the delegation conducted benchmarking activities focused on DOrSU’s Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English (BSEd English) program and its fabrication laboratory.
The visiting delegation was welcomed by DOrSU President Dr. Roy G. Ponce, Dr. Jocelyn B. Arles, Dean of the Faculty of Teacher Education, and Dr. Nelson P. Pastolero, BSEd-English Program Head.

As part of the benchmarking activity, the delegation also toured the Materials Development and Innovation in Davao Oriental Fabrication Laboratory (MADE IN DAVLAB), a facility established in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry to support innovation and materials development. The visit gave the delegates a closer look at DOrSU’s facilities and initiatives in technological innovation.
The benchmarking activity provided an opportunity for both institutions to exchange insights on academic program implementation and research innovation. The NEMSU delegation also expressed appreciation for the warm reception and hospitality extended by DOrSU.
