AN INTENSITY 7.2 earthquake shook the municipality of Carmen in Bohol province 8:00 morning of October 15, 2013. As of 2:00pm, a total of 19 aftershocks were recorded by Philvolcs along Carmen and Tagbilaran City. Parts of Cebu City also felt the brunt of the tremors. Both public and private aid agencies have still yet to determine the extent of devastation on the infrastructure and its effects on the residents.
Nevertheless, we are issuing this call for Lasallians to extend assistance to the survivors of this disaster incident. Donations of cash and check will be appreciated since we are still finalizing the details of the One Lasalle Relief effort to be led by the De La Salle Philippines (DLSP).
DLSU initiates waste management program called the GreenT

Proceeds of the sale will be deposited in the GreenT Program Account and will be used to fund activities and projects for the benefit of contracted personnel (i.e. janitors, security guards, gardeners, waiters, etc.).
Students can support the program by simply disposing of the PET bottles and aluminum cans, especially the ones consumed outside the University, in the designated trash bins placed around the campus.
