On March 3, the Vietnamese students joined the key officials, faculty, and employees of Southern Luzon State University's Main Campus, as they showcased their colorful and traditional Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)-inspired outfits during SLSU’s flag ceremony on the first Monday of March, in line with the latest Civil Service Commission Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 16 and CSC Resolution No. 2400766, series of 2024 which sets the Revised Dress Code of Government Officials and Employees.

Following the flag ceremony, the Vietnamese students, accompanied by Dr. Joanna Paula E. Verano, visited the Office of the President. There, they were warmly welcomed by Dr. Frederick T. Villa, President of Southern Luzon State University, who also took the opportunity to introduce them to the university’s campus, offering insight into the institution’s facilities and its commitment to fostering international cooperation and cultural exchange.
