MMC - Criminology Action Force - CAF

What started as a simple outreach activity turned into a meaningful day of learning, sharing, and building connections with our adopted Dumagat community at Bitbit River, Norzagaray, Bulacan.

On May 16, 2026, the MS and BS Criminology Department of Metro Manila College, together with the Criminology Action Force (CAF), Community Extension Services Office (CESO), Office of Student Affairs (OSA), MMC Red Cross Youth Council (RCYC), faculty members, and students, came together to conduct an outreach program focused on community service and social involvement.

Through the distribution of relief goods, disaster preparedness awareness, and fellowship activities, we were given the opportunity not only to serve but also to listen, learn, and share moments with the community.

This activity would not have been possible without the support and participation of everyone who dedicated their time and effort. Thank you to all volunteers, partners, and organizers for helping make this outreach program a memorable and meaningful experience.

Service becomes more meaningful when it creates genuine connections. 💙

As part of the preparations for the upcoming outreach activity under the theme Social Orientation and Community Involvement, representatives from the MS and BS Criminology programs, together with the Directress of OSA and CES, led by Dr. Wennie Ann A. Cale, visited Bitbit River, Norzagaray, Bulacan on May 6, 2026. The visit was conducted to assess the area and ensure its readiness for the upcoming program.
