ETEEAP information drive promotes lifelong learning to 202nd Infantry Brigade

Demonstrating a strong commitment to the personal and professional growth of its personnel, the 202nd Infantry (Unifier) Brigade conducted an Information Drive on the Expanded Tertiary Education Equivalency and Accreditation Program (ETEEAP) held at the Brigade Headquarters in Barangay West Talaongan, Cavinti, Laguna, May 17.

Dr. Henedina Lagumen, Dean of the College of Criminal Justice and Criminology, and Dr. Myracel Ramos, faculty member, both from Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) spoke at the information drive, emphasizing the University’s ongoing dedication to making quality education accessible and relevant particularly for sectors engaged in public service.

A total of 35 personnel from the Organic and OPCON units physically  attended the session, which showed the growing interest of active-duty soldiers in pursuing higher education. Meanwhile, troops from the 59th Infantry Battalion, 80th Infantry Battalion, and Task Force Ugnay (TFU) joined virtually, allowing the program to reach a wider audience across various units.

Through this initiative, the Brigade continues to support educational opportunities that recognize the training and experience of military personnel. By integrating the ETEEAP into their personal development goals, more soldiers are now positioned to earn accredited college degrees without leaving active service.
