USLS conducts Korean Language Program with Kyungpook National University

The University of St. La Salle (USLS), in partnership with Kyungpook National University (KNU), conducted a Korean Language Program from May 11 to 22, 2026, at Cody Hall. The program brought together high school and college students, faculty, and staff interested in learning the Korean language.

As part of the continuing partnership between USLS and KNU, the initiative supports efforts to expand international learning opportunities and strengthen cross-cultural engagement within the Lasallian community.

Throughout the program, participants attended six-hour daily sessions focused on developing foundational communication skills in Korean through speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Lessons introduced beginner-level Korean through practical conversations, everyday vocabulary, and common expressions while also providing insights into Korean customs, etiquette, and daily life.

The sessions utilized “Everyday Korean for International Students’ Families”, a course textbook developed through the Daegu Regional Innovation System & Education (RISE) Project, a South Korean initiative that promotes regional development through collaboration among universities, local governments, and industries.

Pair work and small group activities were also incorporated to encourage active participation and practical language use in classroom settings.

Reflecting USLS’ continued commitment to internationalization and global learning, the Korean Language Program provided participants with opportunities to engage with both language and culture.

The 302nd Infantry Battalion has released details of a clash between troopers of the 15th Infantry Battalion based in Cauayan town and remains of the Communist New People's Army.

𝐍𝐏𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬; 𝟓 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐬 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡

Five (5) Communist New People’s Army (NPA) Terrorists (C**s) died following a series of armed encounters that transpired between the “Molave Warriors” of the 15th Infantry Battalion, under 302nd Infantry “Achiever” Brigade, and the remnants of the South-West Front, Komiteng-Rehiyon Negros (SWF, KR-N), in the hinterlands of Brgy. Abaca and Brgy. Poblacion, Cauayan, Negros Occidental on Friday, May 16, 2026.

As the troops overran the encounter site, they recovered several high-powered fi****ms, including M60 machine gun, M16 rifles, M14 rifle, M203 gr***de launcher, hand gr***de, and other war materiel.

Residents in Cauayan have increasingly cooperated with authorities by providing information on the presence and movement of armed communist remnants hiding in remote areas.

“The continued collapse of communist terrorist formations in Negros reflects the growing rejection of violent armed struggle by communities once exploited through intimidation, extortion, deception, and fear.” Brigadier General Jumawan, Commander, 302nd Brigade said. Moreover, he said that this encounter further exposes the deteriorating condition of the dismantled SWF whose remaining members continue to suffer heavy losses, dwindling manpower, and declining support from local residents.

Meanwhile, the Brigade Commander emphasized that military operations remain focused on protecting civilians and preventing the remnants of the communist terrorist movement from re-establishing influence in vulnerable communities. On the other hand, he reiterated the government’s call for remaining rebels to surrender peacefully and avail themselves of reintegration programs before more lives are lost in a collapsing insurgency already rejected by the people. “It’s unfortunate that many lives were lost, but the troops had to defend the community who are victims of the Communist Terrorist Group’s (CTG’s) senseless killings by “spy-tagging” innocent civilians.”
