KLD’s “Project C.L.E.A.N.”: Regal 100 Classes Lead the Way in Classroom Neatness

Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas has officially launched Project C.L.E.A.N. (Classroom Leadership in Environmental Accountability and Neatness) an initiative aimed at fostering discipline, responsibility, and a clean learning environment across the campus. This student-led program promotes leadership through cleanliness, with full support from faculty members. This directive originates from the Center for Emergency Management, Security and Safety-Climate Change Adaptation, Center for Academic Programming and Implementation, and Center for Physical Plant and Facilities Management. It establishes a framework for ensuring all classrooms are properly cleaned, arranged, and maintained after each class.

A key component of this initiative involves the Regal 100 classes, whose students are tasked with a practical performance which is to provide and decorate a cleaning cabinet for their assigned rooms. They are to be used for storing cleaning supplies, ensuring a tidy and organized space.
Initial feedback from the KLD Housekeeping Team has been overwhelmingly positive. They report that the implementation of these dedicated cleaning cabinets has proven to be highly effective in maintaining classroom cleanliness and organization. With cleaning materials now having their designated storage, the process of keeping classrooms neat has become more efficient, contributing to a more conducive learning environment for everyone. This initiative exemplifies KLD’s dedication to upholding a high standard of environmental accountability and neatness throughout its facilities.
KLD College Bldg.3 Nears Completion and other Key Facilities Ready for Occupancy

The KLD community is buzzing with anticipation as the construction of the new College Building 3 (CB3) rapidly moves toward its final stages. This major infrastructure project is a testament to the city’s commitment to quality higher education and is set to deliver state-of-the-art facilities that will significantly enhance the student learning environment.
According to the City Engineering Office, the entire CB3 project achieved an impressive 88% completion rate as of September. External works are largely concluded, with doors and windows now fully installed. Focus has decisively shifted to the interiors, where finishing touches, particularly the painting works, are actively underway. The major mechanical systems are also already in place with all air-conditioning units and the main elevator have been installed, bringing the building closer to operational readiness.
The new Registrar’s Office is set for guaranteed completion within the month of October. Partitions, paintworks, and main electrical installations are now finished. Security is ensured with the installation of doors and locksets, securing the important student files located in the vault room. Only the transaction window is pending delivery and installation, which is expected shortly.

Significant advancements have also been recorded in the specialized academic facilities. The Psychology Laboratory stands at 90% completion, with its wall partitions, paintworks, and all electrical works successfully finalized. This modern space features one-way mirrors, which have been installed to support advanced observational studies. Only the final doors are pending installation.

Progress in the technology area is equally strong. The Computer Laboratory has its wall partitions and paintworks completed. All major electrical works are finished, following a final inspection and meeting conducted with the ICDI Dean and the Laboratory Technician to confirm requirements. The remaining electrical works for the space are now ongoing and are expected to be finished within a one month period.

Finally, the Science Laboratory is being outfitted with necessary specialized utilities and safety systems. The Ducted Fume Hood Exhaust System, including the necessary ducting and the exhaust fan or blower, has been fully installed. Testing of this new exhaust system is scheduled to be conducted soon. Electrical works are completed, with all new convenience outlets terminated. Furthermore, plumbing works for the drain and waste system of the laboratory are ongoing, with concrete coring for pipes and emergency shower drains already accomplished. The KLD community eagerly anticipates the full commissioning of these advanced facilities.

This project is an investment in future excellence, providing students and faculty with the modern infrastructure they deserve. The entire KLD community looks forward to the turnover and full use of these facilities.
KLD Social Media Policy: Guiding Regals’ Voice Online
Recognizing the influential and pervasive nature of digital platforms in modern communication, KLD has officially rolled out its Social Media Policy. This document, drafted by the Public Affairs and Communication Unit, establishes principles and guidelines for the use of social media by KLD community, including students, faculty, administrators, and staff. The policy’s core aim is to cultivate a responsible, respectful, and secure online environment that reinforces the institution’s values.

For students, the policy strictly prohibits the sharing of others’ personal information without consent, the disclosure of confidential KLD information (like grades or internal policies), cyberbullying, hate speech, and defamation. Students expressing personal views should use a clear disclaimer. Violations may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension or expulsion.
For faculty and staff, the policy requires professional and respectful online behavior, with strict adherence to the confidentiality and privacy of student records and internal KLD data. Personnel who identify their KLD affiliation on personal accounts must include a disclaimer stating their views are their own. Prohibited conduct includes harassment, unauthorized disclosure, and hate speech. Violations can lead to disciplinary action up to termination of employment. This initiative is a step in establishing clear expectations for ethical digital citizenship and mitigating risks associated with misuse, including legal liabilities and reputational damage.

Wall of Fame

President’s Wall launches its new feature, the Wall of Fame, dedicated to showcasing outstanding awards, accomplishments, and institutional victories achieved by our students, faculty, and the College itself. It serves as both a source of pride and a powerful inspiration for everyone in the KLD community. For our first Wall of Fame feature, we shine the light on the successful implementation of the Cash-For-Work Program!

It is designed to offer temporary employment and career growth to eligible college graduates and currently enrolled students for the Academic Years 2023-2025. A total of 300 beneficiaries were targeted for the program at KLD: 200 college graduates and 100 college students.
