In the heart of Iloilo City, where the sun-kissed streets are lined with historic landmarks like San Agustin Church, a young working student named Jonalyn navigated the rhythms of life. Her days were a balancing act between work, studies, and the vibrant lifestyle that Iloilo had to offer.

The university maintains an active working student program and archives stories of student success to promote "Decent Work and Economic Growth" under its Sustainable Development Goals initiatives.
