In the morning of September 2, 2019, 13 people from the Seventh Infantry “Tapat” Battalion (7^th IB) and University of Southern Mindanao (USM) headed out on a mission.

After almost an hour of travel from Kabacan, the team boarding KM250 and M35 vehicles headed by LTC Neil Alfonso K. Camsa INF (GSC) PA of 7^th IB and Dr. Francisco Gil N. Garcia of USM reached Langayen. Being the farthest barangay in the municipality of Pikit, Langayen used to be a war-torn area in this part of North Cotabato. Just another few minutes and they had finally reached their destination: Langayen-ZT Hamid High School (LZHHS).

The University of Southern Mindanao once again produced a topnotcher, 18 new veterinarians, and 28 new nutritionist-dietitians from two licensure exams conducted this month.

Jan Clyden B. Tenorio ranked fourth in the August 2019 Veterinarian Licensure Examination given by the Board of Veterinary Medicine of the Phillipine Regulation Commission (PRC). With a rating of 84.90%, Tenorio, the former USM student regent, led the 18 new veterinarians produced by the USM College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) which registered a passing rate of 47.37%.
