Among the initial activities of NEU-CPS, in coordination with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), was an international webinar in commemoration on the 160th birth anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal on June, 2021. The said webinar spontaneously commended the contributions of our National Hero as CPS also conducted similar webinar on December, 2021 in commemoration to his 125th death anniversary. With the continued support of NHCP, and in collaboration with Hudyat (NEU official student publication), CPS launched a YouTube program entitled, Kasaysayan at Kulturang Pilipino, which premiered on September, 2021. The monthly program highlights the different aspects of Philippine history and its cultural appreciation.
