The director of the SU Office of Community Engagement & Service-Learning was awarded the Outstanding Social Worker of the Philippines by the Philippine Association of Social Workers Inc. in ceremonies in Legazpi City.

Prof. Emervencia Ligutom was recognized for her “sustained effort in promoting transformative social work education for students’ life-long learning, producing social work leaders in the country.”

Ligutom, the only awardee from the Visayas, was one of the five social workers in the Philippines awarded by the professional group. She was nominated by PASWI Negros Oriental and Siquijor Chapter which she currently leads as its president.

After graduating in 1976, Ligutom started her career as a social worker at the SU Medical Center. After finishing her master’s degree at the University of the Philippines as a scholar of the UN International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), she returned to Silliman, and has been with the University for more than 30 years now.

“It makes me feel that I’m on the right track; I’m practicing my profession the way that I should, I’m serving people…with a sincere commitment, passion, and excellence…so it really makes me feel very happy,” Ligutom said of the recognition. (SU/OIP)
