In a proactive move to strengthen institutional security and workplace integrity, the Commission on Higher Education – CAR (CHED-CAR) partnered with the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA-CAR) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) to conduct a Security Awareness Seminar for CHED-CAR employees.

Held on August 29, 2025, at the CHED-CAR Hall, the half-day seminar featured key discussions on Executive Order No. 608, s. 2007, led by NICA-CAR, focusing on the national security clearance system and data protection protocols for government personnel. PDEA also presented updates on the national drug situation, reinforcing the importance of maintaining a drug-free workplace.

The activity highlighted CHED-CAR’s commitment to inter-agency collaboration and continuous staff development in support of secure and accountable public service.
