The Office of the Ombudsman, Regional Office VI, conducted the Integrity Development and Leadership Seminar for Campus Integrity Crusaders (CIC) at the Central Philippines State University (CPSU) Main Campus on January 28, 2026.

Student leaders from various organizations, including the Supreme Student Government (SSG) and the Future Leaders of the Philippines (FLP) from the Main and Cauayan Campuses, participated in the seminar.
