The preparations for the SUC III Olympics at TAU are marked by meticulous planning and thorough coordination. Ms. Yolanda F. Juan, Chief Administrative Officer and OIC Vice President for Finance and Administration, provided insights into the extensive efforts to guarantee the safety and security of all delegates.

We can confidently say that TAU is prepared to host another regional sports event," Ms. Juan shared.
With the issuance of the office memorandum establishing the working committees, each committee promptly convened to identify various scenarios that would guide their planning and preparations.

Such collaborations are crucial to ensure adequate sports venues and lodging accommodations for all participants.

The university’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (DRRMC) is well-prepared to handle health and safety issues, having activated the Incident Command System. This system includes trained emergency responders among TAU’s employees who are ready to address emergencies. "Their safety is also our foremost concern," Ms. Juan emphasized. Additionally, there is ongoing coordination with the medical teams of each participating SUCs to enable a swift and coordinated response in the event of accidents, whether on the field or within the participants' quarters. This comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of safety and well-being are addressed.
The SUC III Olympics rely heavily on community involvement. TAU's interaction with local stakeholders demonstrates its commitment to becoming more than just an educational institution; it is also a key player in regional development and multisectoral activities.
