abstract = {By virtue of Republic Act 7722, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) of the Philippines
requires higher education institutions such as State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) to react to the
need for societal reform. Educational institutions have a powerful role to play in improving the
community's quality of life by sharing their knowledge, skills, best practices, and material resources.
This is one of the purposes of the academy, which uses its experience and knowledge to benefit the
public. This leads the researcher to investigate the community extension program of Isabela State
University which aims to provide resources for teaching civic responsibility and compassion and
determine the effects of the five-year community extension program of the University between
January 2009 and December 2015. Several livelihood programs were introduced to the two adopted
Barangays in Bitabian, San Mariano, Isabela, and Sta. Cruz, Benito Soliven, Isabela. The research
design used in the study is descriptive and a modified survey instrument was used to determine the
impact of the livelihood programs introduced to the adopted Barangays. Based on the findings, there
had been a moderate improvement in community in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Because they had benefited from the livelihood initiatives, most of the respondents rated the impact
of the programs highly. Moreover, the extension respondents’ profile in terms of civil status,
educational attainment, occupation and gross monthly income are not factors on the perceived impact
of the livelihood programs. It is also noted that the participants who participated regularly showed
superior long-term outcomes and used the livelihood program as their source of living},
