Bahian, with the extension project, titled “Retooling the 4th Infantry Division Philippine Army Instructors in Functional Literacy, Teaching Pedagogies, and Research,” held on May 4-6, 2026, at the 4th Division Mentor Training School (4DTS).

The initiative implemented during the second semester of the 2025–2026 academic year focusing on upgrading the teaching capabilities of Philippine Army instructors.
