Last November 9, 2019, FOCUS BCC had started planning for the Christmas Station ID of Batangas State University. The organization had been tapped by the Human Resource Office to make the first ever Station ID. From November 11 to November 15, 2019, the members of the organization roamed to the different campuses of BatStateU to shoot for the AVP and also for the BatStateU Profile and Strategic Planning of the President. After all the shootings, the members together with their adviser, stayed overnight in the school to edit the 3 videos they are working on. There is some delay that happened because of the overlapping schedule of the students in their classes but in the end, On December 6, 2019, the AVP was launched at the lighting of the Christmas tree in the university park and on the tower of wisdom. It shows that FOCUS BCC is not just for photo and video coverages but also they can serve the university with the talents and passion they have.

During the Enhanced Community Quarantine, FOCUS BCC conducted their 3rd Photo Exhibit entitled, “Keep Going; A Gallery of Hopes: Life, Community and Self”. This photo exhibit was done through online because of the unfavorable circumstances happening. The members of the organization submitted their 5 best photo that showcase hope. After the submission, officers screened the photos by giving a like or reaction on the photos. After the screening, the photos were posted online through the Facebook page of FOCUS. All the photos are up for bidding in which all the proceeds of the exhibit will be given to the chosen beneficiary of organization which are the farmers from all over Pangasinan, Tarlac and Misamis Oriental. #BayanihanParaSaMagsasaka is a bayanihan program for our unsung heroes. We strongly believe that people who till the land to provide food for the rest of the country should never go hungry. The organization has collected the bid amounting to Seventeen Thousand Six Hundred Pesos (Php 17, 600.00), all of the fund collected on the exhibit will be donated to our farmers. FOCUS BCC, in its last activity, shows that we don’t just take photos, we care.
