The Office of Extension and External Relations (OEER) seeks to fulfill the CMC’s mission “to develop and strengthen linkages with different sectors and institutions for information and media literacy, and people empowerment;” and “to provide the critical voice that promotes and safeguards the freedom, independence and responsibility of media.”

The realization of this mission rests on the attainment of identified goals, like the establishment of linkages outside academe through outreach and other activities focusing on communication- and media-related issues in Philippine society as well as programs that promote the media ideals of the college. The OEER is hereby organized to establish, maintain, and upgrade these and related programs.
