This community service activity aimed to enhance students' technical skills in database management using XAMPP, an open-source platform that integrates Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin. The program was implemented through a hands-on training approach based on experiential learning, allowing participants to practice installation, configuration, and database management independently. The results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding of database concepts and their ability to operate XAMPP effectively. Beyond technical competencies, the program also fostered behavioral changes, increased technological awareness, and the emergence of local leaders among the participants. This initiative is expected to contribute to the development of a more adaptive and collaborative learning culture in response to advancements in information technology.

The Sauyunan Women Farmers Group and the Sabilulungan Farmers Group face obstacles in meeting the demand for quality banana seeds. They usually get banana seedling propagated conventionally with the consequence that production is not optimal because of many deficiencies. Moreover, their knowledge about banana pests and diseases and their management is still lacking. These challenges were answered by providing counseling and technology transfer of acclimatization of tissue culture banana seeds based on the concept of integrated pest and disease management. The programs was attended by 23 participants who were group members and a Field Instructor Officers of Tamansari District. Participants were given counseling on the economic potential of bananas, banana tissue culture seedling,  acclimatization, and types of banana pests and diseases and their management in an integrated manner.

Thus, participants were given insight and skills in responding to the supply of quality banana seeds needed in an effort to increase their income through this program.
