Introduced by Representative PABLO JOHN F. GARCIA

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to recognize Cebu Technological University (CTU) -
Pinamungajan Extension Campus as one of the satellite campuses of CTU, in line with
the government's mandate to provide accessible and affordable college education.

Pinamungajan is a second class municipality comprised of 26 barangays where
65,955! Cebuanos are residing. The town is home to thousands of skilled workers and
is rapidly becoming the agricultural-industrial center of western Cebu.

In 2009, Republic Act No. 9744 converted the Cebu State College of Science
and Technology System in Cebu City and all of its satellite campuses in the Province
of Cebu into a state university and was hence known as the Cebu Technological
University. Currently, CTU maintains its main campus in Cebu City and has nine (9)
satellite campuses located in the local government units of Argao, Barili, Carmen,
Daanbantayan, Danao, Moalboal, San Francisco and Tuburan.

The conversion of CTU-Pinamungajan into a satellite campus will expand its
capacity to provide quality tertiary education and increase the resources available to
ensure its operations, consistent with the constitutional mandate establishing and
maintaining a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education relevant to the
goals of national development.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is eamestly sought.
