The proposed conversion will promote inclusive growth and development 
which will encourage the expansion of its services and facilities in order to 
provide quality education to more students of the City of Cavite. An affordable 
college for high school graduates of the Province of Cavite will give more 
opportunities for learning and acquire technical skills in both tertiary and 
postgraduate levels.  
Once converted into regular campus, CvSU - Cavite City Campus will now 
have regular fund allocation to be able to offer more courses and accommodate 
the ever- growing population of students not only in the City of Cavite, but also 
in the neighboring municipalities of Cavite. This will enable the young people of 
Cavite to finish their studies and afford them the opportunity of improving their 
status in life.  
In line with the State's policy to provide access to qualify tertiary 
education for all, immediate approval of this bill is earnestly requested.
