APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Balamban is a first class municipality comprising of 28 barangays with a total of 
87,177 residents as of the 2015 Philippine Population Census. The town is home to 
thousands of skilled workers and is now considered the shipbuilding capital of the 
Philippines.
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 known as the Cebu Technological University (CTU). 
Currently, CTU maintains its main campus In Cebu City and has nine (9) satellite campuses 
located in the municipalities of Argao, Barili, Carmen, Daanbantayan, Moalboal, San 
Francisco and Tuburan, and the city of Danao.
This proposed conversion of CTU-Balamban 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.
This bill seeks to convert Cebu Technological University (CTU) - Balamban 
Extension Campus Into a regular or satellite campus of CTU.
In line with the government's mandate to provide accessible and affordable college 
education, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
