AN ACT 
CONVERTING THE MALABUYOC EXTENSION CAMPUS OF THE CEBU TECHNOLOGICAL 
UNIVERSITY (CTU) IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF MALABUYOC, PROVINCE OF CEBU, INTO 
A REGULAR CAMPUS OF THE CTU, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
With the enactment of Republic Act No. 9744, in 2009 the Cebu State College of Science 
and Technology in Cebu City and all of its campuses in the Province of Cebu was converted into 
a state university and was named as the Cebu Technological University (CTU).  At the time of its 
conversion to a state university, CTU was composed of its main campus in Cebu City and had 
nine (9) satellite campuses in the Province of Cebu. 
Through the years, and in answer to the growing population of Cebu, CTU established 
several extension campuses in different parts of Cebu.  Likewise, several campuses became 
regular or satellite campuses through the enactment of several laws converting or establishing 
such regular or satellite campuses. 
CTU Malabuyoc Extension Campus, located in the Municipality of Malabuyoc, was one of 
the extension campuses established by CTU.  The Municipality of Malabuyoc is a fast growing 
fifth class municipality in the southwestern part of Cebu.  It is composed of 14 barangays and has 
19,770 residents as of the 2020 Philippine Population Census. 
The proposed conversion of CTU Malabuyoc Extension Campus into a regular or Satellite 
Campus will further enhance its capability to provide quality tertiary education through the 
expansion of its sources of funds.  Moreover, this will ensure its growth as a center for tertiary 
education not only in Malabuyoc but in adjacent municipalities. More importantly, this bill, if

enacted, into law, will give flesh to the constitutional mandate that the state, establish and maintain 
a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant to national development goals. 
.For these reasons there is an urgent necessity to convert the CTU Malabuyoc Extension 
Campus into a regular or satellite campus of CTU.  Hence, the passage of this bill is earnestly 
requested.
