AN ACT STRENGTHENING THE PANGASINAN STATE UNIVERSITY, 
PROVIDING FOR THE COMPOSITION AND POWERS OF ITS 
GOVERNING BOARD, PRESCRIBING ITS CURRICULAR OFFERINGS, 
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
The Pangasinan State University (PSU) was chartered through the issuance 
of Presidential Decree No. 1497 promulgated on June 11, 1978 and became 
operational on July 1, 1979. 
The PSU integrated the collegiate courses of five of the then  Department 
of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) supervised institutions in the Province of 
Pangasinan and all the programs of the then Central Luzon Teachers College 
(CLTC) and Western Pangasinan College of Agriculture (WPCA). 
The DECS institutions were: 
1. Asingan School of Arts and Trades (ASAT) in Asingan;
2. Eastern Pangasinan Agricultural College (EPAC) in Sta. Maria;
3. Pangasinan College of Fisheries (PCF) in Binmaley;
4. Pangasinan School of Arts and Trades (PSAT) in Lingayen; and
5. Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School (SEPNAS) in San
Carlos City
When the PSU started its operations in June 1979, it had two Colleges of 
Agriculture located in Municipality of Sta. Maria and the City of San Carlos; two 
College of Arts and Trades in the Municipalities of Lingayen and Asingan; a 
College of Education in Municipality of Bayambang; and a College of Fisheries in 
the Municipality of Binmaley. 
In 1981, the College of Agriculture in Infanta (then the Western Pangasinan 
College of Agriculture (created under Presidential Decree No.1494) was 
established. Arts and Science courses were also offered in the College of Education 
in Bayambang. 
It was the year 1983 that saw the opening of the College of Engineering and 
Technology in Urdaneta, as an extension campus of the College of Arts and 
Technology in Asingan. In 1987, the two campuses were integrated as the College 
of Engineering and Technology of the Asingan/Urdaneta Complex only to be 
separated again in 1989. 
On February 03, 2005, the PSU Board of Regents in its first regular meeting 
for CY 2005 held at the Office of the President, PSU Main, Lingayen, Pangasinan 
passed Resolution No. 07, s. 2005 approving the areal integration of PSU Urdaneta, 
PSU, Sta. Maria and PSU Asingan into the PSU Eastern Cluster. However, the 
experiment on the cluster was terminated in May 2008. PSU BOR Resolution No. 
13 dated May 28, 2008 dissolved the eastern cluster. The three campuses that

composed the cluster reverted back to their original status as autonomous 
campuses. 
In 2009, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of Alaminos has favorably 
endorsed and approved the establishment of Pangasinan State University Campus 
in the City of Alaminos as contained in Resolution No. 2007-84 adopted on 
November 16, 2007. 
Given the history of PSU, and considering the vast land area of the entire 
Pangasinan Province and its large population totaling 3,163,190 based from the 
2020 census of population, it is difficult for PSU to cater the needs of the rovince’ 
populace with only nine campuses operating versus the province’ total number of 
component cities and municipalities, hence, strengthening its charter and putting up 
additional campuses and programs are necessary to carry out its mandate in 
providing quality yet accessible public higher education. 
Currently, the PSU is operating with almost one thousand four  hundred 
(1,400) employees, including permanent, temporary, contractual, casual, contract 
of service and job orders. With more than thirty thousand students (30,000), the 
PSU is considered as the largest  SUC (state universities and colleges) in terms of 
population and land area in the entire Region 1. 
As we continuously fight the challenges brought about by COVID-19 
pandemic, and the transition to the new normal resulting from this, higher education 
institutions have to keep on innovating to survive and thrive,  in order to meet global 
workforce demand and the challenges of Education 4.0 as well. 
In view of this, approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
