EXPLANATORY NOTE
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.
In order to achieve the mission of CTU to provide advanced professional and 
technical instruction for special purposes, advanced studies in industrial trade, 
agriculture, fishery, forestry, aeronautics and land-based programs, arts and sciences, 
health sciences, information technology, and other relevant fields of study, there is a 
need to further expand the university. Establishing satellite campuses In Toledo City and 
the municipality of Asturias will further serve the youth and booming industries in said 
localities and, ultimately, contribute in fulfilling the State policy of providing access to 
quality tertiary education for all.
Toledo is a third class city with a population of 170,335 per the 2015 Philippine 
Population Census. It is the only city located in the western side of Cebu and is best 
known for its enormous mining industry. The prosperous economy of Toledo City also 
supports the trade, agriculture, and fisheries sectors.
Asturias is a third class municipality with a total population of 47,857 per the 2015 
Philippine Population Census. Its residents primarily rely on agriculture and fisheries. The 
town is also home to several industries producing limestone and cement.
Establishing satellite campuses of CTU in Toledo City and the municipality of 
Asturias will be very beneficial to the youth of said localities by saving Immensely on 
transportation, board and lodging, and other tangential costs.
This proposed establishment of CTU campuses will harness the human resources 
of said localities and promote inclusive growth and development. In line with the


government's mandate to provide accessible and affordable college education, the 
passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
