AN ACT
APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
BICOL UNIVERSITY EAST CAMPUS AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE
EDUCATION-SCHOOL FACILITIES INSIDE THE
BICOL UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, LEGAZPI CITY, ALBAY

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In line with the university‘s vision “A World-Class University Producing Leaders and

Change Agents for Social Transformation and Development”, the Bicol University needs to
develop and initiate a physical development plan that will cater the need of the institution
through campus development. Which is risk sensitive and climate change adaptive.

Physical facilities are the most potent determinant of high academic achievement of

students. Facilities in terms of qualifications of personnel, who are directly involved in the
pedagogy of teaching; academic and administration buildings, laboratory, library, students’
interactive learning centers are very crucial to high academic attainment. Hence, the college
shall provide adequate material resources to the faculty and students to enhance the teaching
and learning environment including support processes.

The need for new academic and administration buildings for almost of the East

Campus Unit arises due to the increasing demand as follows:

(a) The college has an average student population of 2300 per semester, 41 faculty,
and 32 non-teaching personnel. Ten (10) sub-offices need to be contained in a
general administration building to maintain effective and efficient delivery of its
functions under planning, organization, direction and control.

(b) In compliance with CHED requirements, the college plans to integrate in its
existing academic structure various graduate programs in order to provide
advanced academic degrees to both the faculty of the university and engineers
from the industry.


(c) In the clientele satisfaction survey results, students rated the quality of services
provided and personnel attitude as “Very Satisfactory” except for the
infrastructure and utilities. Classrooms, laboratory facilities, seminars/training
halls, sports facilities, and student lounge were rated “Satisfactory” while comfort
rooms were rated “fair”. In consonance with the University’s Vision, satisfactory
rating must be upscaled to “Very Satisfactory” with outstanding clientele
satisfaction.

(d) The Bicol University College of Engineering (BUCENG) is known as the home
of the topnotchers, and maintains an overall performance in the engineering board
examinations most higher than the national passing percentage, as gleaned below:

In order to maintain a highly motivated faculty in producing a critical mass of top
students, there is a need to provide well-equipped classrooms and laboratory facilities so as to
ensure competence based learning.

In view hereof, the bill seeks to provide funding for the implementation of the BU
East Campus Physical Development Plan that proposes to undertake a three-phased approach
for the construction/upgrading of physical facilities as a pillar of technological innovation,
technical expertise in ICT and other cutting edge disciplines. The Development Plan is
intended to benefit the Bicol University Engineering Department that houses the BUCENG
Administration and Support Staff, Faculty, Civil Engineering Department, Chemical
Engineering Department, Electrical Engineering Department, Geodetic Engineering
Department, Mechanical Engineering Department, and the Mining Engineering Department.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestl
