BRIEF HISTORY OF SOUTHERN LUZON STATE UNIVERSITY

(Adapted from SLSU Records Management Manual, 2016; SLSU Medium-Term
Development Plan 2016-2020, 2016)
An institution of higher learning in the province of Quezon, Southern Luzon State

University (SLSU) has a rich history from its humble beginnings leading to its present
status with a vision to become a 21st century university. The university started as the
Lucban Municipal Junior High School (LMJHS), the first public school in Lucban, Quezon
on August 3, 1964. The establishment of the LMJHS was made possible through the efforts
of the town people of Lucban, Quezon. On April 15, 1964, they submitted a petition for
the opening of a secondary school which was supported by Municipal Resolution No. 58
dated April 20, 1964. On July 24, 1964, the then Assistant Secretary of education, Miguel
B. Gaffud approved the establishment of the LMJHS. This government-run school started
with two hundred ninety-eight (298) students, eleven (11) teachers and two employees with
Mr. Angelo Q. Peña as its head teacher. The classes were held in a two-storey building
owned by Mr. Jacinto Villalon, located at the corner of Rizal Avenue and Gil Rada Streets
and at the Municipal Hall. With the objective of providing education for the people of
Lucban, the Sangguniang Bayan passed Municipal Resolution No. 18, s. 1965 on January
18, 1965 allowing the acquisition of 4.9176 hectares of land situated in Brgy. Kulapi,
Lucban, Quezon to be the site of LMJHS. On May 24, 1965, LMJHS was renamed Lucban
Municipal High School (LMHS) by virtue of Resolution No. 86, s. 1965 which was
approved by the Director of Public Schools, Mr. Vitaliano Bernardino.

The school’s first Commencement Exercises was

held on April 28, 1967 at the site’s makeshift stage
with 89 graduates. The guest speaker was Doña
Josefa Edralin Marcos. Following this achievement
was the construction of two units of pre-fab building
with six (6) classrooms. Such undertaking was
initiated by the then Mayor Hobart R. Dator,
Governor Anacleto C. Alcala, Congressman Manuel
S. Enverga and Mr. Pedrito Villa.
The infrastructure development beckoned the

establishment of Lucban Community College (LCC)
by virtue of Republic Act (RA) 2530 passed on June
14, 1968. Evening and Saturday classes were
conducted to accommodate college students. After
such milestone, Lucban School for Philippine
Craftsman (LSPC) opened on July 1, 1970 offering
vocational courses, paralleled to the mission of the
LMHS and LCC. Unfortunately, the courses offered
First Commencement Exercises. © Denden Jardin by LSPC was deferred fourteen (14) days later
through Provincial Board Resolution No. 540.
In 1972, another highlight was etched in the history of the school as LMHS and LSPC was
merged and became Lucban National High School (LNHS) by virtue of RA 4345,
otherwise known as the Merger Law. On July 19, 1874, the LNHS, Craftsman Branch was
established in Barangay Guinhawa, Quezon, Quezon in Alabat Island.
On August 30, 1977, the LNHS became Lucban National College (LNC) with Mr. Angelo
Q. Peña as the Acting President.

To pursue traversing accomplishments that enhanced its rich history, twenty (20)
assemblymen of the Southern Tagalog Regions sponsored Parliamentary Bill No. 173
which called for the conversion of LNC to a state college. On February 8, 1982, President
Ferdinand E. Marcos signed Batas Pambansa No. 145 converting Lucban National College
into a state college named as Southern Luzon Polytechnic College (SLPC). Mr. Angelo Q.
Peña remained as the Acting President until he was substituted by Dr. Palmero C. Salvacion
in the latter part of 1986 as Officer-in-Charge. Dr. Ernesto de Chavez became the next
College President who served from 1987-1990. As SLPC continued to flourish, several
campuses were established under the leadership of Dr. Joselito B. Jara, who was the
College President from 1990-2002. The following are the campuses established under
various Board Resolutions: SLPC Polilio through Board of Regents (BOR) Resolution No.
19, s. 1992, SLPC Alabat through BOR Resolution 43, s. 1992 and SLPC Sampaloc under
BOR Resolution No. 26, s. 1993. In 1993, SLPC Infanta was opened while SLPC Lucena
started to offered dual-technical courses in 1996. On July 6, 2001, Judge Guillermo Eleazar
Polytechnic College was integrated to SLPC in consonance with RA 7722 and RA 8292
and with the approval of the BOR through Resolution No. 325, s. 2001, which was named
as Southern Luzon Polytechnic College-Judge Guillermo Eleazar (SLPC-JGE).
On May 13, 2002, Dr. Cornelio D. Equires was elected as College President through BOR
Resolution No. 376, s. 2002. His leadership was embraced in a short period from May 13,
2002 to February 20, 2004 due to illness. Dr. Cecilia N. Gascon served as the Officer-in-
Charge which was later on upgraded to Acting President by the virtue of BOR Resolution
No. 471, s. 204. The appointment of Dr. Gascon as Acting President was reconfirmed by
the BOR through its Resolution No. 490, s. 2004 for the unexpired term of Dr. Esquieres.
Under her management the SLPC Tiaong Campus was established in 2005. In 2006, she
was appointed as full-fledged President of the SLPC by the virtue of BOR Resolution No.
556, s. 2006.
Adding another milestone for the stet college, Dr. Gascon together with the lawmakers
from Quezon, Congressman Rafael P. Nantes of the first district, Congressman Proceso J.
Alcala of the second district and Congressman Lorenzo R. Tañada II of the third district
initiated the conversion of SLPC into a state university. The congressmen authored House
Bill 3820 in December of 2006 and later became Substitute Bill No. 5977 through the co-
authorship of four 94) representatives, Hon Cynthia A. Villar, Hon. Harlin C. Abayon,
Hon. Joey S. Salceda, and Hon. Herminio G. Teves.
House Bill No. 5977 which was approved on February 8, 2007 marked a double celebration
as this coincided with SLPC’s 25th Charter Day Celebration. On March 17, 2007, RA 9395
was signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, converting the SLPC to
Southern Luzon State University (SLSU). Dr. Cecilia N. Gascon served as its first
University President.
The satellite campus in Gumaca was established in 2009, while extension classes in
Catanauan were opened in 2010 and extension classes in Calauag were opened in 2014.
Adding to SLSU’s achievements is the granting of ISO 9001:2008 Certificate by the
Certification International Philippines, Inc. on its four major services, namely: instruction,

research, extension, and production. Also, SLSU is identified by the Philippine Network
of Environmental Educators (PNEE) as a Dark Green School.
On May 11, 2015, Dr. Millo O. Placino was elected as President of the university with a
vision of transforming SLSU into a 21st century university. Through his leadership, the
SLSU Tayabas Extension Campus was made possible through the virtue of the BOR
Resolution No. 1218, s. 2017.
Over the years, the graduates of SLSU have exhibited academic excellence, as the
University has been recognized by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as a
top-performing school in the different professional licensure examinations, such as
Nursing, Agriculture, Education, Engineering and Forestry. In the last three years, SLSU
has consistently been at the top 10 in the board examinations on Mechanical Engineering,
Electronics Engineering, Master Electrician, Nursing, Midwifery, Forestry, and
Agriculture. SLSU’s College of Teacher Education and the Bachelor of Science in Forestry
Program of the College of Agriculture were awarded by the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) as Centers of Development. Just recently, SLSU was also granted the
ISO 9001:2015 certification.
The SLSU’s high quality teaching staff had also worked hard to provide the best for the
students and other clients. They exerted efforts to uplift the quality of the curricular
programs in the University by subjecting them to accreditation by the Accrediting Agency
of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP). All or 100% of its
graduate program offerings are, now, at various accreditation levels where 75% are Levels
1 and 2 accredited while 25% of the programs are already on candidate status.
At present, SLSU is considered to be one of the top performing universities in the Southern
Tagalog Region. It continues to excel in instruction, research and extension, and also
improve its technical operations and administration. SLSU’s achievements in the past
years show that it can continue to zoom up to become one of the best universities in the
country.
SLSU CHARTER (RA 9395)
As mentioned earlier, on March 17, 2007, RA 9395 was signed into law by President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, converting the SLPC to Southern Luzon State University (SLSU).
Republic Act No. 9395 is an act converting the Southern Luzon Polytechnic College in the
municipality of Lucban, province of Quezon, its units and satellite campuses in the
municipalities of Sampaloc, Infanta, Polillo, Tagkawayan, Alabat and Tiaong, and the
Lucena Dual-Tech Livelihood and Training Center in the City of Lucena, all in the
province of Quezon, into a state university to be known as the Southern Luzon State
University (SLSU) and appropriating funds therefor.
The said law mandates the university to “primarily provide advanced education,
professional, technological instruction in the fields of allied medicine, education,

engineering, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, environment, arts and sciences, accountancy,

cooperative, business and entrepreneurship, technology and other relevant fields of study.
It shall also undertake research and extension services and provide progressive leadership
in its areas of specialization” (Sec. 2).

OTHER PERTINENT LAWS
1. Education Act of 1982 (Batas Pambansa Blg. 232)

This law was based on recommendations and findings of the Presidential Commission to
Study Philippine Education (PCSPE) which was created by Ferdinand Marcos in 1969. The
PCSPE reported that the educational system was then producing college graduates in
excess of what could be absorbed by the job market (Panopio & Raymundo, 2004). It also
reported that there was overinvestment in tertiary education. In short, the PCSPE
concluded that the Philippine Educational System was not responding to the demands of
the economy for national development. Education Act of 1982 states that everybody has
the rights to access for quality education in all levels.
As stated in the Section 4 of the law, the educational system aim to:
1. Provide for a broad general education that will assist each individuals in the peculiar
ecology of his own society, to:
a. attain his potentials as a human being;
b. enhance the range and quality of individual and group participation in the basic
functions of society; and
c. acquire the essential educational foundation of his development into a
productive and versatile citizen;
2. Train the nation's manpower in the middle-level skills for national development;
3. Develop the profession that will provide leadership for the nation in the advancement of
knowledge for improving the quality of human life; and
4. Respond effectively to changing needs and conditions of the nation through a system of
educational planning and evaluation.
Towards the realization of these objectives, and pursuant to the Constitution, all
educational institutions shall aim to inculcate love of country, teach the duties of
citizenship, and develop moral character, personal discipline, and scientific, technological,
and vocational efficiency. Furthermore, the educational system shall reach out to
educationally deprived communities, in order to give meaningful reality to their
membership in the national society, to enrich their civic participation in the community
and national life, and to unify all Filipinos into a free and just nation (Batas Pambansa Blg.
232, 1982, Sec. 2)
2. Higher Education Act of 1994 (RA 7722)

This legislation created the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) which will now
regulate the country’s higher education which was previously under the Department of

Education, Culture and Sports (DECS; now DepEd). As stated in the Section 3 of the law,
CHED shall be independent and separate from the DECS, and attached to the Office of the
President for administrative purposes only. Its coverage shall be both public and private
institutions of higher education as well as degree-granting programs in all post-secondary
educational institutions, public and private. It is headed by a Chairperson who has a
cabinet-rank level and four (4) Commissioners who are all appointed by the president.
Pursuant of RA 7722 (1994), CHED has a mission to promote relevant and quality higher
education at par with international standards and produces highly competent graduates and
professionals; ensure that quality higher education is accessible to all who seek it
particularly those who may not be able to afford it; guarantee academic freedom for
continuing intellectual growth, advancement of learning and research, development of
responsible and effective leadership, education of high level professionals, and enrichment
of historical and cultural heritages; and commit to moral ascendency
3. Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013(RA 10533)

This act aims to enhance the Philippine basic education system by strengthening its
curriculum and increasing the number of years for basic education. This has been popularly
dubbed as the “K to 12 curriculum” which means Kindergarten plus 12 years of basic
education – six years in primary, four years of Junior High School and two years of Senior
High School. The existing ten-year basic education (six years in primary and four years in
secondary) has changed when the K to 12 Program is implemented. It mandated the
additional two (2) years of senior high school. The Philippine government found a 10-year
program insufficient as period for learning. In fact, the Philippines is the last country in
Asia and one of only three countries worldwide with a 10-year pre-university cycle.
Section 5 of the law mandates DepEd to design the basic education curriculum in
coordination with CHED and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
(TESDA). The curriculum has shifted to become learner-centered, inclusive and
developmentally appropriate relevant, responsive and research-based; culture-sensitive;
contextualized and global; use pedagogical approaches that are constructivist, inquiry-
based, reflective, collaborative and integrative; and adhere to the principles and framework
of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE; RA 10533). Along with the
implementation of this law is the shift to outcomes-based education (OBE).
4. Universal access to Quality Tertiary Education Act of 2017(RA 10931)

This law is remarkably new signed by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in August 3, 2017. It
granted students in state universities and colleges (SUCs) and local universities and
colleges (LUCs), and technical-vocational institutions free tuition fee and other fees
provided that they pass the entrance examination and other admission and retention
requirements. This does not include private higher educational institutions (HEIs). The
existing enrollment procedures of schools shall be observed. This means that students will
have to go through the assessment procedure of the school to find out if they can be
accepted into the program/ course they intend to enroll. The law provides no collection
(free) for services like library, computer, laboratory, school ID, athletic, entrance and

admission, development, guidance , handbook, , medical and dental, cultural and arts and
other similar or related fees.
However, Section 6 of the law provides that students who have already attained a bachelor's
degree or comparable undergraduate degree (i.e., vocational degree); those who fail to
comply with the admission and retention policies; and those who fail to complete their
bachelor's degree or comparable undergraduate degree within a year after the period
prescribed in their program shall be ineligible of to avail the provisions of this law (RA
10931). Also, the number of students to be accepted shall depend on the carrying capacity
and the budget allotted for the school.
