Bilar Bohol Opposes Transfer of CVSCAFT
« on: September 16, 2009, 08:36:17 PM »
The move to convert the Central Visayas State College of Agriculture, Forestry and Technology (CVSCAFT) into a state university has encountered a snag due to the section on the transfer of the main campus from Bilar town to Tagbilaran.

 Resolution no. 073 of the Bilar municipal council requested Sen. Manuel Roxas III to retain the CVSCAFT main campus in the town whether the school is converted to a state university of not. It was passed unanimously last July 3.

 Sponsored by Councilor Henry Vidal, the resolution said the then Bohol Agricultural College (BAC) was elevated as the CVSCAFT main campus in 1998 by virtue of Republic Act 8569.

 Vidal noted that the school is strategically located and has an area of 89.53 hectares, a part of which is titled to BAC and a forest reserve and forest academic research area of 3,020 hectares suitable for all forms of expansion.

 The resolution added that the Bilar campus is the only main campus of a state college offering Agriculture and Forestry courses in Region 7 and is the center of national researches in coconut, vermin-culture and jatropha.

 It pointed out that the Tagbilaran campus is merely offering technology courses offered by other established schools in the city and the region.

 The resolution also stressed that there was no consultation done in the transfer of the main campus to Tagbilaran with its conversion into a state university.

 In response, the Bohol provincial board (PB) passed Resolution No. 2009-447 strongly supporting the Bilar council resolution.

 The resolution, sponsored by Board Member Corazon Galbreath, said the PB is not opposed to the proposal to turn the CVSCAFT into a state university but is “strongly opposed to the manner by which it is being facilitated”.

 A former Bilar mayor, Galbreath said she found it “appalling” that under the proposed bill, the main campus of the new state university shall be transferred to Tagbilaran despite the objection of the municipality of Bilar .

 Mayor Fanuel Cadeliña said the town has “all the reasons to claim the retention of the main campus of the CVSCAFT in Bilar.

 In his letter to Vice Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera, Roxas revealed that House Bill No. 5638 entitled “An Act Converting the (CVSACFT), its units and satellite campuses in the City of Tagbilaran and in the municipalities of Bilar, Candijay, Clarin, Calape and Balilihan, all located in the Province to be Known as the Bohol Island State University (Bisu) and Appropriating Funds Therefore” was passed by the Senate on third and final reading last Aug. 18.

 HB 5638 was filed in the Senate last Feb. 16 with Bohol solons Edgar Chatto, Roberto Cajes and Adam Relson Jala and Representatives Cynthia Villar and Junie Cua as authors.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

CVSCAFT should speak with one clear voice-Rep. Chatto

Rep. Edgar Chatto has urged the administration, faculty and stakeholders of the Central Visayas State College of Agriculture, Forestry and Technology (CVSCAFT) System to speak with one clear, firm voice on the conversion of the school into the first and only state university in Bohol.

They know more of their school and its strength to qualify for what could soon be the Bohol Island State University (BISU), said Chatto in an exclusive interview, he being the principal author of the House bill raising CVSCAFT to a university status.

The Bohol legislator who is the vice chairman of Congress’ education committee could only hope that the CVSCAFT family would speak as one amid just very recent discordant notes over the transfer of the main campus from Bilar to Tagbilaran City once BISU is established.

Chatto has shared the dream of the CVSCAFT community, Gov. Erico Aumentado and Reps. Roberto Cajes and Adam Relson Jala in making university education accessible to as many Boholanos, particularly the young ones who are children of lowly families.


The CVSCAFT System has campuses in Bilar, Tagbilaran City, Calape, Clarin, Balilihan and Candijay.


The original draft of the state university bill had the main campus retained in Bilar, but the idea of a new main campus in the city was pushed by the CVSCAFT System Board of Trustees (BOT) led by the chairman of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Administrative Council, college directors and heads of the campuses.


In the 89th Administrative Council Meeting in Clarin Campus on January 4-5, 2007, the CVSCAFT pushed for the main campus in Tagbilaran City, not in Bilar, on account of the move for a state university.


The BOT met also in Clarin Campus on May 20-21, 2008, this time passing BOT Resolution No. 23, Series of 2008, which approves the Bohol Island State University as the official name of CVSCAFT once it is converted into a state university.


Long before the BISU bill was filed, the BOT passed Resolution No. 47, Series of 2003, transferring the seat of operations of the CVSCAFT System to Tagbilaran City Campus. This transpired in the BOT Meeting in Siquijor on August 15, 2003.


MAIN CAMPUS IN CITY REAFFIRMED
Following the sudden dissenting notes on the main campus transfer, Chatto called the attention of CVSCAFT System president Dr. Elpidio Magante to address the concern in their level in the CVSCAFT.

In its 44th BOT Meeting at Bohol Tropics last August 20, the CVSCAFT reaffirmed its position to have the main campus transferred to the city.

Magante said it is the desire of the Board of Trustees to have the main campus in the city as stated in the BOT resolution transferring the CVSCAFT System president’s office and administrative workforce to the city campus.

Board trustee and NEDA Regional Dir. Marlene Catalina Rodriguez stressed the strategic location of the city campus “which should be accepted by the faculty of the Bilar Main Campus and everybody for efficiency of service.”

Trustee Argeo Melisimo favored the same on ground that it is operationally viable. He cited the technology development in Bohol, specifically the fiber optic connection in the city which gives the capital of the province advantages over Bilar, an interior town.


Melisimo also said the board is supportive of the equitable allocation and distribution of resources to the campuses under the state university system.


Trustee Avelina Escudero said they in the Bilar Campus faculty have understood and accepted the fact that the existing main campus “could not surpass” the city campus as the main campus, according to the minutes of the latest BOT meeting.


Escudero sits in the BOT as president of the Faculty Association of the CVSCAFT- Main Campus in Bilar.


She clarified that they just want equitable allocation of resources, especially due share to the Bilar campus, once the state university status is attained.


Magante said he had repeatedly mentioned the university status application---with CVSCAFT-Tagbilaran as main campus---during meetings of the faculty, employees, Supreme Student Government, Administrative Council which is composed of all college directors, and in school programs.


Dr. Magante revealed in an interview that the Bohol solons led by Chatto filed the BISU bill by reasons of the appeal of the school (CVSCAFT System) administration.


He added that the governor strongly backed the CVSCAFT want for the state college’s conversion into a university also right at the start of the filing of the BISU bill.


The proposed transfer of the main campus was not a brainchild of the solons as attested by CVSCAFT high-level meeting records and as what some people would like to mislead the Boholanos and make them mistakenly believe, Magante further explained.


In fact, the governor lately met with Chatto and CVSCAFT System president during which the latter provided Aumentado and the congressman minutes of the CVSCAFT Board of Trustees (BOT) and Administrative Council (CA) meetings discussing the main campus transfer.


The governor then called the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) led by the vice governor in a separate ensuing meeting on the state university concern.


In the said meeting, the governor also explained his position on the usufruct term in the school use of the provincial lot, which he wanted to remain in the name of the province even if it is perpetually used by the school.


They agreed on it in principle while the province is awaiting the memorandum of agreement with the state college and, soon, university.
