HISTORY
Bicol University Gubat Campus is the only academic unit of Bicol University outside the province of Albay. It is situated in the municipality of Gubat, province of Sorsogon. It's roots and humble beginnings can be trace to the initiative of local government unit of Gubat in its desire for quality and accessible tertiary education to their constituents.
Having seen the merits of the graduates from the extension program earlier implemented and observing the necessity for an undergraduate program that will serve the yearly turnout of high school graduates from the secondary schools of at least four (4) adjacent towns in the area wherein more than fifty (50) percent fail to reach college because of financial inadequacy. Confident of instructional facilities that can be provided by the local government, officials and residents of the Municipality of Gubat, Sorsogon, the local government unit of Gubat, headed by Mayor Deogracias B. Ramos, petitioned the Board of Regents of the Bicol University to open a university campus in said Municipality.
The Bicol University Board of Regents then through Resolution No. 29 series of 1996, approved the establishment of Bicol University Gubat Extension Program (BUGEP) with the condition that the implementation of the program will not entail additional cost to the University and the university having the capacity through its faculty complement to pursue the program.
Said Board Resolution provided the basis of the formulation and signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Bicol University and the local government of Gubat. This agreement formalized the opening of the Bicol University Gubat Extension Program (BUGEP), where the local government, during the affectivity of the contract bears responsibility for providing budgetary requirements of the program and the university takes care of all the responsibility of all the academic necessities.
As early as May 1997, preparations for the enrollment of those who qualified in the admission examinations and the class assignments were being arranged on June 13, 1997, coinciding with the fiesta celebration of the town and the time for the presence of education-minded successful citizens of the Municipality, through simple ceremonies, the Campus was formally opened to the public. And in June 23, 1997, the first day of classes commenced.
In December 2009, R.A. 9860 was signed by the Philippine President as sponsored by Congressman Jose Solis which formally integrates the Bicol University Gubat Extension Program (BUGEP) to Bicol University as one of its campuses bearing a new name as the “ Bicol University Gubat Campus (BUGC)”

Alumni
The scribe of this Testimony is a young man who dreams of success in life. He intends to resolutely strive and pursue despite odds for the realization of his existential dreams.
I am Lorenzo P. Domanais Jr., the afore-cited scribe and young man of great idealism. I was born on May 7, 1993 and hail from Prieto Diaz, Sorsogon.
In the year 2006, I graduated Class Valedictorian from Gogon Elementary School. I obtained my secondary diploma from the Prieto-Diaz National High School and graduated with honors. It was in the Bicol University Gubat Campus, my dearest alma mater, where I took up Bachelor of Agricultural Technology and graduated cum laude on March 2014.
During my University freshman days, I was attending daily academic tasks with diligence and enthusiasm. Indeed I wanted to focus on my field of specialization as an agriculture student. I was elected Class President as well as Representative of freshmen. At the end of the academic year, I was one of the honorific awardees and awarded academic achiever. Persistently I focused on academics during my sophomore days. Consequently, I placed Third then First in the Dean's List on the first and second semester of academic year 2011-12 respectively. I graduated with Best in Practicum Award in Diploma in Agricultural Technology.
The search and thirst for knowledge and the passion to see baccalaureate diploma hanging on the wall, so to speak, are the motives which boosted my resolve to enroll in the junior year. In the same academic year 2012-13, I was awarded Best in Academics and placed First in the Dean's List.
The efforts and strivings during the penultimate and ultimate years of academic studies were untiringly sustained by herein scribe and young man of dreams. On the day of the Commencement Exercises, I was awarded Best in Occupational Internship and conferred cum laude graduate of Bachelor of Agricultural Technology. On March 31, 2014, I graduated with honors then with baccalaureate general weighted average of 1.41.
After graduation, I thought of trying to “wade through the rough sea of human existence.” First and foremost, I ventured to take the Licensure Examination for Agriculturist (LEA). Verily, the blessings of the “Uncaused Cause” exist because I passed said exams! I am now a registered Agriculturist with license number 0019932 and a career service eligible with license number 100105140242.
Work experience wise, I began working as Guest Professorial Lecturer in Bicol University Gubat Campus on April 7, 2014 to date. I worked as Farm Manager at Severosa farm for three (3) months. On several occasions, I attended seminars and trainings which are relevant to my expertise. Said work experience and seminars trained and molded the Homo sapiens in me into an efficient and effective human person. Currently, I am enrolled at the Bicol University College of Agriculture and Forestry Graduate School. I intend to finish my Master's Degree specializing in Animal Science then eventually take up a Doctoral Degree.
Subjectively, I am lucky to be hired as college teacher. It being an opportunity for me to be part of the learning process and holistic human development of young learners. Quality education is the key to attain the goals in life. It fuels the flame of dreams and ambitions in the hearts and minds of the students. Education allows everyone to dream and creatively imagine of the means to live meaningfully. I recall the renowned line: “Shoot at the stars and you will surely land on the moon.”
After years of “burning the midnight candles” and the efforts of undergoing the academic training in this University, I will practice and exemplify the ideals and theories I learned. I commit to do the same for the sake of public beneficence and in the name of my alma mater, the Bicol University Gubat Campus!
