Tabaco Campus

  • History

    Bicol University Tabaco Campus(BUTC) traces its humble beginnings to Bicol School of Fisheries (BSF) in Tabaco, Albay, as founded in 1949 by the virtue of Republic Act No. 412, to offer Secondary Fishery Education to the Bicol Region.

    On June 22, 1963 pursuant to Republic Act No. 3651, it became the Bicol College of Fisheries. However, the opening of collegiate courses were deffered due to financial constraints. On September 22, 1969 by virtue of Republic Act No. 522, the college was incorported with the first state university in the Bicol Region, the Bicol University. It then became the College of Fisheries of the newly instituted university. Consequently, the College started offering baccalaureate degree in Fisheries in addition to diploma courses.

    Where it all began…

    Bicol University Tabaco Campus(BUTC) traces its humble beginnings to Bicol School of Fisheries (BSF) in Tabaco, Albay, as founded in 1949 by the virtue of Republic Act No. 412, to offer Secondary Fishery Education to the Bicol Region.

    Consonant with the trilogy functions mandated to educational institutions of higher learning, the Bicol University College of Fisheries(BUCF) expanded its program in research and extension. To meet the challenges of this new mandate, a massive staff development program was vigorously pursued. The performance and potential shown by the college in the field of research, led to its subsequent identification as the Regional Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources, Research and Development Network.

    In 1981, one of the seven (7) Regional Institute of Fisheries Technology(RIFT) under the World Bank, 6th Educational Loan was established at Bicol University College of Fisheries. Responding to the request of the constituents of the First District of Albay to greater access to education, the Bicol University College of Fisheries(BUCF) became Bicol University Tabaco Campus(BUTC) on November 1994 by virtue of the Board of Regents Resolution No. 28, series of 1994, allowing the unit to offer courses aside from Fisheries. Therefore, while still servicing the field (Fisheries) it was originally established for, it is now committed to the multi-disciplinary development needs to the region.

    As a scientist, he was awarded the most coveted 2014 Dr Elvira Tan Outstanding Publications in Fisheries Research (1st Best Published Paper, Marine Fisheries) by DOST-PCARRD. He won and was awarded competitive research projects and funds by reputable research organizations to pursue researches which include: economic analysis of mussel industry S&T industry strategic plan in the Philippines by the DOST-PCAARRD; economic valuation of beachscapes in Caramoan by economy and Environment program for Southeast Asia; Freshwater shrimp diversity assessment by CHED; economics of climate change adaptation strategy in coastal communities by Worldfish-CGIAR; relocation of non-tenured migrants outside protected area by CARE-UNDP; biodiversity threat reduction assessment by CARE-UNDP; tourism planning for sustainable development and inclusive growth by Partido Development Administration. He worked and collaborated with top researchers in international (Kochi, Japan), national (UPLB and UPV) and local (Bicol University, BFAR) research institutions. He gave his services, expertise and profound thoughts as advocate of research productivity and capacity development in research to various SUCs and HEIs in the region. He has presented various research papers in international, national and regional research conferences and symposia and awarded best papers. He has also published/co-published several research articles in national and international refereed journals

    As a research and extension manager, he steered the research directions of Partido State University in the last 8 years as Research Director and Vice President for Research And Extension. He was responsible for the establishment of the Coastal and Wetland Resources Center for Research and Management, a BOR approved research center in PSU. He was responsible in having PSU a CHED-accredited refereed research journal. He forged enter-institutional research collaboration with various organizations such as UP Visayas, Worldfish, PCARRD, Bicol University, DA-BAR, DOST and conducted capacity development in RDE for faculty members.

    As an academic institution administrator, he was chosen as the 3rd President of Partido State University and pursues massive capacity development, improvement of academic-related infrastructure, initiation and establishment of research centers, enhancement of discipline-specific faculty profile via vertical articulation, upgrading of curriculum and innovations to improve students’ performance in board examinations, networking with research and extension

His services was recognized and sought by various organizations as consultant and project leader, as trainer-lecturer and as technical reviewer of technical papers and manuscripts in research fora and as plenary speaker in scientific symposia. These include his stints as trainer in regional TOT in ex-ante and ex-post impact evaluation of natural and aquatic resources research projects by BCARRD; as senior economist of a climate change in coastal communities study funded by Worldfish-DA BAR; as project leader of tourism master plan commissioned by Partido Development Administration and LGUs of Partido District; as panelist-reviewer in economics and resource governance researches of Bicol SUCs and research consortia research reviews and the BFAR-NFRDI project reviews; as plenary speaker in national scientific conference in fisheries by BFAR and NFRDI among others.

    As an outstanding teacher and researcher, he was adjudged 1997 Metro Bank Outstanding Teachers of the Philippines in Tech-Voc category as semi-finalist among the ten top nominees selected from a pool of 360 national nominees. He was also awarded Outstanding University Faculty member of Partido State University in 2006 and as Outstanding University researcher of the same institution in 2012 because of his commitment, strong advocacy and exemplary performance in pursuit of instructional competitiveness and research productivity in the academe.
    As a development and institutional planner, he conceptualized and authored the Partido Tourism Master Plan a research-based tourism blue print for the 10 LGUs of Partido District which adopted a multi-stakeholder tourism planning process, concept of poverty-reduction oriented tourism paradigm focusing on sustainable livelihood and rural enterprise, environmental protection through coastal resource management, sustainable financing through payment for environmental services -user fee scheme, participatory resource governance and economic valuation as input for project worth analysis. He also led the crafting of the 10 year comprehensive development plan of Partido State University. Both studies lasted one year in completion. He also gave his services to LGUs as technical expert in CRM planning and social development projects packaging.

    As an advocate for poverty alleviation of marginalized fishing and upland communities through grassroots participation in resource governance, biodiversity conservation, sustainable ecotourism and coastal resource management, he conceptualized and implemented for 4 consecutive years the PSU-Sangay LGU supported extension project in coastal resource management with focus on marine protected area as management tool. As project leader, he implemented integrated CRM interventions which include livelihood skills training, alternative livelihood promotion for fishers, participatory coastal resource management, academe-led participatory community CRM planning, law enforcement through strengthening and capacity development of Bantay Dagat members, generation of information to influence municipal ordinance that promote CRM; organization and institutionalization of Municipal CRM Board; marine conservation awareness –raising through IECs, cross visitations to successful MPAs among others.
