Dr. Ardniel A. Baladjay, who served as college dean since August 2023, turned-over the key of responsibility to Dr. Magulama. In his speech, he underscored: “I hope it is full enthusiasm that I got serving and working with you all. To our beloved staff, students, and stakeholders, I hope I give justice to the trust and confidence you bestowed upon me as your dean for seven months.”

“To my successor, Dr. Efren, whom I considered my Ama in our place, may you continue to spark the torch for more achievements to our beloved CA.” He ended.
