History of North Luzon Philippines State College The metamorphosis of North Luzon Philippines State College as a public

higher education institution in the Second District of Ilocos Sur can be traced in its humble, yet glorious history.

The institution evolved in 1975 from a small community college known as Candon Community College (CCC) which offered non-degree courses, the midwifery and the secretarial course.

Through a bill sponsored by then-Congressman, Hon. Eric D. Singson, Candon Community College sought integration to the University of Northern Philippines in Vigan, Ilocos Sur; hence, Republic Act 6744 effected the establishment of CCC-University of Northern Philippines Branch on August 11, 1989.

Course offerings of the CCC-UNP Branch have reached quantum leap. Aside from the pioneer non-degree courses in midwifery and secretarial, extension degree programs such as Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor in Elementary Education, Bachelor in Secondary Education, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science were offered. The secretarial course has been enhanced into two new certificate programs: the Associate in Office Management and the Associate in Medical Office Management. Additional degree courses based on the demands of the community were included such as the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Science in Criminology, both were offered as ladderized courses.

Realizing his vision for Candon to have a college of its own during his long years as dynamic political leader in the municipality of Candon, Hon. Eric D. Singson sponsored a bill that amended R.A. 6744 and helped establish a new college in the province. Through Republic Act 10085, otherwise known as “An Act Separating the CCC-University of University of Northern Philippines Branch from the University of Northern Philippines in the City of Vigan, both located in the province of Ilocos Sur, converting it into a State College to be known as North Luzon Philippines State College and Appropriating Funds Thereof”, North Luzon Philippines State College (NLPSC) started to operate as a public higher education institution on May 5, 2010.

The Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 10085 was approved during

the 1st regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the college held at the CHED Central Office, UP Diliman, Quezon City in the last quarter’s meeting of 2010.

In pursuance to Republic Act 7722 otherwise known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994” and RA 10085, Acting Director IV of the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office, Dr. Caridad O. Abuan, was designated as Officer-in-Charge of the

college on August 11, 2010 by CHED chairperson, Dr. Patricia B. Licuanan. The main task of Dr. Abuan was to ensure that there is a smooth transition of operation and management of the college from the University of Northern Philippines. A technical working committee composed of Dr. Cherrie Melanie Ancheta-Diego, CHED OIC-Chief Education Program Specialist, Mrs. Odette de Guia, Dr. Elizabeth M. Gacusana, Dr. Jaime G. Raras, Mrs. Cristina R. Martinez and Dr. Severino G. Alviento has been formed to assist DR. Abuan during the early thriving years of NLPSC.

Formally in 2011, North Luzon Philippines State College set itself to work. Designations of the faculty and personnel in various offices of the college have been given special orders, approval of the curricular offerings has been sought at the CHED Regional Office, departmentalizing the faculty according to discipline has been effected, and the college organizational chart has been plotted to define the role functions of rank-and-files.

At the start of the school year 2011-2012, all the curricular programs under CCC-UNP Branch were maintained except the Bachelor of Science in Nursing which was not permitted by CHED-RO-I because said program can not meet the standard requirements in the offering of the nursing course. An additional course in the business education department has been included, the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration, which is a ladderized degree program in the certificate courses in secretarial.

The school plant and the facilities of NLPSC have been facing the great challenge of accommodating more than two thousand students and roughly one hundred thirty personnel; however, the college is on the alert to address this challenge through the establishment of more buildings and classrooms. The library building with classrooms and audio-visual rooms, the CHED-funded building with offices and laboratory rooms, and the Student Government Building, are all under-construction and eyed to be in full utilization within the next school year.

NLPSC is striving to live up with its core functions in instruction, research, extension and production through instilling the values of excellence, dynamism and service towards the succeeding years of its existence.
