The J.H. Cerilles State College (JHCSC) President, Dr. Edgardo H. Rosales, conducted a series of campus visitations for School Year 2026, covering the Canuto M.S. Enerio Campus, Dumingag Campus, and Pagadian Campus on January 8, 2026. The visitations aimed to discuss the institution’s future vision, address concerns, and reinforce policies and systems in Research, Instruction, and Extension.

Campus directors highlighted their achievements during the visits. Lakewood Campus Director Prof. Bobby S. Piscos emphasized their “less is more” approach, achieving 100 percent COPC compliance despite a limited workforce. At the same time, Dumingag Campus Director Dr. Moises Glenn Tangalin underscored their distinction as the first campus to achieve full compliance. President Rosales described Pagadian Campus as a “rising star” due to its recent accomplishments.

Campus Director Dr. Patricia D. Bahian expressed gratitude for the president’s visit, noting the ongoing challenges and the need for classrooms that are conducive to learning. She highlighted infrastructure developments and shared her vision of Pagadian as a growing “show window” of JHCSC, encouraging unity and optimism with the phrase “Agakanay tang tanan.”

President Rosales expressed optimism for future income-generating projects, including a smart gate and facility rentals, and provided updates on ZDSSU’s progress toward universityhood. He commended the efforts of the JHCSC workforce, encouraged “leveling up” in accreditation, and addressed faculty challenges in research production. He also reiterated the goal of becoming a research-oriented university while maintaining excellence in its professional programs.

The visitation fostered a renewed sense of responsibility, strengthened collaboration, and reinforced the shared commitment among administrators, faculty, and staff as JHCSC continues to advance its academic and institutional objectives.
