HISTORY OF THE KALINGA- APAYAO STATE COLLEGE
By mandate of DECS Order No. 15, Series of 1971, authorizing the operation of
government- supported community colleges in the country, the Provincial Board of Kalinga-
Apayao, led by the then Gov. Rolando T. Puzon passed Resolution No. 97, series of 1974,
establishing the Kalinga Community College of Trades and Industries (KCCTI) which offered
purely vocational courses in poultry, piggerey, garments, trades and native loom weaving. It was
then inaugurated with Mr. Augusto Alejandro as the first Administrator.
Subsequently, the Municipal Council of Tabuk passed Resolution No. 8 authorizing

KCCTI to use the Municipal Plaza Reservation, Lot No. 1416 for the putting up of its physical
plant with authority to remain in force as long as the college existed.
After securing a government permit, the school opened a two-year Midwifery course.
Fortunately, from its first graduates of 45 Midwives, 30 took the Board Examination of which
100% passed. In 1978. The College Administrator successfully worked out the offering of
Liberal Arts, Commerce, Education, and Secretarial Courses. Because of this significant
developments, the then Provincial Governor, Hon. Amado B. Almazan, suggested a change of
the name of the college from Kalinga Community College of Trades and Industries to Kalinga
Community College (KCC).
On January 26, 1986, the Kalinga-Apayao State College was created under P.D. 2017
mandating the merging of the Kalinga Community College, the Dona Eufronia Molina Puzon
Memorial High School, Tabuk National High School and the BIBAK National Agricultural
School (BIBAK NAS). Nevertheless, due to some technicalities, it was only made operational on
October 7, 1992.
At this time, the Board of Trustees had its first organizational meeting held at the Office
of the Undersecretary of the DECS, University of Life Complex. Pasig Metro Manila.
The meeting was presided over by Hon. Luis Baltazar, DECS Undersecretary and was
attended by Ho. Joseph Albanza, NEDA-CAR Regional Director, Hon. Stephen N. Capuyan
DECS-CAR Regional Director, and Mr. Norfredo M. Dulay who was designated as the first
Board Secretary.
Consequently, the tertiary program of the BIBAK National Agricultural School was
integrated with the State College under Memorandum of Agreement entered into by and between
the Officer-In-Charge of the DECS and Mr. Alejandro in January 1993.
On July 7, 1993, the President of the Republic of the Philippines, His Excellency Fidel V.
Ramos, appointed Dr. Francisco M. Basuel, as the first President of Kalinga Apayao State
College. He assumed office on August 2, 1993.

several significant development. Additional undergraduate programs were offered such as the
B.S. in Agricultural Engineering B.S. in Forestry, B.S. in Environmental Scienc, B.S. in
Development Communication, B.S. in Entrepreneurship, and Forest Ranger Certificate. Other
short-term vocational courses and training programs were offered aside from the existing
academic programs. The graduate school program of KASC was also approved offering graduate
degree programs such as Master of Science in Rural Development, Doctor of Philosophy in
Development Education, and Doctor of Philosophy in Community Development and Master of
Arts in Education.
The needed infrastructure projects were also completed with a budget of P18.9 Million.
KASC also acquired for free, 44 hectares of the provincial government reservation in Bulanao
where the main campus is now situated.
Other land acquisitions for the educational needs of KASC were the 400 hectares of land
located at Rizal, Kalinga from the DENR for purposes of research, extension, and production
projects.
Linkages with a good number of regional and national government agencies were also
established to provide financial assistance and technical support to the State College.
Moreover, KASC as a member-institution of the PASUC-CAR assumed its development

role in CAR with Watershed Development as its Center of Excellence. In order to enhance its
instructional capability, the State College implemented a Faculty and Staff Development
Program to upgrade the quality of instruction and the educational qualification of each academic
personnel.
A good number of deserving faculty members were sent for study leave and have
completed their graduate courses. Dr. Basuel’s term ended in 1997.
On November 2, 1997, Dr. Venus I. Lammawin was elected by the Board of Trustees as
the second president of the Kalinga-Apayao State College. Under Dr. Venus I. Lammawin the
infrastructure projects which were started by her predecessor were completed. The Academic
Laboratory Buildings, Administrative Building and Library Building, and some road
constructions were completed. Personnel and staff Development became more extensive sending
faculty and staff for graduate studies on Saturday and Sundays aside from those who were given
full time study leave. Enrollment undertook steep increase requiring additional faculty members.
There was an increase in library holdings. Under the leadership of Lammawin, the College
facilities were upgraded ensuring quality services to its clientele. One frontline, cashiering and
Payroll sections. Graduating students were also given the chance to avail of the CHED-funded
Student’s Loan Program.
Some of the notable achievements of the State College during the term of Dr. Lammawin
included the following: titling of the KASC Bulanao Campus; raising of the status of KASC
from SUC Level 1 to Level 11; outstanding performance on Physical and financial aspects as
evaluated by DBM-CAR: achievement of a good rating by te Graduate School and the BSAEng
course as evaluated by the CHED-CAR Regional Quality Assessment team.

facilitated the Preliminary Survey of AACCUP for the accreditation of the BSED and BEED
programs of KASC and (b) more rigorous faculty and staff development programs.
Dr. Eduardo T. Bagtang assumed the reins of the Presidency on March 10, 2006 just after
his appointment as President of Kalinga-Apayao State College on March 9, 2006. In a short
period of time, he had respectfully attained accreditation to level 1 of seven (7) undergraduate
degree programs and three (3) advanced degree programs. Research and extension projects were
intensified. Likewise, sustainable and stable production projects are being explored and ventured
as long term source of income aside from tuition fee of students.
To name a few of these are the egg production in Bulanao Campus, the carabao and
jathropa projects in the 400 hectare KASC campus in Rizal, Kalinga. More vigorous
infrastructure projects are being carried out through the use of income and through linkage with
other agencies. Among theses infrastructures are the concreting of the streets inside the Main
Campus in Bulanao, the concrete fencing of the periphery of the Bulanao Campus, the
construction of the Midwifery Building, Gymnasium, the Amphitheater, Student Center and soon

E. KASC HYMN
Lyrics: Mr. Perfecto Lazo
Music by: Pansy Aquino
The light of the vast Kalinga-Apayao

Born encompassing with the breadth of the poor
Bringing forth the glamorous delight
To tinge the innocent mind of every child
KASC we will always stand by you

KASC we will go on fighting by your side
Proudly we stand in your buds we hover
For knowledge vanishes creation sense of awe
When humanity’s understanding prevails

Thy sons would proudly stand with palms on their breasts
To pour out their golden thought blaze
Where dreams now realities of culture and birth
KASC I’ll sing you a song of praise

I cling to thy brow to sip the nectar of your ways
Flowing in thy streams of wisdom and truth
Pride of Kalinga-Apayao walk on.
