THE COLLEGE HISTORY
The impetus for the College commenced in 1979 when the husband and wife tandem of Dr.
Romeo B. Casaul and Dr. Ruby Lanting-Casaul, rented a garage-sized room along Sangandaan,
Quirino Highway and converted it into a “lying-in”- in owing to the increasing number of patients
and deliveries. In 1980, the couple applied for a hospital license for ten (10) beds with primary care
services catering to minor surgical and obstetrical services plus some basic laboratory examinations.
Due to the tremendous influx of patients and the ever – growing needs of the clientele,
construction of the Casaul General Hospital started on its present site, with a 50bed capacity
rendering secondary medical services.
It was 1983, when the idea of establishing a “paramedical school” took its roots, and when
everything was in place, in 1984, the school of Midwifery commenced with an initial batch of 42
students. Simultaneously, a nursery school started its operations with 20 pupils. In 1985, additional
courses were offered namely: Dental Technology, Food Technology & Associate Radiology
Technology including the grade school. Two years later, the BS Nursing and BS Radiologic
Technology also began their operation alongside with the High School Department.
The fruits of hardships, endeavor and dedicated work paid off so sweetly, when Dr. Carlos
S. Lanting College (DCLC) graduates garnered top placers in several Board Examination results
beginning in 1988.
The year 1995 proved to be a glorious year for DCLC, in particular Radiologic Technology
Department because it had been declared by PRC as number one among schools offering BSRT and
number three among schools offering RT, a distinction which no other Radiologic Technology
school has thus far achieved nor duplicated.
Consistently every year, the list of Board top-notchers wouldn’t be complete without DCLC
graduates dotting the list.
Also in 1995 under the vision of Dr. Romeo and Dr. Ruby Casaul, the birth of the College
of Maritime Education offering Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation, Bachelor of Science
in Marine Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Customs Administration and Seafarer’s Rating
Course began. On August 25, 2000, the College of Maritime Education was certified as the Thirty
third (33rd) Maritime Academy complying to the provisions of the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) Rules
for Maritime Academies.
The Year 2000 had catapulted DCLC to nationwide distinction. The College of Nursing
had produced its very first Board Top-notcher in the person of Ms. Dinabelle Fermin who garnered
the Top 1 position in the Nursing Licensure Examination. Since then, the roster of the board top-
notchers for Nursing would not be complete without DCLC graduates occupying the top ten slots, a
living testimony of the school’s continued quest for academic excellence.
The passage of eventful years had seen numerous programs and disciplines successively
being offered namely: Graduate Studies, BS Physical Therapy, Medical Technology, Liberal Arts,
Business Courses, Education, Computer Science, Custom
Administration, Maritime Education, Nursing Aide, Caregiver Course, and Dental Technician.
When everything seemed to be falling in place in DCLC, a most tragic event befell the
institution with the untimely demise of its well – loved and respected President Dr. Romeo B.
1
Casaul in October 2003. Though hurting from this great loss, the widow, Dra. Ruby Lanting-Casaul
took the cudgels and assumed the Presidency. Coupled with the sound policy and vision of the late
Dr. Romeo B. Casaul, she steered the school for further greatness with the vast infrastructural
improvements to the delight of the ever-growing clientele population. The school had passed the
ISO 9001-2000 Certification Audit from the strict and prestigious AJA Registrars based in United
Kingdom, another proof of being an internationally recognized institution.
With Dr. Ruby Lanting-Casaul as President and Dr. Dennis Mayer A. Tan as the Chief
Executive Officer, several changes had been made starting the year 2005. Academic activities and
infrastructure enhancements were given top priority. Classrooms were airconditioned to make them
conducive to learning. The Libraries were aesthetically renovated as modern places for research and
learning. The physical images of several offices were also improved and additional facilities were
constructed such as the Speech laboratory and Information Center. Everything was done to give the
best possible services to its clienteles.
Year 2009, the whole DCLC academic community was deeply saddened by the loss of its
beloved President, Dr. Ruby Lanting-Casaul. With her demise, Dr. Dennis Mayer A. Tan assumed
the leadership role, continued improving the over-all image of the institution and effected necessary
changes in organizational system to ensure that the clients get the best services they deserve. He
completed the renovation of the HRM building which he named Dr. Ruby Lanting Casual-Tan, in
honour of his wife. Other major changes in the Institution were the installation of an elevator at the
Main Building in the year 2010 and another elevator at the Annex Building in the year 2012.
There had been no reprieve in Dr. Dennis Mayer Tan’s upgrading of the school buildings
such as the Business Administration Department, Medical Technology Department laboratories and
all other departments that needed improvement.
The year 2011 saw the upsurge of students at the College of Maritime Education as we
were recognized and endorsed by the Commission on Higher Education as one of the better schools
offering Maritime Education. With the shift of clienteles’ interest to the Maritime industry, the
school administration upgraded its existing facilities starting with the acquisition of a Kongsberg
Polaris Full Mission Bridge Simulator, Kongsberg Neptune Engine Room Simulator and all
Maritime equipment needed for the competency enhancement of maritime education students.
In 2014, DCLC was granted the Candidate Status by the Philippine Association of Colleges
and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) on its four programs namely: BS
Nursing, BS Marine Transportation, BS Radiologic Technology, and BS Medical
Technology/Medical Laboratory Science. After which, in 2017, three of its programs (BS Nursing,
BS Marine Transportation, and BS Radiologic Technology) passed the PACUCOA Level I Formal
Accreditation and certified by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines.
In 2016, DCLC launched the Senior High School Program in line with the implementation
of the K to 12 Educational System. It offers Academic and Technical Vocational tracks.
As the institution continues to grow its program offerings, in January 2017 the Commission
of Higher Education issued the permit to operate the BS Criminology program. With the current
school administration, the DCLC Academic community assures that the Founders’ vision will be
2
continuously pursued and that their legacy to help young people to have brighter future through
quality education will be carried on.

The Philippine Government recognizes the complimentary roles of public and private higher education
institutions (HEIs) and shall exercise reasonable supervision and regulation thereof. Thus, all HEls are
enjoined to include in their student's handbook the conduct of mandatory random drug testing of
students, with notice to the parents. Aside from random drug testing, a Higher Education Institution

a policy for the conduct of mandatory drug testing as a requirement for admission and retention, after
observance of the consultation and other similar requirements.
51

the educational institutions and parents for the education and awareness of its members on the ill-effects
of dangerous drugs;
2.1. It is a government policy to foster a spirit of shared purposes and cooperation among the members
and elements of the educational community and between the community and other sectors of
society at all times. Only in such atmosphere can the true goals and objectives of education be
fulfilled.
2.2 The Commission on Higher Education (CHED), as part of its mandate, has the duty to continuously

mandatory random drug testing of their students or as part of the schools’ admission and retention
requirements.
In Keeping with the dangerous drug abuse prevention program of the government, the Local
Government Units (LGUs), the Philippine National Police (PNP), or any authorized law
enforcement agency may carry out any legitimate drug-related operation within the school
