HISTORY AURORA STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

It was on December 30, 1993 when ASCOT was created by the virtue of Republic Act No.

7664 which was made and sponsored by then Senate President Edgardo Angara and the late representative Benedicto G. Miran. Immediately they formed the pre-organization task force that would take over the management and operation of ASCOT through the leadership of Sen. Angara, the father and founder of the College. Negotiation and transactions were made with the Department of Education, Culture and Sport (DECS), Division of Aurora under the then Superintendent, Mr. Domingo Hulipas. They administered the admission for the freshmen students and located the temporary classrooms to be used for the next school year 1993.

ASCOT opened immediately the next school year with Dr. Benny A. Palma as Acting President. He came from Aklan State College of Agriculture (ASCA) Banga, Aklan. ASCOT started with the first batch of three hundred one (301) freshmen students with its classes held in Baler Central School buildings. They were provided with ten (10) classrooms and one bigger room for its administration office. At the start, services were rendered by thirteen faculty and nine administrative personnel to teach and administer the State College.

Through RA 7664, ASCOT was allocated with a campus site consisting of 196.06 hectares situated in Dibudulan Mountain, Sitio Dicaloyungan, Brgy. Zabali, Baler, Aurora. The said area was declared as the ASCOT school site by the Presidential Proclamation No. 559 on April 7, 1996. It also mandated ASCOT to integrate the Aurora National Agricultural School (ANAS) in the town of Maria Aurora, Aurora and the Aurora National Fishery (ANFish) School in Casiguran, Aurora.

Additional campuses consisting of 110.8 hectares in Barangay Bazal, Maria Aurora and 105 hectares in Barangay Bianoan, Casiguran, Aurora are also acquired by ASCOT through a Memorandum of Agreement with the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports represented by Regional Director Pedro V. Trinidad of Region IV. The DAT-BAT Program with 259 students, 10 faculty members, 2 support staff, books, farm equipment, vehicles, and buildings were also turned over to ASCOT.

After few years, its first ever commencement exercises was held at the Baler Municipal Plaza on June 8, 1996 with Representative Bellaflor J. Angara-Castillo as the Commencement Speaker. A

total of 178 students, 30 collegiate and 148 vocational, composed the first batch of graduates in four – year degree courses in Agriculture and two-year completion certificates for ladderized technology courses.

Late in the year 1996, the General Education and other departments of the college moved to the completed Phase 1 of Dr. Juan C. Angara Building in Sitio Dicaloyungan, Barangay Zabali, Baler, Aurora.

ASCOT 5TH RUNNER –UP IN SCUAA III 2012

One of the most important events in ASCOT Sports Development Unit calendar is December because it is the month when the SCUAA III Olympics 2012 was scheduled. The SCUAA III is the stepping stone for all aspiring athletes to stand out and be crowned, and then be rewarded to represent Region III in the National SCUAA. The College Sports Development Unit had a very simple motto that had been carried on for almost eighteen years now, ”Failure in sports is not the beginning of an end; but it is the start of an advanced skills development and then excellence”. This motto had been achieved this time by ASCOT baseball team by winning the gold medal despite all the limitations in finances, playing field, supplies, and equipment. This accomplishment elevated the overall standing of ASCOT into 5th runner-up against 13 competing Colleges and Universities in Region III held at RMTU, Iba, Zambales last December 16-21, 2012. Below is the summary of result of the SUC standing in Region III.

ACADEMIC REPORTS FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES

The goal of the Department of Forestry and Environmental Sciences is to become the center of excellence both in forestry and environmental education that will cater to the conservation, management, and development of forest resources thru instruction, research, extension, and production. The Department had taken solid steps towards the fulfillment of its goal in delivering quality education to forestry students and to support the needs of the College in terms of Research, Extension and Production

INSTRUCTION

The students, as our primary clienteles, are always the focus of the most of the activities of the

Department. The faculty and staff always seeks venue for creative learning, self-esteem building, and nature appreciation through effectual activities. Some of these are the following:

The termination of 2nd Semester SY 2011-2012 was very fruitful. Students were exposed to different fields of specialization in forestry through their laboratory activities and out-campus tours to different logging companies. In their in-campus activities, students were taught about surveying and mensuration procedures. On the other hand, in their out-campus tours, they were taught to familiarize the different logging, sawmilling, and log preservation activities. The Department also conducted an educational tour to the Cordilleras particularly in Ifugao and Mountain Province. At Ifugao, the visit to IFSU was very meaningful because of the exposure to a different culture that means a different strategy in resource management. The 200 students was

astounded by the majesty of Banaue Rice Terraces and also by the beautiful sceneries of Sagada. Caving has been exciting also because all students enjoyed the coolness of the underground river as they swam to pass through cave channels.

For this summer 2012, Dendrology students conducted several out-campus trips in order for them to be exposed and be familiarized with different forest types of the Province. The students visited the lush mangrove forest of Casiguran particularly in Esteves and Dibet. Furthermore, they were exposed also to the forest of Baler, and Bazal, Maria Aurora. The students were given practical exams also on leaf identification. On the other hand, Practicum students actively participated in the rehabilitation of ASCOT-Zabali eco-trail, and expansion of mangrove nursery beds. They conducted their OJT at CENRO-Baler, CENRO Casiguran, Dingalan CENRO Sub-Office, PGENRO, CENRO Cabanatuan City, and ASCOT-CLSU

Biodiversity Project of which they were tasked to conduct survey and mapping of kaingins, tree identification, and lumber scaling, and many other tasks. They were taught also on operations in the check points and monitoring stations and they were informed of what laws, rules and regulations to apply.

RESEARCH

In terms of research, the Department, through its competent faculty, was engaged in the implementation of College’s institutional researches.

1. Mangrove-Friendly Nipa (Nypa fruticans) Aquaculture System as Livelihood and Tsunami Mitigation Measures. This is a research in collaboration with Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau of DENR. The project started last November 2010 for the period of 1 year.

2. Charcoal Briquetting Technology Enhancement R & D. A continuous effort to create livelihood opportunities to mitigate poverty problems and environmental degradation

3. Integrated R & D Program on Biodiversity Assessment and Conservation of Selected Forest Ecosystems in Central Luzon. This is collaborative research with CLSU and BPSU that commenced June 1, 2011.

4. Coral Reef Restoration Project. 5. Aqua-silviculture project.

BS Forestry under a New Curriculum

The Department of Forestry and Environmental Sciences (DFES) of ASCOT is offering a ladderized course in BS Forestry. That is—Diploma in Forest Technology (DFT) leading to Bachelor of Science in Forestry (BSF), a four-year course (2 years DFT, + 2 years for BSF) about trees, forests, and how these trees and forests could protect people. It is also a course that tackles issues about our

environment in local or global context like climate change, waste and pollution management, water and watershed management and protection, and, wildlife and biodiversity conservation.

The new curriculum was approved by virtue of Board Resolution No. 6 s. of 2012 thus complying with CHED Memorandum Order # 44 S. of 2006.

With the new curriculum, students will be able to experience an up-to-date method of managing forests through spatial planning. In addition to that, students will learn about

environment-friendly technologies that could provide sustainable livelihoods to the graduates. And finally, through subjects like ecotourism, Aurora will be placed in the limelight of the World through the promotion of its biodiversity-rich eco-regions.

NEW 2-CLASSROOM FOR FORESTRY

The 2-classroom building for forestry was made possible thru the development funds of Congressman Sonny Angara. It was also thru the effort of our President, Dr. Eusebio V. Angara. The building was very appropriate for learning compared to the previously used classrooms at the damaged and dilapidated nipa hut at the back of General Education Building. The building was inaugurated last May 11, 2012 by President Eusebio V. Angara, Governor Bella Angara-Castillo,

Congressman Sonny M. Angara, and Senator Edgardo J. Angara.

RESEARCH SERVICES

COMPLETED AND ON-GOING RESEARCHES

The Research Department aims to become a productive resource of the College in order to have significant contributions in the development both academic and non-academic communities; equipped with competent faculty and staff to carry-out technology-based, quality, innovative, novel, creative, and intensive researches. It also complements the research function of higher education relevant to institutional, regional, and national development. The Research Office is entrusted to cultivate and nurture the College researches by implementing research projects and conducting research activities inside and outside the campus.

1. ASCOT-KALMADABA Mangrove Footbridge

This is a project of ASCOT in collaboration with Kalipunan ng mga Mangingisda sa Dagat ng Baler (KALMADABA). The construction of footbridge started on January 29, 2012 and it was completed on March 26, 2012. There were 1,416 bamboo poles (Gigantocloa levis) used in the

construction of this footbridge. It stretches 460m along the mangrove reservation of ASCOT just behind the administration building going to the Forestry nursery. The flooring is made up of bamboo slates thatched with nylon rope. It has three cottages from which anyone can rest after a walk on the footbridge.

It was established mainly for scientific and educational research, and eco-tourism purposes. It is one of the priority projects of ASCOT-Research Department and the College President, Dr. Eusebio V. Angara. This project was funded by the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources amounting to PhP400,000.00

2. Improvement of Banana (Lakatan and Saba) Production in Aurora Province

Banana is one of the major commodities grown in Aurora Province. It ranks third to rice and

coconut in terms of hectarage covering a total area of 2,055 hectares (BAS, 2010). The province produced 12,881 mt bananas distributed by cultivar as follows: Lakatan -1,251 mt; Saba - 8,895 mt; and other varieties - 2,735 mt (BAS, 2010). Dingalan, Aurora produced almost 70 percent of banana in the province.

The project is funded by the PCAARRD-DOST through the Office of the Sen. Edgardo J.

Angara amounting to PhP6,890,000.00 with Dr. Eutiquio L. Rotaquio, Jr. as the project leader.

The project aims to:

1. Expand the existing ASCOT tissue culture laboratory and nursery. 2. Produce meriplants of Lakatan and Saba for Aurora and nearby provinces; 3. Train staff and technicians on the improved protocol for mass propagation of banana

planting materials. 3. Capacitate laboratory technicians/ potential entrepreneurs/ LGU members on nursery-

management of banana through hands-on training. 4. Establish half hectare (lakatan and saba) techno-demo plots and one hectare plantation (1/2

ha. Lakatan and ½ hectareSaba) adopting the recommended package of technology.

3. Charcoal Briquetting Technology

The increasing cutting of trees for traditional charcoal making is one of the most detrimental upland activities. Such action led to depletion of forest resources that apparently causes environmental problems such as soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, flashfloods, etc. Thus, forest debris and other agricultural biomass were scattered and located anywhere which became the problem of the government today.

Aiming to address that problem, the Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) is introducing the recent MOBILE CHARCOAL BRIQUETTOR machine. It is a modernized machine, modified by ASCOT, which can easily move from one place to another where abandoned biomass is present. It can produce charcoal out of abandoned biomass which lessens firewood and natural charcoal

consumed for poultry framings, households, and domestic businesses.

This machine can produce 300 kilogram of charcoal that will help mitigate carbon dioxide emission in the atmosphere due to its environmentally- sound characteristics. Likewise, it seeks to replace

the traditional charcoal making which necessitates the cuttings of trees – posing a great threat to the watershed environment.

Engr. Amarlo Banańia leads the project with three laborers in the persons of Mr. Jerry Tangson, Ms. Cristina Virrey and Ms. Pricila Venancio who are assigned to Charcoal Briquetting Center. The project is funded by the DENR through the Office of the Senator Edgardo J. Angara amounting to PhP 2,200,000.00.

4. Product and Process Improvement of Aurora Blend Coffee

In one press release, Senator Edgardo J. Angara urged investors to support the core agriculture, forestry and energy development projects in Aurora. In particular, he stated that the Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) will establish the Coffee Research and Development

Center as well as the development of a coffee nursery which aims to increase the production of good quality coffee beans in order to respond to the increasing demand of the local and international market. This plan will also be a big boost to the coffee industry in the province which will eventually help the farmers to acquire good quality planting materials and lead to increases in farm household income.

Currently, ASCOT is assisting the cooperative in the product standardization process and

intends to find ways to improve the packaging and label design. The proponent recognizes the

importance of packaging in enhancing the market competitiveness of coffee product. The existing

packaging of the coffee product needs to be drastically improved in terms of type of packaging

material, label design and provision of nutritional

information in the package label. In addition,

provision of vacuum packaging equipment and

impulse sealers will enhance the packaging design

and prolong the shelf life of product. With the

proposed project, ASCOT hopes to improve the

product package design, capture new markets and

make it one of Aurora’s very own product.

Specifically, the project aims to: 1) improve

the packaging and label designs of the locally-

produced coffee products in Aurora; 2) provide

packaging equipment to enhance product quality

and marketability of coffee products; 3) provide

nutrition facts testing and shelf-life evaluation of

products; 4) provide training for the members of

the cooperative on processing, packaging and labeling; 5) to generate employment for five (5)

individuals in Aurora.

This project is being led by Dr. Eutiquio L. Rotaquio, Jr. , with financial assistance from the

DOST-Regional Office III amounting to PhP 230,000.00, in cooperation with the Department of

Trade and Industry-Aurora.

5. Species Inventory and Assessment of Sea Cucumber in Aurora and Nearby Provinces

7. Mangrove Rehabilitation and Management

Traditionally, the Aurora State College of Technology has been celebrating Forestry Week

every year aiming to expose all forestry students, staff, and faculty of ASCOT with regards to environmental awareness and management. This celebration usually falls during the month of August as approved by the ASCOT’s Board of Trustees.

In view hereof, since ASCOT Research

Department has an On-Going project entitled “Mangrove Forest Rehabilitation and Management”; it was decided to conduct a mangrove replanting activities in collaboration of this celebration to save financial expenses due to the following reasons: (1) There’s no more budget allotted to pay the labor cost for propagule’s collection, and (2) Forestry student can be used as alternative manpower in conducting tree planting activities. The project aims to conduct tree planting activities for the continuous rehabilitation of the mangrove forest.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION AUXILIARY SERVICES

Like the other State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines, Aurora State

College of Technology is also experiencing dwindling budgetary allocations coming from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

Auxiliary services has a great importance in augmenting the effect of the budget reduction through generation, management, and accounting of the College income derived from sources other than tuition and other fees. One of the reliable sources in augmenting the budget of the College is the Special Trust Fund (STP) consisting of tuition and miscellaneous, fiduciary fees, and other fiduciary fees. The summary of the collections is shown in the following table.
