MACABEBE -- Mayor Annette Flores-Balgan said Monday that the opening of Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) satellite campus in her town was set in July this year.
"Ngayong June mag-ooperate na yung DHVTSU satellite campus namin. We might offer education courses and vocational courses. For vocational, we will have food and beverage, welding and housekeeping courses," said Balgan.
She added, "Five hectares ang laki ng campus. We have six classrooms for now, alam namin na kulang yun pero nag-uumpisa pa lang kami at katagalan dadagdagan pa namin. Kaya ang plano namin ay gagawin ang vocational classes sa umaga, tapos sa hapon naman yung ibang courses."
Balgan is thankful to Governor Lilia Pineda for supporting her proposed project of establishing a DHVTSU satellite campus in her town.
"Malaki talaga pasasalamat namin kay governor. Dahil sa campus na ito, magkakaroon na ng edukasyon ang mga kababayan ko dito sa Macabebe. Hindi na nila kailangan pang mag-comute dahil maglalakad na lang sila," said Balgan.
The DHVTSU satellite campus is located in Barangay San Francisco, one of the villages not prone to flooding.
