History of Abuyog Community College

The Abuyog Community College is a local Government unit sponsored college which under the sponsorship of the Sangguniang Bayan of Abuyog, Leyte through its Resolution Number 110, series of 1978 passed on October 21, 1978, has been authorized by then the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports (MECS) under permit number 41,s.1979 to open and conduct First Year Level of Liberal Arts course starting school year 1979-1980.This events is very memorable for it became a realization of a dream of all Abuyognons who could Hardly afford to send their children to expensive schools in the city.

It was on June 15, 1987 when Government Recognition No. 002, series of 1987 was approved allowing Abuyog Community College to operate its four year Liberal Arts Course leading to the degree of bachelor of Arts (AB) with a major in Political Science and Economics. Another authority granted to the college was to offer the courses of Bachelor of Elementary Education and Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Social Science, effective school year 1988-1999 per CHED Order Number 10, s.2000.

To facilitate the progress of the college, on October 19, 2004, Resolution No. 245 series of 2004 was passed by the Sangguniang Bayan of Abuyog requesting the Local chief Executive the Hon. Mayor Ofelia K. Traya, to reactivate, reorganize and make operative the Board of Trustees of the ABUYOG COMMUNITY COLLEGE. To this effect, Resolution No.3, s.2005 confirmed the appointment of the new Board of Trustees of the college as the governing body of the school. Under new management, the college got its new dawn in the educational horizon.

New policies and regulation were passed ensuring the upliftment of the quality of education. This was coupled with the construction of new school buildings funded by the LGU so as to accommodate the increasing population of the college. With only two courses offered, the opportunity for growth was very limited. Hence, the Board of Trustees of the college petitioned the Sangguniang Bayan of Abuyog for the opening of new courses. So, on April 19, 2006, Resolution No.77, s.2006 was approved allowing the college to offer additional courses starting the opening of Academic Year 2006-2007.

New courses included 4-year degree courses in BS Criminology, BS Hotel & Restaurant Management, BS Entrepreneurship and BS Information Technology. Said courses was offered based on the result of the survey conducted by the college on highly-in-demand and most preferred courses of graduating student students from nine (9) Secondary Schools within the Municipalities of Mahaplag, Abuyog, Javier, MacArthur and Mayorga. These New Courses paved the way for the surge of enrolment and enhance the ability of the school to keep abreast with the new trends in education.

With a very supportive Local Government Unit, the most sought –after dream a highly competitive college growing into a full blown UNIVERSITY is sure to come. To this date, remains only one community college in Leyte THE ABUYOG COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
