"aklan state university's humble beginnings...
The Aklan State University (ASU) is considered as
one of the institutions of learning in Western Visayas. It started as the Banga
Intermediate School in 1917 through a resolution passed by the Provincial Board
headed by Governor Simeon Mobo. The school became a farm school with the conversion
of the Banga Intermediate School into the Capiz Farm School (Aklan being a part
of Capiz then), which was formally opened in June 1918.
As the enrollment increased considerably, the school was
converted into a secondary rural school in 1928 and was named the Banga Rural
High School. Through Republic Act No. 3439 authored by Congressman Jose B.
Legaspi, the Banga Rural High School was named the Aklan Agricultural College
(AAC) in 1963.
A two-year technical course was first offered. Subsequently,
the college was permitted to offer Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA)
program, with Agronomy and Animal Husbandry as major fields on May 19, 1966. In
the seventies, the College further strengthened its instruction program and
continued to expand its higher education services by offering other
baccalaureate courses. In addition, it offered graduate and post graduate
programs to cater to the needs of professionals who seek for career and
intellectual advancement.
Having met the standards and requirements of an agricultural
state college, the Aklan Agricultural College was converted into the Aklan
State College of Agriculture (ASCA) on April 10, 1992 by virtue of Republic Act
No. 7371, which was sponsored by Congressman Ramon B. Legaspi Sr. Pursuant to
pertinent provisions of R.A. 7722, and R.A. 8292, as well as R.A. 8745 or the
General Appropriations Act of 1999, four (4) CHED-supervised institutions were
integrated to ASCA in 1999. These were the Roxas Memorial College of Arts and
Trades (RMCAT) in Kalibo; the Aklan National College of Fisheries (ANCF) in New
Washington; the Northern Panay Teachers College (NPTC) in Makato; and the
Western Aklan Polytechnic College (WAPC) in Ibajay. But better things came for
ASCA.
The consolidated version of House Bill 1548 authored by
Congressman Allen S. Quimpo and Senate Bill 2236 were passed on final reading
on February 5, 2001, and on January 29, 2001, respectively. On April 4, 2001,
R.A. 9055 entitled "An Act Converting the Aklan State College of
Agriculture in the Municipality of Banga, Province of Aklan into a State
University to be known as the Aklan State University, appropriating Funds
Therefore and for Other Purposes" was finally signed into law by President
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo which elevated the former ASCA to Aklan State
University (ASU). Today, the School where "boys love to work, and pretty
girls sing, cook and dance" has gone a long way from its obscurity in the
good all days to its present national prominence.
