COC-Phinma unveils another milestone in the Cagayan de Oro Education. Last Saturday marked the groundbreaking ceremony of the COC-Phinma Puerto campus, one of the institution's newest instalments in active pursuit to the actualization of her mission in bringing Success Within Reach for its students. The groundbreaking ceremony gathered Misamis Oriental Gov. Oscar Moreno as well as company leaders in Cagayan de Oro and corporate HR managers and other distinguished individuals with guest of honor Commission on Higher Education (Ched) 10 director Dr. Zenaida Gersana. Officials from barangays Agusan, Bugo and Puerto also graced and contributed to the success of the event alongside other dignitaries from nearby barangays.
The groundbreaking of the 3,000 square-meter commercial lot was the beginning of the construction process of a three-story state of the art Education facility. Laboratories of multifarious functions would tend to Secondary Education (High School), Information Technology, Arts and Sciences, Criminology, Education, Management, Accountancy and HRM courses alongside a comprehensive library and student lounges, highlighting the campus. According to the building plan, the whole process would span to three years under three phases. The first phase is to accommodate more than 1,500 students and upon its completion, estimates indicate that this satellite campus can cater to more than 4,000.
"The first step to making life better through Education is to make Education accessible," says Phinma Education Network president Dr. Chito Salazar. "After achieving our goal of providing quality affordable Education in Carmen and surrounding communities, it's time to extend this to more students particularly in Barangay Puerto, its neighboring barangays, Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon. By bringing the School to them, we lower their transportation costs and remove the need for boarding houses. So not only are our tuition and fees more affordable, the overall costs of sending kids to college are lower." "Our goal is to make the dreams of our students and their families come true," Salazar shared. "With COC-Phinma in Puerto, success is now physically within reach." MF
