Activities like this highlight the crucial role of reforestation in safeguarding the environment and promoting sustainable development.
In an interview, ASCOT President Renato G. Reyes said, โNapakahalaga ng pagtatanim ng mga punongkahoy upang mapangalagaan ang ating kalikasan. Isa rin sa mga plano ng ASCOT ay gawing isang Educational, Historical, and Ecological Site ang Ermita Hill, kung saan itatayo ang isang silid-aklatan na may mga aklat mula sa Japan Read Foundation."
After a successful tree planting activity, a press conference was held with members of the One Fort Magsaysay Media group, where Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) President Renato Reyes addressed several inquiries about the institutionโs plans, ongoing projects, and future initiatives aimed at enhancing community service. The conference provided a platform for an in-depth discussion on ASCOT's goals, including its aspirations to become a state university and its broader impact on education and community development.
During the press conference, ASCOT President Renato Reyes was asked about the steps needed for ASCOT to achieve full state university status. He explained that while a bill has already been introduced in Congress, ASCOT must undergo several processes to fulfill the requirements.
โKailangan lahat ng programa ay may COPC or Certificate of Program Compliance,โ Pres. Reyes noted, stressing the importance of program certification. He also emphasized the need for faculty development, particularly encouraging faculty members to pursue PhD programs.
โMagkaroon ng matatag at maayos na research program,โ he added, outlining that ASCOT must expand its research initiatives. Additionally, the institution must improve its facilities by constructing new classrooms, thematic laboratories, and research centers. Reyes expressed optimism, stating, "Nananalig ako na lahat ito ay matutupad dahil naniniwala ako na in terms of education, Aurora is the leader on the east coast of Luzon."
Dr. Ma Luz F. Cabatan, Vice President for Academic Affairs, addressed the question regarding ASCOT's admission process and tuition policies. She explained that students are required to pass an entrance exam before enrolling in their chosen courses. Some programs may also have additional requirements, such as qualifying exams and interviews.
Engr. Oscar C. Barawid, Jr., PhD, added that if a new student can't enter the engineering program, they encourage them to take another course, like those in the School of Industrial Technology. If they perform well and get good grades, they can later transfer to engineering.
Unlike other institutions, ASCOT does not implement a socialized tuition fee system, making education more accessible for its students.
When asked about the current state of ASCOT, President Reyes highlighted the institution's dedication to promoting quality education. He also reiterated that ASCOTโs responsibilities will expand as it transitions into a university, which will further strengthen its role in shaping the educational landscape in Aurora and beyond.
In response to a question regarding ASCOTโs role in attracting tourism, President Reyes outlined a plan to transform Ermita into a Historical, Ecological, and Educational Site. The goal is to create a tourist destination where visitors can gain valuable knowledge while enjoying the natural and historical beauty of the area.
To preserve the site, ASCOT will develop guidelines for visitors, ensuring that both local and international tourists respect and protect the area during their visits. Reyes stressed the importance of sustainable tourism, which balances development and conservation.
The press conference provided a comprehensive look at ASCOTโs future direction, revealing a clear focus on both educational excellence and community service.
After the press conference, members of the One Fort Magsaysay Media enjoyed a brief but productive tour of ASCOTโs Zabali Campus, guided by ASCOT officials. They also stayed overnight at the campus.
Joining also at the event were the ASCOT ROTC/NSTP Unit led by Ms. Norma Barbasa, Ms. Mardelyn Barrogo, Director of the Office of Production (IGP) and Auxiliary Services, and the ASCOT DRRMO, headed by Diana Rose P. de Mesa-Amazona.
Special thanks to the ASCOT School of Forestry and Environmental Sciences for providing Narra seedlings and identifying suitable planting areas. We also appreciate the ASCOT School of Arts and Sciences for their support in organizing a simple breakfast for all participants.
