Two Carlos Hilado Grads Top November 2008 CE Board

The pioneer Civil Engineering graduates of Carlos Hilado Memorial State College has produced top caliber graduates as two landed in the Top Ten of the November 2008 Civil Engineering Licensure Board Examination.

At second place, with a 98.95 percent rating, is Jeshurin Dacules Severo and at fourth place with a 97.55 percent rating is Janean Peñaflorida Labaosas. The schools got 100% passing since eight takers all passed the board exams.

This feat goes to show that poverty should never be considered a hindrance in achieving one’s goals. As a state college, the enrollees of CHMSC are mostly poor but deserving students. CHMSC provides an opportunity to the less privileged but intelligent students to gain access to quality education at a lower cost.

The college is noted for having one of the best programs in Teacher Education for continuously ranking high in the LET. The achievement of CHMSC’s pioneer Civil Engineering graduates signals that the school will soon be among the best schools in this field, at par with the bigger private universities.

CHMSC is one of the three state colleges in Negros Occidental and the first to be established in 1983 when three schools were merged into Paglaum State College -  Negros Occidental College of Arts and Trades (NOCAT), the Bacolod City School of Arts and Trades (BCNTS), and the Negros Occidental Provincial Community College (NOPCC). Paglaum State College was renamed Carlos Hilado Memorial State College in 1994 and in 2000 the Negros Occidental School of Fisheries (NOSOF)was integrated to CHMSC.

Now celebrating its Silver Year, CHMSC boasts of four campuses with main campus inTalisay City and satellite campuses in Alijis and Fortune Towne in Bacolod City and in the Municipality of Binalbagan.
