  • ISPSC grandstand, Food Tech bldg., inaugurated

    STA. MARIA, IS. After two years since construction, the grandstand and the Food Technology Building of the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, constructed at the Santa Maria Campus, may now be officially used by the ISPSC community after the blessing and inauguration, September 30, 2020.

    Cong. Eric D. Singson, Founder of ISPSC, together with Dr. Gilbert R. Arce, ISPSC President, led the inauguration activity while Rev. Fr. Vicente Avila did the blessing of the facilities. ISPSC key officials and employees witnessed the inauguration ceremony. 

    The grandstand, with an estimated budget of Php20 million, will house the various programs and activities by the College. With a greater capacity, the grandstand is expected to ease the constraints on space experienced by the ISPSC community when organizing events.

    Meanwhile, the Food Technology Building, with an estimated budget of Php24 million, is the home for the College of Business Management and Entrepreneurship (CBME).

    In an interview with Dr. Joanna T. Guarin, Dean of CBME, she expressed her joy with the opening of the Food Technology Building. She said the students will now have more spacious and conducive classrooms, more modernized laboratory rooms, and function rooms to use. She added that programs and activities may now be concretely planned and conducted with the new building for their college.

    Guarin thanked the people behind the construction of the building, including the late former ISPSC President Dr. Francisco D. Lopez, ISPSC Founder Cong. Eric D. Singson, and new ISPSC President Dr. Gilbert R. Arce.

    The inauguration ceremony was conducted in line with the 120th anniversary celebration of the Civil Service Commission. In the same occasion, ISPSC employees with ten and more years of service for the College were granted loyalty certificates and cash incentives. # (photos courtesy of Ms. Gina Mae Villanueva)
