History

Established on January 6, 1978 by virtue of PD 1279 otherwise known as its Charter,

Mariano Marcos State University was a merger of two growing state colleges in the province

of Ilocos Norte: the Mariano Marcos Memorial College of Science and Technology

(MMMCST) in Batac and the Northern Luzon State College (NLSC) in Laoag City. Also

integrated were the tertiary level courses of the Ilocos Norte Agricultural College in

Pasuquin and the Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades in Laoag. Even then, MMSU’s

roots were anchored deep, its foundations strong and its beginnings proven historical

turning points, as the predecessor institutions have existed as far back as the early 1900s.

[edit]Founding

MMMCST (1974) was founded as the Batac Farm School in 1906. It metamorphosed into

the Batac Rural High School in 1918, the Ilocos Norte Institute of Technology in 1964 and

MMMCST in 1974. The Currimao School of Fisheries, the Dingras National Agricultural

School and the Ilocos Norte School for Craftsman in Paoay formed its satellite campuses.

On the other hand, NLSC started as an experimental vacation school of the Philippine

Normal School in 1917. As its enrolment grew and its offerings became upgraded, it was

renamed the Ilocos Norte Normal School in 1952, the Northern Luzon Teachers College in

1963 and NLSC in 1976.

On the establishment of the university in 1978, a master plan that incorporated

environment–friendly land use and elegant architecture was executed, drawing expertise

from national agencies and institutions. New academic units were created and program

offerings were re-engineered in harmony with its vision and mission. Highly qualified faculty

was recruited them to reputable institutions in the country and abroad. It became an active

member of the International Association of Universities (IAU), the International Association

of Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL), and the Association of Technological Education

in the ASEAN (ATEAN). The United States Information Service (USIS) through the Thomas

Jefferson Cultural Center selected MMSU as seat of the American Studies Resource Center

(ASRC) in Northern Luzon. These strong foundations were laid during the administration of

Dr. Consuelo S. Blanco, the first president, whose leadership spanned from 1978 to 1983.

The university is relatively young compared to other state universities in the Philippines.

However, MMSU’s root anchored deep, its foundation is strong, and its beginnings all

proven historical turning points as far back as the early 1900s.

[edit]Student publication

SIRMATA is the official publication of the college students of Mariano Marcos State

University. It is the oldest existing student publication in region 1, founded by Dr. Sosimo

Ma. Pablico.The first Editor in Chief was Rodelio Lumbo(1987-1988), followed by Lloyd

Ruben Castro(1989-1990).In 1990-1991, the first woman EIC was Maria Jesusa G. imperio

from the College of Nursing. She was selected again the next year (1991-1992). Others

who followed were:

Donald Galacgac (1992-1993) Jollybird Gusto (1993-1994) May Richelie Mata (1994-1995) Roxanne Lee Castro(1995-1996) Ryan Dean Sucgang (1996-1997) Roger Cacayorin (1998-2000)

Students who wants to become members of the editorial team must take a qualifying exam

administered every academic year. A selection committee is created, as per pertinent

provisions of Republic Act 7079 or the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, who evaluate the

Page 5: History of Mmsu

applicants based on their written exams and group or one-on-one interviews. During the

past years,[when?] SIRMATAhas almost disappeared the editorial staff failed to come out with

regular issues.

In academic year 1998-1999 SIRMATA was reinvented when Roger Cacayorin, a BS

Development Communication student, assumed the paper's highest post as editor in chief,

after serving as college correspondent during the previous year. At that time, the paper

became witness of many student-centered events, on top of which was alleged sexual

harassment by a top university official to an agriculture student.

When academic year 1999-2000 came, Cacayorin was still the paper's chief editor; the

editorial staff decided to pick a new publications adviser. They unanimously selected Emile

Kathleen Aguilar, a journalism professor at the Department of Development Communication

of the College of Agriculture and Forestry. She is a graduate of BA in Mass

Communications at the UP College of Baguio in Baguio City.

In 2010, the publication conducted its 1st SMAP Journalism Workshop in honor of its

founder and is an annual gathering of student journalists.

There are also existing publications of the different units.

[edit]Presidents

Dr. Consuelo S. Blanco, June 1978–May 1983: New academic units were created and

program offerings were re-engineered in harmony with its vision and mission. Highly

qualified faculty was recruited them to reputable institutions in the country and abroad. It

became an active member of the International Association of Universities (IAU), the

International Association of Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL), and the

Association of Technological Education in the ASEAN (ATEAN). The United States

Information Service (USIS) through the Thomas Jefferson Cultural Center also selected

MMSU as seat of the American Studies Resource Center (ASRC) in Northern Luzon.

These strong foundations were laid during the administration of Dr. Consuelo S. Blanco,

first president, whose leadership spanned the period from 1978 to 1983.

Dr. Santiago R. Obien, June 1983–May 1986: Obien’s term enlarged the coast in

research and extension and consolidated curricular offerings in the different campuses.

Committed to bringing about a better life and education for all including farmers,

homemakers and out-of-school youth, he launched the thrust on formal and non-formal

education for technology transfer in agriculture, fisheries, arts and trades.

Dr. Felipe B. Cachola, June 1986–May 1993: The stewardship of Cachola was guided

by a transparent and participative management. Notable of which was the

implementation of the United Nations Development Program–Food and Agriculture

Organization (UNDP-FAO)–MMSU Project: "Strengthening the Development of Dryland

Agriculture in the Ilocos" at the university forest reservation in Bgys. Payao and Sarnap,

Batac. The accreditation by the Accrediting Agency for Chartered Colleges and

Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) raised the quality of its offerings in education

and agriculture both in the undergraduate and graduate levels. Key officials and middle-

level management participated in a mobile seminar that brought them to SUCs in Luzon

and Visayas.

Dr. Elias L. Calacal, June 1993–May 1999: The leadership of Calacal brought on

projects that effectively used hilly lands and sand dunes. The university was

distinguished as Center of Excellence for Teacher Education in Region I while several

programs reached Level II or III AACCUP accreditation. Facilities were improved and

underused spaces were converted into well-furnished convention venues or dormitories.

The theater was provided with non-expensive indigenous acoustic materials (fiberboard

egg trays on the sides and ceilings, which proved to be decorative) and renamed Teatro

Ilocandia.

Dr. Saturnino M. Ocampo Jr., June 1999–December 2004: Ocampo’s term provided the

culture of discipline especially on financial and time management; self-reliance; and

Page 8: History of Mmsu

observance of the 5S as an approach to achieving excellence. Course offerings were

revised with the closure of non-performing ones. With board-approved organizational

structure, unit heads were afforded the freedom to innovate, initiate reforms and make

appropriate decisions. This resulted to three more centers of excellence/development,

the conferment of scientist positions to five professors, outstanding performance in

licensure exams, and quality refurbishment of physical facilities.

Dr. Miriam E. Pascua, May 2005–present
