TSU Capas Campus Inaugurated  

Tarlac State University President Myrna Q. Mallari and Capas Mayor Reynaldo L. Catacutan led yesterday the inauguration of the university’s newest campus in Barangay Cristo Rey in the historic Capas town.

Dr. Mallari said the campus would be utilized by TSU students residing in Capas and taking up Bachelor in Elementary Education, Bachelor of Science in Criminology and Bachelor of Public Administration.

Mayor Catacutan, who holds a Doctor of Public Administration degree from the TSU College of Public Administration and Governance, made possible the construction of two single-story buildings to be used for classroom and administrative purposes.

He said he had always wanted a TSU campus in his town so that college students living in Capas would no longer have to travel all the way to Tarlac City to attend their classes.

“Transportation alone is expensive, costing our students around P200 a day,” he told an audience of TSU officials, students, parents and municipal and provincial government officials.

President Mallari said that when she saw the completed Capas campus last week she knew “it will be a very good campus for Tarlac State University.”

“I felt like I wanted to move my offices here,” she added.

TSU has three campuses in Tarlac City: the Main Campus, the Lucinda Campus and the San Isidro Campus. [OPAI]
