and aspirations that have come into reality are all parts and parcel of what we have achieved through the years. “Rumduma” is also a calling for all alumnicalling for all alumnicalling for all alumnicalling for all alumni to comeback, take a walk and once again reminisce the good old days of our younger y e a r s spent in the place where we h a v e obtained o u r
respective degrees.
“Rumduma” is an appeal to all the alumni for support in terms of their time, talent, treasure and commitment to look back and patronize our college
which is now a university.
“Rumduma” is a reminder for all alumni of this 92 year old academic institution that behind our success in our respective careers, whether it be in agriculture or other fields of endeavor, we must remember the place where we have spent our high school, college or graduate school days. The memories, the laughters, the tears, the emotions we have shared with our classmates, the struggles and sacrifices we have encountered with our teachers in our pursuit of higher learning; our dreams
The concept behind “RUMDUMA”
“Rumduma” is also a calling for all
alumni to comeback, take a walk and
once again reminisce the good old days
of our younger years spent in the place
where we have obtained our respective
degrees.
“Planting the Seeds of “Planting the Seeds of “Planting the Seeds of “Planting the Seeds of Hope and Prosperity”Hope and Prosperity”Hope and Prosperity”Hope and Prosperity”
Relative to the theme of this year’s alumni homecoming, “MAGBURONYOG KITA SA PAG-USWAG KAN CBSUA” we can aptly relate the alumni of this university as the seeds produced by the PILI tree. The role of the alumni is seen as the planting material produced after a rich harvest of the fruits of our labor.
The Pili tree is a distinct feature in the landscape of the main campus of this University. Trees dominate our ecosystem because it grows into large sizes and live for many years. Trees are characterized by its deep root system where the large roots anchor the tree and the fine roots carry out absorption of water and nutrients from the soil. The tap roots represent the administration while the lateral and feeder roots are the faculty and non teaching staff of the
university which brings out the nutrients to the leaves. The stems or the trunk are the parents who nourish and send their children for their education in the university while the branches that stretches out to the
environment are their peers, where they can validate and enrich their knowledge. The leaves as the site of food production and gaseous exchange is represented by the students and the matured fruits are the alumni of the university.
Just like the trees, CBSUA as an
institution, is now on its 93rd year of existence thereby producing its alumni since 1920’s. It has also branched out to the Pasacao Extension campus, the Calabanga and the Sipocot Campuses. Aside from the pili as a tree, the site of the university is in the capital town of PILI, and piniling lugar, which means the “chosen one.”
To date, the then CSAC, now CBSUA, produced five SUC Presidents, the Late Dr. Wilfredo G. Olano, as the first alumni to become the fourth president of
CSSAC; Dr. Wenifredo T. Onate, President of Camarines Norte State College; Dr. Antonio Fuentes, President, Sorsogon State College; Dr. Nestor M. De Vera, President, Laguna State Polytechnic College and Dr. Samuel Benigno, President, Quirino State College. Aside from the academe, the institution produced numerous graduates who are doing well as district supervisors, principals, military personnel, businessmen and entrepreneurs, politicians, media personalities and agriculturists in the Department of Agriculture. These are the people who are doing ordinary tasks in an extra ordinary way, thus making a great difference in affirming na “Basta CSSAC/CBSUA graduate, matibay yan” maski sain mo darahon, maasenso yan” That’s the kind of education we got from our Alma Mater, not just making agriculture a profession but as a mission since we believe that “ agriculture is the science of life.” Thus, it provides nourishment to the body as a fundamental requirement to live and equally tempered by the values of perseverance, humility, industry, integrity, honesty and love for work.
Since then, and up to this time, the alumni as “seeds” plays a vital role in the transformation of their work places and assignments. Matured and fertile seeds as they are, planted in a rich humus soil or even in sandy, less fertile soil, they have made a difference in where ever they are planted.
To all CSSAC/CBSUA alumni, onward we move on, be active partners in helping our University plant the seeds of hope and prosperity. As we embark on another journey, let us remember that the coming year 2012 is just eight years away from our centennial celebration. So, let’s hope and pray for long life towards CBSUA @100 comes 2018.

I set foot at CSAC for the first time accompanied by my father for my college entrance test in ’77. Thereafter, I spent four long years in college. School life was harsh, then. Due to the vast and open grassy landscape of the school campus there was so much cleaning, cutting, planting and replanting of different plant stuffs.
Students donning old CAT jackets with bolos and other garden tools on their shoulders were an ordinary campus sight. It was always trouble when the new transplanted seedlings needed to be watered and water was nowhere to be found or just too far from the garden plots. Such conditions called for one’s better values such as being in good friends and cooperative with others so as to survive the rigors of the campus routines.
But in spite of all odds, students still found enough time to prepare themselves on time for their classes, to study and review for the lengthy lessons covered for the mid-term examinations. The secret was to give one’s very best to get exempted for the final examinations.
From 5:00 o’clock in the afternoon up until 7:00 o’clock of the night the most determined ones were at the library doing research, browsing over old books and other thesis manuals.
At the end of the day, they would retire to boarding houses, the ladies dormitory or cottages in Barrio Alibangbang and Student Barrio near the Pili airport area.
the same classmates from the first year to the fourth year, there were only two four-year undergraduate courses; the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education Agricultural Education and Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, with either Animal Husbandry or Agronomy major.
Upon graduation in 1981 there were only two cum laudes both coming from our Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education group Agricultural Education course. Such where the events during my CSAC days. In 1982, the school was renamed to Camarines Sur State Agricultural College. It has endeavored to lift its name to fame at par with other known learning institutions. It was conferred two prestigious recognitions by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in 2009, declaring CSSAC as Center of Development (COD) in Agriculture. With this, the school enjoyed a three-year annual financial grant from the CHED in support of its extension, research, and instruction program and cutting-edge technology. Another achievement was provided by the Higher Education Act of 1994 and the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act of 1997. By virtue of Commission Resolution Number 221 of May 18, 2009, the school spearheads the implementation of the projects under the National Agriculture

and Fisheries System Research. Financial assistance was allocated and library materials and other facilities were eventually upgraded. Also in 2009, the CHED identified CSSAC as one of the National Universities and Colleges of Agriculture (NUCA) along with Mariano Marcos University, Isabela State University, Central Luzon State University, University of the Philippines, Aklan State University, Silliman State University, Western University of the Philippines, Visayas State University and Agusan Del Sur College of Agriculture and Forestry. It also serves as the Regional Higher Education Institution for Agriculture in Bicol. The fulfillment of its ultimate goal of becoming a university was realized upon the signing by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Monday of October 12, 2009 of Republic Act 9717. It transformed the school into Central Bicol State University of Agriculture (CBSUA).
The conversion of CSSAC into CBSUA has made a tremendous grandeur for my Alma Matter, a far cry from what I had known during the CSAC days. The new University is expected “to provide technological science including education, arts, and science.” One of its thrusts should be “to undertake extension and development programs and provide necessary instructional and research leadership in agriculture, environmental and technological development in Bicol region”.
From only two four-year undergraduate courses, the university now offers the following courses in the Graduate School -MS in Plant Science, MS in Animal Science, MS in Agricultural Extension, MS in
Agricultural Education, MS in Plant Protection, MS in Resource Management and MS in Disaster Risk Management. It also offers Doctor of Philosophy courses in Development Education and in Plant Science. Likewise, undergraduate courses include BS in Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering, Food Technology, Agricultural Business, Agroforestry, Environmental Science, Biology and in Agri-Eco-tourism Likewise, it offers Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Bachelor in Secondary Education and Elementary Education
The BS Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering and the MS in Plant Science, Animal Science and in Resource Management were granted Level III Re-accredited status by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) from November 16, 2010 to November 14, 2014 which was given on December 8, 2010. Just this school year 2011-2012, new courses offered are Bachelor of Arts in English, Bachelor Science in Biology, and Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.
The prospect of seeing the school again after 30 years will surely be an awesome and amazing sight. The once grassy lots and partly landscaped lawns tended by the students is now filled with buildings that mushroomed in the campus area. One will easily get lost while looking for an old familiar spot in the school.
The school takes pride in its Student Atrium where graduation exercises and other important school functions are held. It is good to remember our graduation day which was held at the CSAC Athletic Oval where a makeshift stage was made faced by neatly arranged chairs each was marked for the graduating students, the parents and the entire faculty, each profusely sweating under the warm setting sun.
Some of the notable buildings added to the landscape are the Pavilion which now occupies the former site of the Practice House, the Magsaysay Multipurpose Building beside the Lady of Lourdes Dormitory, the new ladies dormitory houses more than a hundred occupants, the Education building, near the VOAG building, the old Home Economics now turned into a two-storey 10 room ECOTEL. Much anticipation is given for the construction of a bigger and better dormitory for the boys maybe at the onset of classes in June.
Among the buildings I won’t miss to see is the Lady of Lourdes dormitory where I stayed for three years. I wonder if the current occupants still have to wake up early in time for the water
supply that flowed three times in a day, morning, noontime and late in the afternoon. Kind of challenging when one needed to prepare food and was assigned by the dorm matron to clean assigned nook and chore. The mark of a real dorm dweller was if one knows how to climb the tree that grows beside the entrance door up to the terrace if and when the front door is locked by the matron.
Of all the physical changes in the University, the school library stands most impressive. It is now a massive three storey structure across the Related Subjects at Gabaldon building. The first floor houses the entire CBSUA library collection and the different offices are situated in the second floor. The third floor serves as the ICT library where hundreds of computers are located linked by local area network with global positioning system. Students can now do their research work more comfortably much different from assimilating, synthesizing and organizing (ASO) procedure of manual data gathering that we did before.
With the newly established Human Resource Management Office, the university is backed up by 319 teaching and non teaching personnel all well prepared in their respective designation. The number of personnel during our time would pale in comparison. But it is not always the number that gives the quality in instruction but the dedication and commitment in the heart of every teaching and non-teaching personnel that reaches out to the students that makes up for excellence. I pay tribute and salute my dear mentors for sharing their lives leaving significant imprints in my lifetime.
Dr. Marito T. Bernales, PhD, the first University president declares “CBSUA with its unique instruction shall continue to provide quality and excellence in agriculture and technology and well face the challenges ahead to help bring prosperity and sustainable economic
development in the region”. From the boy’s elementary school under the American regime in 1918 in San Jose, Pili, Camarines Sur to CSAC to CSSAC to CBSUA, our Alma Matter has immensely evolved, yet it has never completed its own metamorphosis. Each day it is ever changing, growing innovating and restructuring dynamically as it does its vision “to
serve as a gateway toward quality and excellence in agriculture and technology.”
