I couldn't decide whether to post this here or on the Urdaneta Schools Board. I'll probably just repost it later. It's good to know that other cities look up to Urdaneta, particularly UCU. Also mentioned in this article is the Great Urdanetan, Dr. Pedro T. Orata.
Just FYI, Calapan is the capital of Oriental Mindoro & is the first & only city in that province.

Urdaneta,Pangasinan - True to his commitment of helping the Calapeño poor but deserving students to finish their studies, Calapan City Mayor Paulino Salvador “Doy” C. Leachon visited the City to personally observe the Urdaneta City University (UCU) last November 20.
With the vision of establishing the Calapan City College this coming year of 2008, Mayor Leachon’s visit to the City aimed to know the different strategies on how the City of Urdaneta established the UCU.
Together with Mayor Leachon in the Lakbay-Aral were the different officials of the City Government of Calapan named City Administrator Atty. Antonio “Jojo” S. Perez, Jr., former Calapan City Mayor Carlos Brucal, City Education Officer Marilyn E. Manigbas, City Councilor and Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations Jose Leynes, City Councilor and Chairman of the Committee on Education Jojie Malapitan, City Youth and Sports Development Officer Marvin L. Panahon, City Accountant Charity Chavez, City Engineer Benjamin Acedera, Executive Asst IV Dr. Rene Colocar and City Information Officer Marvie D. Mañibo.
The group of Mayor Leachon were welcomed by Urdaneta City Mayor Amadeo R. Perez, Jr. and some of his City Councilors and Department Heads who are involved in the operation of the UCU. They lectured the group on how they are administering the operation of the UCU including its birth pains and history.
It was also noted that the UCU was a self-sustaining university managed by the City Government of Urdaneta. It started as a Community College way back in 1966 thru the effort of Dr. Pedro T. Orata who believed in the principle “Education for All” and who had the passion of providing education to those less fortunate youth who want to learn. The university started with a two-year General Education Course with 144 poor but deserving students.
The community college was called the City College of Urdaneta in the year 2001 and was converted into a full blown university in the year 2005. It was also named as the First Character School in Region I due to its outstanding academic excellence and character transformation since its creation.
Since 1966 up to present, UCU’s operation is being sustained by its own income coming from tuition fees of university students who are not scholars of the City Government.
With the Lakbay-Aral, Mayor Leachon has gathered all the information necessary for his desire in establishing the Calapan City College in the year 2008 which will surely benefit the deserving students of the City of Calapan.
