Ligao City to start construction of Ligao Community College campus

To continuously provide quality education to Ligaoeños, the Ligao Community College (LiComCo) will now have its own campus at Soledad St., Guilid, Ligao City. The construction of the new facility is expected to start this January and is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

"As of the moment, Ligao Community College is sharing the facilities with Ligao National High School, we really would like the Ligao Community College to have something for them," said Ligao City Mayor Patricia Gonzalez-Alsua. LiComCo holds its classes in the evening as LNHS holds its classes during the day. With the expected facilities that go along with the construction, students can maximize the use of the facilities for a better learning experience. "We would like them to have available facilities for them to have high quality education," Mayor Alsua added. The LiComCo is known to have the highest number of Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) passers in Region V (Bicol), according to Mrs. Carmelita A. Sinson, College Administrator of LiComCo.
