CatSU President announces donation of second-hand bus from Bicol Isarog to lift Mobile University initiative

Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, the President of Catanduanes State University (CatSU), shared in his Facebook post the exciting news of an upcoming donation from Bicol Isarog.

The transport company, headed by Bryan Cu, has generously offered to donate a second-hand air-conditioned bus to CatSU, set to be delivered in May 2023. The bus will be painted with the university's logo, signifying its new purpose in service of the academic community.

The donation follows a series of conversations between Dr. Azanza and Bryan Cu, in which the CatSU President expressed the university's need for additional transportation options.

This second-hand bus will complement four brand new buses that CatSU plans to acquire through internally generated funds.

Dr. Azanza envisions the donated bus to function as a "Mobile University," providing capacity development opportunities for faculty, students, and employees of other agencies, including local farmers, fisherfolk, and entrepreneurs across the 11 towns of Catanduanes Island.

“We will bring CatSU to them instead of waiting for them to come to CatSU campuses,” Dr. Azanza said.

By bringing the university to these communities, CatSU aims to make education and skill-building more accessible to those who might not be able to visit its campuses.

The CatSU President expressed his gratitude to Catanduanes Governor Joseph “Boboy” C. Cua for facilitating the talks with Bryan Cu and to the entire Bicol Isarog team for their generous support.

This collaboration demonstrates how partnerships between the university, government, and private sectors can help create a more vibrant and inclusive educational landscape on the island.

As CatSU moves forward with its mission to serve the community, the donation from Bicol Isarog is a testament to the power of unity and cooperation in fostering growth and development in the region.  #FJBT
