CHMSC to CHMSU
BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — Carlos Hilado Memorial State College (CHMSC) Fortune Towne campus will soon become a state university, as the Bacolod City councilors have endorsed the request of CHMSC Executive Director, for the conversion of this state college into a university.
A resolution to this effect was sponsored by Councilors Homer Bais, El Cid Familiaran and Em Legaspi-Ang. Sayson’s request has been endorsed to Education Secretary Armin A. Luistro.
The CHMSC, which formerly was the Paglaum State College, was renamed CHMSC in 1983 by virtue of Batas Pambansa 477. It has met the minimum qualification required for it to become a university based on R.A. 7722, or the Higher Education Act of 1994 and Commission on Higher Education (CHEd) Order No. 48, Series of 1996.
Said resolution states that the conversion of CHMSC into a state university is beneficial to students especially those residing in Brgy. Estefania as “it will boost the socio-economic activity of people in the said barangay, and Bacolod City as well.” CHMSC Hymn
Lyrics: Dr. Victoria L. Ojas
I
A wisp from sky's resplendent wall
Breathes hope brings light as it does fall
Steers on the anvil so the gear
To weave the song of CHMSC, dear.
II
CHMSC thou art hope and joy
Science, Technology ye do deploy
To youth with fervor burning still
Thou quench the thirst for knowledge and skills.
III
O hail! We pledge our loyalty
And all our toils for thy glory be
To the skies that lend our noble blue
CHMSC, to thee we'll be true
IV
O hail! When pioneering days will end
And success our stress will sure portend
This song will ring loudly through the sky!
'To thank the great Power on high.
