[edit]

The Bicol University[8][9][10] was founded on June 21, 1969, by virtue of Republic Act 5521[11] and was formally organized on September 22, 1970. It evolved out of six educational institutions integrated to form the first state university in the Bicol Region (Region V):

  • Bicol Teachers College (BTC) with its Laboratory School in Daraga,Albay, now the BU College of Education (BUCE) with its Integrated Laboratory School (ILS)
  • Daraga East Central School (DECS) also in Daraga, Albay, initially renamed as Bicol University Pilot Elementary School (BUPES), now integrated with the BUCE-ILS as its Elementary Department
  • Albay High School in Legazpi City, now the BUCE-ILS High School Department

  • School of Fisheries in Tabaco, Albay, turned into the College of Fisheries, now the Bicol University Tabaco Campus.

These public schools and colleges, now part of Bicol University, had served the people of the region for more than half a century prior to their forming Bicol University.
