JBLUFAs the academy grew, it became the John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation (JBLCF), now with campuses in Molo, Arevalo, Bacolod and Guimaras. And last April 2, it held its inauguration as the first privately-run maritime university in the country, and perhaps in Asia. Read more »

Well this is my Alma Matter , Proud to be, different story like Daday Juan (hehehE) life of ilonggos are changed weather good or bad depend how they use this easy going carrer. weather nagbulakbol ka dati hanggang ngayun di ka nakasakay, not all carrer or profession can see the world free as they said, but here alot of free, my lesson here that i want to express is, poverty is not a hindrance to reach your goal as a seaferers, ever you don’t have backers as they said, for me high school I don’t have any idea if what course this seaferers taken before they can be a seamn. eve my father don’t know or maybe he hide because it is expensive course and he can not afford, but time that i pass the TESDA scholarship for Technical vocational course Gen Refregiration mechanics in valeria streat for 1 year and I work i a bar for 2 years, but in the middle of working in Bar and billiards in Gen Luna, I take a course in this school arevalo dept, meaning deck department, working as fulltime at night and a consistent working student in purchasing department, and as a regular student, question: how did I got this time to be fit? well I work at nigth time till 3 AM and by 7 am I need to wake up and go for school till 4 PM and 5 pm go back to work , in school I have a vacant and thos vacant time are for office work, this is a hectic time but i don’t have a choice, I need to study for my own self. till 2nd year I resign for my job as a bar tender becuase I’ve got a scholarship from CHED since 2st year, those time are very deep and dark looks like i’m away from any family of mine becuase they dont know that Im studying, even my mother don’t know that i’m studying until 2nd year that my high school class mate told my mother, that i’m studying, alot of hard times even word cannot express what i’ve done or how did I passed those trials. even alot of my classmates are abundant when in terms of money, moral support, and others but they don’t think what they are doing because they have alot of money, but now, when you compare our standing theres alot of diferences, wala man ko gapahambaog but amo lang ni ang madugang ko sa mga student nga ga himakas maka survive, even in high school i dont know if anu ang maabtan ko but just pray only to GOD, like Dady Juan he gave a promising carrer for those poeple who struggling for poverty, but diserving for being succesful, alot of scholarship in this school offer, if your are willing, i’m not doing some adverticement here, in the end poverty is not a hindrance for every one of us for being succesful, GOD is with us always, think positive,
