Guided by the vision of having a Local College in the Capital Town of

Lanao del Norte and to pursue his goal of making the youth better and
well-equipped leaders in the future and help realize the shared
aspirations of Tubodnons in achieving improved living condition through
education, Mayor Leoncio C. Bagol founded Tubod College, which was
formally established on January 29, 2018, by virtue of Municipal
Ordinance No. 258-2018. Wasting no time as he wanted to open the
College during the Academic Year 2018-2019, he then formed the
Technical Working Group (TWG), composed of dedicated civil servants,
namely: Harold S. Tibon, as Chairman, Margarito D. Bete (Municipal
Administrator), Perla D. Santos (SB Secretary), Estelita C. Velez
(Municipal Budget Officer), Sarah Jane A. Micabani (Municipal
Accountant), Dolores C. Buca (Municipal Treasurer), Engr. Nelson Pepito
(OIC, MPDO), Engr. Josephine E. Tantano (Municipal Engineer), Virgie
Cabrera (Municipal Agriculturist) and Vicmar Paloma (MDRRMO). Since
time is of the essence, the TWG tirelessly worked day and night to catch-
up the preparation of the necessary documents required by the
Commission on Higher Education Regional Office 10 (CHEDRO 10).
On June 15, 2018, CHEDRO 10, together with personnel from the
Office of the Institutional Quality Assurance and Governance (OIQAG) of
CHED Manila, made an assessment to determine whether the
Municipality of Tubod, in its application to establish Tubod College,
complied with the requirements for the establishment of Higher

temporary school building – the Tubod Cultural Center.
To ensure proper governance and development of the newly
