PPC: Security Blanket for Pangasinense Youth

LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN—The establishment of the Pangasinan Polytechnic College (PPC) is not just a campaign promise of Governor Ramon V. Guico III but a security blanket for the future of Pangasinense youth.

Considered among the ‘Big Ticket Projects’ of Governor Guico, the PPC is a historic first in Pangasinan as well as in the region for being the first-ever tertiary institution managed by a provincial government.

Even before his political career started, Gov. Guico had started setting his sights on providing free and quality education for the out-of-school and those less privileged but deserving youth. From there, he founded the University of Eastern Pangasinan (UEP), an educational institution owned and run by the Local Government Unit (LGU) Binalonan.

With the initial batch of scholars numbering 700, the PPC offers the following courses: Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness, Bachelor of Special Needs Education, Bachelor of Multi-Media Arts at Bachelor of Public Administration Major in Local Governance.

Aside from the Baccalaureate Program, PPC also caters to free ‘in-demand technical-vocational courses and skills training for the unemployed.

Likewise, it offers short courses for individuals who are seeking to widen or enhance their capabilities in Digital Animation, Pangasinan Studies, Indigenous Education, Videography/Photography, and Tourism Development Planning among others.

PPC, as envisioned by Gov. Guico, will offer medicine and other allied medical courses.

“Excellence demands that we make medical education available, accessible, and affordable for our future doctors of Pangasinan,” Gov. Guico said in his past State of the Province Address (SOPA).
