NAGBUKAS ang Commission on Higher Education ng satellite office sa Talisay, Negros Occidental upang mas mapabilis ang proseso sa pag-iisyu ng certifications, special orders at scholarships.

Pinangunahan nina CHED Chairman Prospero De Vera III, Congressman Kiko Benitez, Regional Director Raul Alvarez, at Executive Director Cinderella Benitez-Jaro ang inagurasyon ng subregional office.

Nagpasalamat si De Vera sa pagtatayo ng bagong opisina. Aniya, mas mapapadali ang serbisyo sa publiko.

“I thank our education champions especially Representative Kiko Benitez, and Director Raul Alvarez for facilitating the establishment of the CHEDROVI Subregional Office. This shows that we are serious in bringing services closer to the people,” ani De Vera.

“We are an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands so implementation of government programs will remain challenging. We therefore need to establish government facilities particularly in island provinces,” dagdag pa niya.

Tiniyak naman ni Benitez na tutulungan ng Kongreso ang sektor ng edukasyon.

“We have been hoping for the establishment of a subregional office in Negros Occidental because we have a large population. Now, we have one for CHED. Rest assured, we will work in the Congress to further the cause of education and to help CHED specifically,” ani Benitez.
