The City College of Cagayan de Oro had the honor of hosting Dr. Ricky S. Tadlip, President of Magsaysay College, during a courtesy visit on May 14, 2025. Dr. Tadlip was warmly received by CCCDO President Dr. Jestoni P. Babia, marking a significant step toward fostering institutional synergy and exploring future collaborations between the two institutions—both proudly recognized as Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs).
Facilitating the visit was Dr. Ray Butch D. Mahinay, Vice President for Extension and Social Development Services. Their shared academic and professional backgrounds helped set the tone for an open, forward-looking dialogue. As both institutions continue to champion inclusive, community-rooted education, Dr. Babia and Dr. Tadlip reflect the vital role LUCs play in providing access to quality higher education.
This strategic engagement affirms the growing network of collaboration among LUCs in the Philippines, demonstrating how partnerships grounded in mutual support and common purpose can amplify the collective impact of local higher education institutions.
