CTU Daanbantayan Campus: A Legacy in Fisheries and Technological Education

Cebu Technological University Daanbantayan Campus traces its roots back to Manuel A. Roxas School of Fisheries, established on March 3, 1948, through Provincial Board Resolution No. 500. Recognized as the oldest fishery school in the Philippines, it initially operated under the Bureau of Public Schools before transferring to the Bureau of Fisheries in 1952, establishing itself as a regional center for secondary and post-secondary fishery education.

In 1975, the school began offering the Diploma in Fishery Technology (DFT). By 1983, it was designated to become the Central Visayas College of Fisheries (CVCF) under B.P. 379, but before this could be implemented, B.P. 412 integrated the institution into the Cebu State College of Science and Technology (CSCST) System. In 1984, it was renamed CSCST-College of Fisheries.

Over the years, the campus expanded its academic offerings, introducing degree programs such as:

  • Bachelor of Science in Fishery Technology (BSFT)
  • Bachelor of Science in Fisheries Education (BSFEd)
  • Hotel and Restaurant Services Technology (HRST)
  • Bachelor of Secondary Education, Major in Technology and Home Economics (BSEd T.H.E.)
  • Ladderized BS in Fisheries and HRST
  • Associate and Bachelor’s in Industrial Engineering

In the early 2000s, the College of Advanced Studies (CAdS) launched graduate programs, including Master in Education, Ph.D. in Technology Management, and Doctor of Education.

The campus has earned multiple ISO certifications, most recently ISO 9001:2015 by TÜV Rheinland Philippines, underscoring its commitment to delivering quality education.

In 2004, the campus was officially renamed CSCST – Daanbantayan Campus. The transformation continued when the CSCST system became Cebu Technological University (CTU) by virtue of R.A. 9744 in 2009.
