The city government of Valenzuela has inaugurated its new Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela campus.

The P757.9 million tertiary education building is located along Tongco Street in Barangay Maysan, Valenzuela City.

According to Mayor Rex Gatchalian, “the quest for high-quality” tertiary education in Valenzuela City continue to advance by leaps and bounds.”

In September 2016, the city government implemented a full subsidy on tuition and miscellaneous fees, including school ID, library, medical, newsletter, handbook, laboratory, sports, multimedia, and guidance and counselling fees in its public tertiary institutions – PLV and the Valenzuela City Polytechnic College (ValPoly).

The initiative is way ahead of the signing of the Republic Act 10931 or the “Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act,” Gatchalian said.

The new PLV campus consists of three modern western Mediterranean-inspired buildings with hi-tech amenities, such as engineering and Information and Communication Technology laboratories, a spacious library, and an audio-visual room.

Also, the PLV World Card will also be launched on the same day. The card is the students’ access to a whole new world of topnotch university experience. It will serve as their access to enter the campus. Once tapped, their parents or guardian are notified through a text message whether the student is in or out of the campus.

The card is also their access to their university records and class schedules. It also serves as discount card to merchants inside and outside of the campus.

Another highlight was the unveiling of the once ignored, now newly restored Eduardo Castrillo sculpture, which is now the campus’ symbol of pride on its maxim of academic excellence.

Gracing the event are former Valenzuela City chief executive and Senator Sherwin Gatchalian and Davao City Rep. Karlo Alexei Nograles as guest of honor.
