Bacolod Filipino-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. chairman Alfredo Barcelona donated to La Consolacion College (LCC) Bacolod for the establishment of the A. G. Barcelona Center for Advanced Studies.
The donation will enable the transformation of Room 211 in the College Building into a state-of-the-art facility designed to support a variety of academic and professional development initiatives.
It will go toward creating a modern learning space for short-term training programs, micro-credentialing courses and other academic projects aimed at advancing education and skill-building in the region.
The donation was formally presented by Dr. Ramon Ponce de Leon of LCC Bacolod’s Graduate School to LCC Bacolod President Sr. Flolyn Catungal, OSA.
Catungal expressed gratitude for Barcelona’s support.
“We are deeply grateful for Mr. Barcelona’s commitment to advancing quality education. His generous support will help us create a learning space that meets the evolving needs of our community,” she said.
“We look forward to welcoming students and professionals who will benefit from this new center, ultimately helping them grow, excel, and contribute to the region’s development,” said Catungal.
Construction on the A. G. Barcelona Center for Advanced Studies is scheduled to begin in January 2025, with the facility expected to be completed by February 2025.
