The Center for Community and Local Governance Studies and Policy Development (CCLGSPD) met with the Schools Division Office (SDO) of Tarlac Province on September 3, 2025, to discuss a potential partnership that will integrate Tarlac’s rich history and cultural heritage into the basic education system. The project aims to promote a deeper appreciation of local history among teachers and students through collaborative research, capacity-building initiatives, and extension services.
The meeting was attended by Dr. Paulino D. De Pano, Chief Education Superintendent for the Curriculum Implementation Division, and Dr. Lamberto F. Gamurot, Education Program Supervisor-President for Curriculum Management and Development. Representing CCLGSPD were Director Dr. Cynthia G. Quiambao, Mr. Bryan Jan Dizon, Ms. Vien Jamaica D. Samson, and Mr. John H. Lanuzo.
During the discussions, Mr. Dizon, presented the project proposal and opened the dialogue on the drafting of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to formalize the collaboration between TSU and SDO Tarlac.
This initiative reflects a shared commitment to enriching the learning experience by ensuring that local history and heritage remain vital components of basic education in the province.
