In his message, Dr. Prisciano S. Legitimas, President of Colegio de Loon, expressed:
“Warmest congratulations to Bohol Island State University on the 16th anniversary of achieving university status—16 years of advancing knowledge, service, innovation, and scholarship. We, in LGU-Loon together with the Colegio de Loon, commend Bohol Island State University for its enduring dedication to quality education and societal impact.”
The Municipal Government of Loon and the people of the municipality join the entire BISU system—its administration, faculty, students, and alumni—in celebrating this milestone. May BISU continue to be a beacon of academic excellence, public service, and transformative leadership, nurturing generations of learners who will contribute to a brighter and more resilient future for Bohol and the nation.
Happy 16th Charter Day, Bohol Island State University!
