Batac CITY—It’s the beautiful façade of the Administration Building fronting the sprawling garden with twin fountains that greets online visitors as they begin to surf the new and improved website of the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), the center of excellence in higher learning and scientific research in Region 1.

In a few seconds, the page starts a slide show that presents the programs and projects of the university in instruction, research, extension, and production. These programs, which can be seen in detail in the website, translate the core values of MMSU – excellence, effectiveness, and growth.

These, and among other features, were shown to those who attended the launching of the newly improved website of MMSU held at the University Library on October 18. The new website can be accessed at http://www.mmsu.edu.ph.

MMSU President Miriam E. Pascua said the university is compelled to improve its website so that “we could compete in globalizing our programs for the sake of our students” and to keep pace with the dynamic technology so that we can “sell” the university to the world.

“We should keep attuned in the advancement of information technology if we don’t want to be left behind by other institutions,” the president said, adding that she felt elated by the launching with “the way things are developing in the university.” She assured that the new website is safe from cyber hacking.

On her part, MMSU Vice President Prima Fe R. Franco lauded the concerted efforts by those who worked hard for the improvement of the new website saying that this is another milestone in the history of MMSU.

“Central to our collective effort to go globally and to realize our vision of becoming a world class university is the need to make our web page open to the world, thus, it must be attractive, acceptable, and accessible,” she said.

Franco has reminded the students and the university employees that “we are living in the midst of the information superhighway. Thus, the need to be kept abreast with the changing trends in cutting edge technology can never be emphasized.”

Franco considered the network in the cyberspace as complicated as the network of nerve cells in the human body, because the interconnection is basically anchored to the combination of a determining factor for the processing efficiency of any program.

“As we showcase our institution in the cyber world, it should be everybody’s effort to make our web page dynamic, protected from hacking, operating within the bounds of cyber ethics and free from cyber contaminants,” she stressed.


Led by Prof. Reynold P. Villacillo, director of the university Information Technology Center (ITC), the following university personnel helped in improving the MMSU website: Arlene Gonzales (CAFSD), Lee Carlos Simon (CAS), Joy Garvida (CASAT), Lyle Van Aldrich Ines (CHS), Armie Sabugo (CBEA), Jayvee Mark Villegas (CIT), John Modesto Blanco (CTE), Bobbly Eclarin (COE), Brian Jay Corpuz (COL), Richrad Lee Martin (IUL Batac), Deo Parinas (LHS Laoag), General Valdez (LES Laoag), and Sharon Laeda (CMR).
