BRIEF HISTORY OF LUBANG VOCATIONAL HIGH

SCHOOL

The Lubang Vocational High School traces its roots from

1967 by virtue of Housebill 110, Rep. Act 5038, sponsored by

Honorable Congressman Pedro D. Medalla. It was formally started

in July 15, 1971 at Tilik, Lubang, Occidental Mindoro, with 8 male

enrollees and 3 teachers as pioneers of the school which was placed

under the supervision of Mr. Cefres the Principal of Bongabon

School of Fisheries and by Superintendent Antonio Ganir of MINAS,

Alcate, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro.

In December 1971, four students left while the other four

also dropped in January 1972, So, the school was temporarily

closed.

On July 5, 1972, the school was reopened and was housed

at Mr. Rolando Abeleda’s residence. On the day itself, Mrs. Melania

Pacheco, the District Supervisor of Lubang, offered one room in

LubangCentral School. When Mr. Porfirio Banzuelo, the new

Principal, arrived a makeshift room was made in the same school

site while the office was housed at Mr. Cenon Torreliza’s house.

In the school year 1973 – 1974 it was transferred to Mr.

Liberato Tiatson’s residence.

In the school year 1974 – 1975, the first batch of female

student’s enrolled showing an abrupt increase of enrolment. Due to

this increase, additional residences of Mr. Luis Masangkay and Mrs.

Juana Torreliza were rented from June 4, 1974 to July 28, 1974.

July 29, 1974 marked the beginning of Lubang Vocational

High School in its own site which is located one kilometer from the

town proper. The six – hectare school site was bought from Mrs.

Maria Malabanan Abeleda. In that same year, a shop building

housing the related and vocational classes was constructed as well

as the Marcos type building used for offices and supply room.

In June 1975, Mr. Hermenigildo F. Tayco replaced Mr.

Porfirio Banzuelo. Six building were constructed to house the

immensely increasing enrolment. A water tank, concrete fence and

power house were added to the school facilities. The track and field

oval was laid out for sporting purposes.

On March 20, 1990 as provided by Act No. 2706, as

amended and Batas Pambansa Blg. 232 ( Education Act of 1982)

with Government Permit ( R – IV ) No. TV – P – 014 – TV – P – 015,

s.1990, the school was officially granted the status of a Post-

Secondary bearing its present name. Three additional buildings were

constructed to house the Technical classes.

In 1991, Mrs. Marita Tamayosa an alumna of LVHS was

designated Officer-in-Charge upon Mr. Tayco’s retirement. On

September 9, 1992, Mr. Carlos M. Prades Jr, a former faculty

member succeeded the principalship. Mr. Prades made additional

improvement in the school plant and facilities. Three classroom

buildings for the Technical Education classes, and a guest house

were constructed. Rearrangement of classrooms was made to

facilitate administration of school functions and services. A service

truck and jeep were purchased for the Automotive classes. In 2001,

the Trade Technical Courses were closed due to failure of

accrediting courses. In 2003, a power cab was donated by Mayor

Juan M. Sanchez. In hosting the 2003 Provincial Meet, a grandstand

improvement of the oval and road leading to various parts of the

school plant were made. In spite of the changes of supervision by

LVHS HANDBOOK LVHS HANDBOOK

the educational hierarchy the school maintained its Technical-

Vocational Education Program up to its present status, the

Strenghtened Technical-Vocational Education Program.

Mr. Carlos M. Prades Jr. retired on December 31, 2009 and Mrs.

Marita A. Tamayosa was again designated as OIC. In May Mrs.

Tamayosa applied for a leave of absence due to health problem and

Mrs. Teresita I. Sales was designated OIC in her absence.

Mrs. Marita A. Tamayosa was then officially appointed as

Principal II on February 1, 2012.

The problems that LVHS meet are the lack of feeder schools

and entrance of few above average enrollees. But in spite of the

problems met, it stands firm at the time of crisis because it has a

strong work force composed of dedicated innovative, loyal,

responsible, involved, committed and cooperative teachers and

office staff supported by town officials and its people.

The challenge that LVHS meets today in its continuing

existence is the strengthening of technical-vocational education

curriculum supportive to the national/ regional development goals

such that its major concern is matching the quality and quantity of

manpower to the demands and requirements of national and

regional development as well as to increase capabilities for

entrepreneurial endeavor.

After 40 years of fruitful community services, LVHS

produced graduates who are excelling in their field of specialization

working here and abroad serving as school’s pride and propaganda.

Competency- Based Curriculum (CBC). It is a framework or guide for

the subsequent detailed development of curriculum and associated

methodologies and training and assessment resources. The CBC

consultations.

CURRICULUM DESIGN

Following the competency- based curriculum under the

“Strengthened Technical Vocational Education Program

(STVEP)”, the first year level offering is exploratory focusing

on the basic principles and practices in each of the areas of

specialization in Arts and Trades.

The offering of the specializations starts in the second year

and is based on the interest of the students, needs of the

community and the capability of the school to offer such

specialization.

The teaching strategies or instructions are flexible to

accommodate related activities outside the school like

practicum in the work environment. Schools are

encouraged in this regard to enter into a partnership with

local industries for the students’ exposure and work

experience.

Fourth year students are encouraged to undergo Supervised

Industry Exposure or On-the-Job Training (OJT) depending

on the availability of industries in the locality.

The unit credit assigned to any TVE subject is three (3) units

each.

nomenclature TVE (Exploratory) for Year I and TVE

(Specialization) to be specified by the school for Years II to

IV.

Students are given two options in choosing their area of

specialization; it is based from the two highest grades in the

exploratory classes. Shifting from one area of specialization

to another is not allowed if students are already in their

third year and fourth years.

Selection of specialization of students shall be done before
