INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The Bachelor in Technology and Livelihood Education program (BTLE) is designed to

provide students with a strong foundation on livelihood and technology related activities.

The Technical-Vocational Education-based TLE is focused on technical skills

development in any area. Five common competencies, based on the training regulations of

the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), are covered in the

exploratory phase (Grades 7 and 8): mensuration and calculation, technical drafting, use of tools

and equipment, maintenance of tools and equipment, and occupational health and safety. The

specialization phase is from Grades 9 to 12.

The Entrepreneurship Education-based TLE is focused on the learning of some livelihood

skills every quarter, so that the student may be equipped to start a small household enterprise

with family members. It covers three domains: Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies, Market

and Environment, and Process and Delivery. The five common competencies from TESDA are

integrated in the Process and Delivery domain.

The program aims to produce graduates who are competent, competitive, ethical and

systematic, in promoting livelihood activities and improving the quality of life in the community.

THE PROJECT SUMMARY

Name of School: JOHN B. LACSON COLLEGES FOUNDATION (BACOLOD), INC.

Location : 8 JB Drive, Pauline Village, Brgy. Alijis, Bacolod City

Definition of the Study

John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation – Bacolod currently offers Basic Education
programs as a response to the mandate of the Department of Education through RA 10533
(Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013). In June 2016, the school offers Senior High Programs
specializing in Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization (PBMS), Science, Technology,
Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy, Business & Management (ABM),
Technology-Vocational Livelihood (TVL) in Home Economics. The PBMS programs gradually
introduce students to the maritime profession being the school’s flagship program, however not
all of the students are decided to proceed as BS in Marine Transportation and BS in Marine
Engineering.
By offering Bachelor in Technology and Livelihood Education program, the TVL
graduates has the opportunity to continue their studies in this school by taking program other
than maritime. Graduates of this new program are tuned to the values of integrity, perseverance,
loyalty, excellence, discipline, godliness, and equality that are essential in their holistic
development as future professionals in the fields of education.

Projected Long-Range Objectives

As a higher educational institution known of its maritime and maritime related programs;
the Bachelor in Technology and Livelihood Education project aims to provide diversity to
qualified entrants to this specialized program. Students graduated from this project will emerge
on the culture of resilience, excellence, agility, and leadership that the school capitalized. The
designed curriculum that composed the program will develop graduate’s flexibility to satisfy
learner’s needs at various level of learning, yet focus on a single goal, that is to be able to teach
Technology and Livelihood Education to all regardless of passion or enthusiasm with meaning,
relevance, interesting, and fun.

Feasibility Criteria
The following are the criteria in order to have a feasible project proposal:
1. Financial Aspect (25%). Includes the summation of the possible expenses needed in the
operation of the school. This is important to determine the Return of Investment (ROI)
within the three-year operation of the school.
 2. Marketing Aspect (25%). It shows the demand, supply, and demand and supply analysis
of the educational venture. It is through marketing that the whole project relies and exists.
Enrolment depends on how effective the marketing is.
3. Management Aspect (25%). A well-trained workforce that will provide effective and
efficient delivery of basic education services that will help students to decide whether
they are meant for a maritime profession.
4. Technical Aspect (15%). It shows the technical lay out of facilities and equipment to be
used in the delivery of basic education services for the development of well-rounded

the umbrella of the human resource department which campaigns for enrolment for both
high school and college. Alumni and current students enrolled in the JHS and SHS as
well as in BSMT and BSMarE will encouraged their children, brothers and sisters who
are not inclined to maritime profession to enroll in the land-based program Bachelor in
Technology and Livelihood Education. The college students form part of the marketing
aspects as they present wholesome images with attitudes in public.

Management Feasibility
This aspect of the feasibility study defines the workforce effectiveness and efficiency that
will determine how sensitive and humane the management addresses their needs. The
stability of the enrolment depends on the ability and skill of the management to hold them.
It’s good to note that the management is pro-workforce as it recognizes their importance in
the organization being the 8th agenda of the school. The faculty profile will composed of
general education teachers currently employed in the school who are experts in the fields of
TLE and education with masters and doctorate degrees from known colleges and universities

Lacson Colleges Foundation-Bacolod. The classes will be housed temporarily at Odjfell
compound located within the campus adequately equipped with the needed facilities. The
classrooms are within the access of the school’s main library and the JHS Library is within the
compound. The canteen, rest rooms, covered court and clinic are located just within the reach.
Future plans to construction a 2-storey 16 classrooms building with library, computer area,
laboratories and other needed facility within the high school department area will be
implemented if necessary.

Financial Stability
The tuition fee and other fees are the main source of funds that will finance the operation.
Other source funds are in the form of grant-in-aids, donations, gifts, and bequeaths. Scholarships
from linkages and other benefactors to poor but deserving students will also be available as being
currently practice in the college.

Legal and Taxation Feasibility

a major source of competent seafarers and other professionals in the future.
History
John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation-Bacolod is inseparable with the history of its
mother school in Iloilo City. It was born out of the same zeal, commitment and education to give
out the best education as dreamt by its founder, Captain Juan Lacson, a reserve Lieutenant
Commander in the United States Coast Guard Service. This is the same zeal which was
continued by its first president, Dr. Mary Lou L. Arcelo in 1972 and currently by the CEO, Dr.
Raymund Ronald L. Sebastian.
The school started as an extension branch/campus of the Iloilo Maritime Academy (IMA)
in Iloilo City. The eight (8) hectare-lot where it serenely nestled was acquired in 1974; however,
operation started in 1976, offering associate courses in Maritime Program.
Through the effort of Dr. Mary Lou L. Arcelo, the academy was converted into a
foundation in 1985 and was named John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation.
In 1993, JBLCF-Bacolod together with the two other academic units JBLCF-Arevalo and
JBLCF-Molo and JBLCF-Puerto del Mar, became independent and autonomous foundations in
operation but are one in direction, vision and mission through the creation of the fifth foundation
known as JBLF or the mother foundation where the Training Center belongs. Each unit has its
own set of Board of Directors which also set as the members of the Board of Directors of the
entire JBLF System chaired by Dr. Mary Lou L. Arcelo. Each unit is under the direct
administration and supervision of the Administrator which represents the unit to the Executive
Council.
In 1996, the JBLF System, in its intense propensity to be internationally-competitive in
marine education, started to seek accreditation with DNV (Det Norske Veritas), a reputable
international assessor, and thus the school augurs well as the first accredited maritime learning
institution in the Philippines. In 2007, the school’s quality management system is certified to ISO
9001 by Bureau Veritas Certification (BVC).
Today, JBLCF-Bacolod is the home of the Norwegian Ship-owners Association (NSA)
company scholars, the Odfjell scholars and the Jo Tankers scholars. They are among the 4,204
cadets currently enrolled managed by 142 faculty members and 84 administrative staff with
Capt. Luis G. Evidente at the helm.
With its ISO 9001:2008 Certification by BVC together with CHED and PACU-COA
Level III Re-accreditation, John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation-Bacolod is persistent in its
dream of achieving academic excellence in maritime education and other programs both national
and international.

Project Time Table

The Bachelor in Technology and Livelihood Education program will start its first year of
operation on school year 2020-2021 that will commence on school year 2023-2024. The first
graduate may be employed as early as June 2024 after passing the licensure examination for
teachers (LET) or as a probationary teacher in college. They may proceed to graduate school
program to achieve higher position in the academe.

Nature of the Project

Aside from the tuition fee that the school will minimally charge, JBLCF-B Bachelor of
Technology and Livelihood Education will also source funds in the form of grant-in-aids,
donations, and gifts, bequeaths, etc. and from benefactors. For the initial operations, the
department will be subsidized making it integral in the financial viability of JBLCF-Bacolod.
