Four new passenger vans were ceremonially blessed on April 4, 2026, to support official travel and other university functions.
The Southern Luzon State University (SLSU) Board of Regents (BOR), led by CHED Commissioner and BOR Chairperson, Hon. Myrna Q. Mallari, and University President, Hon. Frederick T. Villa, led the event. Hon. Mallari described the acquisition of the vehicles as a “blessing,” noting that it is not common for state universities and colleges to acquire such transportation assets.
The purchase of the four passenger vans, costing a total of Php 9.92 million, was authorized after securing an Authority to Purchase Motor Vehicles from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and obtaining the approval under the BOR Resolution No. 05, s. 2026, during the Special Board Meeting held on March 6. The passenger vans are expected to support travel for activities related to education and other engagements.
Members of the BOR also visited the SLSU Main Campus at Lucban, Quezon, to participate in the 1st Regular Board Meeting held on the same day.
