Facade

Bulacan Agricultural State College is an agricultural state college located in San Ildefonso, Bulacan, Philippines.It prides itself of being the lone agricultural HEI in the province of Bulacan. Its former name is Bulacan National Agricultural State College (BNASC).

History

The story of Bulacan Agricultural State College, a product of six decades of educational and sociopolitical metamorphoses, is humble and remarkable. At present, it is a state-funded institution of learning which was established in 1952 at Brgy. Pinaod, San Ildefonso, Bulacan.

Prior to this development, it started as the Plaridel Community Agricultural High School (PCAHS) established at Brgy. Bintog, Plaridel, Bulacan in 1951. Soon after, PCAHS was renamed Bulacan Provincial Agricultural High School (BPAHS) having just about 100 students. A growth in the student population occurred as students arrived not just from local communities but from other municipalities in the province as well. On 20 June 1953, its name was again changed into Bulacan National Agricultural High School (BNAHS) by virtue of Republic Act 948.

On 8 June 1955, then Pres. Ramon DF. Magsaysay signed Proclamation 163 reserving around 192.5 hectares of the Buenavista Estate for BNAHS. By virtue of Republic Act 2416, BNAHS was converted to Bulacan National Agricultural School (BuNAS) on 21 June 1959.

In 1960, the two-year Associate in Agriculture program became part of the curricula existing in BuNAS; the first tertiary education program offered in the school which eventually led to the offering of the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree with majors in Agronomy and Animal Husbandry.

Cognizant to the prevalent agriculture education and training needs of Bulakeños at that time, Hon. Ricardo C. Silverio, then Representative of the 3rd District of Bulacan, authored House Bill 2389 which proposed for an expanded educational program for BuNAS. With the bilateral approval of both Houses, then Pres.Fidel V. Ramos signed Republic Act 8548 officially converting BuNAS into a chartered state college known as the Bulacan National Agricultural State College (BNASC) on 24 February 1998. Over time, its name was changed to Bulacan Agricultural State College (BASC) by virtue of Republic Act 9249 signed by Former President Gloria M. Arroyo on 19 February 2004.
