The state universities and colleges (SUCs) are the
concrete fulfillment of the role of the Philippine state to
fully develop the country’s human resources. There
are, at present, twenty nine (29) SUCs in all of the six
(6) regions in Southern Philippines. Mindanao still
stands as the country’s land of promise. For some, the
promise has become a reality. However, for many
Mindanaoans, the promise remains a dream. The
establishment of a national university in Southern
Philippines will greatly contribute to the realization of
that dream.
