KALIBO, Aklan – Aklan Catholic College (ACC) has a new President to manage the academic and non-academic activities of the college beginning Academic Year 2007-2008.

In his letter to Aklan Gov. Carlito S. Marquez, Lazo stressed that the installation of Fr. Joebert Villasis as the new president will be held on July 9, 2007 at 3:00 P.M. in the St. John the Baptist Cathedral.

“Together with the officials of CHED Region 6, DepEd Aklan, local government officials, alumni and other stakeholders, we will make this event in catholic college and in the academic life of Fr. Villasis truly significant, memorable and a celebration of thanksgiving,” Bishop Lazo added.

Marquez, an outstanding alumnus of the college, said the provincial government admires

Aklan Catholic College for its commitment in providing dynamic management, highly qualified, competent faculty and staff endowed with strong sense of Christian values, technology-based instructions, support for educational innovations and development, efficient and effective delivery of educational services and adherence to the total development of man for God and country.
