The Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) has attested UB Legal Management as they advanced to level two.
A compilation of programs and accomplishments of ALMMa, such as ALMMalasakit, Anti-VAWC, Dare to Lead seminar, etc., were presented to the accreditation event. All levels of legal management students were required to participate, headed by ALMMa adviser, Atty. Jonathan Dimaano, ALMMa program head, Atty. Ronel Marcelo, and other professors and sponsors.
“Ang accreditation is for us, Legal Management, para mas ma-recognize pa ng ibang tao or mahikayat pa namin ang ibang mga students na mag-take ng course na ito,” Leigh Criselle Mendoza, a fourth year Legal Management student said.
“Hindi lang naman ito para saming LegMa students. Para naman ito sa ibang mga future Legal Management students. Para din ‘to saming mga profs tapos para rin ‘to sa mga naging seniors namin at sa mga naging abogadong seniors namin,” Mendoza added on witnessing the accreditation event.
PACUCOA’s policy requires a two-year period of Level II status before applying for Level III status, and five-year period of Level III status before applying for Level IV status. The University of Batangas College of Arts and Sciences currently holds AB Political Science and AB Psychology as the highest accredited majors in the department with Level IV 1st RA status.
“Malaking tulong talaga itong accreditation para maging level 3 kami, para mas mag-aim for high talaga kaming legal management students,” Mendoza said.
The University of Batangas intends the organization of Legal Management to advance its accreditation to acquire more privileges and to prove that their university is undeniably the best.
