During that time, Tagbilaran City was the only nearest place that offers college education and only few are capable of sending their children to Cebu and Manila for higher education.

It is through the efforts of then Sangguniang Bayan secretary, Cesar Mascarinas, parish priest Rev. FR. Tom Balatayo and an educator Lourdes H. Torrefranca, Ph.D., that drafted the idea of funding a college into a reality. Finally, Resolution no. 78 (series of 1983) of the town council was passed for this act. The first set of the Members of the Board of Trustees and Incorporators of the school were:
