Campus Director of Calatrava Campus
The Romblon State University- Calatrava Campus started its humble beginnings as a Barangay High School in 1967, known as the Calatrava Barangay High School. The following is the brief historical metamorphosis after its founding year:
1983 – The Calatrava Barangay High School was converted into Calatrava National (Barangay) High School (CNHS), offering a complete Secondary Course headed by an Administrative Assistant but under the supervision of the Schools Division Superintendent. Among its former school manager was Mr. Aguinaldo M. Fortu, an Elementary School Principal of Calatrava Central School.
1985- The Calatrava National (Barangay) High School was converted into Romblon College of Fisheries and Forestry– Calatrava Annex (RCFF) by Batas Pambansa 553. A two-year Fishery curriculum leading to the title of Diploma in Fishery Technology (DFT) was opened, then a four-year Fishery curriculum was opened after two years with a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries.
January 12, 2001 – RCFF was converted under the Conversion Act of Batas Pambansa 393 into Romblon State College - Calatrava Branch. The high school department or Laboratory High School was placed out as part of the conversion policies. Concurrently, Calatrava National High School was reenacted with its first year of opening. Several curricular offerings mushroomed in the College, such as BEED, BSE, BSIT, and BSHRM, because of the community's demand.
January 12, 2001 – The former Romblon College of Fisheries and Forestry (RCFF) was created under Batas PambansaBlg. 553 was fully integrated into Romblon State College-Odiongan, Romblon by virtue of BOT Resolution No. 3, S. 2001, dated January 12, 2001, and named RSC Calatrava Campus which later was renamed as RSC-Calatrava Branch through joint resolution of the Administrative and Academic Councils in conformity with IGI-CSI issued under MEMO Order Number 27, S. 2000. BSAg was opened because the strength of the College lies in the two BS Agriculture Education graduate major in Agronomy and Animal Husbandry. To upgrade the College, it was called the College of Agro-Forestry, maintaining the BSF and BEED where BSIT gradually placed out.
October 14, 2009 – The Romblon State College was converted into Romblon State University under Republic Act 9721 entitled, "An Act Converting the Romblon State College in The Municipality of Odiongan, Province of Romblon into a State University to be known as the Romblon State University and Appropriating Funds Therefore." House Bill No. 5217, authored by Hon. Eleandro Jesus F. Madrona, Congressman, Lone District of Romblon, paved the way for the conversion of Romblon State College into a State University.
October 14, 2009 - Romblon State College - Calatrava Branch was converted into College of Agro-Forestry up to the present. It offered courses prescribed in its Charter and other relevant courses that the Board of Trustees may deem necessary, like BSIT, BSE, BSAg, BEEd, and BSF, as the population demands.
