The Eastem Sama「 State Universrty had ltS肌Cipience on February

14′ 1960 as the Eastem Samar National Regional AgriculturaI SchooI or

ESNRAS through R.A. 2434. Its pioneer class started with 120 students

holding sessions i= a 「ented bui旧ing in Barangay Songco, Borongan,

Before the s⊂hool year was ove「′ the schooI site was establjshed ln

Malbog′ a faト帥ng barrio of Boronganl 「ea⊂hable only by cIimbjng steep

mOuntajns and by c「ossing swo=en creeks. In 1967I When the plan to

COnStruCt a rOad leading to the schooI s-te dwindled′ the schooI was

resettled to its p「esent site in Barangay Maypangdan′ Which lS

apPrOXlmately seven kilomete「s awaY from the capital ⊂itγ Of Borongan.

ESNRASIs thrust was prima「時On agriculturaI science instruction so

aS tO improve the Iargely agrj⊂Ultural way o帥fe in the province of Eastem

Samar. Since the =ve=hood of鹿絶hanon depended mainly on rice

PrOductionI COCO…t farming′ and fishing with the use of traditional

P「aC貯CeS and tooIs, ESNRAS offered secondary vocatIOnal ag「ic亜u「e and

thereby p「0Vided training fo「 upg「ad-ng traditlonal agrlCUIture in the area.

In 1973, the schooI was converted into the ∈astern Samar Junior

Agric亜ural Co=ege (ESJAC) in response to the clamor of many parents to

Offer a co=egiate cou「se. ESJAC promptly offe「ed the Asso⊂iate in

AgricuIture program. consequently BS Agriculture was instituted酬th

SPe⊂ialization血C「OP Science and Animal Science. Notable was the Sharp

rise in enrolment refle〔請ng the high demand for the above mentioned

PrOg「amS in the ⊂O嶋ge se「vice area. As the enrolment in these deg「ee

PrOgramS Steadlly lnCreaSed, ESJAC was converted into the Eastern Samar
College of AgrlCuIture (ESCA).

As the g10bal scenario be⊂ame highlγ te⊂hnoIogicaI and complex,

the state deemed it fi亡to convert ESCA lntO the ∈astern Samar State

Co用ege (ESSC) by virtue of励鋤s Pambansa動y. 394 on May 18, 1983.

丁his conversion eventu訓y paved the way to rapid expanston in program

SuPerVised instltut'OnS Of the p「ovin⊂e tO be integrated into the

State COlleges and unive「Sities. This integration immense-y broadened the

Services of the coIIege・ ESSC became the ESSC system with the o「ig nal

ESSC ⊂amPUS in Borongan serving as the Mam Campus. The ESSC

System has th「ee extemal campuses which are strategjca時situated jn

IndMdual commitment to exce=ence lS Central to the

Values that ESSU promotes. The u印VerSity w用be able to achieve

exce=ence through adherence to the highest standa「ds of

Performance and by co=aborating with the veiγ best in the fields of

instruction, reSearCh, eXtenSIOn, and productlOn・

.重ntegritγ

Integrfty ls the qualfty of being honest or mor訓y uprlght.

This is a value that is developed and lea「ned overtime, In ESSU′

we b(郭eve that adherence to and shared understanding of ethi⊂a!

PrinciPles is necessary for effective co=aboration within an academlC

COmmUnity that is why we make decISions that reIy on truth and

honesty, lnte「nal congruence. openness and transparencY.

● Account種b捕ty

Every nnember of the ES⊆U community has the ob母atIOn tO

account for his/her everY a⊂tion, decISion or activities and for

Whatever money or property the …iversity entrusts to him/her.

He/She must accept responsib腔y for whatever w=l be the

COnSequenCeS it may bring and to discIose the resuIts ln a

transparent manne「. Thus, he/She must act With cautiorl and

utmost consideration for ethics and honesty in the workplace.

 1.5 Administrative Organization

The university adm面St「ation is conducted in 3 !evels, nameiY,

Central or top, mIddIe, and lower leveしWith alIthoritles Iocated in each

Ievel" The central o「 top adm面stration of ESSU is comprised of the

universlty PreSjdent and 3 vice presidents (VPs) for whl⊂h its

inst:ruCtion function is administered by the VP for Academic A陥irs′ the

Planning′ reSea「Ch and extension functions by the VP for PIanning′

Research a=d Extension′ Whife the adm面Strative and support servIces by

the VP fo「 Adm涌stration.

The maximum autho「ity of the Unive「sity lS Iodged at the Board of

Regents and there are three higher councils with de=berative, PreSCriptive

and consultative functjons --一the Academic Counc=, the AdminlStrative

CounciI, and the Research and ExtensIOn Council. The Academic Counc旧s

in setting llP the u印VerSjty七research and extension st「uctures′ P「iorities,

∈SSU is structured in 5 campuses. The centrai administration is

the environment in which it operates such as:

1) Quality Programs that passed the accredItation standards of

2.2 ESSU’s Role in伽e DeveIopment Focus of its Extemal Environment

∈astern Samar is one of the poo「est p「OVinces in the Ph帥ppines,

Most of its fam帥es depend on fa「ming and fishing as a source of

柄elihood. ESSU being the Ione higher education institutlO両n this part of

the count「y has a major roie to play in helping combat poverty throug旧ts

mission of pl’OViding instruく荊On, 「eSearCh opportunities, and communitY

outreach prpjects. As provlde「 Of agriculture educatlOn, the Unive「S章ty Can

h∂Ve CO獲laborative wo「ks wit11 the Offlce of the ProvincIal Agricuitu「al

Services (OPAS) in the province and the 「egional offices of the

Department of Ag「iculture and the Ag「icultural Tralning Institute (ATI)

PurSuit of agriCUIturai development of the province. Moreover, ESSU has

to be compliant with the dlre〔tlVe for sねte universjtIeS∴and co=eges

(SUCs) to be key inst「uments in the implementation of the AgricIIIture and

Fisheries ModernIZation Act, Climate Change Act, and the Disaster Risk

Redu(貼On Act which we「e recentIy passed and app「OVed. Thus, It Can

also partner with the Bu「eau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resour⊂eS and the

Department of Envi「Onment and Natu「al Resources, eSPeCia=y w軸the

extension and communfty out「each projects of the BS Fisheries and BS

Environmental Science pogram offerings of the Universlty.

Essenti訓y, ESSU should not merely deveIop relevant cu「ricula「

PrOgramS tO increase ma叩OWer CaPa⊂itIeS but implement lmPaCt

PrOgramS that are add「essed to reducing poverty and modernizing the

agro-indust「ial sector in the context of sustainable development, Thus,

ESSU has a majo「 「Ole in the affirmation of the deveIopment efforts of the

nattonaI govemment. ThlS Deveiopment Plan is fし川y anchored on the 3

ロ帥a「s of the Ph消ppine Development Plan 2017-2022, namely.

“maIasaklt” or enhanclng the sociaI fabric, “Pagbabago〃 or inequalfty-

reducting transfo「mation, and “patuloy na pag-unlad” or in⊂reaS涌g

growth potential, Of the 3 p紺ars言t is in the “pagbabago〃 p栂r that the

Unive「sitY W紺embra⊂e a= the 4 strategie goaIs. These a「e: 1) expanding

e⊂OnOmlC OPPOrtunities in agricu看ture, forestrY and fisheries,2) expanding

economic opportl面tIeS in indust「Y and servi⊂eS through ‘‘trabaho’’and

‘‘negosyo,’’ 3) accelerating human capital deveIopment, and 4) 「educing

VUlne「ab冊y of indjviduaIs∴and fam鵬S. In the ‘‘malasaklt′’p紺ar, the

development efforts of the University w紺focllS On enSuring people-

Cente「ed′ Clean and e筒cient governance as we= as in promotlng Philippine

Culture and vaIuesI While in the upatuloy and pag-unlad〃 p腫r, the

University sh訓fl川y consider the natlOnal goal of vlgOroUSly advancing

SClen⊂e, teChnoIogy and innovation (ST重) through ltS reSear⊂h functlOn.

Access to higher educatlOn rePreSents a basic achievement of

Cit:izenshjp rights and this shouId be one of a llnlVe「Sityts most importallt

missions in the social 「esponsjb航Y domaIn, ESSU can guara∩tee the

access of students through the p「ovjsIOn and expansIOn Of financial

SuPPOrt and s⊂holarshlP grant Since instruction lS the major functIOn Of the

Unive鴫itY.

Fo「 its research functlOn, the Unive「Sity w用SUPPOrt the NationaI

Higher Education∴Research Agenda of CHED and the Basic EducatlOn

Research Agenda of the Department of EducatlOn. In the performance of

its resea「⊂h and extension (R&E) fun⊂tions, it w用COnSider the R&E thrusts

and priorities of 「egional R&∈ o「ganizations of which the UnlVerSfty is a

member like the Visayas Consortjum fo「 Agri⊂ulture Aqllatic and

CollnC旧or Indust「γ and Ene「gy Resea「ch and Deveゆment (EVICIERD) of

DOST, and the Eastern Visayas Health Resea「ch and Development

In the context of globalization, the University has to align some of

its performance with ASEAN standards and thus∴needs to continue to

COmmIt itseIf wIth the interdisciロlina「y fo「mation of DrOfessjonals,

PrOfessors and researche「s through面tegration of the different fleids of

knowledge and regional and intemationaI exchange among∴Students,

faculty and researchers.

It is on the aforecited development needs and efforts of the

extemal envlrOnment Of ESSU that the University ln this Development
