The Bulacan State University College of Criminal Justice Education (BulSU-CCJE) is a college within the BulSU system which offers Criminology and Legal management. Before BulSU-CCJE was established in 2011, the university offered BS Criminology and AB Legal Management through its College of Social Science and Philosophy (CSSP).

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION

THE BIRTH OF A COLLEGE

The College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) saw the first light of the day on January 6, 2011 through the BulSU Board of Regents Resolution No. 48, s. 2010, forming it as a separate college from the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP). It was in the second week of January, 2011, however, that the formal severance of CCJE from its mother-college took place. So, for 7 years, in the case of Legal Management, and for 4 years, in the case of Criminology, these two programs had been under the protective wings of CSSP.

As mandated, the courses of Bachelor of Arts in Legal Management and Bachelor of Science in Criminology were placed under the newly-formed College (CCJE) to be headed by a new dean. As fate would have it, Retired Provincial Prosecutor of Bulacan Amando C. Vicente, who was then a member of the Faculty of CSSP and College of Law, was tapped to be its acting dean with Dr. Daniel S. Ortega, DPA, as assistant dean. Thereafter, the new dean designated Ms. Bernadette P. Yalong, a law graduate, and Mr. Eduardo D. Masirag, a licensed Criminologist, as department heads of Legal Management and Criminology, respectively.

On a historical note, Bachelor of Arts in Legal Management was opened ahead of Criminology in SY 2003-2004. Eight years thereafter, the members of the 1st batch led by Magna Cum Laude graduate Ismael Sarangaya, Jr., who took up Law, passed the 2012 BAR Examination together with his classmates Marichriz Dumalay and Irene Charmaine Concepcion.

The course in Bachelor of Science in Criminology came later. It was opened in SY 2006-2007 by virtue of Board Regents Resolution No. 23, s. 2007 issued on May 7, 2007, pursuant to CHED[] Memo (CMO) No. 21, s. 2005, implementing the provisions of RA 7722, otherwise known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994”, which provides for a rationalized Criminal Justice Education in the country that shall include degree program in Criminology. Four years later, on April 8, 2011, the 1st batch of 20 students graduated. Sixteen took the PRC Licensure Examination given in October, 2011 and 12 of them made it thereby establishing a passing rate of 75%, as against the national passing rate of 43.74%. It was the highest performance in Central Luzon.

The birth of CCJE is not without birthpains. Streamlining of Faculty, hiring of competent professors, improving the curriculum and facilities were the tall order of the day. To address them, prominent lawyers, RTC Judges and other professionals were tapped to handle law subjects in the legal management and technical subjects in the criminology department in the fledgling college.

With the end in view of improving the chances of its graduates in seeking employment after graduation, stenotyping was added to the curriculum of the Legal Management in 2012.

Meanwhile, in the succeeding PRC examinations, the graduates from Criminology Department made their marks again. In the October, 2012 PRC Board Licensure Examination, 32 out of 45 candidates passed thereby establishing 71.11% passing rate as against the national passing rate of 43.74% again, the highest in the Region. Fatima Jose, who graduated Magna Cum Laude, got a general average of 88% thereby putting her among the top 15 in the said board examination.

In the other tough examination given by the NAPOLCOM for Philippine National Police(PNP) Entrance given nationwide on October 14, 2012, 13 BulSU graduates passed it led by Angelo Moriente who placed No. 18 among the top 20. In the mid-term examination given on April 7 to 9, 2013, 9 out of 11 board takers from BulSU made it thereby establishing a passing rate of 81.82% as against the national passing rate of 42.28%.

The pursuit for excellence by the College reached its crescendo in the October 2013 licensure examination when out of 68 first-timers examinees led by their Magna Cum Laude Gettro Chad Guillermo and Dean’s lister Jeremiah Jodloman, 50 passed thereby establishing a passing rate of 70.42% as against the national passing rate of 45.27% with the aforementioned two landed NO. 9th (Jodloman) and No. 10th (Guillermo) among the Top 10, a feat which made their Dean poorer by Php 20,000.00, the cash award given to them for their splendid performance.

On the LegMa’s front, the Department shone even brighter when its Dean’s lister, Jacqueline Gan, won the presidency of the Student Government in the 2013 university-wide election. On February 26, 2011, the LegMa students were declared the Champion in the “Battle of the Intelex VI” held at F.E.U. Auditorium.

The idea of putting up a College of Criminology at BulSU was the brainchild of the former BulSU President Rosario Pimentel. Sometime in 2006, President Pimentel asked Fiscal Vicente, in the presence of Justice Jose dela Rama, Dean of the College of Law, to secure a copy of curriculum for Criminology from a school in Manila for easy reference, which was complied with the following day.

The idea of opening a criminology program, however, did not come instantly from nowhere. In May of 2007, Dr. Reynaldo S. Naguit, Dean of CSSP, submitted his feasibility study about the viability of opening said course at BulSU. Notwithstanding the financial requirements considering the need for a laboratory to be equipped with modern equipment, the school’s officials, with the imprimatur of the Board of Regents, proceeded with the establishment of the course in the university realizing the need for such program in this part of Region III. From a single section of about 25 students, it is now a full 4-year level course with 3 sections each and populated by about 587 criminology students, all hoping to be law-enforcers in the future. On the other hand, the Department of Legal Management has about 421 students spread in the 4-year levels with 2 sections each.

As of today, both Legal Management and Criminology departments have already produced hundreds of young men and women who are trying their best to find their niche in their chosen fields of endeavor.

As to our Legal Management graduates, 3 of them are now in the active practice of law. Some are still in the College of Law pursuing a course in Juris Doctor, and others can be seen in banks, private companies and in some government offices.

With our Criminology graduates, about 20 of them are now at the PNP, others at the PNPA, security agencies, Post Office, Mall Security, Coast Guard and in business enterprises.

The College of Criminal Justice Education believes in the aphorism which says “There is always a room at the top.” The college, with the help of the Almighty God and support from the Administration officials, will always look towards that direction to find its rightful place among the top colleges in the country with its continuous quest for excellence. –By the DEAN
