CATBALOGAN CITY – Catbalogan City Community College (CCCC) is now offering free tuition and miscellaneous fees for five college degree programs, exclusively for residents of Catbalogan City.

Dr. Nigel Cornejo, president of CCCC, announced in a recent press interview that the college, which has been operational for two years, initially offered a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Criminology.
This year, four additional courses have been launched namely BS in Industrial Management, BS in Office Administration, BS in Entrepreneurship with specialization on tourism and hospitality management and BS in Public Administration — with full tuition coverage provided through a directive from Catbalogan City Mayor Dexter Uy Tan.
While the free tuition applies only to Catbalogan residents, Cornejo confirmed that students from nearby towns may also enroll, subject to a minimal fee.
