BSU Students enjoy learning ICT by having their IT classes at Libona CeC.

Libona's CeC takes a remarkable leap in helping their constituents by allowing its center in accommodating students from the newly established Extension Campus of Bukidnon State University (BSU). The center serves as a venue for IT classes catering to 40 students per session held every Tuesday and Thursday. CeC Staff Mr. Ryan Revilla facilitates the classes with focus on programming and Microsoft Office applications.

An amount of P20.00 per week is collected from each student which is remitted directly to the Treasurer’s Office with corresponding receipts. The compulsory fee is intended for the maintenance of the CeC. The activity started last November 2012 and ended in March 2013.

In its commitment in becoming more reliant, competitive and effective, Libona's CeC will continually seek to serve its community in various innovative ways.
