Tarlac State University President Dr. Jasper Jay N. Mendoza visited the Lucinda and San Isidro campuses for an on-site inspection and monitoring of the university’s infrastructures and its current on-the-ground conditions on May 12, 2026.
Pres. Mendoza, together with OIC Vice President for Administration Dr. Marlon V. Gamido, Office of Facilities Development and Management director Ar. Arlen M. Guieb and Engr. John Christian T. Ilaga, led the inspection at the campuses’ buildings, laboratories, and facilities.
At the San Isidro campus, the university president checked the progress of the ongoing construction of the five-story library building funded by Senator Paolo Benigno 'Bam' Aquino IV, alongside discussions on the campus’s water supply concerns and other infrastructure refurbishment initiatives.
Meanwhile, at the Lucinda campus, Pres. Mendoza checked the offices at the Student Center, including the renovation of the TSU amphitheater into a new audio-visual room.
Pres. Mendoza also engaged with students and faculty members to hear immediate concerns and recommendations for university improvements, and he reiterated the message he delivered during this morning’s flag-raising ceremony, emphasizing discipline.
“I only ask you of this, let us bring back discipline and respect in TSU. Let us be disciplined and let us be honest. Disciplined in our time, in our work, in our commitment to the truth. Honest in our reports, in our dealings, and in our service to our students. To achieve this, we must lead by example. Let us rise forward and ignite,” Pres. Mendoza said during short dialogues with faculty members and students.
He also shared his plan to establish a 24/7 mental health helpline and proposed initiatives aimed at improving financial accessibility and digital services within the university.
The newly elected president reaffirmed his commitment to resolving the concerns raised during the inspections through programs aligned with his DALAN framework.
