MEYCAUAYAN COLLEGE
The Board of Directors 2009
Chairman Dr. Jose R. Locsin
"The rapid changes for the progress
of the Meycauayan College could be attributed to a man whose vision about the school is beyond the ordinary
achievable mark. His remarkable achievements are witnesses that could attest to the present condition enjoyed both
by the faculty and the studentry.
He assumed his educational responsibilities as Chairman of the Board of Trustees in 1991 after leaving the 45 years
of medical services which ended up as the Director of the National Orthopedic Hospital. He has received several
plaques and commendations for outstanding performance in various capacities as medical practitioner and administrator in both
private and government services.
His professional career was also spent abroad. He had travelled in different countries in Asia and in Europe.
Looking back, he is the son of Mr. Julian M. Locsin and Mrs. Matilde Ballesteros. He was primarily educated at
Daraga Elementary School and Albay High School. He moved to Manila and obtained his Doctor of Medicine Degree with
specialization in Bone Surgery from the University of Sto. Tomas.
Meeting one of the pretty lasses of Meycauayan, Luz Hermoso, he frequented the town not knowing that someday,
he will be staying for good. Luz Hermoso was the former treasurer of the Meycauayan College (Meycauayan Institute before).
When he retired from duty, he readily accepted the position alien to him, not only for the love of the wife but also
for the challenge of a new responsibility. He became the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He immediately improved
facilities and enhanced the full educational system of the college by computerizing departments and offices and
providing better facilities.
To his credit, the school owed the renovation of the fully air-conditioned libraries and offices; the establishments of the
solemn yet air-conditioned chapel (Bahay Dalanginan ni San Jose) and the covered gymnasium, that can carry a capacity of thousand
spectators.
The man who never tries to dream and realize that dream of Meycauayan College and its community is the Honorable Chairman
of the Board of Directors and its Executive Officer, Dr. Jose R. Locsin, a native of Bicol and the adopted son and leader
of Meycauayan educational system.
