A BRIEF HISTORY OF KOLEHIYO NG SUBIC

Kolehiyo ng Subic, or known as KNS, is the first community college in the province of
Zambales. Mayor Jeffrey D. Khonghun, the President Emeritus, is the acknowledged founder
and father of the school. With the spirit and fervor of the pioneering members of the faculty, the
clamor of the Subiqueños to have a college of their own was realized. KNS is primarily built and
meant for poor students. When the good mayor assumed office in 2001, one of his
administration’s development pillars is focused on the improvement of education.
The future of the youth was not so promising during that time as Subiqueños find
difficulty in acquiring decent and stable jobs after graduating from high school. It was a
disheartening experience for the mayor to see his constituents turned down for employment due
to academic deficiency. This sad experience led the mayor to entertain thoughts to start a
community college. Hence, consultation with the department heads and researches were done,
resulting to that bold dream of establishing a local college.
The school operations would require professionals and so, the Board of Trustees was
formed. “Pamantasan ng Subic” was created and operated as a special project under the Mayor’s
Office. Immediately after the enactment of the Ordinance, the Board of Trustees was convened
and compositions, functions and appointments were stipulated in an Executive Order. To ensure
its sustainability, the funding of the college was appropriated under the Mandatory Operating and
Other Expenses (MOOE) of the municipality’s fund. The community college “Pamantasan ng
Subic” was established through Regulatory Ordinance No. 2002-05 enacted by the Sangguniang
Bayan of Subic, Zambales last September, 2002 at Subic Municipal Hall under the
administration of former Mayor Jeffrey D. Khonghun.
After some deliberations between the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the
Sangguniang Bayan of this municipality, Regulatory Ordinance NO. 2002-06 was enacted last
November 20, 2002 at Subic Municipal Hall that has the provision of changing the college’s
name from “Pamantasan ng Subic” to “Kolehiyo ng Subic.” It was Mayor Jeffrey D. Khonghun
who thought of the name “Kolehiyo ng Subic.” The pioneering themselves conducted high
school visitation and rode bancas just to inform potential enrollees. The people of Subic were at
first hesitant and wary of suhh a huge project.
On 2003-2004, the first batch of Kolehiyo Ng Subic students stayed at FDO building
located at Sta. Monica Subdivision, Brgy. Sto. Tomas for two years. The courses offered were
Bachelor in Elementary Education (BEED), Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSED), Bachelor
of Science in Accountancy (BSA), Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) and
Bachelor of Arts in Social Science (BASS). The number of students was around 300. In 2004,
Kolehiyo Ng Subic found a home in Brgy. Wawandue, Subic, Zambales. TESDA courses were
added: Computer Programming (ComProg), Computer Secretarial (ComSec), Computer
Technician (ComTech) and Tourism and Restaurant Management Operations (TRHO).
Initially, ten new classrooms, a computer and TRHO laboratory, a library and a separate
building for the administration were constructed. Another additional thirteen classrooms
followed and the school stage was built. Indeed, more conducive compared to the rented campus
at Brgy. Sto. Tomas. The stability of Kolehiyo ng Subic was further strengthened as the next
Mayors of Subic, Mayor Jay Khonghun and Mayor Jonathan John Khonghun, envision the
school in a more lasting perspective. They firmly believe that it would be more beneficial for
Subic to invest on education because the “return of investment” will be more enduring with
educated and skilled constituents.
Many students who enjoy the privilege of studying at Kolehiyo ng Subic also came from
nearby localities. To accommodate the continually increasing number of students, classes are
held in three sessions: morning, afternoon, and evening classes. The Business Education
Department already produced CPAs and what is phenomenal is the big number of LET passers
compared to other colleges in the whole region. Employment rate has increased as job seekers
coming from Subic now have additional academic background in their credentials.
Truly the fulfillment of the founder’s vision of “Giving Access to Quality Education for
All” in consonance with DepEd objective Education for All (EFA) in 2015. First, a dream. Then,
a vision. Now, a reality. Kolehiyo ng Subic, established in 2002.
