Basilan State College (BaSC) formally received the newly completed Two-Storey Lumah Alumni on April 28, 2026, at the BaSC grounds, Barangay Sumagdang, Isabela City, Basilan.

The facility is a project of the Provincial Government of Basilan, funded through the 20% Development Fund. It was officially turned over to the College as part of the Provincial Government’s continuing support for educational development, institutional facilities, and alumni engagement.

College President Dr. Haipa Abdurahim-Salain expressed the institution’s sincere gratitude to the Provincial Government of Basilan, the Office of the Provincial Engineer, and all offices involved in the completion of the project. She emphasized that the Lumah Alumni will serve as a meaningful space for connection, collaboration, and continuing engagement among BaSC graduates and the College.

Hon. Nasser A. Salain, President of the BaSC Alumni Association and Board Member of the 1st District of Basilan, joined the ceremony, together with Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Sheila U. Alonzo, officials and personnel of the Provincial Government, BaSC officials, faculty, staff, alumni, and student leaders.

The turnover of the Lumah Alumni marks another significant step in strengthening BaSC’s institutional support systems as it continues to serve its students, graduates, and stakeholders. Envisioned as a home for the College’s graduates, the facility will provide a venue for alumni engagement, mentoring, collaboration, and initiatives that connect past, present, and future members of the BaSC community. Its completion reflects the value of sustained partnership between public service and education in creating spaces that honor institutional history, strengthen community ties, and contribute to the continuing growth of students, graduates, and the wider Basilan community.
