Positive and Warm Support Matters

            Educational leaders are critically important in the success and progress of an institution. They are a symbol of strength and wisdom which keeps everything sailing towards its goals. They affect various aspects such as the environment, attitude and reputation of the school. Their essence will never be measured. For eight years, Dr. Ludovico C. Olmo Jr. has served Capiz State University Burias Campus. He has established a sense of community, where individual differences brought positive impact rather than setbacks. 

            Dr. Olmo has an accommodating vibe that allows the faculty and staff to freely express themselves when faced with difficult decisions.

He exhibits optimism and and offers support to the best of his ability. He radiates humility and acknowledges the hard work of his colleagues as he proudly says “You are the wind beneath my wings”, every time he delivers a message.

Though sometimes work becomes hard, he never stops in leading CapSU Burias to achieve more. After his many years of serving CapSU Burias from being a professor to a campus administrator, he is finishing his final year in the institution, planning to retire this January.

    “I am very glad that despite the global pandemic, CapSU remains steadfast in upholding to its commitment to public service. Though many things have become different from the usual, yet, our goal in providing quality education and services that adhere to international standards continues with that unwavering conviction.” Dr. Lodivico C.
