    The Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology Bongabong Campus was formerly a nationally fishery secondary school known as Bongabong School of Fisheries. It was founded on September 21, 1964 through a bill that was sponsored by the Congressman Jose, A. Leido Jr. and was later passed as a law, Republic Act No. 3396.

The site is the titled twenty hectare land; the ten hectares were gradually developed into a fish pond which serves as the laboratory for Aquaculture students.

Utilization of the nation’s aquatic resources that were responsive to the needs of the people in the locality.

Moreover Phillipines also has rice as the main food. :D The purpose of MinSCAT also to help students who don’t have enough money to be able to go to school and learn in school. The name of the headmaster is Mom Mamadore.
MinSCAT Bongabong School also include in the complex of MinSCAT Bongabong Campus. This school is provided classrooms. The classrooms are provided for 7-12 grades. Also only has one class per each grade. The classrooms were also provided a projector, but some classes were not provided a projector. 2 computer laboratories were provided in this school. The using of the laboratories implied for all high school and college students in turn according to schedule.

The other academic support were library, security service, medical and dental services, guidance counselor, registration office, and etc.

The teaching and learning process there started at 07.30 and before it started, students usually have an exercise in the field started at 07.15 (except on Monday, cause they have a flag ceremony). The interesting thing was the daily exercise for me because it was a nice warming up to gain more spirit before they receive material from subject.
The system of teaching was using teacher center and student center according to student abilities. In the teaching process, the teacher gave the material to students by discussing and writing the topic on the white board. The topic was based on the book that proper with it grades and it was also provides on the internet, therefore the student can access the material. Why? Because the students aren’t gave book by this school. This school use K to 12 curriculum and the lesson plan use brief, detail, and traditional lesson plan. But according to Mam Sheylin or the English teacher there, she uses the brief one.
