The Commission on Higher Education granted anew autonomous status to the University of San Carlos for a period of five years, as the university satisfied CHED’s three criteria of having: 1) a long tradition of integrity and untarnished reputation, 2) commitment to excellence, and 3) sustainability and viability of operations. USC joins 41 other HEI’s across the country, being awarded with autonomous status and 15 others with deregulated status, in receiving the award of distinction presented by no less than H.E. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo during an awarding ceremony held at the Rizal Hall of Malacañang Palace, in the presence of CHED Chairman Emmanuel Y. Angeles. Receiving the award in behalf of the University President was Fr. Felino B. Javines Jr., SVD, Vice President for Academic Affairs. USC is granted the autonomous status up to the year 2014.
With this, USC will continue to enjoy the following benefits:
(1) Exemption from the issuance of Special Order (SO) for its graduates,
(2) Free from regular monitoring and evaluation by CHED,
(3) Priority in the grant of subsidies and other financial incentives/assistance from the Commission whenever funds are available,
(4) Privilege to determine and prescribe its curricular programs to achieve global competence,
(5) Privilege to offer new course(s)/program(s) in the undergraduate and graduate level without securing permit/authority from CHED, except in disciplines that are under moratorium,
(6) Privilege to establish branch/es or satellite campus/es without securing government authority from CHED, and
(7) Authority to grant Honoris Causa to those deserving, per pertinent provisions of existing CHED issuance on conferment of honorary degrees.

Coffee Table Book: "Balaanong Bahandi: Sacred Treasures of the Archdiocese of Cebu"
The University of San Carlos Press and the Cebu Cathedral Museum formally launched last Thursday, November 26, a 308-page full color coffee table book entitled “Balaanong Bahandi: Sacred Treasures of the Archdiocese of Cebu”. The book details the art history and architectural features of the first 56 colonial-period parish churches and convents that were built in Cebu. The event, which was graced by Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal and Gov. Gwendolyn F. Garcia, was witnessed by over 200 guests as well as book sponsors and partners.
Balaanong Bahandi is a project of the museum, the Archdiocesan Commission for the Cultural Heritage of the Church and University of San Carlos Press to mark 75 years of Cebu as an archdiocese. It is also intended to be a continuation of the seminal work of Fr. Felipe S. Redondo who in 1886 published the book, Breve Reseña de lo que fue y de lo que es la Diocesis de Cebu (A short account of what was and what is the Diocese of Cebu) or Breve Reseña, for short .
Under Msgr. Carlito Pono as project director, Balaanong Bahandi is perhaps the only coffee table book of its kind so far that is researched, written, photographed and printed entirely in Cebu by Cebuanos. It brings together pencil-pushers who are members of the archdiocesan heritage commission and the museum’s curatorial board together with young but professional heritage photographers.
Louella Eslao-Alix, Melva Rodriguez-Java, Trizer Dale Mansueto, Fr. Brian Brigoli and Arnold Sancover wrote the text while Jobers R. Bersales, USC Press manager, edited the book. It was Bersales who originally conceived the project and eventually became its project manager with Alix as coordinator.
The book’s principal photographers were Estan Cabigas, Lorens Gibb Lapinid and Mark Andrew Jorolan while Rodolfo Alix, Carlos Apuhin, Fr. Generoso Rebayla and Gil Francis Maningo contributed additional photographs. (Cabigas is a well-known photographer who has collaborated with the Augustinian historian Fr. Predro Galende in the book “Philippine Church Facades”.) Lapinid, who has won an international award for graphic arts, also served as the book’s layout artist and indexer. The book is a hardbound volume and was printed by Mackmayer Printers using 5-color Heidelberg speedmaster 102.
The book costs P2,000 each and will be available for purchase starting December 1 onwards at the Cathedral Museum (Tel. 4123455) and also from December 10 onwards at USC Press (Tel. 25321000 loc. 175).
