CCDC Signs MOU with the Local Government Unit of Buguias, Benguet

Cordillera Career Development College–College of Law and the Local Government Unit of Buguias formally entered into a partnership through the ceremonial signing of a Memorandum of Understanding held at the Municipal Social Hall in Abatan, Buguias, Benguet. This event represents the first official MOU between CCDC–College of Law and LGU Buguias specifically in support of the College’s Clinical Legal Education Program (CLEP), marking an important step toward expanding community-based legal services in the municipality.

The signing was attended by municipal officials, department heads, and Councilor Jerahmeel Lasegan. The agreement was signed under the leadership of Mayor Julius Amos, Vice Mayor Ronald Kimakim, Atty. Alexis Agmata, Dean of CCDC–College of Law, and Atty. Czarinah Rose Gumpic, the CCDC Legal Officer and Director of Clinical Legal Education Program.

This initial collaboration reflects the mutual goal of making legal assistance more accessible to residents of Buguias. As part of the partnership, CCDC–College of Law will conduct legal assistance activities on January 30 in coordination with the ongoing program of the PNP–Highway Patrol Group and the Land Transportation Office in Buguias.

Through its CLEP initiatives and the services of its Legal Aid Clinic based at the CCDC Campus, the College continues to promote practical legal training while delivering meaningful support to communities—now further strengthened by this first formal agreement with LGU Buguias.
