ABOUT THE KLD ALUMNI SYSTEM
The Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas started as a dream, but this dream has turned into reality. The late Cong. Elpidio F. Barzaga Jr. and Mayor Jennifer Austria-Barzaga have always envisioned free tertiary education for every qualified and deserving Dasmarineños
It was on September 22, 2018, when the groundbreaking ceremony happened, which signaled the beginning of this dream. The City Government allocated funds to be used in establishing the institution, which was to be named Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas. Ar. Jose Siao Ling and Associates designed the building with Monolith Construction and Development Corporation as the main contractor. They closely worked with Cong. Pidi Barzaga and Mayor Jenny Austria-Barzaga in ensuring the success of this milestone infrastructure.
The creation, establishment, and operation of the Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Dasmariñas was signified through Ordinance No. 01-S202, dated February 2,2021.
Various programs were initially proposed during the inception of the College, but only the BS Psychology, BS Information Systems and Diploma in Midwifery were offered. As KLD progresses, the BS Nursing and BS Civil Engineering were offered in AY 2023-2024, while the Diploma in Midwifery is now a bachelor’s degree. In the Midwifery Licensure Examination held last November 2023, KLD received a passing rate of 85.71% and became the Top 10 Performing Midwifery School in the Philippines.
KLD also witnessed various successes in terms of its involvement in research and linkages where faculty members are engaged in presentations and publications. The institution is committed to pursuing and fulfilling its Vision and Mission as a transformative higher learning institution.
KLD, through the direction set by the late Cong. Elpidio F. Barzaga, Jr. and under the supervision of Mayor Jennifer Austria-Barzaga, and the management of Dr. Juanito O. Cabanias, President/College Administator, is truly committed in building the foundations for the Dasmarineños.
