Chapter 1 – Introduction

1.1 History of the University

The Sorsogon State University (SorSU) is one of the oldest trade

schools in the Philippines. It was established as Sorsogon Trade
School in 1907, was renamed Sorsogon School of Arts and Trades by
virtue of Republic Act 704 in June 1953 and again renamed Sorsogon
College of Arts and Trades in 1976. In December 1993, after 86 years
of existence, it was converted into a state college with three national
vocational high schools in the province integrated into it. This was
thru R.A. 7666 authored by then Cong. Salvador H. Escudero III and
Sen. Leticia Ramos Shahani, approved on December 31, 1993, by
President Fidel V. Ramos.

On July 22, 2018, the Philippine Congress passed Republic Act No.
11089, which converted Sorsogon State College (SSC) into Sorsogon
State University. The conversion to university status marked a
significant milestone in its history, signifying the institution's growth,
academic excellence, and capacity to offer advanced and specialized
education.

1.2 Project Location

Sorsogon State University's Sorsogon City Campus is strategically

situated along Magsaysay St., Barangay Bibincahan, in the vibrant
city of Sorsogon, Philippines (Figure 1). Covering an overall area of
approximately 76,672 square meters, the campus serves as a focal
point for higher education in the province. Positioned within the heart
of Sorsogon City, the university enjoys convenient accessibility to
transportation hubs, commercial establishments, and cultural
attractions. The central location not only facilitates seamless access
for students, faculty, and staff but also fosters strong ties with the
local community. The favorable positioning of the campus along a
 major street contributes to its prominence and visibility, symbolizing
Sorsogon State University's commitment to providing quality
education and driving academic excellence in the region.

1.3 Project Description

Sorsogon State University's Sorsogon City Campus stands as the

pivotal center for the university's comprehensive operations, playing
a critical role for several compelling reasons. Firstly, being designated
as the Main Campus, it serves as the administrative nerve center,
where vital operations and transactions of the entire university are
conducted. This centralization ensures efficient coordination and
decision-making, optimizing the university's overall management.

Also, the Sorsogon City Campus assumes the responsibility of hosting

a significant majority of the university's diverse academic programs.
Out of the sixty-four (64) programs offered, an impressive forty-eight
(48) programs find their home within this campus, encompassing a
wide array of disciplines, including Masteral and Doctorate Programs.
Moreover, it accommodates the esteemed Junior and Senior High
Programs of the College of Teacher Education and Midwifery
Department, further solidifying its indispensable status in the
academic landscape.

It experienced remarkable growth since its establishment as a

university. Over the years, the university has expanded horizontally,
resulting in a densely populated campus area with limited space for
further development (Figure 2). And the remarkable efforts of the
University to become the center of excellence for education in the
Bicol Region have garnered widespread attention among Bicolanos,
leading to an exponential surge in its enrollment. This increase in
yearly enrollment has further intensified the demand for enhanced
infrastructure and facilities.

To address these challenges, a comprehensive plan to restructure the

whole Sorsogon City Campus has been initiated by the new
administration. A master development plan (Figure 3) has been made
and approved by the Board of Regents through the Land Use
Development and Infrastructure Plan Act (RA 11396). With the
University's population ever on the rise, the demand for academic
and administrative facilities has led to the design of three (3) to five
(5) story-high buildings. These modern structures are capable of
accommodating thirty-three (33) to sixty (60) percent more students
compared to the current facilities. To facilitate and cater to the
planned campus restructuring, a critical need has arisen for a
comprehensive design and analysis of the electrical distribution
system. This imperative step will ensure the seamless integration of
the expanded facilities, empowering the University to meet the
growing demands of its student population while maintaining
efficiency, reliability, and a conducive learning environment.

1.4 Project Objectives

The primary aim of this report is to create a comprehensive design

and analysis of the underground distribution system aligned with the
approved Master Development Plan. This system will serve as a
foundational blueprint for Sorsogon State University, Sorsogon City
Campus, enabling the seamless restructuring of its facilities and
meeting the growing demands of the campus. By integrating the
underground distribution system design with the long-term
development strategy, the university can enhance its operational
efficiency, ensure future scalability, and provide a reliable and
sustainable electrical infrastructure to support its continued growth
and academic excellence.

Introduction to Oneself
Allow me to introduce myself - I am Clifford G. Gaton, a 29-
year-old individual with a life enriched by love, family, and faith. Born
on August 15, 1993, at Brgy. Balocawe, Matnog, Sorsogon, my
journey through life has been shaped by the remarkable connections
and experiences that have come my way.
At the heart of my existence lies my beautiful wife, Jaydee
Grefaldeo-Gaton, a beacon of love and support. We have been
blessed with a charming and talented son, Clay Ansen G. Gaton, who
fills our lives with boundless joy. Clay, at the tender age of 5, already
shines as a great achiever in school, his thirst for knowledge guiding
him toward remarkable accomplishments.
Sometimes the most beautiful connections are forged in
unexpected places. Allow me to share the heartwarming tale of how
I met my former colleague, now beloved wife, Jaydee Grefaldeo-
Gaton. One fateful day, I met my spouse, Jaydee, in an unexpected
way. We were colleagues at work, and it turns out she had a crush
on me during that time. I must confess, she managed to win me over
with her charisma and charm. Our journey together has been filled
with love, laughter, and shared dreams.
Within our humble family, we cherish the values of
togetherness and spiritual nourishment. As Catholics, each Sunday,
we gather as a unit to attend mass, finding solace, guidance, and a
deeper connection to our faith. This shared experience instills in us a
sense of purpose and provides a foundation for moral grounding and
spiritual growth.
My late father, George Agregado, held a distinguished position
as a director in the Bureau of Customs in the Philippines. Alongside
him, my mother, Doris Gaton, faithfully served as his secretary,
providing invaluable support in their professional journey. From their
union, three beautiful sons were born, each with a unique path carved
out for them. At 10 years old, my father died. Leaving us with my
two brothers, one is Jose Gaton, who recently overcame a daunting
obstacle when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Gratefully, he
has emerged triumphant in that battle, he is now slowly reclaiming
life and pursuing his aspirations. My second sibling, Jose Galahad
Agregado, has found his calling as a Mechanical Technician,
contributing his skills and knowledge in Calamba, Laguna. In the
wake of our father's passing, our mother found solace and
companionship in the embrace of another man. Together, they
welcomed a son, we named Clyde John Portes, who currently thrives
as a Grade 9 student.
After my father died, we moved back in Matnog. the injustice
of our situation manifested in a painful reality—we were denied the
chance to visit my father's wake and mourn alongside his legal family.
In returning to Matnog, we discovered the simplicity and strength
that emanates from a tight-knit community.
This is where my story began as a determined and diligent
child. Growing up amidst financial hardships, I learned the value of
hard work and the pursuit of knowledge. Each day, I embarked on a
solitary journey to school, traversing the rugged terrain on foot, as
my family lacked the means to provide transportation.
At times when there are fees needed to pay at the school, I
would assist my uncles in their modest coconut work. Mostly for three
days, we would process COPRA or known as "LUKAD" from our
community. We would climb, harvest the coconuts from the tree, and
meticulously remove the coconut meat using a special knife, moving
the coconut shell, breaking the coconut into pieces, and drying the
kernel under controlled conditions.
The COPRAs would then be carefully collected and placed in a
sack, which I would carry upon my head. Little did I know that this
routine, borne out of necessity, would inspire a creative solution to
another challenge I faced. With no bag to carry my borrowed books
from the school library, I resorted to using the same method I
employed for the coconuts. Balancing the weight of knowledge upon
my head, I treasured each book as if it were a precious treasure,
understanding that education was my pathway to a brighter future.
From the 20PHP my mother would borrow from our neighbor, I
would treat myself to a small indulgence. The 10 PHP will be the
transportation fee back and forth, I would buy the remaining 10PHP
will serve as my lunch, and my lunch will always be a refreshing iced
water, partnered with a delectable Choc-Nut. At times when my
friends or classmates see me over lunchtime, they would invite me
to their house to eat with them. I am always grateful to them until
now. These experiences instilled in me a profound appreciation for
the value of education, friendship, and the importance of financial
responsibility.
Graduated from Matnog Elementary School in 2005 and Matnog
National High School in 2009 as an academic achiever, I pursued my
Bachelor’s degree after two years of pausing from the academe.
Before entering college and with the eagerness in helping our family,
I thought and encouraged my mother that I try on being a tricycle
driver. My mother was consistent in encouraging me to finish my
studies. But to finance myself to being a college student, I then
worked for my uncle’s humble canteen as a dishwasher and waiter
for one year. After that, I proudly have been voted to be the Barangay
SK Chairman. From that, I was granted a scholarship at Sorsogon
State College with the course, Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering. After my three-year term as SK Chairman, I was anxious
because my scholarship is about to end, however, God has plans for
me, and I was then granted another scholarship given by Pantawid
Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). I was one of the pioneer graduates
of the 4Ps Scholarship Program at Sorsogon State College at that
time. This paved way to being a Registered Electrical Engineer.
Motivated by the desire to uplift my family from the grips of
poverty and create a better life for myself, I embarked on a relentless
pursuit of knowledge. During the September 2015 RME Examination,
I topped the exam as the tenth placer at the National level. Ten days
after the graduation in March 2016, I took the risk of taking REE
Exams, thankfully, with little time for review, I passed the REE
Examination. Believing in lifelong learning, I pursued my post-
graduate studies at Mapua University as a Master of Science in
Electrical Engineering student.
Education became my beacon of hope, illuminating the path
toward a brighter future. With unwavering determination, I strived to
complete my studies, knowing that it would be the key to unlocking
opportunities and making a meaningful impact in the lives of those I
held dear.
The hardships endured during my formative years shaped my
character and ignited a fierce determination within me, and becoming
a Professional Electrical Engineer has also inspired me to continue in
the academe as Instructor 1, at the same school where I graduated.
From June 2016, I am designated as Instructor 1, a faculty of the
Technology Department from 2016 to 2022, and a faculty of the
College of Engineering and Architecture from 2022 to the present. I
was also designated as the Area Chairman of Electrical Technology
from 2017 to 2018. A member of the Technical Working Group of the
Bids and Awards Committee, and Inspection Committee. I was also
designated as the Head – Electrical Maintenance and Electrical
Consultant from 2018-2022.
My seven years as an Instructor 1 gave me opportunities to
help aspiring RMEs as well, which I believe is the most significant
achievement I did as their mentor. This brought SorSU to the top-
performing school in the Philippines for two consecutive RME
Examinations. I thoroughly enjoy playing basketball during my
leisure time as it provides me with a much-needed sense of relaxation
and enjoyment. Being a devoted fan of basketball games, I am
particularly inspired by the incredible athlete, Stephen Curry. Not
only does he possess remarkable skills on the court, but he also
serves as an admirable role model due to his unwavering dedication
to his craft and his strong commitment to his family. It is truly
inspiring to witness how he cherishes his loved ones while
maintaining a high level of professionalism and excellence in his work.
I find great inspiration in his ability to balance his personal and
professional life.
I am fortunate to have had a former colleague who has played
a significant role in my life, serving as both a mentor and a father
figure named Sir Oscar Carniola. As someone who grew up without a
father, I found invaluable guidance and life lessons from him. He
exemplified what it means to be an exceptional individual and a
devoted parent. Inspired by his influence, my aspiration is to become
an inspiration to young engineers as I age, fostering personal growth
and helping them become better individuals. Eventually, I strive to
be recognized as a man of integrity, a loving family man, and a
catalyst for inspiring future generations of electrical engineers to
reach their full potential. This is also has been my desire to pursue a
career as a professional electrical engineer that stems from my deep
aspiration to create a meaningful and positive impact.
I am dedicated to upholding the integrity and dignity of the
electrical engineering profession. I will embrace ethical standards,
engage in continuous professional development, prioritize safety and
sustainability, foster mentorship and collaboration, advocate for the
profession, and make ethical decisions. Through these efforts and
through my TER (Technical Evaluation Report) entitled, Design and
Analysis of the Underground Distribution System of Sorsogon
State University, Sorsogon City Campus, I aspire to improve the
Electrical System of SorSU, by introducing new technology. I plan to
take on more significant responsibilities in the University, oversee
engineering designs, ensure compliance with regulations, and
safeguard our school’s safety. Ultimately, I chose this to make a
meaningful impact within my electrical engineering profession.
Committing to submitting this TER before the deadline will be my top
priority.
