It's fascinating to know that CLSU has capable IT people to lead national IT projects. IT IS ALSO IRONIC TO LEARN THAT CLSU ITSELF CANNOT EVEN IMPLEMENT A FULLY FUNCTIONAL I.T. INFRASTRUCTURE AND WORST, CANNOT EVEN ADDRESS ITS OWN NEED AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TECHNOLOGY.

WHAT A PITY!!!!

TO THE PEOPLE OF ISI, MAKE CLSU A MODEL IT UNIVERSITY BEFORE YOU VENTURE ON OTHER "PRODUCTIVE AND BENEFICIAL" PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSITY.
