Dr. EDUARDO S. CAILLO
"6th President", EARIST
"Comment by Dr. Noel B. Cabrera, Vice President"
The empty seat for EARIST Presidency for quite awhile in 2006 brought about numerous changes and challenges in school leadership while waiting for the next President that will be elected by the Board of Trustees. Apparently, this long wait came to an end in November 08 when Dr. Eduardo S. Caillo took his oath of office as EARIST's 6th President after the rigorous search that he went through.
Driven by his innate acumen and strong desire to see excellence in Science and Technology education, Dr. Caillo who has loved this field at his young age pursued the call to excellence and service. His rallying passion to advance excellent Science and Technology education in EARIST wells up from his own personal experiences as an inventor, specialist in Industrial Technology education and President of a Science and Technology Institute in Calbayog City.
Dr. Caillo who was born into the family of Mr. Fernando Barrote Caillo and Mrs. Pastora Sia Superio in May 18, 1957 is one of the great sons of Tacloban, Leyte. He is happily married to Ma'am Sol, an educator like him who bore him to jewels, Aika and Aiko. He finished his degree in Doctor of Philosophy in Education in 1994 at Leyte Institute of Technology. He obtained his Master's degree in Technician Education major in Mechanical Technology under a scholarship program and Foreign Technical Graduate course in Machine Tools and Computer by the Authorization Committee of Nagano Prefecture.
He is an example of the proverbial statement "he rose from the rank." His journey started from a modest beginning in the province as a secondary school teacher in 1978 to becoming an instructor, department head, dean and then President of Tiburcio Tancinco Memorial Institute of Science and Technology, Calbayog City in 2001. The race for bigger responsibility continued as he carves a niche for his name now no longer in the province but in EARIST. Other distinguished achievement that Dr. Caillo has is his being honored as one of the highly acclaimed inventors of this country. Two of his useful inventions are the Rice Bran Refining Machine in 1995 and the Organic Fertilizer Siever/Bagger Machine in 1994. He was also recognized as Most Outstanding Regional Inventor in 1993.
Dr. Eduardo S. Caillo, who is equipped with outstanding education, training, experience, expertise and most important of all passion for excellence in Science and Technology, envisions EARIST to become a dynamic institution for excellence in Science and Technology and allied courses. This, he hopes to achieve by offering strong and relevant programs, creating employment and livelihood opportunities, conducting trainings, seminars and workshops, initiating technology transfer from existing government and non-government agencies/ entities, local and abroad and showcasing technologies that will promote and enhance commercial and industrial activities in the community.
Likewise, his leadership will spearhead Scientific Manpower Development by promoting creativeness, strengthening scientific research, upgrading the schools instructional laboratories for different subject areas such as physics, chemistry, and biology and by providing modern laboratory facilities for professional scientific and technological research studies. He will also tap on networking with existing research institutions, both here and abroad, integrate science and technology in all aspects of the curriculum development, programs and courses and create linkages with public and private agencies, industries, foreign embassies, foundation and research institutions for infrastructure expansion and for scientific and technological research.
Eventually, to top it all, Dr. Caillo believes that EARIST when it is ready will be converted into a State University.
Two months after Dr. Caillo assumed the headship of this institution, he has already started to make a statement about himself through the projects that were completed both here and in Cavite campus. Here is a man of his word, a man who is goal-directed and output oriented. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Eduardo S. Caillo.
