Roxas Memorial School of Fisheries in Daanbantayan, and Magsaysay School of Fisheries in San Francisco, Camotes Islands. These were integrated into Cebu State College of Science and Technology (CSCST) System on June 10, 1983 by virtue of Batas Pambansa Bilang 412. It was mandated that the new state college shall expand its curricular programs focusing on higher technological education.
