Tutol si Senador Francis Escudero na ipangalan sa kanyang yumaong ama na si dating congressman Salvador Escudero III ang Sorsogon State College (SSC) at iminungkahi na pangalanan na lamang itong Sorsogon State University (SSU).
“While our family appreciates the move of my late father’s colleagues in the Lower House to name the Sorsogon College after him, I will not and cannot adopt the same as transmitted to the Senate for conflict of interest. I will refer the bill (House Bill No. 6203) back to its original form as filed,” anang Escudero.
Mula sa arts and trades college ay naging SSC ito dahil na rin sa pagsusumikap ng matandang Escudero.
“To maintain objectivity and fairness to the public and its money entrusted to the government by way of taxes, SSC should be converted and should be rightfully named Sorsogon State University,” diin ng senador.
