Further, as a visionary and proactive leader, he led in the crafting of the college’s strategic direction, the first among all colleges, dubbed as “The Victorious Education,” as an initiative to lobby various transformations and development in the areas of instruction, research, extension and production services. One of its apparent manifestations was the exponential progress of the research publications of the faculty and the increase of the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) passing percentage and to note, the college has produced a National Top Notcher (6th Placer).
He has also co-authored the following books in Professional Education 1.) The Learner’s Development and Environment. 2.) Experiencing the Teaching-Learning Process 3.) Technology in the Learning Environment 4.) Exploring the Curriculum 5.) Learning Assessment Strategies. 5.) On Becoming a Teacher.

VICTOR C. CANEZO III., with the heart to serve and passion for leading, is surefire a leader fitted to steer the course of a ‘Victorious’ Naval State University.
