A new covered court in the CNU-Medellin campus was inaugurated and turned over to the Cebu Normal University Administration on August 16, 2019.

The said covered court was constructed through the efforts of the former congressman, Hon. Benhur Salimbangon, as a realization of a promise he made when he once chanced to pay the campus a visit.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the administrative officials of Cebu Normal University led by the university president Dr. Filomena Dayagbil, the entire CNU-Medellin community headed by its campus director Dr. Grace Malaga, Local Government officials, and other stakeholders. Congresswoman Janice Salimbangon of the 4th district of Cebu, the better half of the former congressman, attended the ceremony in his stead.

The ceremony started with a benediction led by Medellin parish priest Rev. Fr. Camilo Agustin Villamor and was followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony done by both President Dayagbil and Congresswoman Salimbangon.
