The Search for Truth Statue in front of the Administration Building consists of two gigantic nude figures of a man and a woman depicting mutual partnership in the quest for truth, knowledge, and the professions. Being naked express boldness in seeking for the truth. The sculpture which has a meaningful inscription at its footstall was inspired by Dr. Fernando A. Bernardo, the first President of the Visayas State College of Agriculture. The inscription reads as follows:

"Let search for truth prevail as a dominant activity of university life. For truth is the guiding light in our paramount mission: the pursuit of excellence.

A teacher must foster intellectual curiosity among students and train them in the art and science of searching for truth to achieve excellence - whether in the classroom, in the laboratory, in nature, or in society. He who does less is not worthy of his profession."
