Hon., Maximo 'Maxi' Y. Dalog, Jr., Representative of Mountain Province's Lone District, accompanied by his Chief of Staff, Atty. Cyphrine Y. Dalog and the MPSPC Team headed by Dr. Rexton F. Chakas, College President, visited the Office of Program Standards and Development (OPSD) and the Office of CHED's Executive Director in Quezon City. The visit's primary purpose was to follow up MPSPC's status of conversion to a university.
During the meeting, OPSD Director Dr. Cherrie Melanie Ancheta-Diego presented to the team that 10 out of 12 program certificates of compliance (COPCs) are fully complied with and shall be presented to the upcoming CEB meeting pending the confirmation of their respective technical panels. Meanwhile, the remaining 2 COPCs shall also be confirmed and presented once the College shall have complied with minor documents. Other MPSPC programs already have their respective COPCs and university conversion requires that 100% of programs have their certificates.
Meanwhile, the team also paid a courtesy visit to the Office of CHED's Executive Director Atty. Cinderella Filipina S. Benitez-Jaro who articulated her support to MPSPC's conversion. In the meeting, the team provided with updates on the universityhood institutional compliance status where OIQAG disclosed the College's need to comply to minor and doable documents for 3 academic programs.
In the visit, both Dr. Chakas and Congressman Dalog, and the MPSPC team as a whole, expressed their commitment to comply with these documents within a week. Dr. Diego and Atty. Jaro also expressed their commitment to continue assisting the College until its full compliance and subsequently its conversion to a state university, an endeavor that CHED in general supports.
The MPSPC team included Dr. Rogelio K. Balcita, Jr., VPAF, Dr. Venus Grace K. Fagyan, VPRGL, Dr. Mark Preston Lopez, SAE Dean, and Dr. Gina L. Lacaben, IQA Director.
