DECISIONS OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS

A. 1307th BOR Meeting, 29 April 2015

1. On the Appeal of Mr. Conrado San Pedro, Jr. Regarding the Notice of

Termination of his Probationary Employment with the University of the

Philippines Issued on 21 May 2014 (Non-Regularization)

The initial decision of the Board on Mr. San Pedro’s appeal was DENIED but the

Vice President for Legal Affairs is requesting the Board for a more extended

decision on the case of Mr. Conrado San Pedro, Jr.

Attached is the Memorandum of VPLA Hector Danny Uy to Secretary De Las

Llagas for the information of the Board.

Highlights of the Discussion

1. Atty. Ricardo Lapesura, Jr. of the Office of the Vice President for Legal Affairs

(OVPLA) explained that the Vice President for Legal Affairs noted that a requirement

in the Constitution is that a decision should reflect the facts of the law upon which the

decision was based. As in a past case, the OVPLA sought permission from the Board

to issue an extended decision which incorporated the draft resolution submitted to the

Board at the last meeting for its approval. There was no new information, it just

provided the facts.

2. Chair Licuanan said that it was basically expanding the word “denied” with

justifications.

3. Student Regent Macuha noticed a statement in the dispositive part mentioning a

majority vote. He recalled that there was no voting when the appeal was decided upon

by the Board last meeting. There was only a motion to uphold the recommendation by

the Vice President for Legal Affairs. He suggested omitting the majority vote clause

in the dispositive part.

4. Secretary De Las Llagas attested that there was no formal voting; only a discussion

and a resolution at the end.

5. Atty. Lapesura agreed to changing the word “vote” to “resolve”.

MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES

OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING

1308th MEETING, 28 MAY 2015

2015 20152015


2 | Page

6. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola asked if there is a lower body in the University that can

review the facts and the legal basis of the issue at hand, which will issue its decision

for the consideration of the Board.

7. Chair Licuanan clarified that a decision made at the lower level was being appealed to

the Board but was denied by the Board. However, she said that the OVPLA felt that

the Board has to elaborate on the basis or reason for the decision. She echoed Regent

Gonzalez-Montinola’s concern regarding the dilemma of what agenda matters should

go up to the Board because the Board does not want to be like an appellate court

resolving every appeal filed.

8. President Pascual said that an agenda item does not go to the Board without it having

been studied and acted upon by a lower body, except when a lower body does not

want to act on a matter and requests the Board to act on it instead. Effectively, the

Board is seen as an appellate body by those who do not want to accept the decision

made at the lower level.

9. Regent Encanto recalled from a previous meeting that there was a rule proposed by

former Regent Chief Justice Puno that any appeal will be acted by the Board only

when there is new information on the case or issue; otherwise, the Board will assume

that the recommendations made from the lower levels were correct and the processes

were followed. She asked Atty. Lapesura if there was new information on the case of

Mr. San Pedro when the appeal was brought to the Board.

10. Atty. Lapesura replied that there was no new information but the OVPLA wanted to

abide by the constitutional requirement that the Board’s decision to deny the appeal of

Mr. San Pedro should be supported by facts and the law.

11. Chair Licuanan clarified that the issue was not whether the decision statement would

be a one-word decision or an extended one with supporting statements. The issue was

whether the appeal met the requirement of having new information. Anybody can

appeal but unless there is new information, the Board will not act on it.

12. Student Regent Macuha concurred with Regent Encanto about the Board’s decision to

deny the appeal because the appeal did not meet the basic requirement of new

information. It is up to Mr. San Pedro if he would want to pursue any legal action

after the decision.

13. Staff Regent Ramirez noted that the decision of the Board as reflected in the minutes

of the April 2015 meeting was “deferred” but VP Danny Uy suggested at the last

meeting that the appeal of Mr. San Pedro be “denied”.

14. Secretary De Las Llagas clarified that the Office of the Secretary of the University

usually provides the BOR Summary of the Decisions within 24 to 48 hours after a

Board meeting. When the OSU was about to send the Summary of Decisions, VP

Danny Uy requested that the item about Mr. San Pedro be excluded. The OSU is

leaving the explanation to Atty. Lapesura for invoking the extended decision.

15. Chair Licuanan said that the deferment was to give the OVPLA time to draft the

extended decision based on certain constitutional requirements but the decision of the

Board at the time was to deny the appeal.


3 | Page

16. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola requested the OVPLA to review the process and make a

recommendation to the Board because the Board will not act on new appeals and will

uphold the decision made at the lower level unless there was new information

provided. However, she wanted to make sure that this does not violate any of the

procedures in the University. She suggested not to issue an extended decision because

that would mean the Board has reviewed the previous decision and reopened the case

for another review.

17. Chair Licuanan clarified that the main basis for the denial was the lack of additional

or new information.

18. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola suggested that instead of a six-page decision, the

OVPLA could come up with a one-page decision. As for the narration of facts, it can

be referred to the decision of the lower body.

19. Student Regent Macuha inquired whether the decision of the Board was also extended

to the details of the case.

20. Chair Licuanan said that the extended decision should be reflected in the lower level;

that is, the highest body before the Board. Having no new information, the Board

upheld its previous decision to deny the appeal. The extended decision might imply

that the Board went through the details of the case when actually, it did not.

21. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola agreed that the decision at the lower level should already

contain all the required facts and legal basis. The Board need not necessarily reopen

all of them.

22. Moving forward, Regent Albarracin asked the OVPLA to alert the Board on what

type of cases it should entertain and probably set a limit to the number of cases it

should entertain per year, just like in the Supreme Court.

23. Chair Licuanan agreed that the useful rule in the meantime is not to act unless there is

new information. The Board should find a way to handle these appeals because even

the “no new information” rule could be abused.

24. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola reiterated the request for OVPLA to recommend to the

Board on what grounds it should act on appeals.

25. Student Regent Macuha recalled that the OVPLA had a presentation on how the

Board should act on appeals. Secretary De Las Llagas explained that it was then

Regent Chief Justice Puno who recommended that the OVPLA should formulate

some guidance on what should go to the Board. The position of the Board on appeals

then was for the President, upon the advice of the Vice President for Legal Affairs, to

assess if new information is given to the Board for discussion, and if so, the Board

will discuss.

26. Chair Licuanan suggested that OVPLA summarize the position of the Board. She

clarified that the appeal of Mr. San Pedro remains DENIED.

Board Action: DENIED

A. Report of the President

(A copy of the report is attached as Annex A, pages 41-45.)


1. President Pascual informed the Board about the highlights of the three fora that he

participated in. Being the National University, UP should ensure that its voice is heard

in prestigious international fora to enhance its international profile and reputation.

2. At the pre-conference on the APEC High-Level Policy Dialogue on Science and

Technology in Higher Education, he talked about how the Association of Pacific Rim

Universities (APRU) and its member universities can support the activities of the

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

3. President Pascual reported that he was a panelist in the Asian Development Bank’s

Thought Leaders Panel held on 21 May 2015, together with ADB President Takehiko

Nakao, UN Undersecretary General Noeleen Heyzer, and the heads of three major

think tanks from China, India, and Korea, respectively. The panelists shared views on

how think tanks, including universities, can engage in knowledge partnerships in

addressing development challenges in Asia and the Pacific.

4. In the said Thought Leaders Panel, President Pascual talked about how UP influences

government policies and proposes innovative solutions to development challenges. He

used as an example the work of UP for the past three decades on health policy and

financing. Such knowledge partnership with the Philippine government has generated

several results, including the passage of the Sin Tax Law of 2012 that can lead to

universal health care programs in the country. He also emphasized the need for an

interdisciplinary approach in addressing the complex challenges in the region and

how universities can provide a broad range of experts to partner with ADB and other

international organizations. According to the ADB President, Asia has extensive

resource of development and ADB should have more partnerships with Asian

universities, like UP, and other think tanks in the region in finding solutions to

problems confronting the ADB’s developing member countries.

5. In a panel discussion at the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP)

meeting held on 26 May 2015, he highlighted what UP is doing to produce innovative

future leaders for the country. He also signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)

with the President of MAP with UP as a partner in the Educated Marginalized

Entrepreneurs Resource Generation Program (EMERGE), an inclusive growth

program focused on job generation. The UP Institute for Small-Scale Industries (UP

ISSI) will take the lead in delivering UP’s contribution to the program.

6. President Pascual clarified that newspaper articles saying that UP has not properly

utilized its Disbursement Allocation Program (DAP) allocation was a case of

misreporting. The allegations were based on December 2013 COA report which was

REPORT of the PRESIDENT and other

SECTORAL REGENTS

for INFORMATION OF THE BOARD


5 | Page

made public only recently. UP issued a press statement on 8 May 2015 showing that

UP has efficiently used the DAP funds it received through CHED and that such

financing from the government resulted to the upgrading and improvement of UP’s

facilities and programs. Out of the 46 DAP-funded projects, 44 were completed or

undergoing various stages of completion. Only two (2) projects were not implemented

due to failed bidding. The unused funds for these two projects amounted to only

P31.8M, which is a mere 2.5% of the P1.29B DAP funds given to UP in late 2012.

Out of the 44 projects that have been funded, 33 projects are now 100% completed.

The remaining 11 projects are still on stream and expected to be completed in 2015.

7. President Pascual signed a MOA with Mr. Dan Palami of the Futbol Pilipinas Azkals

Foundation, Inc. on 8 May 2015. The Foundation donated the civil and site

preparation works for building the new football field in UP Diliman.

8. President Pascual formed a committee to study and negotiate the proposal of the

International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for an early renewal of lease in the UPLB

campus. The committee consists of UP College of Law Dean Danilo Concepcion as

Chair, and Vice President for Planning and Finance Joselito G. Florendo and Dr.

Domingo Angeles of UPLB College of Agriculture as members. The committee

visited IRRI on May 6 and 7 during which IRRI gave a briefing on IRRI’s programs

and facilities and toured the Committee members together with other UP officials who

will support the team and who have joined the visit. However, Student Regent

Macuha reported that there are objections from the UPLB community regarding the

proposed early renewal of lease of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).

The UPLB community did not like the idea that IRRI allegedly bypassed the UPLB

Chancellor in its recent development project. He said that the committee should look

into the details of the objections.

9. President Pascual explained that the issue has been ventilated during the visit and the

renegotiation will involve agreements not only on the lease but also on institutional

linkages and relationship issues between the two institutions.

B. Report of the Faculty Regent

(A copy of the report is attached as Annex B, pages 46-47.)


1. UP Visayas has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Zuellig

Family Foundation (ZFF) for its Health Leadership and Governance Program (HLGP)

for faculty development and trainings bridging leadership and governance. The HLGP

has recently trained another batch of teachers from six municipalities in Region 6 on

5-8 May 2015 in Bacolod City.

2. The faculty members of UP Manila School of Health Sciences in Palo, Leyte were

trained by the University of Queensland, UP Manila College of Public Health, Bicol

University, and UNICEF for Evidence-based Planning for Resilient Health Systems

for Disasters. This program is complement to the ZFF-HLGP but it was more focused

on natural disasters, in particular, the Yolanda-hit municipalities in Western Visayas,

Central Visayas, and Eastern Visayas.

3. Faculty Regent Padilla congratulated UP Los Baños for getting AUN accreditation for

its two programs: Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and Developmental

Communication.

4. In his consultation visit together with the Student Regent in UP Baguio, Faculty

Regent Padilla said that the main issue raised by the faculty was the ongoing search

process for the three Deans in their unit. Other issues which are common to all the

other campuses included lack of items, adjustment of lecturer and overload honoraria,

and the current preparations for the implementation of the K-12 program.

5. He also conducted a series of consultations with the different High School Principals

regarding the proposed opening of the school year of the UP High Schools in August.

These included the UPV Principal and the different faculty members, the UPLB Rural

High School Principal and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of UP Cebu.

They are all requesting for the shifting of the school year to August. UPLB Rural

High School actually proposed the idea of moving the end of classes of the high

schools to early May by shortening the semestral break so that the students can still

enrol in other Universities if they are unable to pass the UPCAT. Faculty Regent

Padilla is still collating all the other information and relevant analysis from the

different high schools for submission to the Office of the Vice President for Academic

Affairs.

6. Student Regent Macuha thanked the Office of the Secretary of the University and the

President for acting upon his request to clarify the announcement of UPIS of its

change in academic calendar. President Pascual said that the Office of the Chancellor

withdrew its earlier announcement and clarified that the academic calendar of UPIS

remains the same.

C. Report of the Student Regent

(A copy of the report is attached as Annex C, pages 48-49.)


1. The Office of the Student Regent is currently conducting the search for the 33rd

Student Regent of the University of the Philippines System, as mandated by the

Codified Rules for the Student Regent Selection (CRSRS) which was upheld during

the General Assembly of Student Councils (GASC) in UP Cebu. The next Student

Regent will be selected on 20-21 June 2015 at UP Visayas, Miagao. The result will be

endorsed to the UP Board of Regents.

2. Student Regent Macuha will submit his end-of-term report to the Board after the

approval of the General Assembly of the Student Councils.

3. Student Regent Macuha raised the following issues and concerns that may need the

UP System intervention:

i) The assessment of the pilot implementation of the Academic Calendar Shift

should be initiated by the UP System Administration. His consultation with


7 | Page

students revealed that they have complaints about the extreme heat that hinders

their learning capabilities.

ii) There is a need to procure additional facilities for the libraries, laboratories,

gyms and others. For instance, UP Visayas students are asking why they do not

have subscription for online journals, and that there seems to be lack of books

available in their library. He communicated the concern to the Vice President

for Academic Affairs.

iii) Students are requesting for a Student Representative in all of the committees

whose decisions will affect them. UPLB and UP Cebu allow Student

Representatives to join in executive committees and/or special committees

being created.

4. Student Regent Macuha thanked the President for his positive response to his request

for an assessment of the academic calendar shift.

5. President Pascual clarified that UP has only one online subscription to around 27,000

journals that is accessible to all Constituent Units. The UP System is still finding a

solution to the Internet connection problem between Miagao and Iloilo City.

6. Vice President Concepcion added that the UP Diliman library which manages the

online journals has assigned access codes to the different CUs and it is not an

unlimited number of users. The University is paying substantial amount of money for

the subscription but there are still limits to the access.

7. Consultation visits to UP Diliman Extension Program in Pampanga, Open University,

and Baler, Aurora will be on 2 June 2015. The summary of his consultations will be

submitted after.

8. The finalization of the Student Agenda and List of General Demands is already in the

integration stage since several units have already finished their list. After GASC’s

approval, it would be submitted to the administration for appropriate action. He was

happy to hear that some students have already taken the initiative to communicate

some concerns to the respective heads of their CUs.

9. Lastly, Student Regent Macuha thanked the members of the 38th GASC who selected

him as the Student Regent, the honorable members of the BOR, the Office of the

Secretary of the University, and those who supported his endeavors during his term as

Student Regent. He will continue to support the next Student Regent in his/her

initiatives and hopes that the Board would extend to the new Student Regent the same

support given to him as the Student Regent.

10. Regent Encanto commended Student Regent Macuha for his energy and the militancy

he showed in the Board meetings and how was he able to support so many causes of

students and others. She expressed support to the upgrading and/or procurement of

additional facilities. She heard reports that some of the classrooms are so oppressively

hot for students, especially with the change in the academic calendar, and the ceilings

are decrepit and damaged and may cause an accident. She wondered who might be

responsible for maintaining these facilities.


8 | Page

11. President Pascual said that the leadership of each campus is responsible for bringing

up concerns to the President, starting from the Chair of the Department or Institute

Director to the Dean, the Dean to the Chancellor, and the Chancellor to the President.

The UP System has helped many of the campuses with the air conditioning units and

is in a discussion with a company that is looking at the possibility of district cooling

for the three larger campuses.

12. As a psychologist, Chair Licuanan understands the issue and this could have an effect

on the morale of UP constituents. She suggested forming a very serious technical

working group on campus and facilities maintenance.

13. VP Zamora informed the Board that the UP System has started to craft certain policies

for sustainable campuses. A workshop participated by the Vice-Chancellors for

Development and/or Vice-Chancellors for Administration, along with their respective

campus Architects and Engineers was held in UP Baguio. UP Baguio was the first to

make a presentation on sustainable campuses, which inspired the other campuses. The

efforts being done in UP Baguio include restricting the use of bottled water which

generates a lot of plastic bottles and collecting rain water. She hopes that each campus

would implement similar programs.

14. VP Zamora added that other developed countries have limits for the size of the offices

of officials. The Office of the Vice President for Development is making sure that

structures are green which means that the orientation of the building gets the optimum

flow of air and sunlight. Her office hopes to go around the existing structures and

recommend some retrofitting.

15. Currently, her office has an access audit team to ensure that the accessibility law is

being followed. Since the team is small, it hopes to transfer knowledge to the different

campuses via workshops and other instruments so each campus can audit its own. The

next goal is for the sustainability of the structures, which might be very challenging

and to a certain extent, expensive, but it can be done.

16. Regent Encanto believes that excellence in UP has to start with the maintenance of the

infrastructure and environment. If UP wants to attract support, it should be able to

show the would-be donors something that they would like to take pride of. She heard

that there was a plan before to outsource the maintenance of the facilities.

17. President Pascual reiterated VP Zamora’s statement that maintenance of facilities is

an immense job because UP is not only dealing with the usual physical structure but

also with the mind-set of people. When the System tried to fix the location of vendors

and move the informal settlers to be able to build the faculty and staff housing, there

were rallies by students, faculty, and staff.

18. Regent Encanto said that each college should take the initiative and the responsibility

to go around its own area to check what areas need garbage collection or what

buildings need repainting or repairs.

19. President Pascual and the UP Diliman Chancellor already discussed the beautification

of the University Avenue. President Pascual said the CUs should just be encouraged


9 | Page

to spend money for maintenance, repair, and improvements of their respective

physical facilities.

20. Chair Licuanan thanked Regent Encanto for raising the matter and asked the President

to form a team to study and outline the needs of each campus and recommend actions

to the Board.

D. Report of the Staff Regent

(A copy of the report is attached as Annex D, page 50.)


1. The Office of the Staff Regent, in coordination with the Office of the Vice President

for Administration, spearheaded the preparations for the UP Administrative

Workshop 2015 to be held on 3-6 June 2015 at the Crown Legacy Hotel in Baguio

City. The conference will be funded by the UP System and will have President

Pascual as Keynote Speaker.

2. Staff Regent Ramirez has received the report of the System-wide Ad Hoc Committee

on the 4th Staff Regent Selection, with Mr. Alexis M. Mejia of UP Los Baños as the

next Staff Regent. Since there will be no BOR meeting in June, she asked the

President if Mr. Mejia can be formally sworn into office by the end of June after she

has done all her other activities so that by the first week of July, Mr. Mejia can

already sign documents for the office.

3. Every Monday, the UP-PGH employees mount a rally in front of the Philippine

General Hospital to call for the equal distribution and release of their PhilHealth

share and for the justice of the Valenzuela workers. According to former Staff

Regent Jossel Ebesate, mediation was already done between three members from the

All UP Workers Union and the administration. The offer of Director Gonzales is a

50-50 sharing—the doctors on one hand and all other personnel on the other. But the

said scheme is not acceptable to the PGH administrative staff. The latter are also

calling for the ending of the term of Dr. Gonzales once his appointment as faculty

ends in July. They also did not agree with the dropping of the case they filed against

Dr. Gonzales.

4. The assessment of her two-year term as Staff Regent was conducted on 23-24 May

2015 in UP Los Baños. Mr. Mejia was there for his orientation.

5. Lastly, she thanked the members of the Board of Regents, the University officials,

and the staff for the warm welcome and support in her two-year stay as the Staff

Regent.

MATTERS SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE BOARD

The President ENDORSED the following:

A. Operational Governance Framework for the University of the Philippines Bonifacio

Global City (UP BGC)

Vice President for Development Elvira A. Zamora made a brief presentation on the

Operational Governance Framework. A copy of the presentation is on file at the OSU

Records.


1. President Pascual informed the Board about the dropping of the name “Professional

Schools” as suggested by Regent Gonzalez-Montinola. The place will be called the

University of the Philippines Bonifacio Global City or UP BGC.

2. Vice President Zamora said that the earlier suggestion of Regent Albarracin to reduce

the number of faculty lounges can still be done because there is flexibility in the

allocation of the spaces.

3. Regent Albarracin confirmed his suggestion to reduce the number of faculty lounges

but wants to make the floor area bigger so that the faculty would be engaged to meet

and discuss. He believes that the best ideas happen in these informal meetings. He

suggested not having faculty lounges for Engineering or for Law, as this will just

create dukedoms.

4. Regent Albarracin added that UP should ensure that academic program offerings

should be viable programs and that tuition fee rates should be standardized. It will be

good if these units present their programs to the President and his team.

5. Student Regent Macuha sought clarification on charging parking fees, academic

programs and degrees to be offered, and running the UP BGC as an academic

institution.

6. President Pascual clarified that the UP System is not establishing a new constituent

unit. The UP BGC will just provide additional classrooms in another location for

existing academic programs of the different colleges in the University, which will also

be responsible for what they will offer. He recalled that discussions on the project

started way back in 2006 with four colleges committing to offer existing degree

programs: Virata School of Business for Master of Business Administration, College

of Law for Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Law programs, College of Engineering for

Masters Degree in Industrial Engineering, and School of Statistics for Masters Degree

in Statistics.

GENERAL GOVERNANCE


11 | Page

7. UP BGC will be available to other colleges in different campuses of the University

that are interested in making their masters programs accessible to the professionals in

the Bonifacio Global City. Short-term non-degree programs (e.g., executive

development programs) may also be offered at UP BGC.

8. The UP BGC will not be run by a Chancellor or a Dean because it will serve as an

extension of the different academic units that will be offering programs in the facility.

It will be headed by a Director or Executive Director from UP and will be operated by

a contracted professional Property Manager, which will make sure that UP units do

not fall over each other in making use of the facility and that the facility is properly

maintained.

9. President Pascual concurred with Regent Albarracin on having viable and innovative

programs because there are well-known business schools like the Asian Institute of

Management, which is in the process of reinventing itself having brought in a

President and a Dean from abroad. However, the development of programs to be

offered at UP BGC will be the responsibility of the interested academic units of UP

and not of the Property Manager.

10. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola suggested considering internal facilities management

rather than outsourcing it. However, if there is a need to outsource in the meantime,

at least look towards transitioning to internal facilities management after a specified

period of time.

11. Student Regent Macuha agreed that it would be more cost-efficient not to outsource

but he believes in the competence of the Vice President for Development in assessing

what would be more efficient for UP.

12. Vice President Zamora said that her office could look into the possibility of internal

management after the five-year initial contract of the Property Manager. She

concurred with Chair Licuanan’s suggestion to shorten the duration of the initial

contract to three (3) years.

13. President Pascual said that the problem with the in-house management is the lack of

items to be assigned to the new unit. Instead of hiring casuals, the University might as

well hire a Property Manager to ensure that standards of efficiency and quality are

observed. He hopes that the University will learn in the process and shift to internal

management eventually.

14. Student Regent Macuha sought clarification about the concern of some alumni from

the College of Law who are saying that they should be consulted about the operational

governance framework of the UP BGC since it is one of the Centennial projects of the

College of Law Alumni.

15. President Pascual clarified that it was the then College of Business Administration

(now the Virata School of Business) during the time of former UP President

Emerlinda Roman that initially took the lead in conceptualizing UP BGC. That was

back in 2006. When the Law Centennial Commission was organized in 2010, it

played an active role in soliciting funds for developing what was being planned then

as a College of Law Wing. In 2011, through the initiative of Senator Franklin Drilon,


12 | Page

the amount of P100 million was appropriated for the said wing for the College of

Law. However, the College of Law Wing was to be just a part of the whole complex.

16. Regent Encanto said that it would be a good idea to invite schools or colleges in UP

planning to offer courses at UP BGC to present or discuss with the Board how they

can make sure that their programs are viable. She inquired about the process for other

colleges in the University that are also interested to offer programs at UP BGC.

17. VP Zamora said that her office already did a survey of the units that might be

interested to offer programs at UP BGC. Apart from the core units mentioned, UP Los

Baños and UP Manila are also interested to hold some of their continuing education

programs and professional offerings in that facility. The President asked the

Chancellors at the last President’s Advisory Council meeting to consider offering

programs in UP BGC. After the Board’s approval of the Operational Governance

Framework, the team will go back to the colleges to present more definite policies and

some sensitivity analysis as suggested by Regent Albarracin.

18. Staff Regent Ramirez inquired if there is a possibility of offering some items as

support to the administrative staff for the UP BGC in response to the call of some

members of the UP community for permanency. President Pascual said that about one

or two administrative staff will be assigned to support the Director.

19. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola suggested looking into the possibility of offering

scholarships or coming up with an internal socialized tuition or crediting system for

students who might not be able to afford the tuition. President Pascual replied that the

Socialized Tuition System applies to students in the JD program of the College of

Law but not to those in the Masters programs.

20. In response to Chair Licuanan’s concern about the possible idle capacity in the

facility, President Pascual said that it is a function of the Property Manager to get

external users of the facility during the idle hours. As for getting users internally from

UP, he said that it will be the Director, an organic member of the UP management,

who will be responsible, with support from the UP System Administration.

21. As suggested by Regent Encanto, Student Regent Macuha asked to first invite the

units that would offer programs in UP BGC to present to the Board their operational

plans before the Board decides on the framework.

22. President Pascual said that the UP System has done that exercise for a number of

years now and will continue to do so with more specifics as to how much it will cost

to run the programs (e.g., rental and lecturers fee) so they can factor in these aspects

in the tuition. What is being sought from the Board is its approval for the way the

University intends to operate and manage the UP BGC facility, which is expected to

be available for use by January 2016.

23. Student Regent Macuha said that the Board can approve the provision that the

operations of the UP BGC shall be done by a Property Manager but exclude the

academic provision.


13 | Page

24. Chair Licuanan said that it was clear from the presentation that there will be a

Property Manager but there will also be a Director to ensure that the values and the

processes in UP are upheld.

25. Student Regent Macuha abstained from approving the decision of the Board.

A. ON THE DEANSHIP OF THE COLLEGE OF HUMAN KINETICS, UP DILIMAN

1. Student Regent Macuha put on record that he has no problem with the extension

of the incumbent Dean of the College of Human Kinetics (CHK) for another year.


14 | Page

2. Faculty Regent Padilla found it depressing that the search committee cannot find

qualified faculty members to become the next Dean of CHK.

3. President Pascual informed the Board that UP Diliman is planning to create an

Office for Sports Development which will take care of varsity teams and it is also

in search of the Director of that office.

4. Student Regent Macuha noticed that the appointment of University Officials is

always in the addenda items. He suggested to call the attention of UP Diliman

administration about meeting deadlines, especially since the Office of the

Secretary is just a walk away from the Office of the Chancellor of UP Diliman.

Other CUs through liaison offices tend to submit agenda items earlier than UP

Diliman.

B. ON THE DEANSHIP OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL, UP LOS BAÑOS

1. President Pascual said that incumbent Dean Jose Camacho is on his second term

and that he is doing a good job.

2. Student Regent Macuha concurred with the President and he commended Dean

Camacho for initiating the Graduate Student Leadership and Research

Conference. He hoped that other CUs will hold the same conference to involve

more graduate students and graduate faculty members.

A. Establishment of the Gémino H. Abad Awards for Poetry and Literary Criticism

The competition for the awards will be jointly administered by the Office of the

Vice President for Academic Affairs (OVPAA) and the UP Diliman Department of

English and Comparative Literature (DECL) starting this year, and will be open to all

undergraduate and graduate students of the University.

The Awards are being established with support from an anonymous donor who

would like to honor University Professor Emeritus (UPE) Abad for the inestimable

depth, breadth, and vision of his lifetime work in the humanities, particularly in the

fields of poetry and literary criticism, to which he has contributed immensely. The

exceptional quality of his poetic and critical productions is recognized and acclaimed not

only in the University, but also nationally, and around the world.

UPE Abad is one that UP faculty members should emulate. He has enriched and

inspired the lives of his students and fellow faculty members through his gentle and kind

mentoring. He has served as an academic leader of the UP System as Vice President for

Academic Affairs in the administration of President José Abueva, and he continues his

ACADEMIC MATTERS


15 | Page

public service, "shaping the minds that shape the nation", through his prolific creative

and scholarly output through retirement.

The donor recognizes his significant contribution to bringing the university to Elite

status in English language and literature in the 2015 QS World University Rankings and

would like to celebrate this achievement with these Awards.

The donation of P30,000 per year is committed for the next 50 years and will be

ensured by the donor's children.


1. Vice President for Academic Affairs Gisela Concepcion informed the Board

regarding the nomination of awards to recognize the achievement of Gémino H.

Abad, a University Professor Emeritus with outstanding accomplishments in literary

poetry and prose. The Gémino H. Abad Awards for Poetry and Literary Criticism is

open to all UP students and will be administered by the Office of the Vice President

for Academic Affairs and the Department of English and Comparative Literature of

the College of Arts and Letters. The guidelines have been worked out with Professor

Jose Neil Garcia and Prof. Jose Wendell Capili. Prof. Abad is also aware of these

rules and guidelines.

2. President Pascual said that there is a similar award in the University – the Concepcion

D. Dadufalza Award for Distinguished Achievement – in honor of Prof. Concepcion

D. Dadufalza.

E. Request of the President for Authority to Approve the Graduation of Students from

the Different Constituent Universities who Completed all the Requirements as of the

End of Second Semester 2014-2015, as Endorsed by their Respective University

Councils

This request was in view of the early Commencement Exercises set by many of the

CUs. It was understood that the graduation of students approved by the President would

be subject to confirmation by the Board of Regents.


1. Student Regent Macuha informed the Board that he was part of the Board that

approved his own graduation last year. He appreciated that it is being delegated to the

President, subject to confirmation of the Board of Regents.

A. Reprogramming of Fifty Million Four Hundred Seventy Two Thousand Eight

Hundred Thirty Three Pesos and 22/100 Only (P50,472,833.22) representing UP

System Administration’s Unexpended Balances of Prior Years’ Obligations, as

Certified Available by the System Budget and Accounting Offices, for the following

expense classifications:

Equipment Outlay/Capital Outlay (EO/CO) P50,472,833.22

The above request is intended to augment funds needed to cover the Equipment

Outlay/Capital Outlay of various projects and activities of the UP System Administration

and the different Constituent Universities.

It is understood that any disbursements that will be made against this fund shall be

subject to the usual accounting and auditing rules and regulations.

B. Special Bids and Awards Committee (SBAC) Resolution and Notice of Award for

UP-PGH PUR14-111795 One (1) Lot Supply and Installation of Complete Set of

External Beam Radiotherapy Equipment and Room Renovations in the Amount of

One Hundred Ninety Nine Million Nine Hundred Thousand Pesos (P199,900,000.00)

C. Request for Authority to Release the following Employee Benefits:

a. Education Support Grant of P15,000 for each of the qualified employees (faculty,

REPS, and administrative staff). (Funding requirement: P188,325,000.00 for

12,555 headcount of faculty and staff, as of 31 December 2014)

FISCAL MATTERS


18 | Page

b. Rice Subsidy for the Second Quarter: P2,250 per sack for each qualified

administrative staff. (Funding requirement: P17,385,750.00 for 7,727 administrative

staff members)

Justifications:

The Education Support Grant (ESG) would be a one-time grant to UP employees

being given in time for the opening of classes in elementary and high schools, as well as

higher education institutions.

The Rice Subsidy is being given to administrative staff pursuant to Article XIV,

Section 1 (Fringe benefits) of the Collective Negotiations Agreement (CNA) with the All

UP Workers Union (AUPWU) which took effect upon signing on 27 April 2015. The

same was confirmed by the UP Board of Regents at its 1307th meeting held on 29 April

2015.

As a matter of equity, OVPA is recommending that the Board of Regents (BOR) also

approve the inclusion for the two payments the administrative staff who are not members

of the AUPWU, and are not covered by the recently signed CNA.

The guidelines for the payment of the two benefits will be prepared by the Office of

the Vice President for Administration (OVPA) and issued by the President.


Discussion of the foregoing proposals was done in an executive session.

D. Construction Agreement and Notice to Proceed for the Proposed Renovation of

Quezon Hall Building, UP Diliman Campus, Quezon City (Negotiated

Procurement), in the Amount of P28,600,963.10

The SBAC Resolution and Notice of Award for the project was already APPROVED

by the Board of Regents during its 1307th meeting last 29 April 2015. The NOA has

already been reviewed by the Contractor and the Performance Bond was already

submitted.


1. Vice President for Development Elvira Zamora explained that the BAC Resolution

and the Notice of Awards were already approved by the Board at the last Board

meeting. However, the Construction Agreement and the Notice to Proceed did not

form part of the submission last time and since the President does not have the

authority on the negotiated procurement, the approval of the Board is being sought to

cover Phase II of the renovation of Quezon Hall.

2. In response to Regent Albarracin’s query as to the estimated amount of the whole

fourth floor renovation, VP Zamora said that Phase I has a total budget of around P33

million and covers four zones: the fourth floor, the south wing third floor, the north


19 | Page

wing third floor, and the north wing second floor. Dividing the P33 million by 4

would give an average cost of P8.25 million per zone.

3. The contiguous contract or Phase II of the Quezon Hall renovation covers the the

grand central lobby (below the 4th floor), the inner (elevator) lobbies, the stairs and

stair landings, the replacement of some of the glass and frames of the windows, and

the cost of air-conditioning units. Phase II costs around P28.6 million. Meanwhile,

Phase III covers the remainder of the renovations required and it costs around P23

million.

4. Student Regent Macuha recalled that the Board encountered a little problem with the

negotiated contract for the NIH Building. President Pascual said that the NIH building

was a different case. The Quezon Hall Phase II renovation contract is being down

based on a provision of the procurement law allowing negotiated contract with a

contactor that is going to do a similar type of work in a place adjoining or adjacent to

the current contract (Phase I) of the contractor, provided it should not exceed the

amount of the original contract. The current Phase I contract went through

competitive bidding.

5. Vice President Zamora said that funding for Phase I was from CHED-DAP. Phase II

will use reprogrammed funds and Phase III will be funded partly with reprogrammed

funds and partly with 2015 GAA funds. Phase III is going to be bid out because the

University can only go into a contiguous agreement once.

E. Authorized Signatories/Alternate Signatories of the University of the Philippines for

Investment Management Agreements/Trust Agreements with the Land Bank of the

Philippines (LBP), Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), Banco De Oro

Unibank Inc. (BDO), Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company (MBT), Bank of the

Philippine Islands (BPI), Union Bank of the Philippines (UBP), and Security Bank

Corporation (SECB)

At the 1305th Meeting of the Board of Regents held on 29 January 2015, the Board

approved and authorized the Management of the University to enter into an Investment

Management Agreement or Trust Agreement with the Development Bank of the

Philippines (DBP) and the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) for the administration and

investment of University funds.

Likewise, at the 1307th Meeting of the Board of Regents held on 29 April 2015, the

Board approved the Investment Policy Statement of the University of the Philippines and

approved and authorized the Management of the University to enter into an Investment

Management Agreement or Trust Agreement with the Banco De Oro Unibank Inc.

(BDO), Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company (MBT), Bank of the Philippine Islands

(BPI), Union Bank of the Philippines (UBP), and Security Bank Corporation (SECB) for

the administration and investment of University funds.

In view of the foregoing, the Office of the Vice President for Legal Affairs (OVPLA)

recommends to the Board of Regents the approval of the proposed Authorized

Signatories/Alternate Signatories of the University of the Philippines for Investment

Management Agreements/Trust Agreements. It is recommended that any two of the

Total Amount: P1,281,832.33


1. President Pascual explained that the matter was related to the land acquisition plan of

the UP Visayas which was previously presented to the Board by the UP Visayas

Chancellor. UP Visayas is now considering an offer from specific land owners who

plan to sell their lands. The request was to give them authority to use the Deed of

Absolute Sale but the implementation is subject to the advice of the Solicitor General

on the proper procedure and requirements.

2. Regent Rivera asked how soon UP Visayas would need the property because it might

just be an invitation for the informal settlers to come and use more area.

3. Faculty Regent Padilla clarified that that these are parcels of land within the campus

encroaching some of the academic parts of the University. The UP Visayas

Chancellor is trying to acquire almost all the lands that are near the academic

buildings and institutions since even though UP is in Miagao, UP does not own all

contiguous areas. There are still some parcels of land that are with the owners and UP

Visayas wants to hasten the process.

A. Extension of Secondment of Prof. Raymund Jose G. Quilop of the College of Social

Sciences and Philosophy, UP Diliman, to the Department of National Defense

(DND), Effective 16 May 2015 until 15 May 2016

Prof. Quilop is appealing for the extension of his secondment to the Department of

National Defense (DND) where he serves as Assistant Secretary for Strategic

Assessment. He appeals for another period of one year from 16 May 2015 until 15 May

2016.

His is supposed to return to service to the University on 16 May 2015, after having

been seconded to the DND for six (6) years since 2009. Prof. Quilop is requesting that he

be allowed to be with the DND for another year to enable him to pursue and supervise

programs and projects at the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Strategic Assessment

(OASSA)

The secondment to the DND for another year would enable Prof. Quilop to undertake

two key projects under the Philippine Defense Transformation Roadmap launched in

2014: the rationalization of the DND’s International Defense and Security Engagement

(IDSE) program and situational awareness capacity development. Situational awareness is

a key aspect of the Defense Strategic Planning System which is supervised and managed

by OASSA and upon which the capability development of the defense forces is anchored.

While on secondment at the DND since 2009, Prof. Quilop concurrently taught

graduates and undergraduate courses for several semesters in UP, when requested by the

Department of Political Science. Prof. Quilop is ready to teach a couple of courses in his

Department during the extended period of his secondment.

Prof. Quilop hopes that the appeal for his last extension would be favourably

considered. The extension when granted will enable Prof. Quilop to serve the country in

his capacity as an official of the Department of National Defense.

B. Appeal of Associate Professor Pedro R. Abraham Jr., of the College of Arts and

Letters, UP Diliman, for Automatic Promotion From Associate Professor 6 To

Professor 1, Based on the Guidelines for the Merit Promotion of Faculty Members

who are Eligible to Cross-rank and are due for Compulsory Retirement (1258th BOR

meeting, 29 July 2012)


1. President Pascual explained that the University is still processing appeals in

connection with the 2014 merit promotion, including those appeals that have not been

acted upon for so many years, like the case of Associate Professor Pedro Abraham

who is an artist – the founder-leader of Kontemporaryong Gamelan Pilipino (Kontra-

GaPi). His case was a long pending request for recognition. He already retired but the

promotion would essentially be honorific.

1. President Pascual clarified that although the appeals are under the 2014 merit

promotion, the effectivity of these appeals would be on 1 January 2015.

2. Regent Albarracin sought clarification on the rank because there was a faculty

member who currently holds an Associate Professor 7 but is appealing for the same

rank of Associate Professor 7.

3. President Pascual said that although it was the same rank, the salary grade-step would

be raised. Under the current salary structure, there are academic ranks that each has

more than one salary grade-step (e.g., Associate Professor 7 can be SG 25-6, SG 25-7,

or SG 25-8). It is also possible that one would get a rank promotion with no salary

increase (e.g., Professor 11 and Professor 12 have the same salary grade-step of SG

29-8). The salary structure of the UP faculty needs to be rationalized. This is being

planned by the UP System Administration.

The Board CONFIRMED the following:

for FY 2016 Through a Referendum Conducted on 7 May 2015

Amount (‘000)

Baseline, FY 2015 NEP P 8,270,495

Additional Requirements 16,398,745

Total P 24,669,240

==========

The additional funding requirements over and above the baseline budget are for the

following:


1. Regent Albarracin informed the Board that when the 2016 Budget Proposal was

discussed with the BOR Finance Committee, the Committee recommended certain

improvements like providing the source of money corresponding to the use of the

money. For example, if there is a research project funded by DOST, then it should

show under the projects funded by DOST or laboratories funded from the tuition

increase and funded from GAA. In that way, there is a connection between the use of

the funds and the source of the funds for better appreciation. Regent Albarracin

suggested that the budget show how the money from the lease contracts, such as that

for UP-Ayala Technohub, is spent.

2. Student Regent Macuha requested the UP Administration to hasten the process

regarding the appeal for additional faculty items.

3. Chair Licuanan said that she had a whole session with DBM about the additional

faculty items and DBM is still working on it. According to DBM, UP has about 1000

unused plantilla items. What DBM would normally do though is to subtract the

existing items from the number being requested.

4. Student Regent Macuha said that the students are concerned about the availability of

their subjects because there is a shortage of faculty teaching some courses and the

solution is to have additional faculty items.

B. Recommendation of UP Diliman for Dr. CANDIDO CABRIDO, JR. of the School

of Urban and Regional Planning (SURP) to cross-rank From Associate Professor 7

To Professor 5 under the BOR policy on Automatic Promotion based on the

Guidelines for the Merit Promotion of Faculty Members who are Eligible to Cross-

Rank and are due for Compulsory Retirement (1258th BOR meeting 29 July 2010)

Based on the SURP Academic Personnel Committee’s (APC) thorough evaluation of

the accomplishments of Dr. Cabrido, he got a total score of 93.75 for his

accomplishments that merit a Professor 5 promotion. The SURP APC followed the

rating system in the Faculty Guidelines “Shaping our Institutional Future” in rating the

accomplishments of Dr. Cabrido.

Dr. Cabrido, who has an extension of service beyond compulsory retirement

effective 03 May – 30 June 2015, was included in the SAGAD Award for the 2014

Faculty Merit Promotions since he was unable to meet the publication requirement to

cross-rank to the professor level.

However, two articles in the ISI-listed journal Asia Life Sciences Volume 24, No. 24

July-December 2015 were published last 30 March 2015 to comply with the publication

requirements; thus UP Diliman’s recommendation to cross-rank.

The President approved the automatic promotion on 30 April 2015, subject to

confirmation of the Board.

C. Agreements/Contracts

Note: These agreements have gone through the standard University processes from the Constituent

Universities (CU’s) concerned and the University System. In cases where there were irregularities

in the processes, the documents were returned for review of or to exact compliance by the

concerned.

A. Petition in the OASH Case No. 002-2012 (For Sexual Harassment) Requesting that

the One-Year Suspension on Grounds of Sexual Harassment be Replaced with

Compulsory Community Work


1. Atty. Maria Inez Vasquez of the Office of the Vice President for Legal Affairs

(OVPLA) narrated to the Board a summary of the facts of the case leading to the

filing of a complaint by the victim to the Office of Anti-Sexual Harassment (OASH).

The OASH then started its investigation. After the respondent’s admission of having

committed the offenses, the Office of the Chancellor issued the decision finding the

accused guilty of sexual harassment and imposed a penalty of one-year suspension

upon the student-respondent. The student-respondent is asking for clemency that the

one-year suspension be changed to community service, which was the

recommendation by the OASH who handled the case. However, since the penalty of

sexual harassment is not provided in the Implementing Rules of the Anti-Sexual

Harassment Act, the OASH cannot impose such a sanction and instead, recommended

to the student to petition the Board to change the penalty.

2. The OASH and the Chancellor found that the student committed a grave misconduct

with expulsion as a penalty. However, due to several mitigating circumstances, such

as, the ready admission of the guilt, the remorse of the student, and some personal

circumstances, the penalty of expulsion was changed into one-year suspension.

3. Faculty Regent Padilla asked the minimum and the maximum penalty for the offense

under the implementing rules to understand the basis of the Chancellor for the one-

year suspension instead of expulsion.

4. Atty. Vasquez explained that the maximum penalty is expulsion and the minimum is

one-day suspension. The penalty of expulsion was reduced to one-year suspension

because of several mitigating circumstances enumerated earlier. According to the

Chancellor, he was following precedent that mitigating circumstances have been

recognized by the university.

5. According to Atty. Vasquez, community service as a penalty had already been

imposed by the Board of Regents before but for a hazing case. Under the 2012 Code

of Conduct for the Students, community service may be imposed but not to offenses

involving bodily harm. Sexual harassment falls under bodily harm based on the new

Code. However, the offense happened prior to the application of the new Code of

Students Conduct which was approved in 2014.

6. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola asked if the rule states that the Chancellor can reduce the

suspension period to as short as one day because she was uncomfortable doing an

exemption to the rule by allowing community service as a penalty, when the

Chancellor, on his own, can lower the suspension period.

OTHER MATTERS


37 | Page

7. Atty. Vasquez confirmed that it is within the rule that the Chancellor can reduce the

penalty because even at the level of the Student Disciplinary Tribunal, the mitigating

circumstances have already been recognized.

8. Faculty Regent Padilla reiterated that the main reason the case was with the Board

was that the Chancellor cannot convert the one-year suspension to community service.

9. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola suggested reverting the matter to the Chancellor instead

of the Board of Regents making the exemption. While the Chancellor cannot convert

the suspension to community service, he can always lower the suspension period.

10. As stipulated in the UP Charter, the Board is duty-bound to take action because it has

the final decision on disciplinary action for student discipline.

11. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola said that the Board may deny the community service as a

penalty because it is an exemption to the rule and the Board is not making an

exemption to the rule.

12. Atty. Bernad read the dispositive portion of the decision saying that the Chancellor’s

Office “finds the respondent guilty of grave offense of sexual harassment as charged.

In view of the mitigating circumstances, the Office meted out the penalty of one-year

suspension, subject to the qualification that if the respondent is amenable to and

wishes to avail himself of the alternative penalty of community service as suggested

by the Hearing Committee, he should address and file a petition to that effect to the

Board of Regents through the UP President. Accordingly and unless otherwise

decreed, the penalty of one-year suspension stands.” The student made the petition to

the Board of Regents asking if he can be allowed to avail of alternative penalty of

community service.

13. Student Regent Macuha asked if the penalty of suspension has already been served

since the decision of the Chancellor came out in 2013. Atty. Vasquez said that the

Office of the University Registrar has clarified that the respondent has not served the

suspension yet.

14. Atty. Bernad said that the student-respondent has already finished his academic

requirements and has applied for graduation but he would only be able to graduate

after the suspension has been served.

15. The decision being sought from the Board was whether it is willing to allow the

student to avail of the alternative penalty of community service, as suggested by the

Hearing Committee.

16. Student Regent Macuha moved for the disapproval of the petition and the Board

carried out the motion.

17. Secretary De Las Llagas said that her office can send the decision to the Chancellor

with the advice to observe strict confidentiality.

18. Since the rule on sexual harassment requires strict confidentiality, President Pascual

asked how the community may be informed of the penalties that they will likely face


38 | Page

if they do something similar. The information should show that there are actual cases

for which guilty parties are being penalized.

19. Atty. Vasquez said that under the UP rule on sexual harassment, individual privacy

has to be respected and protected which is why the names of persons involved were

changed to aliases.

20. Secretary De Las Llagas said that during the incumbency of the President since 2011,

the OSU has removed from the Gazette the names of those involved in sexual

harassment and other critical cases. For purposes of informing the public that there is

an actual case and for the public to know the decisions of the Board, her office can

omit the real names of the parties concerned and publish the case in the UP Gazette.

21. President Pascual suggested omitting the campus involved as well. In addition, Atty.

Vasquez said that the dispositive portion stating the decision of the Board can be

published without going into the factual details since recital of the facts might still be

basis to identify the victim and the accused.

22. Secretary De Las Llagas assured the body that the publications in the Gazette protect

the identity of the person especially if it is a sensitive case.

23. On the correct terminology to use in the decision of the Board, Atty. Vasquez said

that the Board is denying the petition of the respondent to avail of the alternative

penalty.

24. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola said that it was not actually an alternative penalty.

25. Atty. Bernad agreed but she explained that, that was the statement in the decision so

when the case was brought up to the Board, it was a petition to avail of the alternative

penalty.

Board Action: DENIED

B. Request of President Alfredo E. Pascual for Authority to Travel to Seoul, Korea

from 16-17 September 2015, to speak at the 2015 Academy of Korean Studies (AKS)

International Conference organized by the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS),

Ministry of Education, Korea

The President requests permission to travel on official time to Seoul, Korea from 16-

17 September 2015 exclusive of travel time to speak at the 2015 Academy of Korean

Studies (AKS) International Conference organized by the Academy of Korean Studies

(AKS), Ministry of Education, Korea.

The AKS will provide round trip airfare and hotel accommodation. From UP, the

President would like to request for pre-travel allowance, the actual cost of unsponsored

meals, and allowance intended for incidentals, all to be taken from the UP International

Linkages Fund.

The President also requests permission to use official passport and be exempted from

payment of travel tax.

Board Action: APPROVED

C. Request of the Asian Institute of Tourism (AIT), UP Diliman to Purchase One (1)

Motor Vehicle with an estimated Cost of P1,600,000.00 to be Charged from the

AIT's 20% Share of UGT Trust Account No. 1627-884-952-005-439

Following are the specifications of the new motor vehicle:

Engine Specification:

1. Direct injection four stroke common rail diesel (D-4D)

2. Displacement - 2.5 Liter Diesel, 4-Cylinder, In-line 16V, Double Overhead

Camshaft (DOHC) (Turbo Charged)

3. 13 – 15 seaters (seating capacity)

4. Manual transmission (5speed manual) (Dash-Mounted)

Estimated Price: P1.6M

At present, the Asian Institute of Tourism has three (3) vehicles: one (1) 1984

Toyota Cressida condemned from UP Law Center and transferred to AIT (functioning),

one (1) Urvan Nissan Commuter 1990 condemned from NISMED and transferred to AIT

for condemnation (not functioning), and one (1) Hino Tourist Bus (Model 1979)

(functioning) . The 1984 Toyota Cressida (Plate # PEP 876) is being used by faculty and

staff on official functions. The Hino Tourist Bus (Plate # SAS 747) is frequently used by

various UP units for travel within Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

The acquisition of this vehicle is extremely necessary in order to fulfill the main

functions of the Institute. Given the age of these vehicles, AIT incurs high repair and

maintenance expenses due to high fuel consumption and frequent breakdown. Hence, AIT

urgently needs to procure a new vehicle and eventually condemn its existing vehicles in

order to reduce maintenance repair and fuel expenses which will result in substantial

savings. Furthermore, the new vehicle will be a significant resource in AIT's plan of

hosting international conferences as part of its internationalization program.

Board Action: APPROVED

D. Special Meeting of the Board to Discuss Policy Issues

1. Chair Licuanan requested Secretary De Las Llagas to schedule the special meeting

the Special Assistant to the President are ready to do the special meeting. Her office

will arrange with Chair Licuanan and with the President to find a time where

everyone is really free.

3. Regent Gonzalez-Montinola suggested two matters that may be discussed at the

special meeting: (1) policies on Professorial Chairs, and (2) facilities upkeep and

maintenance.

Board Action: NOTED

E. Comparative rental rates of the two churches in UP Diliman

1. President Pascual recalled that Regent Albarracin asked in a previous meeting

whether the rental rate being charged to the Church of the Risen Lord is comparable

to the rental rate of the Catholic Church. Per calculation, both churches are paying the

same rate per square meter per year.

2. Chair Licuanan said it was good to have no discrimination and favored treatment.
