The University convened key officials and campus representatives for the Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP) Review cum Management Review on November 21, 2025 at the VP ARE Conference Room, Diffun Campus. The event was instrumental in refining the institution’s strategic roadmap and in strengthening its compliance with international quality standards.

Led by Dr. Hermenegildo F. Samoy, Jr., University President, the morning session’s workshop gathered key officials to strategically refine the FYDP. The team incorporated the suggestions and directives from the recent QSU Board of Regents (BOR) meeting.

The afternoon session focused on quality assurance and included participants from various units and departments. Internal quality audit reports were presented, covering two vital areas for all three campuses: 7S Workplace Management and Client Satisfaction Measurement.

The audit reports were delivered by Ms. Merlyn P. Guade and Mr. Michael R. Magdangal for Diffun Campus; Mr. Edwin G. Antonio and Ms. Jovie S. Dela PeΓ±a for Cabarroguis Campus; and Dr. Leonida P. Bartolome and Ms. Daphnie Lei P. Salvador for Maddela Campus.

Following the presentation of audits, Mr. Justin A. Padua, Head of the Internal Audit Unit, provided an orientation on accomplishing the Risks and Opportunities Identification and Evaluation Sheet (ROIES). This preparation is a step towards maintaining the University’s Quality Management System (QMS) in compliance with the ISO 9001:2015 standard.

The Management Review also included the presentation of new office procedures by respective unit heads. Ms. Claudine Fay T. Domingo presented for the Quality Assurance Unit, Dr. Ysmael R. Draman for the Planning Unit, and Mr. Jaimark P. Villamayor for the Sports and Wellness Development Program (SWDP).

Additionally, Dr. Elaine May R. Gonzales, Unit Head of the Information Unit and a member of the Committee on Anti-Red Tape (CART), provided an overview of updating the QSU Citizen’s Charter. This effort sought to comply with ARTA Memorandum Circular No. 2019-002, thereby promoting efficiency and transparency in government service delivery.

The comprehensive event concluded with an open forum facilitated by Dr. Florigold V. Saldaen, Vice President for Administration and Finance and the University’s Quality Management Representative (QMR), along with the Internal Audit Unit.
