MESSAGE

As the country slowly but steadily recovers from the economic setback of the preceding years, the Western Mindanao State University consistently performed its duties as mandated. The unrelenting efforts contributed by each element of the institution in order to provide educational service were again tested and prevailed. The 2009 Annual Report of the Western Mindanao State University is a written revelation of its commitment to overcome the obstacles faced by the institution. Amidst the trials, the men and women of the WMSU family kept focus, gained the strength, and established momentum as each trial is turned into an opportunity. To the faculty and deans of the colleges of the University, the pride is yours to keep as shapers of civilized society. And to the administrative and support staff, the honor is bestowed upon you as true public servants who can deliver and make the difference.

GRACE J. REBOLLOS, Ed.D. President

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY It was a generous year for the Western Mindanao State University as it was marked by profusion in terms of recognition and grants received. It was also a year of reform as the institution was restructured at the administrative level. The streamlining of the organizational structure resulted to a more efficient management, operations and liberal control, which in turn translates better overall school administration. The fusing and fissioning of functions give the office, unit or department the focus and flexibility to accomplish their individual tasks expeditiously. At the academic level, the recognition given by the national accreditation entities to the three colleges, namely: the College of Agriculture, the College of Education, and the College of Nursing is a proof of the Universitys commitment to fulfill its obligation with the highest possible standards. Such distinction will reflect the competence and capability of each graduate of the institution as they face the next hurdle in life: getting employed. The high passing rates for licensure examinations and professional board examination ratings ensure them that they have the fighting chance to compete and triumph in their quest for professional work. As a molder of society, the University does not inhibit itself to merely equipping them with the tools needed for employment, but ingrain knowledge and wisdom, and use them for humanitys advancement. The various colleges likewise have performed at par as they have and will continue to produce successful, responsible and contributing citizens. The University kept its line of sight in providing quality instruction especially to those who need it most: the ones who are mired with the other necessities for survival. The Scholarships Office exhausts all resources and linkages to accommodate student scholars numbering to over 2,000. Further, the same office acquired two more grantors for tertiary scholarship programs an indicator that the institution holds the merits for quality education as perceived by these generous benefactors. In terms of extension service, the Research, Development and Extension have always been responsive and heeding to the needs of the community. The Department of Extension Services and Community Development has delivered social and extension services in the form of livelihood training and skills development programs for the marginalized and the delinquents, and converted them into productive elements of the community. These services, indirectly ushers peace and development as communities gain the inclination to be selfreliant and independent. These two rudiments of social development sustain a progressive mindset and subsequently lead to the social maturity of an individual. On environmental issues, WMSU have always been an advocate for environmental preservation. The Research, Development and Extension Research, Development and Evaluation Center (RDEC) in collaboration with College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences (CFES), the College of Engineering and Technology (CET), College of Agriculture (CAgri) and the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) are exploring environmental

systems through research and development. These applied sciences departments have engaged in environmental efforts to curb or mitigate negative impacts of pollution, forest denudation, and accelerated urbanization. Starting off with solid waste disposal, research on septage management had been conducted to assess the citys household sanitary and sewerage standards and practices. At the rural scene, the CFES is experimenting on fastgrowing and indigenous tress with soil retention characteristics for rapid reforestation and watershed protection. Outputs from these researches will be useful for policy formulation at the local and national levels. Still on environmental concerns, the low-cost biogas system donated by the Department of Agriculture serves as a working demo for small-sized poultry, livestock and swine production with dual economic benefits in the form of flammable gas and organic fertilizer. It arrived at a no better timing when the rising cost of fuel and environmental pressures on fossil fuel use is of utmost concern. It is the quintessence of an environmentalfriendly and practical system that can be universally adopted. With focus on agriculture sustainability, the Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources (AFNR) Project was fully implemented boosting enrollment in agriculture and forestry courses by curriculum intervention with the aim of raising the employment ratio in the AFNR sector. Complementing the academics, the project further catered WMSU AFNR alumni by providing them with the technical expertise to efficiently manage the agricultural industry as employees or as private entrepreneurs. The years accomplishment is a reflection of the institutions resilience to overcome the odds and the result of concerted efforts of each component moving the University forward.

HIGHLIGHTS The adverse effect on the public service delivery systems created by the ripples of the global financial crisis has also set new trials for the academe. Obstacles that are seemingly insurmountable have again tested the institutions resilience and resolve to overcome. The Western Mindanao State University, the largest state-run university in the region, bears the credence to lead its constituents to progress in all circumstances. It adheres to its mandate to deliver quality and affordable education to all by implementing innovations aligned with the clamor for high-employability, professional capability and social-receptivity traits of its graduates. By interfacing the four key areas of the institution - Instruction, Research, Extension and Production components, WMSU keeps its line of vision of total development within its sphere of influence through conceiving of ideas, setting up objectives, taking appropriate course of actions and finally, their tangible realizations.

NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Efficient organizational management is attained by trimming-down bureaucratic protocols and reducing redundant functions. WMSU with the approval from the Board of Regents, effected this reform by fusing units with identical functions into offices operating with wider scopes. The organizational structure was reconstructed per Board Resolution No. 116, Series of 2009. Under the new structure, three vice-presidents were retained, namely: VP for Academic Affairs, VP for Research Development and Extension and VP for Planning, Administration and Finance. Mid-level organic units were devolved according to hierarchy and specific roles defined under the three Executive branches.

INSTRUCTION PHASING-OUT OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) had phased-out the AB Mass Communication major in Journalism, AB Economics & Business (3 yrs. and 1 summer program) and AB Philipiine-Asian (Korean History and Culture (2 yrs. and 1 summer program). Also, Board Resolution No. 118, Series of 2009 recommended the gradual phasingout of corporate academic programs not offered as regular programs. Programs like the BS Accountancy and BS Hotel and Restaurant Management which do not have regular counterparts are on the verge of gradual phase-out. The move is pending approval from the Academic Council and the Board of Regents. Following this transition, all students enrolled in concluding academic programs shall be allowed to complete their degrees with no freshmen replenishment. ACCREDITATION AND RECOGNITION The College of Agriculture was chosen by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and proclaimed it as a National University / College for Agriculture (NUCA) through the National Agriculture Fisheries Evaluation System (NAFES). The WMSU-CA qualifies as it has met the requisites for Instruction, Research, Physical Facilities and Equipment, and comprehensive Extension Services. Also, the College of Nursing and the College of Education acquired a Level II re-accreditation by the Accreditation of Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP). HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT Human Resource Development is the improvement of a workforce so that the organization and individual employees can accomplish their work goals in service to clients.

For the first and second semester, there were 1,750 and 2,039 scholars enrolled in the various colleges facilitated by the newly adopted Systematic Enrollment Assistance for Scholars (SEAS). The new system involves reviewing of applications and extensions, record preparation, and monitoring of compliance of scholarship requirements. SEAS have been set up in view of errors encountered during application and processing of grantees. LINKAGES The University had signed an agreement with the Instituto Cervantes de Manila for future joint studies, researches, educational training programs and other projects of mutual benefit to both parties. Understanding and preserving the Spanish culture was the rationale behind the accord and WMSU, being the only university located in an identically-cultured location, was the

10

ideal candidate. The partnership was a spin-off from the Sisterhood Agreement between Zaragoza, Spain and the City of Zamboanga. With the increasing demand for skilled and professional manpower for the Tourism, Hotel and Restaurant Industry, the University inked an agreement with the Negros Holdings and Management Corporation (NHMC) on practicum on-board shipping vessel for Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management (BSHRM), Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics (BSND), and Bachelor of Science in Home Economics (BSHE).

It is an alarming fact that by the turn of the century, the earth will be less capable of supporting itself due to pollution, forest denudation, over-population and exhaustion of lifesupporting rudiments. The College of Engineering, College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Forestry and Environmental Studies have embarked on recycling programs specifically on urban water waste recycling and reforestation of watersheds and catch basin areas. Although these initiatives are miniscule in all respects relative to global or even national environmental thrusts, they portray the academes role in crises management specifically modeling of climate-change effects mitigation and containment. The colleges are focused on urban planning which involve a series of studies conducted by students and mentors who employ reversible and re-engineering concepts for existing life-supporting systems. Results from these tasks could provide profound insights on the effects of rapid urbanization and habitation and the subsequent formulation of policies to avert grander-scale and chronic environmental crisis. Education and Teaching As the pioneering college of the University, the iconic College of Education had regained its Level II Accreditation status last February. A team of educators and academic professionals from the Commission on Higher Education Accrediting Agency for Chartered State Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) performed evaluative procedures for the Colleges re-accreditation to Level II which was stripped last December of 2008. Accreditation criteria are composed but not limited to the following: laboratory facilities, competence and qualification of faculty, student support, Professional Regulations Commission Licensure Examinations performance, research capabilities, graduate program offerings and library resource. The college passed the criterion with flying colors.

The college is now working for a Level III accreditation after the current expires on February 2013. The college had the third largest enrollment for SY 2009 with 1329 and 339 students at the undergraduate and graduate level, respectively.

Basic Elementary and Secondary Education The Integrated Laboratory High School in consultation with corporate officials proposed the offering of the Corporate Secondary High School academic program covering all four grade levels. The proposition was suggested in view of the administrations desire to upgrade the educational qualifications of WMSU personnel and nearby communities who cannot attend formal classes due to reasons such as working-hour conflicts. The program aims at providing the same WMSU quality education to clients with varying daytime schedules giving them the chance to pursue and finish secondary school. At the elementary level, the ILES faculty is employing varying methods for pupil potentials development. Through competitive activities, pupils are motivated to participate in in-campus and off-campus contests which build self-confidence and interest to learn. These activities range from quiz bowls to music and arts competitions to sports events, and, not surprisingly, these pupils are able to bring home accolades. The competitive environment and the learning aid in skills enhancement especially for elementary pupils who need proper guidance, direction and encouragement. Community Development and Social Welfare Analogous to extension work, the College of Social Work and Community Development with its Field Instruction Work edict per RA 4373 delegate students and field supervisors to various social sectors to render 1,000 hours of field work. As primemover of social welfare initiatives and humanitarian efforts, the College exposes its classes to realities in the field thereby nurturing their competencies and strengthening their commitment to public service as social and community welfare workers. Field Instruction Work deploy students in the following agencies: Philippine National Red Cross, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, Family Court, Parole and Probation Office, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and Brent Hospital. Further, community servicing for a considerable number of barangays in the city were likewise part of the FIW. The College of Social Work and Community Development is recognized as one of the best in the region because of its high passing rates in the licensure examinations. This has contributed to the employability of the successful community workers in various public and non-government organization institutions. Travel and Tourism The recent trends in the tourism industry specifically the high prospects for overseas employment have resulted to increased student enrollment in BS Hotel and Restaurant Management and BS Nutrition and Dietetics. Initially, the University had signed an agreement with the fast-food conglomerate on practicum delegation as part of the academic program for BS Hotel and Restaurant Management scholars. This year, the College has established linkage with a shipping industry for on-board familiarization for BS Nutrition and

29

Dietetics graduating students. Part of the on-vessel orientation is food management and servicing, and public relations and hospitality. Considered as career advancement and professionalization of desk officers, waiters and bar attendants, the College of Home Economics instilled formal, relevant and up-to-date academic instruction in the BS Hotel and Restaurant Management profession thereby giving graduates the edge when faced with stiff competition for overseas job market. The BS Hotel and Restaurant Management course connotes tourism with affluence and luxury. With this in mind, the College visited Dakak, Zamboanga del Norte and Cebu renowned tourist spots for their educational tour exposing students to actual hotel and resort operations and administration. As employees and eventual managers, BSHRM and BSND students are given the opportunity to access top-class establishments to be trained as successful hotel and resort managers. Architecture and Urban Planning In 1979, the University opened the BS Architecture academic program under the College of Engineering and Technology. It then turned into a college in 1993 thru Board Resolution No. 12 s. 1991 and was declared as a Center for Development 2 in 1999 by the Commission on Higher Education due to its commendable performance in producing topgrade architects, award-winning researches, and delivering extension services with social impact. Through casual networks with WMSU architects abroad, professional linkages are established in the Middle East and Southeast Asia for job prospects as draftsmen or architects. WMSU architects have gained the confidence of foreign employers who prefer the WMSU standard of instruction in structural designing thereby giving the Universitys architectural profession the distinction that is globally competitive. As the College prepares for the next level accreditation which includes revision of academic programs such as the revised BS Architecture, implementation of the new BS Architecture Program (CHED M.O. 61.s. 2006), and offering of pre-baccalaureate courses, namely; 2-year certificate in Drafting Technology, 3 -year certificate in Building Technology and Utilities, and 4-year certificate in Computer Aided Drafting Design, the college encourages the utilization of Computer Aided Design (CAD) as the application is now widely accepted in the realm of civil engineering and architectural structure profession. The software as well as the hardware requisites are but common apparatus that need to be tapped through human resource development such as training and orientation on their powerful application. These courses are aligned with the Universitys thrust on employability of technical graduates through modular approach.

30

Physical Education, Culture and Recreation The various disciplines and departments composing the academe embody the multifaceted requisites of a constantly changing social trends and socio-physical ambiance. As the repository of intellect and human resource for the full development of the community, an integral part of this intellectual storehouse is the knowledge in the science in health preservation. The College of Physical Education, Recreation and Sports promotes the various individual wellness programs like sports and dance recreation for university constituents based on scientific physical activity regimen. Thanks to the approved Student Activity Fee, facilities and gym equipment were upgraded for this purpose. Development of local talents, specifically in popular team sports are encouraged through the colleges Varsity Athletic Scholarship Program in which students are admitted via local athletic scholarship. Through the scheme, students will have a shot at college education and gain the chance of bringing honors to the university through athletic competition. Further, another pro-student scheme the Proficiency Examination for Advance Credit (PEAC) was implemented for students who are already proficient in one or several of the physical education course offerings and therefore need not take these subjects spelling out lesser enrolled units and subsequent reduced tuition costs. Applied and Natural Sciences, Engineering and Technology The recent natural calamities that overwhelmed the nation have placed the academe in a sensitive role within the framework of decision making and policy formulation. Climate change had been underscored many times over in environmental governance text headings and materials. The university, specifically the College of Engineering Department of Environmental Engineering, have imposed integration of research and case studies into their respective undergraduate curricula specifically in field of environmental and natural resource conservation. For starters, the department is focusing on gray water recycling for urban locations and potential treatable water sources for potable supply. In addition, studies have been made on drinking water quality and contamination in urban areas by the same department. Likewise, the College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences is directing all efforts

31

on watershed and forest management. Since the establishment and stewardship of the WMSU Experimental Forest Area at Upper La Paz, Zamboanga City, the department performs periodic assessment and modeling on the existing forest cover, rate of erosion as well as field trials of tree varieties suitable for rapid reforestation as practical instruction for students. The digital and satellite age have opened gateways in digital mapping. Termed as geo-referencing, the College of Forestry and the College of Engineering are exploiting the Geographical Positioning System technology to map specific areas or locations of interest. Fed into the Graphical Users Interface of GIS software, data are stored and converted into virtual images in two and three dimensions making it easier for users to visualized actual or virtual locational situations. The instrument is very useful for variety of applications requiring maps with physical and thematic attributes. This instrument and its peripherals are used extensively for instruction and research. Precision instrumentation aids in probing socalled unchartered territories in the field of physical science. The College of Science and Mathematics through the efforts of a former faculty have acquired a Gas Chromatograph a laboratory apparatus used to separate gas mixtures by virtue of absorption capacity differences. The Gas Chromatograph can be utilized for a range of applications and is indispensable for instruction and research specifically in alterative fuels exploration a priority area viewed at another angle of the entire sustainable environment perspective. Arts, Languages and Social Sciences Taking pre-emptive steps for probable employment in Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industries, the Language Development Resource Center (LRDC) offered the Job Enabling English Proficiency (JEEP) program for foreign and local students for two years now. The program aims at equipping students with versatility and fluency in the universal language English as the fast-growing telecom outsourcing industries require call center agents and translators for business applications with the language as the communication medium. Further, the LDRC serves as

32

supplementary instruction for English and Mass Communication majors of the College of Liberal Arts and other departments who need the English proficiency as extra language speaking skill especially for overseas employment. The technological revolution in the media industry sprouted the vast coverage areas of broadcasting network conglomerates and the establishment of satellite communication stations in need of Filipino and English language adept personnel. The CLAs Mass Communication and English Department have incorporated laboratory speech classes into the base curriculum to enhance speech and improve communication skills. This was the purpose of the fully-functional audio-acoustics room at the college which facilitated this type of practical instruction. Health and Allied Medicine The Universitys College of Nursing had been accredited with Level-II Accreditation by the Commission on Higher Education for 2009 to 2013. The college takes pride on its top-rated graduates with commendable performances in the Professional Regulations Commission licensure examinations. The College of Nursing still remains the most populated college of the University as job prospects with attractive pays and incentives in the Middle East and Europe still remains high despite the global economic turndown. With this demand, nursing and allied medical courses will still flourish with enrollees and graduates in the coming years. The college is also transitioning as it underwent the second survey on its BS Nursing program for possible accreditation by the AACUP. The prestige accentuates the Colleges commitment on international quality allied medicine instruction backed by relevant and competent research, and modern laboratory facilities.

33

In line with the colleges BS Nursing dash for Accrediting Agency of Chartered State Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) accreditation, the college is confident that the equipment and facilities for instruction and research will propel it to the coveted nomination. These physical resources have been acquired through the colleges corporate revenues some of which are state-of-the-art paraphernalia notably the anatomical models with intricate parts that mimic the human bodily functions. These amenities plus the professional and capable human resource for instruction and research makes AACCUP accreditation imminent thus marking nursing profession synonymous with the Western Mindanao State University. Law, Criminology and Justice Education Since its metamorphosis into the College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) from a mere singular curriculum under the former College of Arts and Sciences in just a span of ten years, the college kept on going strong academically as it offers both undergraduate and graduate programs with research capabilities. The consistent high passing rates in the Professional Regulations Commission Licensure Examinations for Criminologists are indicative of quality of instruction delivered by the organic personnel and professors and experienced mentors who come from the law enforcement turf. The college is renowned to be one of the top-ranking producers of criminologist and law enforcers who have successfully joined the ranks in the police and military services. Peace, Governance and Public Administration The College of Public Administration and Development Studies continues to provide training and instruction to public and private professionals the necessary organizational management and administration skills with its masters and doctorate degree programs in public administration. Further, the college offers other related courses on medium-term basis such as the Certificate in Governmental Management and a full-term Masters in Local Government Administration course. The CPADS is a prominent institution in the region producing skilled corporate managers and competent government officials to manage and supervise respective organizations with utmost efficiency.

Research, Development and Evaluation Center (RDEC) WMSUs research and development arm the Research, Development and Evaluation Center (RDEC) under the Office of the Vice President for Research, Development and Extension (OVP-RDE) is mandated to oversee the planning, evaluation and promotion of scientific researches in their technical and social application. The RDEC aggressively pursues greater knowledge through scientific and logical means of exploration. By identifying the needs and priorities, developing the methods, actual conduct, and finally, utilizing the results of research for the improvement of an interest defines the RDECs role in community and nation building. At the macro level, research serves as a tool that aids in decision making and policy formulation, and an instrument to determine means to improve or develop a system or a technology at the micro and institutional levels. Currently, the RDEC is focusing on the following key areas based on priority and urgency: peace, science and technology, educational, health, social science and environment, from which the problems are interlaced and the results will help establish baseline facts and reliable information for tangible use. The RDE aggressively deploys its resources, specifically the human sort to engage in research and seek answers the scientific way. Research Partnerships The RDEC had established linkages and partnerships with other SUCs, GOs and NGOs in conducting local, national and international researches. These collaborations address the current needs of the community with useful outputs. College Researches Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Food security, sustainable agriculture, and environmental preservation are pressing issues besetting the national administration. In recent years, the steady decline in enrollment in Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources (AFNR) courses manifests the sectors lack of skilled human resource to complement and efficiently manage the countrys capital resources. This prompted Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and

48

Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCARRD) to craft strategies restating the importance of this natural wealth at the academic level.

Inherent in the 10.5M DOST-PCARRD AFNR Project is the curriculum intervention for AFNR courses through integration of strong S&T and entrepreneurial skills development of mentors and students which are agri-industry-driven. This ensures a strong interface and linkage between academe and the industry. Aptly named Enhancing the Demands of ZAMPEN SUCs AFNR Graduates Through Curriculum Intervention Using Modular Approach with High S&T Content, the project aims at increasing employability ratio of AFNR graduates in Zamboanga Peninsula being an agriculture-based region. Modules include training of trainors and instructors, upgrading of library and laboratory facilities, and agricultural product marketing for students entrepreneurial skills enhancement. Philippine Council Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) - Western Mindanao Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (WESMARRDEC) Since its transfer to the University in 2000, the Western Mindanao Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (WESMARRDEC) served as the resource center in AFNR research and development, and technology generation for the region. With its thirteen member agencies engaged in extensive research endeavors, the WESMARRDEC facilitates the rapid development of agricultural technologies through five keys areas of implementation and adoption; R&D Management, R&D Activities, R&D Utilization and Technology Management, Capability Building and Governance, and Policy Advocacy for S&T Development. For the year, the Consortium coordinated the conduct of two Agency-InHouse-Reviews with 22 research papers evaluated of which 7 were selected for presentation in the Regional R&D Symposium. On R&D Utilization, the establishment of the Farmers Information and Technology Service (FITS) Centers supports and complements the LGUs agricultural initiatives and programs. Since the

49

institutionalization of the Techno Gabay Program, there were 15 FITS Centers established located strategically in the different parts of the region - each playing causative roles in improving the quality of life of the common farmer. The latest being at Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte which aims at providing up-to-date information on farming systems and technologies best applicable in the locale through the Consortiums Information, Education and Communications (IEC) dissemination. Matching WESMARRDEC efforts, the Department of Agriculture a member agency in coordination with the Consortium, launched the Adoption of S&T Based Integrated Crop Management and Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) for Saba and Lakatan in Region IX. This PCARRD-funded project aims at uplifting small-scale banana farmers by increasing farm productivity through S&T-based integrated cultural management strategies for insect pests and diseases. For Capability Building, the Consortium delivered three training programs in line with technology generation and adoption. These are: Technology Assessment Protocol, Proposal Preparation, Writing and Experimental Designs, and Intellectual Property Rights. All these research efforts were successfully implemented thanks to the strong collaboration, coordination and cooperation of the Consortiums member agencies and PCARRDs full support. Health and Allied Medicine Third-world nations, by choice or otherwise, serve as receptacles for western culture, technology and consumer products. A colonial mindset plus effective marketing schemes

50

result to massive consumerism - a scenario that can be both beneficial and detrimental at singular but different standpoints. The cigarette and tobacco products industry generates income for the government as well as employment and livelihood for numerous citizens. However, the risks undermine the supposed economic gains as smoking has proven to be significantly related to physical ailments - cardio and pulmonary diseases in particular. As the government earns from taxes and revenues from these industries, so too does it spend for healthy lifestyle campaigns, drugs and health and medical treatments related to smoking. On the outset, it was found out that smoking prevalence exist among youths aged the 12-18 years age bracket. Such vulnerability amplifies the need for government and civic group intervention. The Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance (SEATCA) tied up with the RDEC in establishing these SEATCA facts. Also, government intervention was obliged through the participation of the Department of Health and Department of Education in tobacco information drive for secondary and tertiary schools. Republic Act 9211 strengthens this drive as it stipulates the regulation of packaging, advertising, distribution and sale of all tobacco products. The marketing strategies of tobacco companies are specifically targeting the population most susceptible to pop culture the youth. These are results of the SEATCA-RDEC collaboration research on tobacco use. Research Promotion Instilling a culture of research is RDECs main objective. Each college is compelled to do research headed by the college research coordinator. The annual hosting of the Agency-In-House-Review serves this specific purpose; it is a venue for presentation and deliberation of research outputs and research proposals for possible funding. Twenty-four

51

papers were reviewed: (4) AFNR, (2) S&T, (4) Cultural research, (1) Nutrition, (2) Languages research, (1) Mathematics and (1) Mass Communications research.

These linkages provide a research network for reference, joint-undertakings and professional consultation. Further, the College of Architecture is in close coordination with the Zamboanga City Government and serves as a consultative body for local cultural heritage preservation through structural and architectural styles researches. The proposals mentioned are aimed at establishing a well-founded information base of Spanish technology influence in building and construction the marrying of Euro-Malay functional architecture. The research capabilities and its priority areas promoted the College of Architecture to a Center for Development Level 2 accreditation. Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources In pursuit for food security and sustainable agriculture, the College of Agriculture and College of Science and Mathematics engaged in diversified researches aimed at increasing

53

farm productivity but aligned with the agro-environmental equilibrium agenda as these two fields should be viewed at a non-compromising perspective. The following researches were performed by the college: Agriculture Forestry and Natural Resources (AFNR) Human Resource Tracer Study in Region 9 by T.A. Narvaez and J.A.

Diversity and Indigenous Knowledge on the Economic Uses of Fern and Their Allied Species at the WMSU-Experimental Forest Area, Upper La Paz, Zamboanga City by A.G. Lukman. The college has its primary research objective set on developing, maintaining and modeling the Experimental Forest Area for sustainable management and proper conservation of forest resources through field instruction and research. The experimental forest serves as trial receptacle for agro-forestry technologies and environmental working systems that can be developed and adopted for mass-scale utilization. The College also commits its efforts on forest plantation for forest products as income generating project of the college and the university. Community Development and Social Welfare Social upliftment is a by-product of industrialization, technological advancement, modernization and ensuing economic improvement. However, some sectors remain underserviced as a result from mismanagement, insufficient resources, slow economic activity, and lack of support mechanisms for sustained services delivery. Further, the likelihood of compromise and side-effects accompanying improved quality of life is always present. College of Social Work and Community Development centers on issues and intervening factors affecting services delivery and the impact it leaves on both the lives of those who need them and the effects on the social and physical dimensions gauged by the present societys principles. The following proposal will try to investigate the stated rationale: Assessment of Resource Management Capacity in Selected Barangays in Zamboanga City by CSWCD Faculty. The social, economic and cultural dynamics of society is reflected in every community where each unit is represented by a socio-economic signature defined with income. The threshold of the definition is relative to the basic needs of a family unit living in that community. By using this definition as social status criteria, the College focused on welfare projects and implementation research in selected areas conducted by undergraduate students. The most significant and relevant studies are as listed:

Applied and Natural Sciences, Engineering and Technology The current environmental crisis poses as a challenge for the technical profession on the fields of environmental engineering and environmental science. As the global population reaches point extreme, industries in manufacturing, transport, power, forestry and agriculture are pressured to produce parallel volumes straining environmental resources to unreplenishable levels. Further, the amount of waste generated due to this massive production creates extreme climate shifts as a distressed means for nature to cleanse itself. The urgency to develop eco-friendly technologies, renewable energy, waste disposal management systems and resource recycling methods cannot be overrated as these are the crucial first steps to salvage the environment towards recovery. The Department of Environmental Engineering of the College of Engineering and Technology and the College of Mathematics - albeit at the community and micro levels - is responsively taking proactive measures through these researches: Septage Management in Zamboanga City (Part II Commercial and Institutional Management) USAID Project by I.B Deloria and J.H.

Still considered as a clean and green city, Zamboanga City hosts some of natures exotic flora and fauna endemic to the south-western tip of the Zamboanga Peninsula. However, like any expanding city, accelerated urbanization had displaced some of the indigenous species prompting the local government and communities to instill environmental conservation measures. Since the development and the declaration of protected of natural parks and costal reservations along with the abundance of plant and animal genus, these locations are now serving as a local observatory for ecological and natural diversity scientific probing. The College of Science and Mathematics have conducted various and diversified researches in the fields of Chemistry and Natural Sciences.

Education and Teaching Modernization takes place when links to old traditions and methods are broken characterized by the application of technology. Visual demonstrations of a modernized society are urbanization and industrialization of communities, convenience of mechanizations and spread of material comfort and convenience of everyday living. Digital technology has revolutionized the way information or knowledge is acquired, processed and applied. These three main ingredients form the rudiments of the education process which is altered by modern technology. Further, as the digital revolution becomes part of our daily lives, its impact on the socio-cultural and religious dimensions may create ripples leading to profound consequences that require adaptation of the education administration and delivery. Educational research aims at determining the causative factors and their level of effects in the teaching-learning equation and the entire educational system as a whole. These factors may be single or multiple combinations of societys multidimensional facets and their dynamic interactions. The most significant of these researches are as listed: Ethnicity and Epistemological-Enhanced Instruction: Effects on Beliefs, Skills and Concept Understanding of Chemistry by L. Filoteo; Transformational Leadership Behaviors and Total Quality Management Practices of Middle Level Administrators in Higher Education Institutions in Zamboanga City by S.M.

Abucay, et.al; Multiple Intelligence Demonstrated in the Self-Contained Class of Hearing Impaired Pupils of the Integrated Laboratory Elementary School in Western Mindanao State University by J.E. Cillo, et.al.; Health and Nutrition The fast-paced modern life stimulates the way for convenient and on the fly standard of living. Packed, processed, ready-to-eat and fast-foods have become part of our daily diet. While some have actual nutritional values, most post as risks to healthy physical well-being. Further, food preparation practices nowadays depend much on preserved ingredients and modern cookware appliances that may undermine the dishes true nutritional value. The College of Home Economics, Nutrition and Dietetics had conducted the following researches in line with the premise mentioned: Development and Production of Nutri-Snack Foods from Indigenous Vegetables by L.B. Santos and M.K. Capistrano; Dietary Practices of Selected Hospitals in Zamboanga City: Patients Perspective Assessment by L.B. Santos; Characteristics of Entrepreneurs and Successful Food Service Ventures in Zamboanga City by A.H. Domen; Over-nutrition and Nutritional Status Among Selected Elementary Students of the ILS-WMSU, Zamboanga City: An Assessment by J.A. Aldenese, et.al, and; Nutritional Status and Common Health Problems Among Female Inmates at the Zambonag City Jail by M.F. Cuizon, et.al. It has long been the desire of the Institution to produce a unique item or product connoting WMSU and the region in particular. The Zamboanga Peninsula is known for its exotic fruits particularly Durian and Mangosteen coming from the south and Marang from the mainland, among others. As with other SUCs who have ventured into food and beverage production, the Western Mindanao State University had entertained the idea of the development of candies from the mentioned fruits. With this, the College conducted an initial research:

68

Survey of Zamboanga Delicacies by A.H. Domen, et.al. As a spin-off, the College commenced the development of foodstuffs uniquely identified as WMSU or Zamboanga product: Development of Candy from Marang (Artocarpus odoratissimus) by G.A. Pagal, et.al. Arts, Culture, Languages and Social Sciences Understanding social paradigm shifts requires a confluence of social, socio-cultural, religious and socio-economic research approaches. These enmeshed social dimensions coupled with the technological revolution in telecommunications, multi-media and informatics create a fertile climate conducive for radical social liberalism a drastic change that may have profound impact on the local cultures brought on by the generations adaptation to a modernized environment. Along this train of thought, the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science and Mathematics conducted these social researches: WMSUs Institutional Response RE: Lesbian and Bisexual Cases by M.C. Elago;. Linguistic Variation in Zamboanga and Cavite Chavacano Lexicon by B. Cabangon; The Non-Spanish Idiolect Composition of Chavacano and the Contemporary Written Literature: A Content Analysis by E.P Olaer; Cultural Practices of Badjao in Sitio Caragasan, Barangay Maasin, Zamboanga City by I.R.Consumo, et.al.; Speaking Proficiency Level vis--vis Motivation Level of the AB-English Freshmen of Western Mindanao State University by I.C. Fuentes, et.al; Excessive Computer Gaming and Dysfunctyional Communicative Behavior Among Male Gamers in Zamboanga City by R.L. Dela Rosa and L.U. Laput, and; Pinoy Tabloids Pornography and Consumerism as Perceived by Consumers in Zamboanga City by I.C. Salvador and L.U. Laput. Peace, Governance and Public Administration As a public service delivery institution, the Western Mindanao State University is exhausting all efforts to cater to the marginalized. The current economic crisis further strengthens the institutions resolve to find viable and sustainable solutions to discharge its

69

core mandate. Socialized education is not new, and the idea has always been considered by the institutions administrators. In line with the idea, the College of Public Administration and Development Studies conducted this research: Implementing the Socialization Scheme in WMSU by CPADS Faculty. As the precursor to progress and development, peace remains the underlying social principle that needs to be nurtured and established. Being impartial and the mould of civil society, the academe plays a crucial role in peace building through research covering issues at different fronts: religion, ethnic, cultural and socio-economics among others. Recent incidents this part of the region call for a holistic approach involving the various sectors of society and the academe in addressing the current peace and order situation. Methods to contain and establish social equilibrium include consultation with concerned groups, dialogues and confidence building measures through community outreach initiatives, conduct of training, and support for sustainable livelihood programs. Within this context, a recently concluded research linking peace and non-formal education programs revealed that these programs are appropriate and sustainable in many areas leading to desired results. The paper is entitled: Peacebuilding and Non-Formal Education Programs for Mindanao Youth: An Assessment by G.J. Rebollos, et.al. A parallel research was likewise conducted but with gender-based peace sensitivity by the College of Public Administration and Development Studies: Conflict as a Gendered Experience: The Basilan Experience by CPADS Faculty.

EXTENSION

71

Extension service is a complementary pseudo-academic component of an educational delivery institution committed to the social welfare of its clients and development of the community. The looming economic crisis and its effect on the cost of education accentuates the role of the Universitys Department of Extension Services and Community Development in delivering alternative education and livelihood programs basically to improve quality of life. The department further serves as a humanitarian entity catering the indigents and the marginalized through outreach and practical skills training with the objective of transforming these sectors into productive and contributory elements of mainstream society. Furthermore, as the nation realizes its way to environmental sentience, the department takes the lead and responsibility to edify communities on the importance ecological balance and preservation. It is a frontline service requiring the active involvement in communal environmental initiatives at the grassroots the most vulnerable level of the social structure that needs the academes intervention. In coordination with community organizations, local cooperatives and LGUs the Department extends its livelihood training and skills enhancement programs to the communities while offering the same non-formal education in-campus. Further, the department have touch-based with social clusters such as out-of-school-youths, correctional institutions, and cultural minority groups for the social re-integration through its outreach projects. The department had broadened its scope in rural and urban social development by establishing networks, partnerships and collaborations with other civic government and NGOs and diversified its functions with focus cohesive training approaches. Through the system of linkages, the department complemented local projects through its technical expertise on community building, cooperative and organizational formation, and leadership skills enhancement. These deliverables are executed through comprehensive instruction modules conducted by composite teams coming from the academe and administration. With competent and experienced human resource from the the various colleges, timely extension services and outreach programs are delivered with proficiency and efficacy. Livelihood and Skills Training Programs For skills and livelihood enhancement, the Department of Extension Services and Community Development delivered the following in-campus 72-hour basic livelihood training with 467 program recipients for the year: Baking Basic Automotive Mechanic Basic Computer Repair Cellphone Repair

72

Cooking/Food Processing Cosmetology Garment Technology Master Cutting Novelty Plumbing Practical Electricity Refrigeration and Air-con Repair Welding/Fabrication Trainees profile varied from unemployed individuals to overseas workers to professionals in the technical fields of building and construction seeking additional skills. For the second semester, 512 trainees were enrolled in in-campus programs. The Department, parallel to community servicing, delivered training sessions to various communities in the city in lieu of in-campus learning. Partnered with barangay officials, and institutional and organizational heads, the same trainings were conducted to community constituents for livelihood and craft development. A total of 466 respondents benefited from the off-campus extension service for the first semester and 397 were registered for the second semester. The trainings were those as mentioned for incampus programs. Barangay Outreach Programs Complementing skills and livelihood training programs, the Department performs barangay outreach involving local leaders and organizers for community initiated projects. In coordination with other units and departments engaged in social development, the Department in coordination with the various colleges, deploys personnel as resource persons to train barangay representatives in leadership training, namely; Bridging Leadership Framework, and the Ecosystem-Based Community-Centered Sustainable Development Organization and Management Approach (ECSOM) by the T. Kalaw Institute for Sustainable Development, and other local programs on community development. In essence, the training focuses on human resource capital, exploiting leadership skills of local leaders and putting these abilities into practical collective initiatives for the benefit of the community. Mainstreaming of cultural minorities and ethnic groups into harmonious and productive elements of society remained in focus for the Department. By adhering to the idea

73

of assimilation through education, the DESCD in tandem with the Department of EducationBureau of Alternative Learning System (DepEd-BALS) conducted a 10-month basic literacy training for the Badjaos in the coastal barangays. Though the city has a high literacy rate of 85%, it is however a combined figure of all of its constituents. The nomadic Badjaos reflect a high contrast figure in terms of literacy. The collaboration aims at increasing the literacy ratio of the local tribes and indigenous ethnic groups as the first step for educating and eventual social integration. College Extension Activities The colleges likewise perform their social obligation through individual extension services. For the year, the following extension activities were engaged: Education and Teaching Launched in 2004, the USAID-EQUALLS (United Sates Agency for International Development - Education Quality and Access for Learning and Livelihood Skills) Project is a combined effort from government, civil society and the private sector in coordination with the Department of Education for the extension of education and social reintegration of the marginalized specifically in Mindanao conflict-affected areas. The College of Science and Mathematics participated in this endeavor by cosponsoring the Training of Mentors for Elementary Science Teachers of the USAIDEQUALLS. The CSM provided the venue and resource persons for the training with participants coming from the different provinces of the region and the ARMM. The affair was held at the CSM Conference Hall on May 12-14, 2009. The Department of Educations Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao (DepEd-BEAM) aims at improving the access to quality basic education thus promoting a culture of peace for the development in Mindanao. The College of Education supplied pre and in-service training for private and public schools in ARMM and Region IX with support from the Australian Government. Further, the College through the Accelerated Teachers Education Program and CHED Memo No. 30 implemented the 63-unit professionalization of the Astidz teaching of the Arabic Language and Islamic Values Education (ALIVE). The BEAM Programs are medium-term integrated education projects with the sole objective of establishing true and permanent peace thru education in Mindanao. The College likewise delegated its faculty to serve as trainors in the regular continuing education program for elementary teachers in the region. These are: Teaching Strategies and Material Development for Quality Teaching and Learning, Strategies in Teaching Reading, Teaching Varied Strategies in Reading, Teaching Large Classes and Mix Disabilities, Teaching Beginning Reading and Authentic

74

Assessment, Teaching Varied Strategies in Reading, and Teaching Strategies in Reading for School Reading Camp. At the basic education level, the Day Care and Resource Center overseen by the College of Social Work and Community Development had served an average of 64 preschoolers each semester a total if 133 for the tear. The daily Day Care activities are the physical, cognitive, social and emotional development through teacher-to-pupil, pupil-to-pupil and surrounding interaction. The early child development regimen include physical indoor and outdoor activities in the form of play, rhymes, songs and music for cognitive skills, and personal interaction with adults and kids for social and emotional maturity. The DCRC likewise sustains its feeding program for the preschoolers as proper nutrition rearing good physical and mental health leading to full child development. Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Wildlife and environmental conservation is everybodys concern. In line with the city-wide Arbor Day celebration held last

June 25, 2009, the CSM joined the tree planting activities at the Abong-abong Freedom Park, Pasonanca, Zamboanga City. The affair was highlighted by the declaration of protected centuryold trees around the city to include WMSUs own Acacia trees at the main campus. Following the celebration, the College conducted the 1st CityWide Inaugural Symposium on Wildlife Conservation: Taxidermy and Herpetology on April 5, 2009 at the CSM Conference Hall. The symposium aimed at enlightening biologists and professionals on the appropriate

75

methods of animal or specie stuffing to retain its lifelike characteristics and the safe way of doing it. The demand for growth and modernization calls for parallel environmental systems that will address the pressures of urbanization. Population increase strains the already diminishing resources aside from contributing to the accumulation of waste and pollution. At the domestic level, systems are being developed to manage and dispose wastes of this type. Supported by the Local Government of Zamboanga and the Philippine Sanitation Alliance United State Agency for International Development (PSAUSAID), the College of Science and Mathematics extended its technical expertise and participated in the Launching of the Promotional Campaign Seminar on Septage Management held on June 10-11, 2009. The Septage Management Campaign was initiated to instill policies on sanitation, develop wastewater treatment systems, protect public health and promote hygiene and biodiversity. The citys eventual expansion requires the academes involvement from planning to execution. The City Government of Zamboanga had collaborated with the College of Science and Mathematics in several environmental thrusts. One of which was the Formulation and Adoption of a Comprehensive Coastal Resources Management Plan for Zamboanga City. Crafted to protect coastal and marine resources, the plan includes the adoption of alternative livelihood to lessen the pressure on coastal resources, regulate quarrying, and strengthen local coastal communities in effective management and safeguarding of marine resources. This endeavor warrants the Colleges expertise in the field of natural sciences. Further, the College advocates the revegetation of mangroves in coastal communities through the wetland rehabilitation programs in coordination with the Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources. Tangent to the environmental solutions initiated by the various colleges, the College of Forestry and Environmental Studies conducted series of seminars and fora on climate change in coordination with the national agencies: Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)

76

and Department of Environment and Natural Resources Environmental Management Bureau (DENR-EMB). The current economic crisis, climate change and exhaustion of resources due to ecological imbalance prompted the academe to intervene on issues deemed timely and appropriate. Contributing to the environmental efforts of the different colleges, the College of Agriculture have concluded a number of extension initiatives inline with agricultural productivity with ecological conservation. The Bunguiao Eco Park showcases this equilibrium with diversified farming systems utilizing eco-friendly inputs synthesized with the immediate natural surroundings. As a spin-off, the College in coordination with the Western Mindanao Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development Consortium (WESMARRDEC) conducted workshops on community organizing among rural farming households, organic fertilizer processing, sustainable small-area farming systems, water management and sanitation practices, and the institutionalization of the Jardin de Barangay and Horticulture for Out-of-School-Youths. Further, the College with support from the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation conducted training modules for Integrated Organic Farming Systems highlighting on organic fertilizer production, organic high value crop production, plant propagation and seedling nursery establishment, animal production and husbandry, herbal soap production, and business planning and social marketing. Further, the College was chosen as the recipient of the Department of Agricultures Tubular Polyethylene Digester (TPED) a natural combustible gas generating system which is gaining popularity in view of the rising cost of fossil fuel such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and the environmental stress caused by these types of energy. The TPED is a low-cost biogas system designed for small-scale poultry and swine

77

producers requiring only the organic wastes of live animals to generate biogas. Ideal for household use, it comes with an added benefit in the form of organic fertilizer as by-products of the methane gas. It is foreseen that the system will promote itself as the small-medium integrated farming systems and poultry, swine and livestockraising slowly gains acceptance as a lucrative cottage industry. Community Development and Social Welfare Education, family background, experience and exposure is the composition of a leadership capital. Nurturing these personal assets for public service requires selfawareness and the development of a sense of ownership of a societal problem, knowing the possible solutions to it, and the execution of the solutions. The Bridging Leadership (BL) Framework is a collaborative effort composed of faculty members of the various colleges of the institution aiming at the full development and optimization of individual leadership qualities and efficient administration. Through training and workshops conducted by the College of Public Administration and Development Studies in collaboration with the Department of Extension Services and Community Development and the College of Social Work and Community Development and College of Nursing, local community leaders were taught on the principles of good governance with focus on commitment, accountability, transparency and resourcesharing. Further, the College of Public Administration and Development Studies performed Gender Sensitivity Training for LGUs and other government agencies. The objective was to establish working criteria for gender equality to facilitate mainstreaming, assimilation and participation of women in community building. Various community stakeholders were beneficiaries of lectures given on responsible citizenship, loyalty and patriotism. Emphasis was given on team building and cooperation for community development and responsiveness to societal transformations as these are the basic ingredients for change. On outreach programs, the Integrated Laboratory High School launched the Love Drive during the Christmas season. The yearly effort adheres to the Universidad Para La Communidad theme aimed at spreading good tidings through generous givings. This social activity is handed down to the high school students to instill a sense of responsibility and compassion towards fellow citizens in need. Health and Allied Medicine Medical outreach is second nature to the medical profession. The College of Nursing in cooperation with the US-RP Balikatan Forces had carried out medical missions in the coastline barangays of the city. Minor medical procedures were performed by a team of surgeons, medical personnel and faculty and staff of the

78

College of Nursing with the RP-US military corps on the indigenous residents who cannot afford the medical attention they need. The College of Nursing likewise participated in extension activities and engaged in campaigns for better health. These are: Launching of the Botika ng Barangay, Symposium on Tuberculosis, Lingkod Timog: Medical-Surgical Mission, Multi-Agency Medical-Dental Mission, and Coalition Building: Zamboanga Coalition Against Tuberculosis. The College served as facilitator and supplied the resource persons for the various health and medical outreach activities and the various symposia. Other extension activities of the College of Nursing include community organizing programs, livelihood training programs, health education, and delivery of basic health services and organization of support groups for families with health conditions. These groups are: Hypertension Support Group, Tuberculosis Support Group, and Diabetic Support Group among others. Support groups are established in 10 barangays of the city. Further, the College provided the technical assistance and human resource in trainings and symposia. The notable ones are: Training of Counselors for an Outpatient Treatment Program for Drug Abuse, Bridging Leadership Training for Barangay Officials, and Department of Health Region IX Program Implementation Review. Parallel to promotion of good health and physical wellbeing, the College of Liberal Arts performed a blood-letting activity and launched its Feeding Program to the indigenous Badjaos in October. This was made possible through the active involvement of the Knights of Columbus. Peace, Governance and Public Administration The Universitys Center for Peace and Development serves as a venue and a conduit for participation of groups, sectors and individuals in the peace process which nurtures social maturity and eventual development. Currently, the Center is engaged in Anti Corporal Punishment, Green Peace, Anti-Trafficking, and Child Gender Sensitivity issues with focus on child-trafficking. These sensitive social concerns require close working relationships with other non-government civic groups such as the Muslim Women Peace Advocates, Philippines Against Child Trafficking (PACT), ACT for Peace of Western Mindanao and ARMM, Asia ACTS, End Child Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking (ECPAT), Integrated Resource Development for Tri-People (IRDT), Zamboanga Coalition Development (ZamCoDe), Child Abuse Prevention and Intervention Network (CAPIN), Peace Advocates Zamboanga (PAZ), and the Katilingban Para Sa Kalambuan, Inc. (KKI). The Center facilitates dialogues, symposium and fora for dissidents, the, marginalized, the deprived and the underrepresented groups for in-depth discussion with authorized representatives from the various sectors and concerned stakeholders. Further, the Center likewise conducted training on the same issues for civic workers, community leaders and government personnel who are deployed at social and welfare front.

79

For the year, the Center was able to deliver 340 training-hours to various groups, students, civic and religious leaders and local officials. Training are in the form of symposium, fora, group discussion and seminar-workshops with subjects varying from campus ministry, community education on child and human rights, peace process, to migration and human trafficking. In line with governance and management, the College of Public Administration and Development Studies conducted a Strategic Management Training Workshop for the private sector. The Zamboanga Electric Cooperative availed the Strategic Management Tools and Techniques conducted by the College in view the demand for efficient management of the commodity services delivery industry. Recipients were managers and section heads of the mentioned cooperative. The current decentralization, privatization and eventual market competition of the commodity services delivery industry requires efficiency: training such as the one mentioned is of great and mutual benefit for both producers and consumers. Architecture and Urban Planning Structural designs, working drawings and professional architecture rendering are the services offered and extended by the College of Architecture. The Zamboanga City Tourism Office taps the College for consultation on structural heritage preservation as well as for urban designs for theme parks, buildings and functional artistic structures. For the year, the College designed and supervised the Paseo del Mar and rendered architectural design for the Zamboanga Multi-Storey Parking

80

Lot to be built at the heart of the city. The College also provided the technical expertise in the blueprint of a themed park: the Monte de Paz, Educacion y Turismo. Further, two on-going projects had been signed and are in the designing phase: The design of the Abong-abong Master Development Plan and the Zamboanga City Medical Center Master Development Plan. These are in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Zamboanga City Medical Center, respectively. Through years of quality structural designing, the College had become known beyond the boundaries of the city and the region. Clients from Cebu had requested for the design and preparation of the Theotokos Shrine to be built in the next few years. Metro Cebu a city with fine architectural schools have opted to contract the services of the WMSU College of Architecture. Law, Criminology and Justice Education The College of Criminal Justice Education offered their services to the Universitys security personnel and the contracted private security agency in proper handgun handling and safety. Dubbed as Training on Eclectic Handgunning and Safety Management, the College provided hands-on practical gun handling starting with safety firearm cleaning and maintenance, ambidexterity, defensive positioning and most important of all attitude and composure. The training was held at the College of Public Administration and Development Studies for the in-campus gunhandling orientation and practical exercises at the El Fuego Firing Range, Malagutay, Zamboanga City.

PRODUCTION

82

RETAIL MANUFACTURING & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES In pursuit for financial stability and self-sufficiency, the University resorted to investments on retail, production and technical services. Corporate units with income potentials are commissioned to manufacture quality products and deliver professional services akin to commercial or business enterprises at competitive prices. Revenues derived from the corporate ventures are utilized to off-set financial deficiencies thru the prudent management and disbursement of a special trust fund. A few years back, the University launched its AgriRETAIL MANUFACTURING & Business program to optimize PROFESSIONAL SERVICES its agricultural resources at GARMENT SHOPPE, the San Ramon campus AGRI, 13,444.95 , 1% 181,717.96 , 11% infusing capital investments to establish market base for REVIEW, 430,864.83 , 28% MEDICAL, 314,354.49 , rice. WMSU has steadily 20% supplied staple product to the UDFS, 258,293.23 , 16% local market albeit at a UPRESS, 388,707.31 , 24% relatively smaller scale. It had since expanded to vegetables and fruit marketing bringing the colleges product name of quality. The recent acquisition of modern printing equipment from accumulated proceeds had turned the University Printing Press into a professional, competitive, commercial level printing and production unit. Further, the University established the Garments Shoppe in view of the lucrative enterprise in the garments, clothier and uniform manufacturing permitting vertical integration with the increasing student population. The same strategy was employed in the offering of review classes by the Review Unit for academic programs requiring professional licensures. On other services, the Medical Service Unit and University Dormitory and Food Service contributed significantly to the Universitys income with their respective professional services. Total net income of the RMPS for the year was Php 1,276,549.98 with the Review Unit contributing 28%, University Press 24%, Medical Services 20%, University Dormitory and Food Services 16%, Garment Shoppe 11% and Agribusiness contributing 1%. Losses however, were incurred by the Bakery Products (Php 310,832.79) which may then be subjected to review and subsequent abolition. These corporate initiatives have expanded owing to efficient business handling and prescience.

83

CORPORATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS The BS Nursing Corporate was offered as a counterpart of the regular course offering. However, the BS Hotel and Restaurant Management and CORPORATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS BS Accountancy both with no regular counterparts, were FOODTECH, 3,969.87 , 1% offered in view of their popularity and relatively HRM, 72,592.04 , 21% NURSING, 46,591.20 , 14% cheaper educational cost HS, 65,468.62 , 19% ACCTCY, 47,316.08 , 14% compared to other schools offering such courses.

The total earning from the corporate academic programs for the year is Php 341,144.14. The BS Nursing corporate academic program is still popular as job prospects for allied medicine in Europe and Middle East remain high albeit a slight decrease in enrollment this school year. At the basic education level, the University is known as one of the finest following high enrollment results for corporate elementary and high school.

ADMINISTRATION, SUPPORT & PHYSICAL PLANT

85

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY As an aid to teaching, research and extension work in disciplines offered by the various colleges of the institution, the University library serves as the total information warehouse as it strives to acquire and provide the newest and modern library materials. The University Library now holds 23,529 library materials in circulation and serves an average of 200-350 clients daily. The figure translates to over 150,000 clients from the main library and more than 40,000 from college libraries for the year. The University Library also takes pride in its E-Library System and internet services which proves to be indispensable tools for information via web-based electronic data access. ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL The University has a 279strong administrative and support personnel manning school operations. There are 145 regular and 134 contractual employees complementing the faculty in keeping and improving the institutions service delivery thru efficient administrative nonteaching functions. Moreover, there are 123 Contract-of-Service staff deployed across all departments, sections and units to reinforce clerical, technical and general services. Given the figures, a unified work principle is instilled in each working division for efficient performance of duties. During the summer retreat for administrative personnel in April of the year, this principle was stressed during the briefing on the compulsory execution of the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) by the Director for Administration. The key points of the discussion were front-line service courtesy, client sensitivity and time sensitivity for expeditious transactions. It is hoped that the after the brainstorming activities, public service will be improved.

86

PHYSICAL PLANT Complementary to high academic standards are the physical amenities and facilities provided by the institution. Over 100 years, the Western Mindanao State University served the community with excellent academic instruction with corresponding functional infrastructure. With 14 Colleges, two integrated laboratory schools each with their respective academic buildings, support and administrative infrastructure, and a student population of more than 13,000, WMSU preserves the basic principle of instruction by maintaining an environment that is conducive to learning. The pressure of congestion and the subsequent spatial requisites for expansion is mitigated by optimal land use which is then resolved by prudent planning, location, and design of building and construction. Further, regular and preventive maintenance of existing infrastructure is an imperative for the Office of the Director for Physical Plant and the Project Management Office. Functional and safe facilities are part of the requisites to facilitate institutional growth and for

unhampered daily school operations. With this, repairs and upkeep of existing buildings, facilities and equipment to include transportation were carried out.

87

With the transfer of College of Forestry and Environmental Sciences (CFES) to the College of Agriculture in San Ramon, Zamboanga City, the Main Campus was decongested giving spatial and infrastructure necessities to the Institute of Asian and Islamic Studies (IAIS) and the College of Social Work and Community Development (CSWCD) each with increasing student population. The former academic building of the CFES is now occupied by the mentioned institute and college. The WMSU Main Campus B now hosts four colleges and one laboratory high school and one day-care center of the College of Social Work and Community Development. The Office of the Director for Physical Plant and the Project Management Office handle the tasks needed for the institutions physical improvement. For the year, the following notable infrastructure projects were implemented and due for completion: University Ladies Dormitory /University Training Center The University Ladies Dormitory had been converted into a ladies dormitory and a training center. This was in view of the lack of a function room for trainings and seminars being held, sponsored or hosted by the University on top of the

absence of a dormitory for female students. When completed, the University Ladies Dormitory cum Training Center shall be a fullyfunctional training setting with board and lodging amenities.

88

College of Criminology and Justice Education Academic Building An 8M building construction project was donated by the Partylist Anak Mindanao (AMIN) through Congressional Funds for the College of Criminology and Justice Education. The College ranks as one of the top producers of Criminologists and justifiably deserves a suited academic building. Commenced in 2008, the building is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2010.

University Food Court Donated by the Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc (PCPPI), a food court was constructed at the east-wing of the WMSU Campus A. The Food Court houses 9 stalls and patronizes all Pepsi products and beverages. The establishment is situated in a location accessible by most colleges.

Other infrastructure projects are pending for implementation. These are:

Proposed Repair, Renovation and Repainting of Gymnasium Proposed Assessment Area Roof Extension Proposed Second & Third Floor Ceiling at the College of Law
