The much-anticipated Strategic Planning and Budgeting Consultation-Workshop for 2025 of the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College (ISPSC) took place at the West Loch Hotel in Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur, from December 4 to 6, 2024. The workshop serves as a crucial annual event for the strategic direction and financial planning of the College, with key stakeholders from various units of the College participating in extensive discussions, planning, and the development of strategies for the upcoming year.
The event brought together the College's key officials, including the OIC of the SUC President, Dr. Christine N. Ferrer; Vice Presidents; Campus Administrators; Deans; Program Heads; and Heads of Administrative, Financial, and IGP Services. Additionally, representatives from Research and Extension, the Office of Student Affairs, Faculty and Non-Academic Employees Union Presidents, Student Leaders, and other offices under the SUC President's leadership contributed to the dynamic consultation process.
The primary objective of the workshop was to set clear strategic goals and targets for 2025. Key areas of focus included the National Expenditure Program (NEP) 2025, the SUC Levelling, and the ongoing University Conversion process. These critical topics were addressed during the PPMP (Project Procurement Management Plan) and PRE (Program of Receipts and Expenditures) preparation sessions, which set the groundwork for the College’s strategic development.
Day 1 of the workshop, December 4, 2024, commenced with an opening ceremony led by Dr. Ferrer, who delivered an inspirational message. This was followed by presentations from the College’s Vice Presidents: Anna Marie D. Barroga (Higher and Advanced Education Agenda 2025), Annabelle B. Francisco (Research and Extension Agenda 2025), and Dominador A. Ayson Jr. (Administration and Finance Agenda 2025).
Day 2, December 5, 2024, focused on the presentation of proposed plans and budgets by various campuses and offices under the leadership of their respective heads. These presentations provided an opportunity for each unit to share their strategies and financial needs for 2025. The Planning and Budgeting Committee (PBC) played a crucial role in offering critique and guidance to refine the proposals.
On Day 3, December 6, 2024, the workshop turned to finalizing the outputs, with presentations on the Annual Procurement Plan (APP), PPMP (Project Procurement Management Plan), and PRE (Program of Receipts and Expenditures). A significant portion of the day was dedicated to reviewing the procurement process and introducing new templates for OPCR/IPCR reports, as well as discussing the Learning and Development (L&D) Policy. The finalization of monitoring mechanisms for ensuring that the strategic goals and budgetary plans are executed effectively concluded the event.
The workshop’s outcomes included the development of a comprehensive Annual Plan of Action, Final PPMP, Final PRE, and policies for OPCR/IPCR, Enhanced Procurement Process, and Monitoring of Reports. These outputs will guide the College’s initiatives in 2025, ensuring that resources are utilized efficiently to meet the institution’s overarching goals of growth, innovation, and community service.
The Strategic Planning and Budgeting Consultation-Workshop is a vital process for ISPSC, promoting collaboration among all sectors of the institution and ensuring that each unit’s plans are aligned with the College’s strategic direction. As ISPSC continues to strive for excellence in education, research, and public service, this workshop lays a solid foundation for its continued success in the coming year.
