1. Provision of monitoring and evaluation report showing that the research outputs are being utilized. 

The BA Political Science Department has successfully completed the monitoring and evaluation report illustrating the utilization of research outputs, which is now being utilized to guide future research initiatives and enhance departmental practices. 

2. The program provides list of faculty members who obtained service credits and de-loading units of load. 

The BA Political Science Department at PSU-Narra has highlighted in a report that financial constraints as a self-liquidating campus limit the provision of de-loading for faculty. Despite these challenges, the department continues to produce significant research outputs, such as the Social Development Management Program of Citinickel Mines Corporation and the Community Disaster Risk Assessment of Narra, Palawan. While service credits and de-loading would enhance research productivity, faculty have shown remarkable dedication in balancing their teaching responsibilities with research initiatives. The department respectfully urges the AACUP accreditation team to consider these financial constraints as justification for the lack of de-loading while acknowledging the faculty's commitment to research excellence.
