C.2.3 The Planning and Review Process of the Development Plan

C.2.3.1 Brief Description PUP Action Plan

The university uses a Top-Down- Bottom-Up Sequential approach in crafting the four-year Institutional Development Plan. The procedure starts with the information dissemination by the national government, through Commission on Higher Education (CHED), on the long-term goals and objectives of the education sector that will contribute to the Philippine Development Plan (PDP). Updated policies on budget spending from Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and SUC Levelling requirements from the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) are also obtained to determine the proper strategic actions and expenditures to meet such policies and requirements. Based on the inputs from the national government agencies and organizations, the Office of the President consolidates and cascades these inputs to the different sector heads, specifically, the Vice Presidents who then inform the heads of offices and units under their supervision. Said inputs, together with the University Vision and Mission, and the President’s Agenda, serve as references for each office in the crafting of MUST-DO Program. Each sector will then consolidate the Must-Do programs of the various units/offices under its jurisdiction to come up a unified Sector Plan. All Sector Plans are then taken into consideration by the IDP Committee to come up with a cohesive Institutional Development Plan for the University. This prepared IDP is endorsed and presented by the Executive Committee (EXECOM) to the University Board of Regents (BOR).

C.2.3.2 Brief Description of the Review Process of the Development Plans
