Almost half of the Bicolanos (48.5%) in 2003, live below the poverty threshold

low quality of basic education;
youth’s inability to pursue higher education
beyond secondary level;
low levels of skills acquired in tertiary education;
inadequate employment opportunities;
mismatch between the skills acquired by the labor force and the skills required by the labor market; and
low productivity
These are the challenges to Bicol University (BU) and all other HEIs in the region.
Bicol University, along with the rest of the SUCs are mandated to address
the societal goal of “human development towards poverty reduction
and sustainable development.” They share the common goal of “enhanced knowledge and skills, attitudes and
values of Filipinos to lead productive lives,” by producing globally
competitive graduates, generating and disseminating new knowledge and
technologies, and improving the welfare of local community through its three-fold function of instruction, research
and extension services.
SUCs are encouraged to undertake reasonable cost
recovery measures for goods and services delivered…to assist in the revenue enhancement effort of the
government and encouraged better service delivery.
SUCs leadership is called upon not only to exercise internal efficiency but to generate
resources; to be more creative in resource generation and
management though adoption of value adding activities.
The paper has the twin-purpose of:
Showcasing the practices of Bicol University with respect to funds generation towards self- sustainability guided by the framework for financial resource generation contained in the BOR-approved COMDEV Plan: 2003-2013; and Illustrating the mainstreaming of production into the core competencies of the teaching and non-teaching personnel as they carry out their instruction, research and extension functions.

Approved by the BOR in September, 2003 for implementation
effective January 2004.
Provides a 10-year framework for all development activities in the areas of academic programs, the organizational structure, human resource, physical resource development and financial component including resource generation or production function. Academic program component defined the development directions of BU’s curricular programs to be more relevant and responsive to regional, national and global development needs along its mandated functions: instruction, research and extension. Production mandate of BU is undertaken to improve the University’s financial capacity through productive endeavors along its mandated functions.
Financial component of the plan relies on an innovative resource- generating and fund-sourcing program. Internally generated funds or university revenues are intended primarily to finance the BU Development Investment Program. These revenues include (a) income from tuition and other school fees, (b) income from fiduciary fees, and (c ) other incomes.
As projected, the University would be able to generate a progressively increasing aggregate income annually, targeted at Php 955 M over the 10-year period programmed to finance the various activities and projects of the university including:
Staff and Students Welfare Php 66.9 MMOOE Augmentation 382.1 MCapital Outlay 429.8 MSupport to University Operations 47.8 MInvestment Portfolio 28.7 M
Integrated within instruction, the research and extension agenda of BU address the worsening problems of poverty in Bicol focusing on its root causes and effects.
External sources of funding outside the regular national subsidy are strongly pursued to fund priority programs such as staff and student development, modernization of physical facilities including providing interconnectivity, among others. Collaborative undertakings in research and extension are explored through strong linkages with research and development agencies as well as foreign funding donors. Production activities are undertaken not only on the basis of financial return but as income generating projects anchored on departmental expertise, resources and the University’s academic thrusts.

Generating additional resources is a big challenge to any university president. All SUCs operate on a combination of government and self-generated funds. As government funds
allocation diminish, the need for raising revenues from both external and internal sources at the initiative of the SUC management becomes all the more pressing. The need to generate more resources is greater among big SUCs like Bicol
University with more than 17 thousand students and more than a thousand personnel. BU has to harness and derive income from all its resources to supplement government subsidy to fund its
major thrusts and directions. The first half of the COMDEV Plan implementation of its production
policy directions (2004-2008) has seen a substantial headway toward the achievement of
its set targets. But more needs to be done.
Maximize the use of BU’s 829 hectares of agricultural lands and derive income from agri-tech business projects. The uplands and hilly lands could well be used as demonstration farms. Alternative productivity arrangements may be offered to the informal settlers occupying portions of BU’s land resources.
Provide special incentives to stimulate patentable innovation.
Forge research and development (R & D) collaboration with all the SUCs in the Region especially in projects that address food security and climate change adaptation, recognizing that each SUC has strength in areas the others may need. Monitor & regulate personnel’s IGP engagement so as not to jeopardize their regular functions. HEIs growing reliance on entrepreneuralism, if not properly regulated can compromise quality, if personnel in their entrepreneurial engagement, are sidetracked from their academic tasks. Safeguard the institutional autonomy of the university by becoming selective in the grants/gifts it accepts.
Intensify local government units (LGUS) - academe partnership in addressing the educational needs of the students, particularly the poor but academically deserving students. Consistent with the Department of Budget and Management’s directive, Bicol University should undertake reasonable cost recovery measures for the educational services and other related services it delivers to the public and other agencies to assist in the revenue enhancement effort of the government. Introduce all BU personnel to its institutional model of organizational performance indicator framework (OPIF) which illustrates the mainstreaming of generation and use of income the trilogy of university function of instruction, research and extension.
