EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It was a generous year for the Western Mindanao State University as it was markedby profusion in terms of recognition and grants received. It was also a year of reform as theinstitution was restructured at the administrative level.

The streamlining of the organizational structure resulted to a more efficientmanagement, operations and liberal control, which in turn translates better overall schooladministration. The fusing and fissioning of functions give the office, unit or department thefocus and flexibility to accomplish their individual tasks expeditiously.

At the academic level, the recognition given by the national accreditation entities tothe three colleges, namely: the College of Agriculture, the College of Education, and theCollege of Nursing is a proof of the Universitys commitment to fulfill its obligation with thehighest possible standards. Such distinction will reflect the competence and capability ofeach graduate of the institution as they face the next hurdle in life: getting employed. Thehigh 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 forprofessional work. As a molder of society, the University does not inhibit itself to merelyequipping them with the tools needed for employment, but ingrain knowledge and wisdom,and use them for humanitys advancement. The various colleges likewise have performed atpar as they have and will continue to produce successful, responsible and contributingcitizens.

The University kept its line of sight in providing quality instruction especially tothose who need it most: the ones who are mired with the other necessities for survival. TheScholarships Office exhausts all resources and linkages to accommodate student scholarsnumbering 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 educationas perceived by these generous benefactors.

In terms of extension service, the Research, Development and Extension have alwaysbeen responsive and heeding to the needs of the community. The Department of ExtensionServices and Community Development has delivered social and extension services in theform of livelihood training and skills development programs for the marginalized and thedelinquents, and converted them into productive elements of the community. These services,indirectly ushers peace and development as communities gain the inclination to be self-reliant and independent. These two rudiments of social development sustain a progressivemindset and subsequently lead to the social maturity of an individual.

On environmental issues, WMSU have always been an advocate for environmentalpreservation. The Research, Development and Extension Research, Development andEvaluation Center (RDEC) in collaboration with College of Forestry and EnvironmentalSciences (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 haveengaged in environmental efforts to curb or mitigate negative impacts of pollution, forestdenudation, and accelerated urbanization. Starting off with solid waste disposal, research onseptage management had been conducted to assess the citys household sanitary andsewerage standards and practices. At the rural scene, the CFES is experimenting on fast-growing and indigenous tress with soil retention characteristics for rapid reforestation andwatershed protection. Outputs from these researches will be useful for policy formulation atthe local and national levels.

Still on environmental concerns, the low-cost biogas system donated by theDepartment of Agriculture serves as a working demo for small-sized poultry, livestock andswine production with dual economic benefits in the form of flammable gas and organicfertilizer. It arrived at a no better timing when the rising cost of fuel and environmentalpressures on fossil fuel use is of utmost concern. It is the quintessence of an environmental-friendly and practical system that can be universally adopted.

With focus on agriculture sustainability, the Agriculture, Forestry and NaturalResources (AFNR) Project was fully implemented boosting enrollment in agriculture and

forestry courses by curriculum intervention with the aim of raising the employment ratio inthe AFNR sector. Complementing the academics, the project further catered WMSU AFNRalumni by providing them with the technical expertise to efficiently manage the agriculturalindustry as employees or as private entrepreneurs.

The years accomplishment is a reflection of the institutions resilience to overcomethe odds and the result of concerted efforts of each component moving the Universityforward.

ACADEMICS

The continuity of the institutions century-old legacy of quality education carries onto the next generation. The Western Mindanao State University remains committed toproviding affordable quality education to the community and preserves its responsiveness tothe changes of an evolving society. The increased demand for technical, tourism and alliedmedicine professionals coupled with the booming outsourcing industry, ensued institutionalinitiatives and academic reforms to capitalize university intellectual resources and potentials.Through the offering of corporate academic programs, ladderized curriculum and technicaleducation courses, employment prospects for graduates are brighter as the modular approach

present options for applicants with preference and specialization. Also, the University isproactively responding to local industries human resource requirement supplying theseindustries with skilled and capable manpower. Further, WMSU kept its crosshairs on theself-sufficiency concept and entrepreneurship agenda of its agriculture and forestry graduatesthus consequently promoting privately owned and managed agro-forestry micro-industriesand at the same time keeping a keen eye on environmental education through research anddevelopment of eco-friendly technologies for integration and adoption.

Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources

The declining enrollment in Agriculture and Forestry courses compelled thePhilippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) tolaunch the Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources (AFNR) program entitledEnhancing the Demand for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Graduates throughScience and Technology. As an agriculture-based country, the AFNR aims at uplifting theagriculture and forestry sector by giving focus on human resource potential and development

It is an alarming fact that by the turn of the century, the earth will be less capable ofsupporting itself due to pollution, forest denudation, over-population and exhaustion of life-supporting rudiments. The College of Engineering, College of Science and Mathematics andthe College of Forestry and Environmental Studies have embarked on recycling programsspecifically on urban water waste recycling and reforestation of watersheds and catch basinareas. Although these initiatives are miniscule in all respects relative to global or evennational environmental thrusts, they portray the academes role in crises managementspecifically modeling of climate-change effects mitigation and containment. The colleges arefocused on urban planning which involve a series of studies conducted by students andmentors who employ reversible and re-engineering concepts for existing life-supportingsystems. Results from these tasks could provide profound insights on the effects of rapidurbanization and habitation and the subsequent formulation of policies to avert grander-scaleand 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 academicprofessionals from the Commission on Higher Education Accrediting Agency forChartered State Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) performedevaluative procedures for the Colleges re-accreditation to Level II which was stripped lastDecember of 2008. Accreditation criteria are composed but not limited to the following:laboratory facilities, competence and qualification of faculty, student support, ProfessionalRegulations Commission Licensure Examinations performance, research capabilities,graduate program offerings and library resource.

The programaims at providing the same WMSU quality education to clients with varying daytimeschedules giving them the chance to pursue and finish secondary school.

At the elementary level, the ILES faculty is employing varying methods for pupilpotentials development. Through competitive activities, pupils are motivated to participate inin-campus and off-campus contests which build self-confidence and interest to learn. Theseactivities range from quiz bowls to music and arts competitions to sports events, and, notsurprisingly, these pupils are able to bring home accolades. The competitive environment andthe learning aid in skills enhancement especially for elementary pupils who need properguidance, direction and encouragement.

Community Development and Social Welfare

Analogous to extension work, the College of Social Work and CommunityDevelopment with its Field Instruction Work edict per RA 4373 delegate students and fieldsupervisors to various social sectors to render 1,000 hours of field work. As primemover ofsocial welfare initiatives and humanitarian efforts, the College exposes its classes to realitiesin the field thereby nurturing their competencies and strengthening their commitment topublic service as social and community welfare workers. Field Instruction Work deploystudents in the following agencies: Philippine National Red Cross, Bureau of JailManagement and Penology, Family Court, Parole and Probation Office, Department of

Social Welfare and Development, and Brent Hospital. Further, community servicing for aconsiderable number of barangays in the city were likewise part of the FIW.

The College of Social Work and Community Development is recognized as one ofthe best in the region because of its high passing rates in the licensure examinations. This hascontributed to the employability of the successful community workers in various public andnon-government organization institutions.

Travel and Tourism

The recent trends in the tourism industry specifically the high prospects for overseasemployment have resulted to increased student enrollment in BS Hotel and RestaurantManagement and BS Nutrition and Dietetics. Initially, the University had signed anagreement with the fast-food conglomerate on practicum delegation as part of the academicprogram for BS Hotel and Restaurant Management scholars. This year, the College hasestablished linkage with a shipping industry for on-board familiarization for BS Nutrition and


32/103

30

Dietetics graduating students. Part of the on-vessel orientation is food management andservicing, and public relations and hospitality.

Considered as career advancement and professionalization of desk officers, waitersand bar attendants, the College of Home Economics instilled formal, relevant and up-to-dateacademic instruction in the BS Hotel and Restaurant Management profession thereby givinggraduates the edge when faced with stiff competition for overseas job market.

The BS Hotel and Restaurant Management course connotes tourism with affluenceand luxury. With this in mind, the College visited Dakak, Zamboanga del Norte and Ceburenowned tourist spots for their educational tour exposing students to actual hotel and resortoperations and administration. As employees and eventual managers, BSHRM and BSNDstudents are given the opportunity to access top-class establishments to be trained assuccessful hotel and resort managers.

Architecture and Urban Planning

In 1979, the University opened the BS Architecture academic program under theCollege of Engineering and Technology. It then turned into a college in 1993 thru BoardResolution No. 12 s. 1991 and was declared as a Center for Development 2 in 1999 by theCommission on Higher Education due to its commendable performance in producing top-grade architects, award-winning researches, and delivering extension services with socialimpact.

Through casual networks with WMSU architects abroad, professional linkages areestablished in the Middle East and Southeast Asia for job prospects as draftsmen orarchitects. WMSU architects have gained the confidence of foreign employers who prefer theWMSU 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 ofacademic programs such as the revised BS Architecture, implementation of the new BSArchitecture Program (CHED M.O. 61.s. 2006), and offering of pre-baccalaureate courses,namely; 2-year certificate in Drafting Technology, 3 -year certificate in BuildingTechnology and Utilities, and 4-year certificate in Computer Aided Drafting Design, thecollege encourages the utilization of Computer Aided Design (CAD) as the application isnow 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 betapped through human resource development such as training and orientation on their

powerful application. These courses are aligned with the Universitys thrust on employabilityof technical graduates through modular approach.

on watershed and forest management. Since the establishment and stewardship of the WMSUExperimental Forest Area at Upper La Paz, Zamboanga City, the department performsperiodic assessment and modeling on the existing forest cover, rate of erosion as well as fieldtrials 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 ofEngineering are exploiting the Geographical Positioning System technologyto map specific areas or locations of interest. Fed into the Graphical UsersInterface of GIS software, data are stored and converted into virtualimages in two and three dimensions making it easier for users tovisualized actual or virtual locational situations. The instrument is veryuseful for variety of applications requiring maps with physical andthematic attributes. This instrument and itsperipherals are used extensively for instruction andresearch.

Precision instrumentation aids in probing so-

called unchartered territories in the field ofphysical science. The College of Science and

Mathematics throughthe efforts of aformer faculty have acquired a Gas Chromatograph alaboratory apparatus used to separate gas mixtures by virtueof absorption capacity differences. The Gas Chromatographcan be utilized for a range of applications and is indispensablefor instruction and research specifically in alterative fuelsexploration a priority area viewed at another angle of theentire sustainable environment perspective.

College Researches


Food security, sustainableagriculture, and environmentalpreservation are pressing issuesbesetting the national administration. Inrecent years, the steady decline inenrollment in Agriculture, Forestry andNatural Resources (AFNR) coursesmanifests the sectors lack of skilled

human resource to complement andefficiently manage the countrys capitalresources. This prompted Department ofScience and Technology - PhilippineCouncil for Agriculture, Forestry and

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

Inherent in the 10.5M DOST-PCARRD AFNR Project is the curriculum interventionfor 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 andlinkage between academe and the industry. Aptly named Enhancing the Demands ofZAMPEN SUCs AFNR Graduates Through Curriculum Intervention Using ModularApproach with High S&T Content, the project aims at increasing employability ratio ofAFNR graduates in Zamboanga Peninsula being an agriculture-based region. Modulesinclude training of trainors and instructors, upgrading of library and laboratory facilities, andagricultural 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 MindanaoAgriculture, 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 engagedin extensive research endeavors, the WESMARRDEC facilitates the rapiddevelopment of agricultural technologies through five keys areas of implementationand adoption; R&D Management, R&D Activities, R&D Utilization and TechnologyManagement, Capability Building and Governance, and Policy Advocacy for S&TDevelopment.

For the year, the Consortium coordinated the conduct of two Agency-In-House-Reviews with 22 research papers evaluated of which 7 were selected forpresentation in the Regional R&D Symposium. On R&D Utilization, theestablishment of the Farmers Information and Technology Service (FITS) Centerssupports and complements the LGUs agricultural initiatives and programs. Since the

institutionalization of the Techno Gabay Program, there were 15 FITS Centersestablished located strategically in the different parts of the region - each playingcausative roles in improving the quality of life of the common farmer. The latestbeing at Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte which aims at providing up-to-dateinformation on farming systems and technologies best applicable in the localethrough the Consortiums Information, Education and Communications (IEC)dissemination.

Matching WESMARRDECefforts, the Department ofAgriculture a member agency incoordination with the Consortium,launched the Adoption of S&TBased Integrated CropManagement and GoodAgricultural Practices (GAP) forSaba and Lakatan in Region IX.This PCARRD-funded project

aims at uplifting small-scalebanana farmers by increasing farmproductivity through S&T-basedintegrated cultural managementstrategies for insect pests anddiseases.

For Capability Building,the Consortium delivered threetraining programs in line withtechnology generation and

adoption. These are: TechnologyAssessment Protocol, ProposalPreparation, Writing andExperimental Designs, andIntellectual Property Rights.

All these research effortswere successfully implementedthanks to the strong collaboration,coordination and cooperation of the Consortiums member agencies and PCARRDsfull support.

As the government earns from taxesand revenues from these industries, so too does it spend forhealthy lifestyle campaigns, drugs and health and medicaltreatments related to smoking. On the outset, it was found

out that smoking prevalence exist among youths aged the12-18 years age bracket. Such vulnerability amplifies theneed for government and civic group intervention.

The Southeast Asia Tobacco Control Alliance(SEATCA) tied up with the RDEC in establishing thesefacts. Also, government intervention was obliged throughthe participation of the Department of Health and

Department of Education in tobacco information drivefor secondary and tertiary schools. Republic Act 9211strengthens this drive as it stipulates the regulation of

packaging, advertising, distribution and sale of alltobacco products. The marketing strategies of tobaccocompanies are specifically targeting the populationmost susceptible to pop culture the youth. These areresults of the SEATCA-RDEC collaboration researchon tobacco use.

Research Promotion

Instilling a culture of research is RDECs main

objective. Each college is compelled to do researchheaded by the college research coordinator. Theannual hosting of the Agency-In-House-Reviewserves this specific purpose; it is a venue forpresentation and deliberation of research outputs andresearch proposals for possible funding. Twenty-four
