There is a need for a new and larger location for the UP Cebu campus and UP will work with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to explore the possibility of finding real estate for a larger UP Cebu campus. President Concepcion said UP Cebu should take that proposal to the Office of the President. For example, there are no junior teams in chess, but there are groups of people who would like to finance a junior chess team.
He said that he had not yet received any feedback from the College of Human Kinetics when he brought the matter up with them in person. There was apparently resistance from the UP Integrated School to create a junior chess team and even for other events because he got word that the Head would not allow it. Chairman De Vera proposed that the matter be included in the special information session of the Council.
The board directed the College of Human Kinetics to brief the board on the recruiting process for varsity players through VAAS, including the status of sports programs at the junior (high school) level.

He informed the Board that he was on the UP panel while the UP Charter was being debated in Congress, and it was clear in those discussions that the bill was intended to give the university fiscal autonomy, along with an exemption from service requirements. civil for the appointment of faculty members, as well as research, extension and professional staff (REPS). He agreed with Regent Go that this issue should be resolved as soon as possible because CHED is also being released COA observations on the funds given to UP through the Disbursement Acceleration Program projects. President Concepcion said he will do so, but, in the meantime, he asked if the Board could approve the matter because the salaries for the non-UP workers and contractors come from the reprogrammed funds in the MOOE.
The documents were emailed to the members of BOR's finance committee and the chairman of the finance committee gave his approval via email. He learned that the PGH director has already requested Malacañang to divert some of the money to other purposes because the P100 million is too much for the use of the emergency room. Since PGH is unable to utilize the full PhP100 million per month due to the built-in restrictions in the facilities, the subsidy had been cut to just PhP25 million, which can be topped up when used.
If PGH only needs PhP 25 million per month for emergency rooms, it can be asked to use the PhP 75 million for other purposes. This PhP40 million fund will be able to meet their SRP and eHOPE requirements over the next two (2) years. He recalled from one of the board meetings that even a donation of electric fans went to the board.
President Concepcion responded that accepting donations is within the Council's authority unless delegated to the President or Chancellor. He proposed reviewing the existing delegation of powers in the area of donations, in particular the threshold amounts for the President or Chancellor. The board directed the president to prepare a proposal to the BOR for the delegation to the president of the authority to approve donations.

However, he recalled that in the case of the research vessel Kasarinlan, the first vessel of the Marine Science Institute (MSI), the MSI had the vessel's specifications approved by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) before its acquisition He said that it would also be good to ask the DBM for approval of the specifications for the proposed four (4) vessels.
