- Reprogramming of UP System Administration’s Unexpended Balances of Prior Years’ Obligations in the amount of Seventy Million Pesos
The problem is that more than half of those who received scholarships to graduate schools cannot finish their studies on time and cannot write good papers. Chairman De Vera responded that this may be due to the disparity in admissions policies of graduate schools at institutions of higher education - some are lax, some are strict, some are just based on credentials, while some require proof of submitted information. He added that the problem is that CHED has spent so much money on graduate and PhD scholarships, but the completion rate is less than 50%.
This project is one of the intervention programs being proposed to address this. Chairman De Vera responded that CHED had already reduced the number of universities approved to accept CHED fellows from 152 to 40 for easy monitoring. 1In all decisions involving the disbursement of funds, it is understood that the same shall be subject to all existing state accounting and auditing laws, rules and regulations.
He then recommended that new projects requiring CHED financing should seek prior approval from CHED's finance department that previous projects of their CUs have been completed and that the funds have been appropriately liquidated. Only after they have complied with the foregoing can they submit any new project proposals to the Board for approval. Reprogramming of the unspent balances of previous years' obligations of UP System Administration in the amount of seventy million pesos. Liabilities from previous years amounting to seventy million pesos (PhP.
The expenditure of said amount shall be returned to the Board in the form of contracts. 1 In all resolutions involving the disbursement of funds, it is understood that the same shall be subject to all existing government accounting and auditing laws, rules and regulations.

On a related matter, Chairman De Vera informed the Board of Directors that a certain member of Congress had personally spoken to him to file a complaint against a certain faculty member for allegedly refusing to defend the dissertation of the congressman to approve. He said he was told too late to change his methodology when he was already working on his defense. This is not allowed because the methodological issue is resolved during the defense of the proposal, and once the proposal is adopted by the committee, the only thing you include in the defense of the thesis is looking at the data, the analysis of the data, the conclusion, and the recommendation. He was informed by the same Congressman of his plan to submit a resolution to the House of Representatives to investigate the University of the Philippines' handling of its graduate programs.
His advice was to put it in writing and submit it to the board so that it could be considered in due course. Approving the submission of a list of faculty members recommended for positions higher than the plantilla items currently assigned to them to the Department of Budget and Management; BAC Resolution and Notice of Award for the Second Phase of the Construction of the UP Manila Main Library and Learning Commons through the Proposed Negotiated Procurement (Contiguous or Contiguous).
