She clarified that both the SPS and APS awards take into account the faculty's past performance. However, upon renewal of the award, new performance and productivity within the prescribed settlement period will be taken into account.

However, she added that the Invention Disclosure Program of the UP System Technology Transfer and Business Development Office (TTBDO) encourages the scientists to make their scientific inventions public by providing assistance in patent applications. He noted the comments of Regents Go and Aguiluz to see how the University will also benefit from these awards given to artists and scientists. For her part, Regent Dupo shared that one of the benefits of the SPS Award for scholars like her is that faculty members, especially junior faculty, can focus and plan their development as faculty because the criteria are very strict.

The cost of the FMP for 2021 is approximately P per year, which will be derived from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) Personal Services (PS) allocation and from time off. As for the average amount of the raise, Regent Dupo said the raise depends on the salary grade of the promoted faculty, but it usually ranges from P600 to P2,000 per month.

However, during the said committee meeting, the BOR Finance Committee recommended that it be increased to PGH50,000 with the instruction that the UP System and PGH look into the possibility of a further increase to PGH75,000 to be commensurate with the salary of the 220 permanent PGH fellows holding plantilla subjects . Therefore, he recommended maintaining the proposal to increase the stipend to P50,000 per month per scholarship holder. 1 All decisions involving the disbursement of funds are understood to be subject to all existing state accounting and auditing laws, rules and regulations.
He therefore recommended, considering the 32% tax to be imposed on the P75,000 salary of these fellows with objects, that the most practical and reasonable amount of stipend to be given to post-graduate fellows is P50,000 . Regent Pagdanganan seconded Regent Laurel's proposal to study the compensation scheme for the residency and post-residency fellow programs in terms of equity and source of productivity. He understands that PGH is currently heavily dependent on government subsidies due to the pandemic.
He asked that the Board initially approve the increase to P50,000, with instructions to seriously study the possibility of increasing the same to an amount comparable to what fellows receive with plantilla articles when PGH normalizes its operations. There being no objections, PGH's request to increase the post-graduate scholarship stipend to P50,000 per month was approved, effective January 1, 2022. Lease Agreement (Renewal) between the University of the Philippines and Citibank for the latter's use of Forbes Park Property, for a period of Citibank for the latter's use of Forbes Park property, for a period of five (5) years, from December 25, 2021 to December 24, 2026.
He related that the said property was acquired by Citibank during the effectiveness of the Laurel-Langley agreement. When the Laurel-Langley Agreement expired, Citibank donated the property to the University of the Philippines on the condition that UP lease the property to Citibank. On December 28, 1976, the University and Citibank entered into a lease over the property for a period of twenty-five (25) years commencing on December 24, 1976, which has since been continuously renewed upon expiration.
The current lease expires on December 24, 2021 and Citibank is seeking to renew it for another five (5) years. She said that while Citibank's lease payment is only about 32% of the appraised value of the property, the University continues to renew the lease as a concession since Citibank was the original owner of the property. There being no objections to the motion duly made and seconded, the renewal of the lease was approved.
