However, he emphasized that it is not a matter of the faculty's right because the head of the unit can reject the request for this. Regarding the number of hours, he said that the condition is that the limited exercise of a profession does not interfere with the duties and functions of the faculty position at the University. She agreed with President Concepcion's statement that limited practice is permitted as long as it does not interfere with the regular duties of the faculty and there should be no conflict of interest.
President Concepcion explained that if the university has a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with that government agency, the work will become part of the professor's duties. However, if there is no MOA, it becomes a restricted professional practice that may require approval from the Head of Unit and must be practiced outside the required office hours of the professor in UP. Since there were no questions from the members of the BOR, he requested confirmation of the three (3) cases on the list.

Proposed Enhanced Faculty Sick Leave Benefit (eFSLB) and Enhanced Service Recognition Pay (eSRP) Recognition Pay (eSRP). However, he added that the UP system administration is not yet ready to submit any concrete proposal for approval to the BOR because they are still looking for a steady source of funding to support the requested additional benefits amounting to an average of P90 million per year. These benefits are in addition to the 15 days sick leave and 15 days holiday leave guaranteed by the government through the Civil Service.
However, despite the efforts of the past five (5) consecutive Staff Regents to address the issue of benefit fairness, the eSRP still remained pegged at ten (10) days. She added that as a result of the pandemic, many administrative staff and REPS who have served the university for at least 25 years are considering retiring at age 60, and they want to take advantage of a higher amount of e-SRP. Their replacements may start at lower salary ranges and there will be savings to the university from the difference between the salary range of the vacated position and the replacement's salary, which can be deposited into a trust fund.
She recalled that President Concepcion said that the University could grant the 15-day eSRP if the UP system could look for a sustainable funding source to fund such a benefit and she believed that the trust fund could be sustainable in the long term become An authority to appoint and fill the vacated position is then requested from DBM if the unit wishes to replace the retired staff. Regarding the existing 10-day eSRP, President Concepcion informed the Council that the budget for the payment of eSRP is levied against the savings or income of the respective CUs.
He will have to consult the chancellors first if they can sustainably pay the additional five days of eSRP requested by administrative staff and REPS.

- On the guidelines for the selection and election of the 7 th Staff Regent
- On the holding over of Staff Regent Mylah Pedrano
President Concepcion further explained that since there are objections to the selection and election guidelines for the election of the 7th Staff Regent, he has referred Regent Pedrano's letter dated June 22, 2021 to the Office of the Vice President for Legal Affairs (OVPLA ). She said conditions at the university have changed since the adoption of the UP Charter in 2008. President Concepcion agreed with Regent Go that the inclusion of non-UP contracts cannot be resolved simply by revising the selection and election guidelines.
Regent Go proposed to return the guidelines to the industry to comply with the provisions of the UP Charter. Also, REPS, who do not have contractual contracts with UP, were allowed to vote for the REPS Welfare Council representatives in the 2018 elections. However, for the selection of the 7th Staff Regent, there were objections to the selection and election guidelines, which prompted the guidelines to be submitted to OVPLA for advice.
It is clear from the codified rules for the selection of student regents that the selection of student regents is solely a student matter. She also agreed with Regent Go's proposal to amend the provisions of the UP Charter in the future to include the non-UP contract employees in the selection of the Staff Regent. After further discussions, President Concepcion decided to return the guidelines for the selection and election of the 7th Staff Regent to the sector for further review and for compliance with Republic Act 9500, particularly with Section 12(h).
The BOR decided to return the Guidelines for the Selection and Election of the 7th Staff Regent to the sector for further review, and to comply with Republic Act 9500, especially Section 12 (h).
