IMPROVEMENT OF PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURETO SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

In school year 2008-2009, we were able to accomplish the innovative idea of printingcomposition notebooks which has given the SBE-Elementary Department a quality and a uniquelySilliman product. The notebooks, featuring four landmark pictures of the University, have made thePress the first in Negros Oriental to venture into this kind of enterprise. This project is also madepossible through the wholehearted support of Director Prof. Francisco E. Ablong. This opening of schoolyear 2009-2010, another product is also being undertaken, namely the writing pads from Grades 1, 2, 3, 4and the intermediate paper.

The Silliman Press continues to prove what we have always stood for – quality service in printingand fairness in giving prices. The financial operation of the Press posted a positive net income ofP714,312.26 in 10 months from June 2008 to March 2009. Hopefully at the close of this school year, wemay be able to meet the 1 million peso-income. This performance is a big development, therebyboosting our morale as a service unit of this University.

Last June, Silliman Press acquired an instant digital colored machine which provided greatassistance in the operation of printing colored jobs such as posters, brochures, flyers, and other coloredmaterials. This year we plan to do the following:

1. Continue the marketing and promotional drive in Negros Oriental and Siquijor provinces;2. Purchase two colored risograph machines;3. Acquire the latest technology of computers with upgraded programs;4. Upgrade existing machines;5. Market our latest product – notebooks and writing pads – to other establishments,

department stores, or even other schools.

BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

The Buildings and Grounds Department has been tasked on the maintenance of structures andgrounds of the University and ensuring, as in the past, compliance of the needs for repairs, renovation,constructions, hauling, transport services and the garbage collections on campus and at Silliman MedicalCenter Foundation, Inc. (SMCFI) compound.

For the efficient and speedy delivery of services, the University supported our department’sneeds in the purchase of one (1) unit Mitsubishi Canter Truck, one (1) unit Mitsubishi Boom Truck, three(3) units Ramstar and one (1) unit Yamaha 125 STX motorcycle.

Campus academic buildings/facilities were renovated and rehabilitated, thereby significantlyimproving services to our students in the ensuing school year like the Amphitheater, High School,Elementary School, Heflin Hall, Abby Jacobs, Luce Auditorium, SU Cafeteria, Oriental Hall, Hibbard Hall,Guy Hall, Uytengsu Hall, among others. The Nursing Building 2 Phase I (structural) and construction ofPhase II (finishes) is on-going.

Repairs on all dormitories and SU Church comfort rooms were done as well as the repairs ofparking areas, concrete block at Roman T. Yap road, clearing of clogged drainage canals, concreting ofcanal, construction of a septic tank at SU Gym, rehabilitation of canals from SU Gym to Hibbard Avenue,and from Ladies Coop Dorms to Oriental Hall.

On campus beautification developments, the department has accomplished the landscaping andplanting of ornamental plants at the East Quadrangle, constructed plant boxes along the sides ofHibbard Avenue with landscaped improvements, and fences were lowered.

The Department also installed lights and posts at Faurot Lane. Fire suppression facility using watersprinklers for Doltz Hall, Larena Hall, and Woodward Hall were installed.

CAMPUS BEAUTIFICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTStarting last year, the Buildings and Grounds department started improving the landscape around

the acacia trees located at East Quadrangle and is still continuing at West Quadrangle and in the rest of thecampus. Gumamelas were planted around both quadrangles and are now approximately three feet tall.Also, the landscape in front of the Multimedia Center was improved and developed.

The fence of the East and West Quadrangle along Hibbard Avenue was replaced by a plant box withlandscape and matching lighting. Additional to the plant box is a paver walk on both sides of the boxes.

The Beautification Committee has identified areas on the campus to be improved. These are areasbetween buildings. Fortunately, there are donors who have expressed and donated some amounts for thedevelopment of the areas between Udarbe Memory Chapel and Occidental Hall, and between UytengsuComputer Studies Hall, Science Complex, and Ausejo Hall.

FOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT

The Food Services Department has managed to register positive operating results despite theeffects of the economic downturn characterized by rising cost of basic commodities as a result of theincrease in oil prices worldwide. During the ten-month period from June 2008 to March 2009, net incomefrom operations is at Ps. 4,476,764.48. While gross revenue is higher compared to the same period lastschool year 2007-08, the minimal increase in the prices of goods and services this school year could onlypartially absorb the increase in the cost of raw materials and goods purchased. Thus, in comparison, thecurrent percentage of cost of goods sold to gross revenues is at 65.04 percent against 57.79 percent lastyear. This is mainly due to the fact that fixed board rates are pegged at the start of the school year andare not adjusted accordingly when there is an increase in the cost of the meals served. This year, theCafeteria served 592, 230, and 227 fixed board residents in the first semester, second semester andsummer respectively, accounting for the biggest share of revenues which stands at Ps. 14,829,802.20 asof March 31, 2009.

Aside from operating and maintaining university food outlets, the department has been given theadditional task of overseeing and supervising all food concessionaires inside the campus. While foodkiosks operated by outside entities have been on campus for a few years now, only recently was thedepartment designated to perform such task. The move was made to ensure that the food serviceproviders will abide by the University’s policies, rules and regulations especially in the observance ofhealth and sanitary practices as well as the ban on smoking and drinking of liquor, among others.

TESDA PROGRAMThe Ticao Project of Silliman University has implemented three technical-vocational courses in

cooperation with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), namely AnimalProduction with 20 students, Crop Production with 20 students, and Masonry with 25 students. Allfaculty handling these courses are all on part-time status. Additional courses planned to beimplemented are: Housekeeping, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Cosmetology, and ComputerHardware Technician.

COCONUT PROJECTThe Coconut Project is now harvesting as much as 80% of the total harvestable production, for the

first time since Silliman has taken over the management of the farm. The squatters are now limited onthe area where they have put up their residence. Negotiations are still ongoing with the help of BishopJoel Baylon, DD, bishop of Masbate for the squatters to accept our terms based on the developmentframework of Ticao Project.

SOCIAL FENCING PROGRAMThere are 43 families that are farmer cooperators of this program. They serve as the laborers of

the Coconut Project and other projects in the farm, at the same time they are given areas of around ahectare for them to farm. All income from their farm is solely used for family consumption tosupplement their income from their fishing and off farm activities.

ANIMAL PROJECTThe population growth of animals is evidenced by the increase in number of newly born animals

that are roaming with their dams. Efforts should be made to improve the fencing and making ofpaddocks to monitor closely the production of these animals. Development of other projects, asidefrom the layer and broiler which are existing, should also be given attention mainly to supplement thevocational technical program of TESDA.

PROJECT CHALLENGESWith the TESDA Program, classrooms and students’ dormitories need to be built to cater for

students coming from distant places, and to improve the teaching-learning environment. Repair of theold buildings need to be done to prevent them from further deterioration.

LINKAGES

The initiatives of Silliman University under relevance and reach run alongside its continuing effortsto make its programs and services matter to the lives of both its internal and external constituencies.

School year 2008-2009 was marked with activities that further widened the University’s communityof partners of Silliman. It attests to its commitment to develop the culture of “friend-raising” as an approachto advancing its institutional interests and advocacies.

Silliman University took up leadership roles in significant academic organizations. President Dr. BenS. Malayang III was voted Philippine representative to the Executive Committee of the Association ofChristian Universities and Colleges in Asia in mid-2008. The last time Silliman was represented in theExecutive Council was in 1989. In May 2009, Dr. Malayang was also unanimously voted President of theAssociation of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities (ACSCU). For year 2009, the ACSCU Presidentautomatically concurrently becomes Chairman of the Coordinating Council of Private EducationalAssociations, the umbrella association of five other associations of private Protestant and Catholic schoolsin the Philippines.

Projects that Silliman completed and continue to undertake are supported by grants from fundingagencies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, United States Agency for InternationalDevelopment, and Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research andDevelopment. These are projects related to agro-forestry, coastal resource management, reproductivehealth, and environmental and good governance.

Silliman’s continuing partnership with the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia(UBCHEA) produced in SY 2008-2009 opportunities for faculty members to pursue further studies in thePhilippines and abroad, do research and attend conferences in Indonesia and Hong Kong on diverse topicscovering marine conservation, service-learning, liberal arts education, and digital humanities.

Advocacies of the University came out strong when it hosted three conferences with national andinternational participation.

CURE INTERNATIONAL AND SU: AN ALUMNI-BASED OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

• An outreach and engagement partnership was initiated, implemented, and evaluated by an alumnichapter in Southeast Texas. The goal: to provide a basis for a start-up Development Office activity for aChristian university in Southeast Asia.

• Impacts generated include: enhanced dialogue, collaboration, and partnerships among SU, fourhospitals, a non-profit global organization, and the alumni chapter; enabling and empowering capacityof the chapter to proactively generate funds; motivation to seek new funding partners.

• Significance of the strategy: SU can share this outreach and engagement process as basis forreplication among other chapters in North America and elsewhere; the chapters may elect to use thisoutreach and engagement process; alumni who are not yet organized into chapters can opt to use thisprocess of engagement with SU; the outreach and engagement process may be refined to further thereality of creating a University Development Office.

• Stakeholder needs were attained in this manner, thus far: University academic and community needswere articulated with alumni in North America; global non-profit mission of bringing health and hope tohospitals wasmet by providing a 40-foot container van of medical goods and equipment; another non-profit organization provided major funding for the 40-foot container van.

• The findings of this endeavor can be used in various ways: SU can use this outreach and engagementstrategy as basis to move forward with the creation of an Office of Development; the global non-profitrelationship can be sustained by having staggered shipments of medical goods and equipment; alumnichapters can use/refine this outreach and engagement process; fund-generating activities can bedeliberated when new partners and collaborators are sought in a sustainable manner.
