1. President Concepcion clarified that per review of BOR policy on the matter, and as

agreement which require a special budget from the University are in fact subject to

BOR confirmation.

concerning the MOAs.

Chancellors in the proper case, until after the same is reviewed, first by the legal counsel

of the CU initiating it, then a second review by the VP for Legal, to ensure there are no

potential damages to the University.

. . .

B.1 On the policy of the Board regarding matters for confirmation:

. . .

6. Regent Jimenez questioned how the Board can effectively inquire into the substance of

the MOAs that are being submitted belatedly for confirmation, citing the MOA between

NCPAG and the OWWA that ended in February 2017 but was submitted for

confirmation of the BOR only in April 2017.

7. In reply to Regent Escudero, Chair Licuanan said the MOAs for confirmation should be

submitted as close to the date of the agreement as possible, or at least within one month

from commencement of the contract, at the Board’s monthly meeting.

8. Regent Senator Escudero inquired if there is a unit or office in the University that

accounts for how much each college gets additionally through its MOAs. These income

impacts on the overall UP budget as some colleges get substantial additional earnings

while others do not.

9. Regent Arinto added that MOAs should be reviewed not only on the issue of budget but

likewise on its terms pertaining to personnel services, including permissible

remuneration for government employees or limit for administrative expenses.

10. Regent Farolan moved (a) that a reminder be issued for all CUs or units to submit MOAs

for Board action within the project duration; (b) that the President delegate the

appropriate official to review all policies pertaining to income-generating projects

entered into by the different units or foundations within the University, and recommend

policies to the Board for adoption.

III. OTHER MATTERS

1. Request for Transcript of Records of Mr. John Rhayel S. Delos Santos, BS Applied

Mathematics student of the University of the Philippines Los Baños


• As against the refusal of UP Los Baños to issue a TOR to the subject student who was

expelled, the OVP Legal recommends release of the TOR with a permanent entry on

the fact of expulsion under the Revised Rules and Regulations Governing Fraternities,

Sororities and Other Organizations.

• Regent Farolan proposed that a study be conducted on a “second chances” program

for expelled students, including those unable to re-enrol for violation of the maximum

residency requirement.

III. OTHER MATTERS

. . .

2. Conferment of Doctor of Laws degrees on certain individuals


• President Concepcion informed the Board that UP Diliman, to honor a long standing

tradition, has invited President Rodrigo Duterte to be its commencement speaker on

June 25, 2017, but has not yet received a reply. He said that it is also a tradition in

the University to confer honorary doctorate degrees on the President, Senate

President, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

• In response to Regent Arinto on the process for the grant of honorary degrees,

President Concepcion referred to the power of the Board under the UP Charter to

confer honorary degrees in recognition of learning …xxx… upon recommendation of

a committee created by the President of the University, provided that such degree

shall not be conferred in consideration of any payment, gift or other valuable

consideration. The Board has however before opined that the creation of a committee

is optional, not mandatory, as the final decision in any case rests on the Board of

Regents.

• President Concepcion said that he will nevertheless create a committee in accordance

with the Charter.

• In line with tradition further, President Concepcion proposed that the Senate President

Aquilino L. Pimentel III likewise be conferred an honorary Doctor of Laws degree,

subject to the recommendation of the committee to be created for the purpose.

• Upon the suggestion of Regent Manuel with regard to procedure, Chair Licuanan

confirmed that the recommendation of the committee will still go to the Board for its

approval.

3. Request of President Danilo L. Concepcion for authority for the following:

a. To engage in limited practice of profession to allow him to finish and wind-up pending

rehabilitation/liquidation proceedings of corporations for which he is the court-

appointed receiver or liquidator; and for this authority to engage in limited practice of

profession to be extended to the other members of the BOR in respect of their

individual professions;

b. To continue serving as member of the Board of Regents of the Pamantasan ng

Lungsod ng Valenzuela representing the residents of the City of Valenzuela; and,

c. To continue serving as elected Governor of the Philippine Red Cross.

4. Updates on the (a) adjustment in the hazard pay of public health workers of the UPLB

University Health Service; and, (b) release of the Annual Incentive Grant (AIG) for FY

2017 for qualified faculty and staff

• As the hazard pay of public health workers has been approved by the Board for UP

PGH and UP Manila employees, Regent Mejia said that employees of UP Diliman

and UP Los Baños University Health Services are asking if there is a similar Board

approval for them. President Concepcion said that he will look into the request once

it reaches his office.

• On the release of the Annual Incentive Grant in the amount of PhP 6,350.00 under the

Collective Negotiating Agreement (CNA), Regent Mejia asked why the request is still

pending with the Office of the Vice President for Planning and Finance when there is

already a BOR approval for the said benefit. President Concepcion took the

responsibility of implementing the BOR resolution.
