Serrano, Dean of the Faculty of Management and Development Studies (FMDS), Dr. Charisse Reyes, Dean of the Faculty of Education (FED), Ms. Vicki Canape-Belegal, Chief Administrative Officer of the Campus Development and Maintenance Office (CDMO), and other staff of the university.

In her address, Chancellor Bandalaria highlighted UPOU’s long-standing commitment to technological advancement. She expressed gratitude to the dedicated individuals who have contributed to the successful implementation of these new systems, emphasizing their potential to enhance efficiency and productivity.

The introduction of BULSA and PUSO signifies UPOU’s dedication to providing state-of-the-art tools and processes to its faculty, staff, and students. The university aims to elevate its academic and administrative operations by embracing digital transformation.
