This descriptive research is all about the profile of SUCs in Bicol Region, Philippines in terms
of budget, program offerings, enrolment, and faculty and non-teaching personnel. The data were sourced from
the 2016 budget preparation for SUCs in Region V through documentary analysis. Said document was utilized
and analyzed vis-à-vis compared to each SUC operating in Bicol Region for the purpose of improving its
mandate and service delivery towards providing quality education for Bicolanos. Results of analysis revealed
that the national government increased the capital investment to Bicol SUCs. There are nine SUCs in Region
V composed of four state universities and five state colleges. These SUCs have varying amounts of budget
which offer 293 curricular programs, 89 programs in the graduate school and 204 programs in the
undergraduate and accepted a total of 75,257 enrollees for SY 2016-2017. The Bicol SUCs are embarking on
3,201 faculty and personnel to deliver the needed quality service required to answer the demand of the labor
market. With these findings, the study recommends that existing policies of the SUCs be made common so that
quality output would become a standard mantra towards improving quality and excellence.

Financing of Physical Facilities in Public Secondary Schools an Investigation...paperpublications3
Abstract: The general objective of this study was to investigate the role played by CDF in funding public secondary schools’ physical projects within Lugari Constituency. Specific objectives of the study were: to determine the effect of CDF funding on physical projects; to establish the role of the school administrators on CDF funded projects; and to establish the challenges facing implementation of projects. Literature review focused on an overview of the CDF program. The study used a descriptive survey design. The study targeted 46 schools. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select 14 schools to participate in the study, representing a sample of 30.43 percent. Questionnaires were used for data collection. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The study established that CDF led to a marginal increase of facilities in schools. The study revealed that principals had attended workshops, which enabled them to be involved in project implementation. Interference from politicians was the main challenge in implementation of the CDF-funded projects. The study recommends that: all schools should be given an equal chance to CDF funds; CDF team should sensitize the community on CDF funding; further CDF funding should not be politicized.
Evaluation of the Management and Utilization of Consitituency Development Fun...iosrjce
The contribution of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) on the development of education sector
in Kenya since its inception in the year 2003 has been critical. Some studies have shown that like any other
devolved funds, CDF implementation has faced challenges in its allocation criteria, problem of equity and
influence by politicians in its allocation and disbursement. Consequently there is need to assess the awareness
and knowledge of the CDF contribution to education development. These factors inhibit the funds effectiveness
in achieving its set objectives. The purpose of this study therefore, was to evaluate the management and
utilization of Constituency Development Fund on education development in Gem constituency, Siaya District. A
survey research design was adopted for the study since one of its merits is that it aids the researcher in
collecting original data for the purposes of describing a population which is too large to observe directly. The
study target population comprised of 37,468 households, 9 chiefs, 15 CDF committee members, 125
headteachers and the District Development Officer (DDO). The study adopted multi-stage sampling technique.
At stage one; the population was stratified into heads of households, head teachers, CDF committee members,
chiefs and DDO. In stage two, a sample of 384 households was obtained at 95% level of statistical significance
using the formula n=Z2
pq/d2
. The third stage involved selection of 48 households from each of the eight Kenya
National Bureau of Statistics sampling frame using systematic sampling technique. At stage four, saturated
sampling technique was adopted to select the CDF committee members, chiefs, DDO and the headteachers
while purposive sampling technique was adopted to pick these respondents. Data were collected through
interview schedules, key informant interviews, questionnaires and photography. The data analysis was done
using SPSS and Excel computer packages. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data so as to
enhance clarity and ease understanding of the information. Pie charts, bar, column, line graphs and tables were
used to present analysed information on various aspects of CDF.
Picking up from the previous budget, Budget 2013/14 will play a big role in laying a firm foundation to usher in the devolved system of government. The environment for budget formulation and prudent financial management at the national and county government level is now set, given the passing of requisite legislation, including the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and the launch of the second strategy for Public Finance Management Reforms in early 2013. Given this state of play one can interrogate the budget process using the PFM, Act 2012 as a benchmark. The three arms of government managed to submit their expenditure estimates to the National Assembly by 30th April. Equally commendable is the fact that for the very first time, the National Government adopted Programme based budgeting (PBB) to present its expenditure estimates in line with PFM reforms.
Budget for Children (BfC) is an important document which undertakes a critical analysis of the state budget in the context of the needs of the children of the state. For this, those schemes from the State Annual Budget which are directly related to the benefi t of children are selected and segregated. An effort is made to review how far the Government has kept the promises and commitments it has made to protect the rights of children.
The honourable Chief Minister of Assam, Mr. Tarun Gogoi presented ` 265.32 crore defi cit budget for the fi nancial year 2015-16 in the state assembly on March 10, 2015. What is signifi cant is the concern voiced by him regarding the Union Government’s announcement on fi scal devolution and the impact it will have on the budget in the state.

There are over 40 crore children (0-18 years) in India—more than 40 per cent of the country’s population. Of these 19 crore are between 6-14 years. They are all our young citizens. Needless to say, development programmes that are meant for the society as a whole are also going to benefit children, as they will to all other sections of society. However, from time-to-time the government makes special commitments to children. Budget analysis enables us to assess how far the policy and programme commitments made specifically to children and the goals set for them by the government are translated into financial commitments. Indeed, are we putting our money where our mouth is? After all the budget of any country is a reflection of its political and economic priorities.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority - Adult Education Budget Strategy V2 August...The Pathway Group
In March 2020, West Yorkshire agreed an ambitious devolution deal with the Government, which will see our region have a directly-elected mayor from May 2021.
The agreement, which is the biggest ever of its kind, unlocks more than £1.8 billion in investment to drive up living standards through better transport, improved skills and stronger businesses, while tackling the climate emergency. This means that West Yorkshire will have control of the £63m annual Adult Education Budget (AEB) for the area enabling us to align spending on skills more closely with the opportunities and needs in the local economy.
The main purpose of the AEB is to provide adults with the skills needed for entering and sustaining employment, an apprenticeship, a traineeship, or other further learning. The funding pays specifically for learning programmes (predominantly qualifications) and provides an element of learner support funding for those with learning difficulties and disabilities.
The AEB Strategy has been developed in order to ensure that we are ready to deliver the Adult Education Budget by 1 August 2021. The plan builds on our existing strategies and the needs of our area, providing a clear foundation upon which we can build the skills of people and businesses within West Yorkshire. The timescales set out by the Government mean that it is necessary to develop the plan prior to the election of the West Yorkshire Mayor.

This paper concerns a new kind of fractional q-differential equation of arbitrary order by
combining a multi-point boundary condition with an integral boundary condition. By solving the equation which
is equivalent to the problem we are going to investigate, the Green’s functions are obtained. By defining a
continuous operator on a Banach space and taking advantage of the cone theory and some fixed-point theorems,
the existence of multiple positive solutions for the BVPs is proved based on some properties of Green’s functions
and under the circumstance that the continuous functions f satisfy certain hypothesis. Finally, examples are
provided to illustrate the results.
A study on financial aspect of supply chain managementIJRTEMJOURNAL
The more common approaches used in the SCM consider only the physical logistic operations
and ignore the financial aspects of the supply chain. The main objective to incorporate financial aspects in
supply chain management is to strengthen managerial decisions concerning financial flows in supply chains,
while empirical knowledge about financial supply chain management (FSCM) is in its early stages. This paper
presents a model for FSCM which financial planning in addition to operation planning is decided in it. The
main contribution of this paper is to define two approaches for Financial Supply Chain Management and to
compare them. This financial approaches are: Traditional financial approach and new financial approach.
Traditional financial approach integrates physical goods flows and financial flows. New financial approach
considers in making decisions other financial indicators such as market to book value, liquidity ratios, capital
structure ratios, and return on equity, sales margin, turnover ratios and stock security ratios, among others.
Moreover, the new approach applies the change in equity instead of the traditional approach measures of profit
as the objective function to be maximized in the presented model. To show the attributes of the presented
approaches, the results of the new approach and the traditional approach is compared. The findings indicate
that the traditional approach leads to lower change in equity compared to the financial approach. Also, the
results clearly reveal the better improvement of using the new approach over the traditional approach, and
convince the decision makers to take advantage of the new approach.
Rural Livelihood and Food Security: Insights from Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari Di...IJRTEMJOURNAL
Food security is the foremost need of every human society. It is a fundamental right and
government responsibility but still food insecurity is prevalent in rural areas of least developed nations. To cope
with food insecurity, undertaking diverse income generating activities is common as well as key strategy adopted
by rural people. The objective of this study is to assess rural livelihood and food security status of a remote island
named Srilanka Tapu of Sunsari district. A random sampling technique was used to collect primary data from 40
rural household heads using semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive methods were used for analyzing. The
findings revealed that the food security situation of the Tapu is insecure. Most basic infrastructures and social
services needed for people livelihood such as road, electricity sufficient food availability, education, healthcare,
sanitation, etc. were found to be extremely poor. Most of the households are small scale farmers involving
themselves in diverse livelihood activities which are mostly temporary, low-skilled and low paying. However,
people are fulfilling their food needs at every cost but are highly vulnerable to food insecurity. Also, their lives
security is equally vulnerable because of disastrous Koshi River flooding which occurs every year in the Tapu.
The findings therefore critically suggest that food security of remote and vulnerable human settlements should be
at top priority in policy formulation and implementation level. The study also recommends a need for an in-depth
research for making evidence based policy interventions for improvement of diversify rural livelihood along with
sustainable environment
With mounting concerns over the state of our planet, there is continuing demand that chemists
and chemical engineers should develop greener chemical processes and products. In the 1990s, with the
growing awareness of the hazardous impacts of the chemical industry, the green chemistry revolution was
launched by American chemists Paul T. Anastas and John Warner. Green chemistry is the kind of chemistry that
seeks to minimize pollution, conserve energy, and promote environmentally friendly production. This paper
provides a brief introduction to green chemistry.
Assessment of Building Failure: The Case of Saint Thomas’s Anglican Church, A...IJRTEMJOURNAL
There have been incessant reports of the collapse of buildings resulting in the loss of lives and
properties globally. However, there has been a dearth of information regarding any findings about the collapse
of building structures. An extensive study of causes of selected building collapse in Nigeria and abroad is carried
out in this work by visiting some locations of building collapse, reading journals and newspaper articles on
structural defects and testing rubbles collected from collapsed areas. This study therefore examined the general
causes of the collapse of some buildings particularly the reasons for the collapse of Saint Thomas’s 2-storey
Church Hall, Akure. Laboratory testing was carried out in this study to investigate the causes of collapse using
samples from the site of the collapsed building. An appraisal of the structural drawings of the collapsed building
was also investigated. Findings revealed that the building collapsed due to poor design, bad construction
materials and inadequate supervision. The paper concludes that buildings collapse can be reduced in Nigeria by
avoiding all. It recommended use of only duly registered professionals in the building industry for construction.

Resource recycling and waste-to-energy: The cornerstones of circular economyIJRTEMJOURNAL
"Circular Economy" is the pursued goal of sustainable development of mankind for the 21st
century. In short, the fundamental spirit of circular economy is the concept of "Zero Waste". The example used
in our daily lives means 100% of waste treatment, leaving no trace. At this time, it would be an ideal goal that
the waste could be fully recovered into available raw materials or energies. In particular, "waste-to-energy" is
a key factor, because all the wastes are almost related to energy. Resource recycling of waste metal from the
household garbage is the best example. When smelting metals, the refining industry needs to reduce the metal
oxides (mineral materials) to metals, such as steel, aluminium, copper, etc. The reduction processes consume
considerable portion of energy for the entire smelting process, for example, 70.6% for steel and 77.4% for
aluminium. However, if the waste metallic products can be fully recovered, as long as by melting and reshaping,
the original oxide metal reduction processes that consume a lot of energy can be avoided. On the other hand,
when the general garbage cannot be recovered as a resource, they can be converted into fuel or electricity by
biological or thermal treatment. Another more important human waste utilization is the waste paper recycling.
The production of one tonne of raw pulp emits about 6 tonnes of carbon, consuming about 100 cubic meters of
water, using about 200 kilograms of chemical raw materials, and draining 300 tonnes of toxic waste water. The
entire papermaking process is how terrible environmental pollution! The recycled pulp of one tonne can save
energy 10-13GJ.The proportion of paper waste in Taiwan 2015 is 34.69% and the estimated amount is 2.5
million tonnes. If the paper waste could be fully recycled, it could save energy about 0.725 million kloe (kilolitre oil equivalent). In other words, it virtually reduces Taiwan's oil imports of 4.56 million barrels and CO2
emissions of 2.5 million tonnes annually.
Survivin Immunoreactivity in the Gastric Mucosa of Rats Feedind with Carpet S...IJRTEMJOURNAL
Survivin has been studied many times because of its overexpression in several types of cancer
including lung, kidney, skin, endometrium, stomach, colon, breast, prostate, over, hematologic, head and neck
cancers, histopathology features and polymorphisms in the promoter region which belongs to the inhibitör of
apoptosis gene family by researchers. There is no study of survivin immunoreactivity in the gastric mucosa of the
rats fed with carpet shell clam grown in the Dardanelles. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of
carpet shell clam fed rats on survivin production in the gastric mucosa. The carpet shell clam given as food to the
rats were removed from the Dardanelles Çardak region. Four groups of rats are included in the study, group 1
(n=6), control group fed with standard rat food, group 2 (n=6), 75% carpet shell clam and 25% standard rat
food daily, group 3 (n=6), 75% carpet shell clam and 25% standard rat food every two days, group 4 (n=6), 75%
carpet shell clam and 25% standard rat food every three days. To detect survivin localization in the tissues, the
LAB-SA Detection System was used. Survivin immunoreactivity was detected of epithelial cells in the gastric
mucosa of rats fed with carpet shell clam. After the immunohistochemical staining processing all gastric tissue
samples are evaluated in terms of survivin immunoreactivity with light microscopy and image analysis software.
Survivin immunoreactivity was detected 0% in the first group, 83.33% in the second group, 61.83% in the third
group and 32.67% in the fourth group. There was statistically significant difference between the survivin
immunoreactivity in the gastric gland cells of the rats in the experimental and control groups (p> 0.05). Survivin
production in the gastric mucosa of rats suggests that consumption of carpet shell clam may cause tissue damage.
Security and Crime Management in University Libraries in NigeriaIJRTEMJOURNAL
Security and prevention of crime in university library is very paramount duties of librarian. The
survival of a library depends to a large extend on how secured its collections are, security of library resources
constitutes serious challenge facing university libraries in Nigeria. The paper, therefore, investigates security and
crime management in university libraries in Nigeria using university of Jos and university of Ilorin libraries. The
study adopted a descriptive survey method. The population of the study comprised 108 library personnel and
16,012 registered library users in two university libraries. While the sample size consisted of all the 108 library
personnel, and 2% of the registered users to make a total of 428 respondents. Questionnaire and interview with
the university librarians of the selected university libraries were the instruments used for data collection. Data
were analysed using frequency distribution and percentages. Results revealed that security breaches included
stealing/theft of library materials, mutilation of library materials, and non-return of borrowed items. It also
showed inadequate funding, selfish interest of the culprits and lack of institutional security policy in the library.
Base on the findings, that staff security training, electronic security system should be introduced and improve
funding of university libraries among others. Recommendation orientation of users and staff should be done from
time to time in university libraries to mention but few.
Influence of heat treatment on Vitamin C Levels in Oyster MushroomIJRTEMJOURNAL
The study was conducted to investigate the influence of heat treatment during drying process of
Oyster mushroom in the tropics. Mushroom growing is carried out under carefully controlled conditions mostly
in bulk in specific designed tunnels with aerated floors. There are two main purposes, firstly pasteurization; to
free the compost from undesirable microbes and pests and secondly conditioning; to become mushroom specific
by getting clear of ammonia and free of readily available carbohydrates. Through proper manipulation of
temperature and ventilation these two primary objectives are accomplished. Mushrooms have been identified as
an underutilized crop in Africa, with many nutritive and health benefits. It does not require much land and
investment. However, it is highly perishable and there is need to process it to lengthen its shelf life by drying.
However, there is need to ensure that the nutrients are not lost in the process. It is for this reason that this
project investigated the effect of drying on nutrient levels in mushroom. Vitamin C levels were monitored in the
course of drying at 80⁰C, 60⁰C, 50⁰C, 40⁰C and in direct sunlight. It was concluded that the temperature that
gave the best drying rate with minimal nutrient loss was 60⁰C. In general, more than half the Vitamin C is lost
during the range of drying temperatures investigated.
Optimization of Design Parameters for Crane Hook Using Finite Element AnalysisIJRTEMJOURNAL
The Crane hooks are very at risk segments that are regularly utilized for mechanical purposes.
In this way such segments in an industry must be produced and composed in an approach to convey most extreme
execution without failure. Failure of a crane hook essentially relies upon three central point i.e. measurement,
material, overload. The undertaking is worried towards expanding the safe load by fluctuating the cross-sectional
measurements of the four distinct segments and diverse materials. The chose areas are square, circle, and
trapezoidal. The territory stays consistent while changing the measurements of the four unique segments. The
crane hook is demonstrated utilizing catia programming. The pressure and life investigation is finished utilizing
ANSYS 18.1 workbench. The ordinary worry along add up to misshaping, stress and life’s according to the
materials considered. It is discovered that trapezoidal cross segment yields most extreme load of 4000 KG to 5000
KG for steady cross segment zone among four cross segment.

This study is part of a macroeconomic approach and seeks to identify the role of the rate of
economic growth and the exchange rate in controlling the macroeconomic framework. The approaches adopted
in this paper are part of Keynesian thinking on macroeconomic stability using the macroeconomic stability
index proposed by Burnside and Dollars (2004) and A. Amine (2005). Our results argue that economic growth
is causing macroeconomic stability and that the exchange rate is negatively and significantly accounting for
macroeconomic stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Reserves Estimating Carbon in Forest City District Village Bongohulawa GorontaloIJRTEMJOURNAL
The estimation of Carbon stock and carbon sink in the City Forest of Bongohulawa village,
Regency of Gorontalo (Guided by. The research was aimed to know volume growth of trees planted in the
Village District Bongohulawa Gorontalo, to calculate the volume and content of carbon biomass in the city
forest and green line (left-right path) and average carbon sequestration/tree/species. Research was conducted
in village of Bongohulawa during 4 (fourth) month; started from March until June 2011. The execution of data
collecting [of] was performed within this research area-location through observation and measurement of trees
and forest stand. For green line research area 100% inventory was upllied and for City Forest line plot
sampling was implemented. For city forest sample plots measurement was conducted in 10 sample units (each
unit sampling of 0.25 ha). Tree diameter, tree hight (total and commercial hight) and crown diameter of all tree
species within research line (green line) and research plots (city forest) was measured. Based on the research
data and its calculation, the results show that: Casuarina junghuhiana can store more carbon than other tree
species. From the inventory conducted in 3 km of green line along the road (6 meters width observations) of the
village Bongohulawa, 366 trees (consist of 7 tree species) were measured. Those tree species namely Casuarina
junghuiana 102 trees, sandalwood 46 trees, mango 7 trees, jackfruit 6 trees, Albizia 1 tree, mahogany 202 trees,
headland 2 trees. Crown cover of those tree species is 3032.54 m2

Translation Errors of Public Signs in English Subtitle: Residents’ Poor Forei...IJRTEMJOURNAL
China is in an Age of Economy Thriving and Technology Advancing. This strike
increasing international visitors. In the foreigners, very few of them are able to communicate in
Chinese, which means that it is significant to provide accurate information to the foreign friends by
their understandable codes. For instance, in a hotel, a foreigner needs to know which way to go for
their daily activities without enquiring at the reception desk. These requirements are served by public
signs, e.g. the location of a canteen. Actually, this service is a challenge of Chinese people’s English
level. In recent years, as a lack of contextually linguistic and cultural knowledge, there are some
errors of translation on public English signs, resulting in some inconvenience to the oversea
travelers. This paper will analyses these problems in root and then advance prospective resolutions.
What are the determinants of the non-reimbursement for SMEs in Central Africa...IJRTEMJOURNAL
This article aims to determine the factors that are the cause of the non-repayment of credits
received from financial institutions by Cameroonian SMEs. This choice is sometimes. This non-repayment is
often caused by factors related to the environment and the functioning of SMEs. It aims to analyze and highlight
the factors that put Cameroonian SMEs in a situation of inability to repay the receivables received from
financial institutions. To achieve this goal, we opted for a mixed approach: Inductive (exploration on the
ground) and hypothetico deductive. To do this, we first analyzed the content of the interviews conducted with 15
SME managers and owners and tested data collected from a questionnaire administered face-to-face with 185
Cameroonian SMEs. . We used descriptive analysis and explanatory analysis. Our results show that the tax rate,
the mismanagement of managers, poor accounting and unforeseen situations have a significant positive
influence on the non-repayment of loans, while the age and size of SMEs exert significant negative influence on
the non-repayment of loans by Cameroonian SMEs.
Multivariate regression methods with infrared spectroscopy to detect the fals...IJRTEMJOURNAL
Recently, food safety and guaranteed of food marks have become more important subjects of
foodstuff production and the marketing of processed foods. This paper demonstrates the ability of Mid Infrared
spectroscopy coupled with multivariate regression tools to detect vegetable butter (as adulterant) in a binary
mixture with traditional cow’s butter. Blends of traditional cow’s butter with different percentages of vegetable
butter were measured using Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Mid Infrared Spectroscopy (ATRFTMIR). Spectral and reference data were firstly analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) to check
outliers samples; and improve the robustness of the prediction models to be established. Multivariate regression
methods as Principal component regression (PCR) and Partial least square regression (PLSR) were used to
establish calibration model. Excellent correlation between ATR-FTMIR analysis and studied butter blends was
obtained R2 = 0.99; with Root Mean Square Errors of Prediction < 3.04, Limit of Detection 9.12% (By PCR)
and 6.06% (by PLSR), and Relative Prediction Errors as low as 3.13.

ABSTRACT: This descriptive research is all about the profile of SUCs in Bicol Region, Philippines in terms
of budget, program offerings, enrolment, and faculty and non-teaching personnel. The data were sourced from
the 2016 budget preparation for SUCs in Region V through documentary analysis. Said document was utilized
and analyzed vis-à-vis compared to each SUC operating in Bicol Region for the purpose of improving its
mandate and service delivery towards providing quality education for Bicolanos. Results of analysis revealed
that the national government increased the capital investment to Bicol SUCs. There are nine SUCs in Region
V composed of four state universities and five state colleges. These SUCs have varying amounts of budget
which offer 293 curricular programs, 89 programs in the graduate school and 204 programs in the
undergraduate and accepted a total of 75,257 enrollees for SY 2016-2017. The Bicol SUCs are embarking on
3,201 faculty and personnel to deliver the needed quality service required to answer the demand of the labor
market. With these findings, the study recommends that existing policies of the SUCs be made common so that
quality output would become a standard mantra towards improving quality and excellence.
KEYWORDS: Budget Preparation, Bicol Region, State Universities and Colleges, Policy Recommendation,

I INTRODUCTION
Bicol Region, more popularly known as Region V, is situated at the southernmost tip of the Luzon landmass.
It is straddled between 11o
-30’ to 14o
-20’ North latitude and 122o
-20’ to 124o
-30’ East longitude. The Region
has a total land area of roughly 18,139.08 square kilometers, 6.0 percent of the country's total land area. It is
politically subdivided into six provinces, one chartered city, six component cities, 107 municipalities, and
3,471 barangays. The population of the Bicol Region reached 5,420,411 as of May 1, 2010, growing at an
average annual rate of 1.46 percent between 2000 and 2010. The region's population density increased to
298.8 persons per square kilometer in 2010. Hospitable, smiling and fun-loving people inhabit a region rich in
history and natural resources, Bicol. (Philippine Statistics Authority)
Bicol Region is fourth among the eighteen Regions that have a state-run higher education institution with nine
(9) State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) operating in the entire area. Four of these SUCs are located in the
province of Camarines Sur and one each operating in the provinces of Camarines Norte, Albay, Catanduanes,
Masbate and Sorsogon. Higher education institution (HEI) has a big role to play most specially in the National
Development Plan and this was clearly articulated in the Regional Development Goal that envisioned Bicol to
be the most livable region in the country. To accomplish such, the regional development outcome embarks to
have majority of the population in the region, particularly the poor and marginalized, enjoy the benefits of
social development and economic growth, and one of the sub-sector outcomes is for the education sector to
provide adequate and quality education services and that the same are availed by more people, (Bicol Region
Development Plan 2011-2016).Facing a big challenge to obtain the expected outcome which is to enhance the
education and skills of the labor force as one of the green areas to spur economic growth, higher educational
sector more particularly the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) as government funded institution have to
show to the community the impact of their existence. This is where the researchers completed the idea of
looking into the comparative data of Bicol SUCs – provide an analysis to serve as basis in formulating policy
to better improve the delivery of services to the public specifically in answering the challenge to realize the
expected sector outcome in the regional development goal.
II OBJECTIVES
The study determined the profile of SUCs in Region V along its budget, enrollment, faculty and non-teaching
personnel, and program offerings and makes a comparative data analysis in order to serve as basis in
formulating policy to answer the educational needs of the region vis a vis to improve the service delivery to
the general public. Certain sets of policy shall be proposed based on the analysis.

III METHODOLOGY
The researcher utilized descriptive research method in determining the profile of the Bicol SUCs, and the
primary sources of data were supplied from the submitted documents of the nine (9) budget officers of Bicol
SUCs during the preparation and consolidation of Regional SUCs FY 2016 budget. The secondary data came
from CHED, NEDA and DOLE Regional office purposely gathered for this research. During the Budget
consolidation conducted at Sorsogon State College, the researchers asked permission from the Bicol SUC
respective budget officer to use the documents submitted for this particular study, and with forbearance from
their head the authority was granted, hence data available was utilized for the purpose. To ascertain
correctness of the data at hand, the researchers made a personal validation to the concerned personnel of the
Sorsogon State College who served as the consolidator of the Bicol SUCs Budget for 2016. Clarification of
vague entries in the documents was personally verified by the researchers from the Budget Officers of other
SUCs in the Region. The data gathered was carefully analyzed in coming up with the findings of this research.
IV RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Profile of Bicol SUCs: The SUCs in Bicol Region totaled to Nine (9) composed of four (4) Universities
namely; Bicol University, Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, Partido State University and
Catanduanes State University, and five (5) Colleges namely; Bicol State College of Applied Science and
Technology, Camarines Norte State College, Camarines Sur Polytechnic College, DEBESMSCAT (Masbate),
and Sorsogon State College. Hereunder are the results and discussions pertaining to the profiles of these nine
SUCs in terms of budget, enrollment, personnel and curricular offerings. I) Budget: Table 1 illustrates the
comparative budget allocation as well as disbursement of the nine SUCs from FY 2014 to FY 2016. Results
revealed that for the past three years generally SUCs V budget has an increasing trend of allocation for
Personnel Services (PS), Maintenance and Other Operating Services (MOOE), and Capital Outlay (CO). It
was note worthy to make an emphasis of the escalation of the budget allocation for Capital Outlay for FY
2015. All of Bicol SUCs have an almost doubled increase from the allocation received in CO for FY 2014.
Catanduanes State University and DEBESMSCAT had the highest increase with 988% from 3.957 million to
39.088 million and 829.79% from 2.709 million to 22.479 million respectively. Bicol University, which is
considered as the leading HEI in the region, received only a 54.68% rise in CO for 2015. The rest of the SUCs
received more than double for 2015 Capital Outlay. The increases are as follows; for BISCAST – 173.75%,
CNSC – 175.77%, CSPC – 106%, CBSUA – 64%, PSU – 89.05%, and SSC – 190.81%.
This upturn in the Capital Outlay budget in Bicol SUCs can be attributed to the Supreme Court decision on the
legality of the implementation of Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). To underscore the concept
of PDAF in 2010 budget implementation, an express statement on lump sum amounts were allocated for
individual legislators and the Vice-President. Representatives were given P70 Million each, broken down into
P40 Million for "hard projects" and P30 Million for "soft projects"; while P200 Million was given to each
Senator as well as the Vice-President, with a P100 Million allocation each for "hard" and "soft projects."
Relatively, bulk of the budget purposely for the construction and improvements of the agency’s physical
development was at the disposal of the country’s member of legislative department. Agencies like SUCs have
to lobby with congressmen and senators for congressional insertion to fund construction and improvement of
facilities. It started only in 2013 where SUCs are allocated funding under Capital Outlay, the year when the
Supreme Court decided under GR. Nos. 208566, 2084936 & 209251 declaring the PDAF implementation
scheme unconstitutional. In 2014, SUCs in Bicol Region received a decent amount for their Capital Outlay
projects and it doubled in 2015.
It could also be observed in table 1 and table 1.a the increasing budget allocation for Bicol SUCs both in PS
and MOOE. This is being so since the supposed PDAF fund was redirected to form part of the budget of every
government agency and recognizing the role of HEIs along the country’s goals of inclusive growth, SUCs
budget on MOOE started to increase. Majority of the MOOE budget of the Bicol SUCs are for scholarship
program. As to PS component, the increase in the Bicol SUCs budget was due to full implementation of
National Budget Circular 461, a scheme of upgrading the positions of faculty in SUCs through evaluation
instrument anchored on NBC 461.
In FY 2016 budget allocation for Bicol SUCs, it can be gleaned that out of nine (9) SUCs, five (5) of them had
a budget cutback in the MOOE and four (4) had also lowered the CO budget. The decrease in the allocation
for 2016 budget was due to the scheme enforced by Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and
Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The DBM is implementing the absorptive capacity of a certain
SUC to implement its programs and projects.

The lower budget utilization rate will definitely affect the budget allocation for the ensuing years. This system
was anchored on the national budget reform agenda “PAGGUGOL NA PATUWID”. This has been articulated
in investing the right priorities and delivering fast and measurable results, (DBM 2016 People’s Budget).
Hence, increase of budget for an agency depends on the absorptive capacity – meaning acting fast but efficient
in spending the funds. Likewise, along this line, CHED has intensified the Normative Financing Scheme that
determines the budget allocation per State College and University. On this scheme, the increase and decrease
of SUC budget allocation depends of the performance output of SUC evaluated based on the given criteria.
A budget is a statement of an organization’s plans, priorities, goals, and objectives, expressed in financial
terms, for a specific period of time, Gibson (2009). Without this financial plan, an organization specifically
SUC for that matter cannot realize its vision, mission and goals hence will definitely affect the entire operation
of the organization. Assessing the implication of decreasing budget in SUC is material in the delivery of
quality education to the community. The downturn of SUC budget would also mean that the operational
expenses of the SUC will depend much on the internally generated income. Established SUCs with viable IGP
who are earning decent income out of the project will not be affected much, but small SUCs with lesser IGP
will resort in passing the burden to students. Increase in fees will be one of the options to spur development in
SUC most especially in establishing laboratory equipment and support system to students. This will again be a
load to parents, although scholarship programs are available.
Likewise, the SUCs will be hard up in providing benefits to the employees. Policy standard on granting
monetary benefits depends on the savings generated by SUC on the identified items of expenditure under
MOOE. The maintenance as well as building and acquisition of new instructional materials and equipment
will also be affected. SUC will be outdated on the technological advancement that is in a very fast-paced stage
and finally quality instruction will be compromised. It needs investment to achievement quality education. The
Philippine government has responded on this issue, since the start of 2014, the national government has
increased its funding to SUCs particularly in the Capital Outlay projects. The increase in budget of the Bicol
SUCs from 2014 to 2016 has brought significance improvements most especially in the physical development
aspect and the following projects had been accomplished: for Bicol University; food innovation and
commercial center, multi-techno laboratory, improvement of sports complex, medical equipment, school
buildings, rehabilitation of multi-purpose bldg., student union center, coconut project equipment, Regional
information knowledge center and student dormitory. For BISCAST; mechatronic laboratory, technical &
scientific equipment, two-storey academic bldg., learning innovation & entrepreneurial bldg., and
rehabilitation of academic building.
For CNSC; student pavilion, repair of vocational agriculture bldg., engineering building, two-storey building
(Abano Campus), repair of College building (Labo Campus), 14 classrooms academic building (Main), six
classrooms agri-business building (Entienza Campus). For CSPC; expansion of library building, completion of
covered court, purchase of instruction and laboratory facilities, repair of multi-purpose building, center for
innovation & technology department, three storey academic building, three storey multi-purpose building and
purchase of instructional and laboratory equipment. For CSU; information technology center, College of
Business Administration building, repair of industrial technology building, rehabilitation of covered court,
establishment of center climate change for the pacific island, sports & cultural center, and construction of
multi-purpose building. For CBSUA; Crop Science Building, Agri-ecotourism training resource center,
completion of HRM building, infirmary, classroom buildings, university library, rehabilitation of agro-soil
building, three storey administrative building, College aqua-culture, Agriculture & industrial technology
research development center, Animal based farming project, rehabilitation of academic building and
construction of multi-purpose building. For DEBESMSCAT; Upgrade of IT building, rehabilitation of food
laboratory building, Campus road network, ICT machinery, and Multi-purposed building. For PSU; Academic
& science laboratory building, Academic building with hostel and cafeteria, HRMT building, Ecology
building, Entrepreneurial building, rehabilitation of academic building and culture & arts center and natural
history museum. For SSC; E-library, Review center, Agri-fishery laboratory, Sports complex, Multi-purpose
building, Architectural building and completion of business and sports development facilities. These projects
were made to realize through the support of the national government but the amount given to each SUC varies
accordingly. Those SUCs that has the best absorptive capacity get the biggest share of the pie and those SUCs
with less absorptive capacity get less funding support.
Enrollment: Table 2 shows the enrolment of the nine SUCs in Bicol Region from SY 2014 to SY 2015 is on
the increasing trend but decreased abruptly in SY 2016 due to the implementation of K to 12. This scenario is
true to all SUCs throughout the country.
4. Profile of Bicol Sucs: Basis for Policy Recommendation
|Volume 2| Issue 7 | www.ijrtem.com | 46 |
The introduction of grade 11 & 12 made SUCs hanging for the freshmen enrolment for the said school year
since the high school graduates for SY 2015-2016 are required to enroll in the Junior High School or Grade
11. What was left for the HEIs are those students who graduated before the implementation of K to 12 wherein
as per policy is still allowed to go directly to College. But this decrease will become constant in the next three
years that covers the transition period for K to12 program implementation.
Giving the fact that quality of education in SUCs is already comparable, or even beyond to prominent private
HEIs in the country is one of the reasons why students even those coming from affluent family are seeking to
be part of the student force of an SUC. Not to mention that fees being collected by the Bicol SUCs are
relatively low compared to private schools. A big portion of the enrolment in the Region was being covered by
the Bicol SUCs. For CY 2016 the total enrolled students in Bicol SUCs numbered to 91,203 covering advance
education, tertiary and laboratory schools. For tertiary education the total enrollment of Bicol SUCs for CY
2015-2016 is 83,881. The responsibility of Bicol SUCs in answering for the educational needs of the Region is
very evident as the enrollment composed of almost 50% of the total enrolment of the Higher Educational
Institution in the Region. Comparatively speaking for CY 2015, the total enrollment of all private HEIs and
Local Universities and Colleges is 71,871 and 11,880 respectively (CHED Data), which is relatively even to
the total enrollment of Bicol SUCs.
This result only shows a bigger role of Bicol SUCs in the development of the region. Thus, it has to be given
attention by our political leaders the impact of SUCs in sustainable development of the locality. The data
presented gives the following indications. The bigger amount of enrollment in Bicol SUCs would mean a
bigger share in the labor market. Meaning more graduates from SUCs in the future will compose the
workforce of the different agencies or industries either in or outside of the country. The influx of students in
Bicol SUCs is also a testament of affordable education being offered, hence access to education as per
guaranteed by the constitution has been served.
Faculty and Non-Teaching Personnel: Table 3 illustrates the number of faculty and personnel of the nine
SUCs in the region. Bearing from the data, the present faculty complement of the Bicol SUCs pegged at 2,086
active permanent teaching force, and 1,112 permanent non-teaching staff that caters the support service
needed by the institutions. It gives a ratio of 1:2. Comparing it to the required faculty-student ratio per CHED
policy – the 1:40 faculty-student ratio for the entire Bicol SUCs is a little bit higher than the standard which is
1:30. The standard faculty-student ratio is critical in achieving quality education so much so that SUC has to
exhaust strategies and innovations to meet the required standard. As to support personnel, the standard ratio is
1:2 (One faculty to two non-teaching), and for the Bicol SUCs the ratio of faculty per non-teaching is 1:2
which is compliant to CHED standard. Non-teaching personnel cannot be set aside as they also perform vital
role in SUCs development by providing needed support services in carrying out the objectives of instruction,
research and extension.
Faculty is considered as the heart and soul of an educational institution. The students that SUC produce are
reflections of the quality of the faculty that they have. Faculty is likewise the foundation of student’s character,
skills and knowledge; therefore, they have to be capacitated if the government wanted to produce competitive
graduates that can answer the needs of the labor market, locally and internationally. The CHED Report for
CY 2013-2014 on the statistics on SUCs faculty shows that only 421 have their doctorate degree. Faculty in
SUC having a doctorate degree in line with their field of specialization is material in providing quality
instruction. Hence, SUCs now have to make the adjustment in creating their faculty and personnel
development program since the minimum educational qualification requirement to a faculty in SUC is
Master’s Degree in line with their field of specialization or if not at least Master’s Degree in the field
considered as allied to their specialization. This new qualification policy was enunciated in CSC-MC No. 22,
s. 2016. These findings imply that the greater the number of faculty and non-teaching personnel the better for
the Bicol SUCs as the standard ratio of faculty per student can be met accordingly. The sayings that you
cannot teach what you do not know must be a reflection to the educational qualification of the Bicol SUCs
faculty that continuing advance education and finishing the needed doctorate degree is a must.
Program Offerings: Reflected in table 4 are the curricular offerings of Bicol SUCs. All of them are offering
comprehensive programs, varied yet duplicative with each other. These SUCs offer a total of 293 curricular
programs, 89 programs in the graduate school and 204 programs in the undergraduate and makes a total of
75,257 enrollees for SY 2016-2017.Although it can be inferred from the name of SUC the supposed brand of
their curricular offerings and still it has an existing offering out of their respective niche. Common to all Bicol
SUCs is the offering of education but the one that has established quality per CHED requirements is Bicol
5. Profile of Bicol Sucs: Basis for Policy Recommendation

University being given the Center of Excellence (COE) status for its Education Program. Central Bicol State
University of Agriculture and Catanduanes State University were recognized only as Centers of Development
(COD). The duplications of curricular offerings can be advantageous primarily to students within the
community where SUC was established or in the area where they have external Campuses. But quality wise, it
besets difficulty in maintaining the standards required. In addition, the absence of a particular brand or niche is
a downside to establishing quality and excellence. Resources are being spread out that no concentration to a
particular program resulting to difficulty in achieving status of excellence.
Policy Recommendations: The findings of this study shall be utilized as bases to formulate a new or review
the existing policies of SUCs specifically along budget, enrolment, teaching and non-teaching personnel, and
program offerings. One innovation that can be introduced is the formulation of a special committee to work on
the uniform application of academic and administrative policies which can be applied and implemented to all
the SUCs in Bicol Region. Likewise, the herein findings shall be utilized in identifying the commonalities
among the policies and determine possible adoption by other SUCs within the Region to propel quality and
excellence.
V CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based from the above data and the following conclusions were drawn. The budget of Bicol SUCs is relatively
increasing although the rise is subject to performance guidelines. Half of the entire student population in the
Bicol Region comes from the State Universities and Colleges while the other half is distributed between the
private HEIs and local colleges. The number of permanent faculty of the Bicol SUCs is still wanting to serve
the educational needs of the region, although the non-teaching personnel are well balanced to cater for the
support services required. Bicol SUCs are offering comprehensive curricular programs. Teacher education is
being offered to all of the SUCs, It is recommended therefore that the national as well as local government has
to support the Bicol SUCs in financial as well as social programs to ensure its contribution to sustainable
development. Performance rating and absorptive capacity of SUC can serve as criterion in the decrease and
increase of budget allocation but it has to consider a constant budget especially for Capital Outlay to a small
SUC devoid of state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories. An intensified scholarship program by the
government and CHED should open more scholarship delivering institutions like private HEI’s to decongest
the SUCs from volumes of students and at least conform to the standard ratio. The SUCs may also exercise the
sharing of faculty experts to resolve the deficiency of faculty in a certain SUC. Likewise, scrap-and-build
scheme maybe strictly observed to create more Instructor positions resulting to an increase in faculty
complement without prejudice of reserving higher positions to entice outside experts to be part of the
academic staff. Each SUC may establish too its own brand where they can be known to local or international
academic community. And finally, existing operational policies of Bicol SUCs be reviewed and possibly set
standard guidelines for its common application to ensure quality and excellence.
