The PRMSU Masinloc Campus conveys its sincere appreciation to Dr. Roy N. Villalobos, University President of President Ramon Magsaysay State University (PRMSU), for his steadfast support and encouragement. Dr. Villalobos underscored that these initial collaborative efforts are instrumental in positioning PRMSU as a leading institution in forging strategic academic partnerships and in advancing the universityโs commitment to excellence through meaningful external linkages.
Guided by this vision, representatives from PRMSU Masinloc Campus conducted a formal courtesy visit to the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Main Campus in Sta. Mesa, Manila. The visit served as a significant step toward establishing a comprehensive partnership focused on accreditation initiatives, research collaboration, and faculty development.
The delegation was cordially received by distinguished officials of the โNational Polytechnic University,โ including Dr. Manuel M. Muhi, D.Tech., ASEAN Engr., University President, and Dr. Anna Ruby P. Gapasin, DEM, Vice President for Research, Extension, and Development. Discussions centered on prospective engagements with the College of Education, led by Dean Rosemariebeth R. Dizon, DEM, particularly in enhancing teacher education programs and curriculum advancement.
A key component of the visit involved scholarly publication initiatives with Mrs. Jacquiline S. Tychuaco, LPT, MSc, Chief of the Journal Management Section and Managing Editor of the PUP Journal of Science and Technology. Both institutions expressed interest in strengthening research dissemination through collaborative peer review, editorial support, and the enhancement of institutional publications.
While brief, the engagement effectively laid the groundwork for the development of formal agreements and long-term academic cooperation. Both PRMSU and PUP affirmed their shared commitment to fostering academic growth and institutional excellence. As PRMSU Masinloc continues to broaden its horizons, this emerging partnership reflects its dedication to providing high-quality, globally competitive education through sustained collaboration and shared best practices.
