Davao de Oro State College Montevista Branch recorded five commendations, 13 opportunities for improvement (OFIs), seven observations, and one minor nonconformance during the second Internal Quality Audit (IQA) for Calendar Year 2026 conducted online on September 17.

The audit covered 41 processes implemented by 24 process implementers. The commendations were received by process implementers from Top Management, the Health Services Unit, the Information and Communication Technology Unit, and the Bachelor of Secondary Education program.

The online audit was conducted in consideration of the branch’s work-from-home arrangement. It was facilitated by the DdOSC Quality Assurance Unit, with the IQA team led by Engr. Ian Dave P. Corteza.

The IQA is part of the College’s quality management system and supports the continuing implementation of ISO 9001:2015-aligned processes through the evaluation of documented information, records, and other evidence of process implementation.

Although the scope of DdOSC’s current ISO certification covers the Main Campus, internal quality audits are also conducted in the branches to sustain the implementation of the Quality Management System and strengthen the institution’s readiness for future recertification.

DdOSCians are advised to drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, limit strenuous outdoor activities, and stay in cool or well-ventilated areas whenever possible.
