DEBESMSCAT Conducts Comprehensive Mock Audit in Pursuit of ISO 9001:2015 Certification

October 14 to 15, 2025 – The Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) took another step toward ISO 9001:2015 certification through a two-day face-to-face mock audit conducted by ISO Consultant Engr. Helen A. Evalle, General Manager of HAE Consultancy and Training Services, on October 14–15, 2025.

The activity covered key institutional offices and services, including the Financial Management Services, Records and Archives Office, Management Information Services, Medical and Dental Services, General Library, Registrar, and Planning and Development Services. Each office underwent a comprehensive review of systems and procedures to ensure compliance with ISO quality standards.

Engr. Evalle also conducted coaching and mentoring sessions to guide process owners in refining their operations and documentation toward alignment with ISO requirements.

Vice President for Research, Development, Extension, Innovation, Creative Works, and Knowledge Management Dr. Rodolfo B. Burac Jr., who serves as ISO focal person, led the activity. Vice President for Administration and Finance Dr. Erwin H. Malto likewise joined the audit sessions in support of the institution’s quality management efforts.

The mock audit, spearheaded by the Office of Quality Assurance, follows an earlier online audit conducted in previous months involving top management and support services. It forms part of DEBESMSCAT’s ongoing initiatives to institutionalize quality assurance and continuous improvement under the leadership of President Dr. Arnel B. Millesca.

The two-day exercise marks a significant milestone in DEBESMSCAT’s pursuit of ISO 9001:2015 certification, aimed at strengthening operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with international quality management standards.

Message from the President

Ladies and gentlemen,

As the newly-installed SUC President of DEBESMSCAT, I am truly humbled and honored to assume this role. It is my goal in my 4-year term to share with you my vision and advocacy, which centers around the power of unity and collaboration, embodied by the acronym TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More.

Leadership, to me, is not about commanding from the top or solely relying on individual brilliance. It is about recognizing the immense potential within each member of our institution and harnessing that collective strength to achieve remarkable things. True leadership requires humility, the ability to listen, learn, and empower others.

As we embark on this journey together, my aim is to cultivate an environment where every member of DEBESMSCAT feels valued, respected, and inspired to contribute their best. Together, we can achieve more than any one person could on their own.

I firmly believe that by fostering a culture of teamwork, we can overcome challenges, spark innovation, and bring about transformative change. Each of us possesses unique talents and perspectives that, when combined, form a powerful force for progress. By embracing diversity, encouraging collaboration, and fostering open communication, we can create a vibrant community that thrives on shared achievements.

Furthermore, leadership with humility is at the core of my approach. I understand that my role as President is not one of authority, but rather one of service. I am here to support and uplift every member of the DEBESMSCAT family, working hand in hand to cultivate an environment that promotes personal growth, academic excellence, and holistic development.

In the spirit of humility, I am committed to listening to your ideas, concerns, and aspirations. Your voices matter, and I encourage each of you to actively engage in shaping our shared future. Together, we can explore new horizons, seize opportunities, and tackle the challenges that lie ahead.

Let us build bridges, not barriers. Let us strive for collaboration, not competition. Let us remember that the strength of our institution lies in the dedication, talent, and unity of its members.

I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for DEBESMSCAT. Together, we will create a legacy of academic excellence, community engagement, and positive impact. With TEAM as our guiding principle and leadership with humility as our compass, I am confident that we will achieve great things.

Thank you for entrusting me with this responsibility. Let us embark on this journey together, knowing that Together Everyone Achieves More.

Thank you.
