DEBESMSCAT Vows Continuous Improvement Following CHED-RQAT Monitoring

The three-day monitoring and evaluation conducted by the Commission on Higher Education Regional Office V (CHED RO V) and the Regional Quality Assessment Team (RQAT) at Dr. Emilio B. Espinosa, Sr. Memorial State College of Agriculture and Technology (DEBESMSCAT) concluded on May 14, 2026, through an exit conference highlighting the presentation of findings, recommendations, and institutional commitments toward universityhood.

The evaluation, conducted from May 12 to 14, focused on assessing the institution’s compliance with CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) No. 46, s. 2012, or the “Policy Standard to Enhance Quality Assurance (QA) in Higher Education through Outcomes-Based and Typology-Based QA,” including the minimum requirements for academic programs and universityhood standards.

During the exit conference, members of the evaluation team presented the initial results of the assessment, including identified strengths, areas for improvement, and recommendations to further enhance the institution’s academic programs, facilities, laboratories, and support services.

College officials, directors, deans, faculty members, and personnel attended the conference headed by Dr. Arnel B. Millesca, who reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to continuously improve its systems, strengthen quality assurance mechanisms, and address the recommendations provided by the evaluators.

The activity marked another significant step in DEBESMSCAT’s continuing pursuit of academic excellence, institutional development, and full university status in service of the Masbateño community.

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.
