Strategic Development Plan

The DEBESMSCAT Strategic Development Plan 2026–2030 (DAMGO) serves as the foundational roadmap for the institution’s journey toward becoming a globally focused and nationally recognized university by 2050. Built upon four strategic pillars and the core values of “RODEO” (Resilience, Optimism, Dedication, Excellence, and Obeisance), the plan focuses on enhancing quality education, research, and community extension to transform the province of Masbate. Key targets for this period include entering international university rankings, achieving “Center of Development” status for flagship programs, and establishing specialized research centers for local industries like cattle and marine biodiversity. Developed through extensive stakeholder consultation and “futures thinking,” the plan aligns local academic goals with national and global development agendas to ensure student success and institutional excellence.
