A benchmarking activity dubbed โMeeting of Mindsโ was held on September 10, 2025, between Pangasinan State University (PSU) and Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University (DMMMSU).
The PSU team, led by ๐ผ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐. ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ด. ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐, welcomed the DMMMSU delegation to discuss best practices in their pursuit of the Philippine Quality Award (PQA).
President Galas, former Director and Vice President for Quality Assurance and a prime mover of quality mechanisms in the university, graced the activity by giving a refined walkthrough of PSUโs journey toward the award.
โQuality assurance must be seen, implemented and established in all offices of our systems. As we venture into various certifications, we will not have a hard time preparing documents as these are already embedded in the system,โ President Galas said.
Officials from the Office of the Vice President for Quality Assurance (OVPQA), headed by VP Dr. Celeste T. Mercado, shared steps in the award application process. Clarifications on supporting documents to be prepared were among the key points of discussion.
OVPQA Directors Asst. Prof. William Cayetano and Prof. Randy Joy M. Ventayen also took part and led the presentation in the โMeeting of Minds.โ
In his response, Dr. Emmanuel J. Songcuan, Director for Quality Assurance of DMMMSU-SLUC, expressed gratitude to PSU for its generosity in sharing best practices.
โWe now understand better how things are put in place. Your systems and processes are worth emulating. Thank you, PSU,โ Dr. Songcuan said.
Also present were Ms. Venus My. H. Sarmiento, Director for Public Relations and Information Office; and Mr. Charles Dustein Soriano, OVP-QA Document Management In-Charge. The activity was held at the PSU Golden Lion Hotel.
Truly, PSU continues to open its doors to meaningful collaborations in the commitment to quality and excellence among agencies for community upliftment.
