ChildNetwork Project

Around 50 street children and kids from financially challenged families went through a summer camp that used the arts in enhancing their creativity and building a better sense of self and community. Conducted from April 11 to 14, 2016, the project was an initiative under the ChildNetwork project of the Cultural Affairs Committee and the Extension Program.

Cultural Affairs Committee

For 2015-2016, the Cultural Affairs Committee’s theme is #cultureisPEOPLE, which invites our patrons to understand that the work of art and culture inevitably translates to endeavoring a complete uplift in cultural sensibilities for everyone -- and not just to the people that

make up the Silliman community, but also the greater communities of Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental. The hashtag in the theme focuses on how culture can now be transmitted fast and appreciated everywhere in the world, made possible in a time of great technological marvel.


Silliman University-Angelo King Center for Research and Environmental Management (SUAKCREM)

The Silliman University Angelo King Center for Research and Environmental Management (SUAKCREM) continued to undertake marine scientific research activities with James Cook University in Australia. These include those that sought to understand how the performance of no-take marine reserves may be negatively affected by natural and man-made disturbances or enhanced by their proximity to mangroves, seagrass beds and algal beds that could function as nursery habitats for juvenile fish.

SUAKCREM also conducted several research and capacity-building activities in School Year 2015-2016, including: a survey-training on toxic jellyfish at Cauayan, Negros Occidental; an assessment of the Kabalin-an Lake in the Balinsasayao Twin Lakes Natural Park in Sibulan, Negros Oriental, together with the

Crocodylus Porosus Philippines Inc., for its suitability for a proposed establishment of a crocodile sanctuary for the Philippine Crocodile, Crocodylus mindorensis; and an assessment, with Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro City, of the marine and other resources in Cantaan, Guinsiliban, Camiguin province. Half of the coral reef area in the marine reserve of the latter was destroyed by Typhoon Pablo in 2012.

SUAKCREM also hosted a US Fulbright Research fellow, Ms Katie Sievers. Her engagement aimed to

Center Director Dr. Ely Alcala also signed a license agreement with fern expert Dr. Victor Amoroso of Central Mindanao University in Bukidnon and Taiwanese forestry experts to publish a comprehensive Guide to Lycophytes and Ferns of Balinsasayao, Negros, the Philippines. The 70-page full-color taxonomic guide is expected to be released this year.


Excellence in GovernanceSchool Year 2015-2016 presets the

financial conditions under which Silliman University in the next school year, following the offering of Grade 11, will be operational. The potential scenario shared among higher education institutions of a decline in enrollment in college, due to entrance into senior high school, prompts us to tighten our belts.

Although studies and projections were made early on, a closer look into likely scenarios confronting Silliman in the succeeding school year guided the manner by which budgets were drawn up and appropriated,

capital expenditures prioritized, travel requests made and approved, personnel complement deployed, and related expenses weighed.

The School Year conditioned everyone in the University for the “arid years” – the period lasting two to four years when universities grapple with decrease in college enrollment. Silliman sought the cooperation and understanding of its internal constituencies in assisting in management of resources even well before this period. It was also within this period when the University instituted certain cost-control

mechanisms for it to better buffer potential impact on its finances.

Together with the Academic and Development Divisions, the Finance team of the University ensured a steady stream of non-tuition revenues from its auxiliary operations, including rentals of properties within the commercial zone and off-campus properties. These were aimed at supplementing tuition revenues, which roughly represent only around 70 per cent of the actual cost of education of every student in the University. Other sources of funds, donations among them, further

capacitated Silliman in ensuring many are able to avail of quality Christian education.

Overall Fiscal Performance

As in the previous school years, School Year 2015-2016 registered strong financial performance for the Silliman University. This was achieved collectively and pursued, conscious of preparations for next school year. The Audited Financial Statement covering School Year 2015-2016 will be released sometime August 2016.

In the audited Financial Statement for School Year 2014-2015, total amounted to P706,637,536.75, representing a 5.8 per cent increase from the previous year. Against expenses, the University registered a net income of P39,756,597.07. The

statement is available in full on the University website.

Three-Layer Budgeting Consistent with its cost-efficiency measures, the University implemented a three-layer budgeting within School Year 2015-2016. This encouraged academic and support units to develop their respective budgets around three scenarios. Each scenario was equivalent to a percentage decrease in projected enrollment in the scholastic level concerned, thus encouraging corresponding adjustments to operational and capital expenditures.

A memo was issued towards the end of the School Year to reinforce this arrangement. It highlighted how budget requests should be geared towards direct instructional requirements, and for the same to go through approval on

a need-based basis. Earlier, Silliman institutionalized zero-based budgeting.

Revised Audit Charter and Protocols

The Board of Trustees approved this School Year the Revised Audit Charter and Protocol. The manual outlines reportorial functions of the Internal Audit Chief, and his/her role and relationship with respect to the Administration, methods and procedures of performing internal audit, and processes governing identification of audit priorities and scope.

The Revised Audit Charter and Protocol is aimed at further improving the efficiency of University operations, not limited to financials but also its overall operations, including academic.

the farm also endorses supplies in the Dumaguete City Public Marketing. It undertakes its commercial operations with clearance from the National Meat Inspection Services.

Production of its layer project was at 90 per cent for this School Year, resulting in a net income of P854,237.25. Eggs are sold at the local public market. It successfully ran this project, alongside its production of coconuts, vegetables, and organic fertilizer, and its newly started banana project for internal use. Due to El Niño though, vegetable production was suspended in February 2016. It will resume in July 2016.

To go full-swing with the commercialization of its dairy project, the Scheide Farm has also started its application for a license from the National Dairy Authority (NDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

PAMPLONA FARM

The Pamplona Farm operations have six projects that continue to generate non-tuition revenues for the University. Production include sugarcane, broiler, layer, swine, dairy.

OPERATIONS AT THE PAULINO AND FRANCIS XAVIER HOW RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTERTICAO, MASBATE

Two Silliman graduates from Ticao, Masbate were scholars under the Silliman University’s Educational Program Support System, which is sustained through proceeds from the Ticao operations. Both passed the Agriculturist Licensure Examination held July 2015 and both are now working. Another scholar, also from Ticao, graduated May 2016 is now with the Scheide Farm. Another three scholars are expected to graduate in March 2017 with a degree in Teacher Education and Management.

Silliman was tapped by the Masbate Provincial Department of Social Welfare and Development to handle the Technical-Vocational Training for the beneficiaries of the 4P’s (Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program) at the Paulino and Francis Xavier How Research and Development Center from October to December 2015.

K+12 Tuition and Payment Scheme

In consultation with sectoral representatives, Silliman University developed a tuition scheme for Grade 11. It factored in the requirements in terms of facilities, services, faculty and activities that would make the campus experience and the appropriate training per track competitive and college-like. A payment scheme was also agreed upon, extending to Grade 11 students payment options.

Auxiliary Operations

FOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT

The Food Services Department (FSD) has upgraded its services this School Year. Its main facility underwent renovation to increase the dining space and centralize cooking at its kitchen at the Agustin Pulido Hall. It also procured commercial-scale equipment and catering wares and utensils, and expanded its menu options to suit catering requirements. Improvement in its services also included those served at dormitories.

In anticipation of larger gatherings, the staff of the Department also underwent a series of training, from food safety and meal management, labeling for food and non-food products, to Halal food preparation.

Faculty and Staff Development

Looking ahead, Silliman takes advantage of the K+12 transition period to offer opportunities of further studies and professional training to its faculty and staff. It sets aside funds to assist faculty members desiring to pursue doctoral degrees in the country and abroad, and those going on post-doctoral studies in order to develop new initiatives on campus on their return.

Research funds were also augmented and an improved incentive mechanism put in place. This development encourages faculty to undertake more research and publish in international journals. Cash incentives have also been adjusted according to prevailing standards.

A similar incentive mechanism was being developed this School Year for staff members. This is in recognition of staff members’ equal potential in sustaining the operations of the University and contributing to its continued growth. Incentives for staff were eyed for productivity, creativity, and innovation.

CARES

The unit has extended its services to the Gender Watch Against Violence and Exploitation (G-WAVE), a civil society organization, through the Child Abuse and Protection and Intervention Network (CAPIN). Under CAPIN, CARES provided counseling services and other related social services to victims in Negros Oriental.

CARES Head Dr. Evangeline P. Aguilan was also elected this school year as president of the Accredited Professional Organization for Guidance and Counseling, a recognized group of the Professional Regulation Commission.

MIS

The Management Information System has developed the following: MySilliman Leave Module, Online Senior High Reservation Form, Virtual Museum, Online Leave form, and the new Purchase Order System of the Cafeteria.
