DECISIONS OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS
1332nd MEETING, 26 JANUARY 2018
I. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
A. 1331st BOR Meeting, 18 October 2017
1. University of the Philippines Baguio Campus Master Plan
Board Action: Conditional Approval as “Continuing Master
Plan”, to include a proposal to relocate some
units/facilities to other UP properties in Baguio.
1.1 President Concepcion informed the Board that a special briefing of members of the
Board was held on 3 November 2017, with Regents Laurel, Jimenez, Farolan and
Oliquino in attendance. He was informed that the UP Baguio Campus Master Plan
is acceptable to most of the Regents who attended the said briefing.
1.2 Regent Oliquino explained that while most of her personal contentions were
adequately explained in the said briefing, the issues of UP Baguio students regarding
dormitories and public open spaces remain unanswered. She said that students are
questioning the construction of the Balay International, which is a dormitory for
international students, when there are no existing dormitories for male students inside
the campus and the conversion of public open spaces, supposedly for student
activities, into cafés. She registered her dissent to the proposed Campus Master Plan
based on the foregoing.
1.3 Regent Laurel noted that UP Baguio has a well-prepared Campus Master Plan but
the land area of UP Baguio is insufficient, considering the rate at which UP Baguio
is growing. His observation was affirmed during his visit to UP Baguio last 4
December 2017, upon the invitation of Chancellor Rovillos, for the soft opening of
its new mini-theater. He said that the Board should seriously consider expanding or
transferring to a bigger location, probably outside the city, to be able to address the
issues raised by Regent Oliquino.
1.4 Regent Escudero said that any plan of relocating UP Baguio should be reflected in
the Campus Master Plan. Given the points raised by Regents Laurel and Oliquino,
he proposed that the Board approve the UP Baguio Campus Master Plan as a working
Master Plan to include the transfer of UP Baguio to another location in the next ten
to twenty years.
1.5 In response to the inquiry of Chair De Vera, UP Baguio Vice Chancellor for
Administration, Prof. Jessica Cariño, confirmed that UP Baguio has a four-hectare
undeveloped property in Itogon, Benguet on which UP Baguio intends to build low
impact structures to be used for ecological and environmental research.
1.6 Architect Aries Go also explained that a minimum of 12 hectares would allow an
additional 4,000 students. He added that the present campus has built up about 60%
of its space, with 40% open space. Under the Campus Master Plan, buildings and
structures are redesigned to convert rooftops into usable open spaces.

I. MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES … (cont’d)
A. 1331st BOR Meeting, 18 October 2017 (cont’d)
1. University of the Philippines Baguio Campus Master Plan (cont’d)
. . .
1.7 Regarding the dormitories, Vice Chancellor Cariño explained that there is an existing
female dormitory, which can accommodate about 150 female students. In the
medium term, the master plan includes a male dormitory, which can accommodate
the same number as the female dorm. The residential area around the campus
presently offers boarding and lodging spaces for students.
1.8 Regent Farolan requested an assurance from the leadership of UP Baguio that
facilities for student activities must be provided. He added that there should be some
regulatory mechanism for monitoring the living conditions, as well as rental fees, of
students staying in boarding houses or apartments in the UP Baguio vicinity.
Chancellor Rovillos said that while there are city ordinances governing the matter,
his team shall check to see how they are being implemented.
1.9 Regent Arinto sought information on the extent to which there is consensus around
the campus Master Plan within the UP Baguio community. Chancellor Rovillos said
that the Campus Master Plan is a result of a consultative participatory process that
started in 2012. He assured the Board that for each of the components in the Campus
Master Plan, the team made sure that the direct users have been consulted.
1.10 Regent Jimenez noted that UP Baguio’s Cordillera Studies Programs have gained
international renown and put UP Baguio in the anthropological map of the world.
This notwithstanding, UP Baguio should not prioritize expansion through
undergraduate enrolment but should instead focus on further improving the quality
of UP Baguio’s existing academic programs, especially in the anthropological
sciences, and the study of indigenous people and their cultures in the Philippines and
the rest of Asia.
1.11 Noting the proposals of Regents Escudero and Jimenez, the Board adopted the UP
Baguio Campus Master Plan as a continuing Campus Master Plan that will be subject
to revisions at the appropriate time. The Board further directed UP Baguio officials
to submit to the Board the master plan for the other property of UP Baguio, with the
intent of possibly moving some units and facilities to this location.

II. MATTERS APPROVED BY THE BOARD (cont’d)
A. GENERAL GOVERNANCE (cont’d)
1. Proposed naming of the following building and space at the College of Arts and
Communication, UP Baguio: (cont’d)
. . .
1.1 President Concepcion explained that Teatro Amianan reflects the vision of UP
Baguio to make the theatre the creative performance hub of the north.
1.2 The space below the theatre, which is being used as an art exhibit area/gallery,
will be named the Darnay Demetillo Art Space. President Concepcion explained
that Mr. Darnay Demetillo was a professor of UP Baguio who is considered the
father of the UP Baguio Fine Arts Program. He was the UP Baguio Artist-in-
Residence for over 30 years.
2. Proposed renaming of the Information Technology Office of the Philippine General
Hospital from Information Systems Office (ISO) to Information Technology (IT)
Office
Board Action: APPROVED
2.1 President Concepcion said that the Philippine General Hospital wanted to rename its
existing office from “Information Systems Office (ISO)” to “Information
Technology (IT) Office” primarily to avoid confusing the same with the International
Standards Organization which uses the same acronym.

At this point, the Board went into an executive session.

Scientist program are compelled to renounce their foreign citizenship, Regent
Escudero suggested that the University’s Legal Office draft a bill exempting faculty
of SUC’s from the dual citizenship law by amending the Civil Service Law, instead
of the dual citizenship law. He is of the opinion that this would be a faster way of
resolving this issue.
4.2 President Concepcion added that the same draft may include a provision allowing

to be delegated, and the financial threshold in terms of donations that can be

of delegated authority include the possibility of the downward delegation of

He added that any such delegated authority should ensure compliance with all
relevant laws and regulations, and Commission on Audit (COA) issuances.

authority to approve contracts so the Board may focus on policy-making and not
implementation. Regent Maronilla seconded the motion.

did not undergo review by the BOR Finance Committee because the amounts are
below the P75 Million threshold.

capital outlay that were not spent. He added that, under the law, said savings
remained with the University but must be reprogrammed in order to make the fund
available for other expenditures of the University.

The Board CONFIRMED the following matters: (cont’d)
A. Ad Interim appointments of UP officials: (cont’d)
UP System (cont’d)
Prof. JOSE WENDELL P. CAPILI as Director, Office of Alumni Relations… (cont’d)
a.1. Upon query of Chair De Vera, President Concepcion briefly explained that the Board
has given the UP President authority to appoint University officials during periods
when the BOR is unable to meet for prolonged periods of time. The ad interim
appointment takes effect immediately but is subject to confirmation by the Board of
Regents. Should the Board reject the appointment, the President has to recommend
another candidate. If the Board confirms the ad interim appointment, the same shall
retroact to the time that the President extended the ad interim appointment.
a.2. Chair de Vera noted that the appointment of Prof. Jose Wendell Capili as Director has
no provision for an “end of term”. He suggested adopting the same provision as the
other appointments so that the appointee will have to “serve at the pleasure of the
President”.
a.3. On a related matter, Regent Jimenez relayed to the Board the observation by some of
the Regents that the Office of Alumni Relations (OAR) has not really maximized the
alumni support for the University. He moved that the OAR submit a proposal on how
to revitalize the Office of Alumni Relations and to make sure they are competitive
with the alumni efforts of other universities. Regent Farolan seconded the motion.
a.4. Regent Maronilla said that the OAR is linked with the UP Alumni Association
(UPAA). He invited the Board of Regents to support UPAA’s project, called
“MarAwit – Awit para sa Marawi,” which is a concert intended to raise funds for the
education of Marawi children.
a.5. Regent Farolan expressed his support to the UPAA project. However, he said that the
University or the UPAA could also tap the UP Resilience Institute (UPRI), in terms
of channeling funds for the program. Regent Maronilla requested Regent Farolan’s
support to prepare the draft proposal for the European Union which is trying to find
ways and means for their funds to flow into the Philippines.
a.6. Regent Jimenez commended Regent Maronilla and the UPAA Board for supporting
the welfare of the Marawi children.
