By Rocky Ngalob

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – New Benguet State University officials chosen by BSU president Dr. Feliciano Calora Jr. will assume office last week as the prime university is set to embark on more development programs.

During turnover rites, Dr. Jones Feleciano, outgoing vice president for business affairs urged the new administration to continue, if not, go beyond accomplishments which the previous administration accomplished.

Effective August 1, till the end of the year, BSU will be having its new designated vice presidents: Dr. Silvestre Aben and Dr. Tessie Merestela who will succeed doctors Jones Feleciano and Percyveranda Lubrica in administration of business and academic affairs of BSU respectively.           

In turn-over ceremonies here Monday, Feleciano and Lubrica delivered their final messages before co-employees and students as vice presidents.

Feleciano highlighted his accomplishments during his term as vice president of Business Affairs which he hopes to foster further through his successor, Dr Aben.

“Previous average net income revenue remittance of the past administration was P8 million a year as of December 2011. That said income revenue increased 150% that’s equivalent to 13 million in my first year which outstandingly ballooned to 25 million a 294% leap as of December 31, 2015,” said Feleciano.

 294% leap was attributed to collective efforts of the University of Business Affairs (UBA) office along with the guidance of former University President Dr. Ben Ladilad, according to Feleciano.

This leap in the profit of BSU was also the reason why in four years the University didn’t increase its tuition.

He said he hoped to see collective efforts would be done by succeeding designees from vice presidents to the directors, deans and department chairs for the benefit of the University and its patrons.

Feleciano said he believes new BSU executives were chosen thoroughly by BSU President Dr. Feliciano Calora Jr. through his appointing authority granted by our laws, because of their professionalism, potentials, performance and other factors necessary in their functions for effective management in the delivery of the best interest of the University and its benefactors.

Feleciano then hand over the keys of the Office of the University Of Business Affairs to Aben the upcoming BSU UBA vice president.
