The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Office I, along with the Office of Institutional Quality Assurance and Governance - Coordination and Governance Division (OIQAG-CDG), visited MMSU today, October 8, to monitor and evaluate the Land Use Development and Infrastructure Plan (LUDIP) grant project of the university. The visit aimed to establish a comprehensive plan to optimize the university’s resources for implementing and developing the project.

Supervising Education Program Specialist Ms. Anunciacion Peñaflorida and Education Program Specialist Ms. Theresa Maestro led the monitoring team. Meanwhile, the CHED Regional Office I delegation comprised education supervisors Mr. Ricky Cerna and Ms. Leonora Quarte.

During the courtesy call, MMSU OIC President Prima Fe R. Franco emphasized the significance of the LUDIP grant project, highlighting the university’s dedication to advancing facilities and resources for students and faculty. “We give importance to these projects because our stakeholders will benefit from it,” she said.

The LUDIP grant project aims to enhance the university’s land resources while improving infrastructure to serve its community better. Its successful implementation will allow necessary adjustments to ensure that development remains aligned with the university’s long-term goals.

In accordance with the Republic Act No. 11396, all state universities and colleges are mandated to prepare and implement a LUDIP, which is a prerequisite for the approval of future infrastructure projects.
