PANABO CITY – Davao del Norte State College assembled its fund managers on October 22, 2026, at the Gender and Development Conference Room for the crafting of its Work and Financial Plan (WFP) for Fiscal Year 2027.
In his rationale, Dr. Marck Lester L. Navales, Director of the Finance Services Division, addressed, “This is an important activity because it allows us to look at the needs of our respective offices, identify our priorities, and determine how we can make the best use of the resources available to us.”
He emphasized that budget planning involves thoughtful decisions on the use of public funds to serve students, support employees, and fulfill the institution’s mandate.
The program featured the presentation of the guidelines for crafting the FY 2027 WFP and the FY 2027 institutional targets by Mr. Joshua P. Elardo, Director of the Institutional Planning and Project Development Division. Discussions on budget prioritization, allocation, and ways forward were also included.
College President Joy M. Sorrosa, in a message delivered by Dr. Leo Jr. D. Rayon, Director for Research, reiterated the College’s commitment to honesty, accountability, and prudent financial management.
“In DNSC, we will continue to uphold honesty, accountability, and prudent financial management, knowing that every decision we make carries a responsibility not only to our stakeholders but also to the values we stand for. Nothing is hidden from God, and He honors diligence, integrity, and faithful stewardship,” Dr. Sorrosa said.
The activity provided fund managers with an avenue to align their proposed expenditures with the College’s institutional direction and ensure the responsible utilization of public resources.
