29 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 3 PURSUIT OF GOOD GOVERNANCE

30 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 IMPROVEMENT OF PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

SILLIMAN PRESS

In school year 2008-2009, we were able to accomplish the innovative idea of printing composition notebooks which has given the SBE-Elementary Department a quality and a uniquely Silliman product. The notebooks, featuring four landmark pictures of the University, have made the Press the first in Negros Oriental to venture into this kind of enterprise. This project is also made possible through the wholehearted support of Director Prof. Francisco E. Ablong. This opening of school year 2009-2010, another product is also being undertaken, namely the writing pads from Grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and the intermediate paper.

The Silliman Press continues to prove what we have always stood for – quality service in printing and fairness in giving prices. The financial operation of the Press posted a positive net income of P714,312.26 in 10 months from June 2008 to March 2009. Hopefully at the close of this school year, we may be able to meet the 1 million peso-income. This performance is a big development, thereby boosting our morale as a service unit of this University.

Last June, Silliman Press acquired an instant digital colored machine which provided great assistance in the operation of printing colored jobs such as posters, brochures, flyers, and other colored materials. This year we plan to do the following:

1. Continue the marketing and promotional drive in Negros Oriental and Siquijor provinces; 2. Purchase two colored risograph machines; 3. Acquire the latest technology of computers with upgraded programs; 4. Upgrade existing machines; 5. Market our latest product – notebooks and writing pads – to other establishments, department stores, or even other schools.

31 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS

The Buildings and Grounds Department has been tasked on the maintenance of structures and grounds of the University and ensuring, as in the past, compliance of the needs for repairs, renovation, constructions, hauling, transport services and the garbage collections on campus and at Silliman Medical Center Foundation, Inc. (SMCFI) compound.

For the efficient and speedy delivery of services, the University supported our department’s needs in the purchase of one (1) unit Mitsubishi Canter Truck, one (1) unit Mitsubishi Boom Truck, three (3) units Ramstar and one (1) unit Yamaha 125 STX motorcycle.

Campus academic buildings/facilities were renovated and rehabilitated, thereby significantly improving services to our students in the ensuing school year like the Amphitheater, High School, Elementary School, Heflin Hall, Abby Jacobs, Luce Auditorium, SU Cafeteria, Oriental Hall, Hibbard Hall, Guy Hall, Uytengsu Hall, among others. The Nursing Building 2 Phase I (structural) and construction of Phase II (finishes) is on-going.

Repairs on all dormitories and SU Church comfort rooms were done as well as the repairs of parking areas, concrete block at Roman T. Yap road, clearing of clogged drainage canals, concreting of canal, construction of a septic tank at SU Gym, rehabilitation of canals from SU Gym to Hibbard Avenue, and from Ladies Coop Dorms to Oriental Hall.

On campus beautification developments, the department has accomplished the landscaping and planting of ornamental plants at the East Quadrangle, constructed plant boxes along the sides of Hibbard Avenue with landscaped improvements, and fences were lowered.

The Department also installed lights and posts at Faurot Lane. Fire suppression facility using water sprinklers for Doltz Hall, Larena Hall, and Woodward Hall were installed.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTS • Upgrading of electrical distribution system protection P 10, 156,194.17 • Renovation of Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium, replacement of chairs, replacement of airconditioning system 20,555,665.55 • Renovation of Uytengsu Hall (College of Engineering and Design) 6,764,000.00 • Construction of SU CNAHS Lecture/Laboratory Building 20,033,000.00 • Construction of Nursing Education Building 2 (as of June 2009) 18,452,339.29 • Renovation of Rosal Cottage 736,028.40 • Construction of SU Medical School 4,490,000.00 • Construction of Uytengsu Foundation Computer Center 12,650,300.83 • Renovation of Marina Clinic 5,835,000.00 • Renovation of Occidental Hall 205,483.13 • Construction of SU Home Annex 2,007,235.37 • Renovation of University House 1,296,773.57 • Construction of SU Early Childhood Building 3,246,401.00

32 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 CAMPUS BEAUTIFICATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT Starting last year, the Buildings and Grounds department started improving the landscape around the acacia trees located at East Quadrangle and is still continuing at West Quadrangle and in the rest of the campus. Gumamelas were planted around both quadrangles and are now approximately three feet tall. Also, the landscape in front of the Multimedia Center was improved and developed.

The fence of the East and West Quadrangle along Hibbard Avenue was replaced by a plant box with landscape and matching lighting. Additional to the plant box is a paver walk on both sides of the boxes.

The Beautification Committee has identified areas on the campus to be improved. These are areas between buildings. Fortunately, there are donors who have expressed and donated some amounts for the development of the areas between Udarbe Memory Chapel and Occidental Hall, and between Uytengsu Computer Studies Hall, Science Complex, and Ausejo Hall.

33 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 FOOD SERVICES DEPARTMENT The Food Services Department has managed to register positive operating results despite the effects of the economic downturn characterized by rising cost of basic commodities as a result of the increase in oil prices worldwide. During the ten-month period from June 2008 to March 2009, net income from operations is at Ps. 4,476,764.48. While gross revenue is higher compared to the same period last school year 2007-08, the minimal increase in the prices of goods and services this school year could only partially absorb the increase in the cost of raw materials and goods purchased. Thus, in comparison, the current percentage of cost of goods sold to gross revenues is at 65.04 percent against 57.79 percent last year. This is mainly due to the fact that fixed board rates are pegged at the start of the school year and are not adjusted accordingly when there is an increase in the cost of the meals served. This year, the Cafeteria served 592, 230, and 227 fixed board residents in the first semester, second semester and summer respectively, for the biggest share of revenues which stands at Ps. 14,829,802.20 as of March 31, 2009.

Aside from operating and maintaining university food outlets, the department has been given the additional task of overseeing and supervising all food concessionaires inside the campus. While food kiosks operated by outside entities have been on campus for a few years now, only recently was the department designated to perform such task. The move was made to ensure that the food service providers will abide by the University’s policies, rules and regulations especially in the observance of health and sanitary practices as well as the ban on smoking and drinking of liquor, among others.

34 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 TICAO PROJECT

TESDA PROGRAM The Ticao Project of Silliman University has implemented three technical-vocational courses in cooperation with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), namely Animal Production with 20 students, Crop Production with 20 students, and Masonry with 25 students. All faculty handling these courses are all on part-time status. Additional courses planned to be implemented are: Housekeeping, Hotel and Restaurant Management, Cosmetology, and Computer Hardware Technician.

COCONUT PROJECT The Coconut Project is now harvesting as much as 80% of the total harvestable production, for the first time since Silliman has taken over the management of the farm. The squatters are now limited on the area where they have put up their residence. Negotiations are still ongoing with the help of Bishop Joel Baylon, DD, bishop of for the squatters to accept our terms based on the development framework of Ticao Project.

SOCIAL FENCING PROGRAM There are 43 families that are farmer cooperators of this program. They serve as the laborers of the Coconut Project and other projects in the farm, at the same time they are given areas of around a hectare for them to farm. All income from their farm is solely used for family consumption to supplement their income from their fishing and off farm activities.

ANIMAL PROJECT The population growth of animals is evidenced by the increase in number of newly born animals that are roaming with their dams. Efforts should be made to improve the fencing and making of paddocks to monitor closely the production of these animals. Development of other projects, aside from the layer and broiler which are existing, should also be given attention mainly to supplement the vocational technical program of TESDA.

PROJECT CHALLENGES With the TESDA Program, classrooms and students’ dormitories need to be built to cater for students coming from distant places, and to improve the teaching-learning environment. Repair of the old buildings need to be done to prevent them from further deterioration.

41 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 4 PURSUIT OF RELEVANCE AND REACH TO THE ALUMNI, TO THE COUNTRY AND TO THE WORLD

42 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 LINKAGES

The initiatives of Silliman University under relevance and reach run alongside its continuing efforts to make its programs and services matter to the lives of both its internal and external constituencies.

School year 2008-2009 was marked with activities that further widened the University’s community of partners of Silliman. It attests to its commitment to develop the culture of “friend-raising” as an approach to advancing its institutional interests and advocacies.

Silliman University took up leadership roles in significant academic organizations. President Dr. Ben S. Malayang III was voted Philippine representative to the Executive Committee of the Association of Christian Universities and Colleges in Asia in mid-2008. The last time Silliman was represented in the Executive Council was in 1989. In May 2009, Dr. Malayang was also unanimously voted President of the Association of Christian Schools, Colleges and Universities (ACSCU). For year 2009, the ACSCU President automatically concurrently becomes Chairman of the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations, the umbrella association of five other associations of private Protestant and Catholic schools in the Philippines.

Projects that Silliman completed and continue to undertake are supported by grants from funding agencies such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, United States Agency for International Development, and Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development. These are projects related to agro-forestry, coastal resource management, reproductive health, and environmental and good governance.

Silliman’s continuing partnership with the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia (UBCHEA) produced in SY 2008-2009 opportunities for faculty members to pursue further studies in the Philippines and abroad, do research and attend conferences in Indonesia and Hong Kong on diverse topics covering marine conservation, service-learning, liberal arts education, and digital humanities.

Advocacies of the University came out strong when it hosted three conferences with national and international participation. Within April and May 2009, delegates from around the Philippines, United States and other Asian countries attended the following events: National Conferences on Wetlands, International Scientific Meeting on Environmental Education, and the National Scientific Convention of the Federation of Crop Science Societies of the Philippines.

43 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 CURE INTERNATIONAL AND SU: AN ALUMNI-BASED OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY

• An outreach and engagement partnership was initiated, implemented, and evaluated by an alumni chapter in Southeast Texas. The goal: to provide a basis for a start-up Development Office activity for a Christian university in .

• Impacts generated include: enhanced dialogue, collaboration, and partnerships among SU, four hospitals, a non-profit global organization, and the alumni chapter; enabling and empowering capacity of the chapter to proactively generate funds; motivation to seek new funding partners.

• Significance of the strategy: SU can share this outreach and engagement process as basis for replication among other chapters in North America and elsewhere; the chapters may elect to use this outreach and engagement process; alumni who are not yet organized into chapters can opt to use this process of engagement with SU; the outreach and engagement process may be refined to further the reality of creating a University Development Office.

• Stakeholder needs were attained in this manner, thus far: University academic and community needs were articulated with alumni in North America; global non-profit mission of bringing health and hope to hospitals wasmet by providing a 40-foot container van of medical goods and equipment; another non- profit organization provided major funding for the 40-foot container van.

• The findings of this endeavor can be used in various ways: SU can use this outreach and engagement strategy as basis to move forward with the creation of an Office of Development; the global non-profit relationship can be sustained by having staggered shipments of medical goods and equipment; alumni chapters can use/refine this outreach and engagement process; fund-generating activities can be deliberated when new partners and collaborators are sought in a sustainable manner.

44 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 ALUMNI AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

Each visit by the University in the various towns and cities was also a chance to revive or organize a new chapter, or induct new officers.

• Trustee Antonio Villamor, Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, inspired the organization of Silliman engineers and nurses in the .

• New chapters were also organized in Minnesota, Delaware Valley, and in Arizona.

• Initial steps have been taken to revive chapters in Australia, and plant new ones in Jakarta and in London.

SILLIMAN HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION Silliman University in cooperation with the Silliman University Credit Cooperative, Inc. (SUCCI) developed a housing project. This is an exclusive subdivision initially for SU and SUMCFI personnel and later included SU alumni. The lot was sold by SU to SUCCI at cost and SUCCI managed the housing project. This included selecting a developer and selling the house and lots to qualified buyers.

A blessing and ground breaking ceremony of the subdivision was held at the site in the morning of January 31, 2004.

The subdivision is located at Barangay Junob, Dumaguete City, a 10-minute ride from the SU campus proper. The subdivision occupies an area of about 44,237 sq.m. Thirty percent of the area or 13,271 sq.m. is devoted to parks and playgrounds, community facilities, roads and canals. The remaining 70% or 30,966 sq.m. is used for housing units. Since the subdivision project is under Batas Pambansa 220 (Socialized Housing Law), 20% of the total gross land area is devoted for socialized housing units.

The subdivision has a total of 185 housing units, wherein 64 will be socialized units (Jade Model); 51 are considered the medium –range units (Ruby Model) and 70 units are the high-end units (Emerald Model).

51 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 CULTURE OF GRATITUDE The University Administration wants to instill a culture of gratitude in the University. In line with this, the following recognitions and awards have been institutionalized. a) ORDER OF HORACE B. SILLIMAN

A recognition of individuals, families, and groups who have donated and endowed to Silliman significant capital assets like lands, buildings, and negotiables. Named in honor of Horace B. Silliman whose donation of $20,000.00 to the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church of America in 1900 led to the founding of Silliman in 1901.

Ideally, conferral of membership to this Order shall be done every Founders Day or any two days before or after Founders Day. However, other occasions are considered in order to fit to the schedule of both the awardee and the University administration.

Qualifications: • Shall have donated either or both land, building or negotiable instruments with a total value of at least Php1 million. This is now increased to Php5 million. • The Deed of Donation had been approved by the Board of Trustees. b) GALLERY OF GRATITUDE

A large room in Hibbard Hall properly decorated as a sitting lounge, where large metal scrolls are placed on its walls. The scrolls shall have inscriptions of names of donors of scholarships, professorial chairs, special equipment, and funding support for academic programs. Scrolls shall be placed in groups and colored according to categories of donation (scholarship, chair, program support), recipient colleges or units, and the years the donations were made. At the center of the hall is a bust of Dr. David Hibbard.

Qualifications: • Gifts and donations have been received by the University and entered into its books • Proceeds of the gifts have been used by recipients

52 SILLIMAN UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 c) MEMORIAM WALL OF HERITAGE BUILDERS

A brick wall along the perimeter fence in the Silliman Hall area, where in each brick, inscribed are the names of former or retired faculty and staff who have since passed away, and who, based on process, have been identified as among those whose work in Silliman “significantly contributed to building in the university a heritage of competence, character and faith, which embody the unique identity and definition of being a Sillimanian.”

Qualifications: • Had served as faculty or staff for a total of at least 20 years • Has been a regular, visiting, or fraternal worker • Nominated by either a university unit (college, school, institute, department, or center), faculty or staff group, or alumni group • Recommended to the Board of Trustees by the President • Approved by the Board of Trustees

Annual Inscriptions: The process to identify a roster of possible awardees shall be a continuing process. Any former colleague identified shall automatically be placed in a list from which 10 names shall be selected for inscription every Founders Day. The announcement of names to be inscribed shall be done in a moment of solemn remembrance at the conclusion of the awarding of the Outstanding Sillimanian Award. d) TREE OF LIFE The Tree of Life (TOL) was launched by the Silliman University Alumni Council of North America (SUACONA). Silliman will promote the Tree of Life as an opportunity for Sillimanians to memorialize loved ones who had inspired and supported their education in the university. They could be family members, benefactors, friends and others who gave them the privilege of studying at Silliman; encouraged them to come to Silliman or to whom they feel unquantifiable indebtedness. In short, the Tree of Life shall be to them a visible means to honor loved ones, friends or colleagues who have given meaning to their lives.

The TOL is located at the lobby of the Portal West Building in the main campus of Silliman University.

Leaf and Trunk subscriptions in TOL shall be the same as presently priced by SUACONA (i.e., $1,000.00/ leaf and $100,000.00/trunk). Any future adjustments to be made by the University shall be only for the purpose of maintaining the same level of value of the subscriptions in 2009 US Dollar levels.

The name of the donor or persons/organizations shall be inscribed on the leaf or trunk.
