HISTORY

The Bulacan State Agricultural College is an educational landmark of

vital importance to the province of Bulacan. It gives everyone the
opportunity to pursue higher education, which is very much needed for
agricultural proficiency and for individual as well as for national
development.

Serving as a community high school in Brgy. Bintog, Plaridel, Bulacan,

Plaridel Community Agricultural High School was the name of Bulacan
State Agricultural College upon establishment in 1952. Made later as a
provincial high school, it was renamed Bulacan Provincial Agricultural High
School (BPAHS). On June 20, 1953 by virtue of Republic Act No. 948, it
was converted to Bulacan National Agricultural High School. Pres. Ramon
DF. Magsaysay signed Proclamation 163 on June 8, 1955, reserving around
192.5 hectares of the Buenavista Estate for BNAHS. On June 21, 1959, by
virtue of Republic Act 2416, BNAHS was converted to Bulacan National
Agricultural School (BuNAS).

In 1960, it was authorized to offer a two-year Associate in Agriculture

program. Not long after, the school was given the leeway to offer the four-
year agriculture curriculum, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSA) with
majors in Agronomy and Animal Husbandry. It expanded its program and
offered Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education (BSAgEd) with
majors in Agronomy and Animal Husbandry.

In its existence as an agricultural school, BuNAS made substantial

growth and progress in terms of instruction. The time came when the aca-
demic community and the people of Bulacan felt that the school was ready
to become an agricultural college. It was a dream and a clamor as Bulacan
did not have an agricultural state college yet. Aware of what an agricultural
state college can do in the lives of the people and in the life of the province
itself not only economically but socially and culturally as well political leader
made attempts in congress to endorse the conversion. The clamor was
articulated in House Bill No. 2389 filed by former Congressman Ricardo C.
Silverio. On February 24, 1998,, Republic Act 8548 was made into a law
converting the school into Bulacan National Agricultural State College.
Then, in February 19, 2004, by virtue of Republic Act 9249 it was renamed
into Bulacan Agricultural State College (BASC).

At present, the College has three campuses, both of which are

located at the 3rd District of Bulacan. The Main Campus is located in Brgy.
Pinaod, San Ildefonso while the Institute of Agriculture Campus is located
8
 ANNUAL REPORT 2018

in Poblacion, San Ildefonso, Bulacan while the Agroforestry Campus was

established in Brgy. Sapang Bulak, Doña Remedios Trinidad (DRT) in 2005
which is aptly called the DRT Campus.

From serving as a community agricultural high school, it has

metamorphosed into a training ground of not only secondary but also
tertiary, masteral and doctoral students, all of these, not only seeking for
their own place in the field of agriculture and allied disciplines, but earnestly
seeking for and working for self-fulfillment and progress for the Philippines.

Analysis:

P1.HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAM – The Accomplishment Rate of

the College was only 97.54%. It fell short to surpass the target due to the
Output Indicator 2: Percentage of undergraduate programs with
accreditation. One program, the Bachelor of Science in Agroforestry was
deferred for accreditation for the reason that it needsfurther compliance
specifically on Areas VI and IX. Hence, the College maximized the grace
period given in order to prepare the BS Agroforestry program for its revisit
by the ACCCUP in September 2019.

P2.RESEARCH PROGRAM - BASC had an average accomplishment

rate of 144.22% out of the three (3) performance indicators measured
under this program. It exceeded its target by almost half (44.22%) due to
close monitoring of the targets especially that backlogs during
accreditation are in this area.

P3. TECHNICAL ADVISORY EXTENSION PROGRAM –The average

accomplishment rate is 136.32. It was due to the increase number of
trainings requested for by other partner agencies and to two (2) new
extension projects for FY 2018.

follows:

Amount (Php)

Personnel Services 860,661.29

is net of PS. BASC’s total obligations for MOOE and CO amounted
to Php117,688,085.28 and Php110,278,867.28 or 93.70% was
disbursed.
The unliquidated obligation for MOOE amounting to Php4,953,500
was particularly on the Scholarship Grants for the 2nd semester, AY
2018-2019. On the other hand, the unliquidated obligation for CO
amounting to Php2,455,718 was for the appropriations for the
Upgrading of Electrical Lines.

C. Of the 12 programs and projects proposed by the College for FY

2018, 10 projects were completed before the year ended. However,
two projects are still ongoing which are expected to be completed this
1st quarter of FY 2019. The delay was due to inclement weather
condition which hampered the construction and the details of the as-
built plan for electrical.

C. Total Income vs. Income Utilization for FY 2018

The following are the receipts and expenditures from the
earmarked income of the College based on the submitted FAR 2, 2A and

2018 2,647 34,068 36,716 29,350 79.94%

Analysis:

The College receipts for FY 2018 increased by Php8,946 or 35.61%

compared to the FY 2017 receipts, the same with its Expenditure from
earmarked income of Php6,132 or 26.41% . However, the utilization rate
for FY 2018 is only 79.94% due to the delay in the release of national
government subsidy for free higher education under RA10931 by CHED-
UNIFAST, which resulted to unliquidated obligation for projects charged
from internally-generated income (Fund 161) and the reserved amount for
the 2nd semester AY 2018-2019 expenses considering that 2nd semester
income will only be released in the succeeding year which is 2019.

II. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

1. On Physical Accomplishment:

The overall accomplishment rate of the College is 124.37%. The

outcome/output indicators were delivered within budget except for the
one (1) output indicator pertaining to accreditation of program.

2. On Financial Accomplishment:

The Budget Utilization Rate (BUR) for obligations of BASC as of

December 31, 2018 was 99.57%, and 93.70% BUR for disbursements.

23
 ANNUAL REPORT 2018

3. On Income:

The College’s actual income for 2018 showed an underperformance of

20.06%.

4. The overall performance of the College is still commendable.

Although there were backlogs in realizing the targets however, the

College still exceeded 100% on its overall average performance on the
physical targets. As the College still follow the old Organizational
Structure and Staffing Pattern, especially for administrative positions, this
is not enough to address the present needs of the College specifically in
the planning and development unit.

III. RECOMMENDATIONS

To sustain the performance of BASC, the following are recommended:

1. It is recommended that the College immediately adopts the

Organizational Structure and Staffing Pattern for Level III SUC so that to
adjust the positions and create additional plantilla items to help in the
delivery of services of the College.

2. In the procurement of Capital Outlay, the approval of the SUC President

is sufficient as long as it complies with R.A. 9184 and revised IRR,
instead of securing the Board of Trustees’ approval.

Though this is an internal problem with CHED, because of the

management function of DNM, we suggest that DBM “brokers” this
procurement process dysfunction or thru a GPPB issuance of Non-Policy
Matter Opinion.

3. It is suggested that the appropriation for the implementation of RA 10931

or Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education may be built-in in the
Annual Budget of the College to ensure prompt implementation of
programs and projects instead of through CHED-UNIFAST.
