PSHS-CMC is again, ISO Certified
The Philippine Science High School Central Mindanao Campus (PSHS-CMC) has achieved yet another milestone by receiving a recommendation for ISO 9001:2015 certificate maintenance.
The external audit, conducted exclusively by auditor Elizabeth Villezar from TUV NORD Philippines, Inc., took place over a span of two days from October 2 to 3, 2023.
The audit covered various key offices within the institution, including top management, Finance Administrative Division (Procurement, Supply and Property Management, Budget-Accounting, Cashiering), Curriculum and Instruction Division, Student Services Division (Registrar Services, Library Services, Health Services, Guidance Services & Dormitory Management), and maintenance (A/V & IT Equipment).
During the closing meeting, auditor Villezar reported PSHS-CMC exhibited a commendable commitment to quality management systems as there were no major or minor non-conformities found.
Marisa Dahan, the Quality Management Representative (QMR), extended heartfelt gratitude to several key contributors during the ISO audit. She thanked the auditor for her invaluable guidance and acknowledged the Internal Quality Audit (IQA) team and the rest of the CMC community members for their support and dedication throughout the rigorous process.
"Struggles were real particularly in adapting to organizational changes, especially within our IQA. However, our strong determination drove us to overcome these obstacles and achieve our goals, " Dahan said.
This accomplishment underscores the school’s unyielding dedication to maintaining the highest standards of quality and excellence in education. It is a testament to the collaborative efforts of the entire PSHS-CMC community.

PSHS-CMC GAD Plan and Budget for CY 2024
Campus Director Franklin L. Salisid encouraged PSHS-CMC faculty and staff to exercise prudence and creativity in allocating resources to prioritize the essential needs of the institution during its Annual Operational and Procurement Planning Workshop for FY 2024 and Gender and Development (GAD) Planning and Budgeting for FY 2024.
“Let us strategize to maintain the high-quality education even in the face of budgetary constraints,” Salisid said.
The three-day workshop that ran from September 20 to 22, 2023, at Alona’s Summer Breeze Resort in Panaon, Misamis Occidental, brought together key members of the PSHS-CMC community, including the campus director, division chiefs, unit heads, office heads, and coordinators.
The planning took on exceptional significance as it was held against the backdrop of a substantial budget cut of 300 million pesos from the PSHS system for the fiscal year 2024.
Despite such financial limitations, participants displayed resilience and dedication by engaging in thorough discussions to ensure that critical programs and projects remain supported. The workshops resulted in the identification of key areas, ensuring that the institution's paramount needs remain a priority.
Curriculum Instruction Division (CID) Chief Jay Carl Agbay acknowledged the difficulty of planning under such budget constraints and called for understanding, particularly from the scholars, teachers, and parents, in case changes in the terms and conditions of the school's operations and procurement become necessary.
