The University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao (USLT) officially opened its 2026 Institutional Management Review on July 29, 2026, at the Phoenix Publishing RDev Building in Quezon City, bringing together the university’s management team for the two-day institutional activity. The opening day focuses on the Management Review cum Annual Reporting, while the second day is dedicated to the Action Plan Presentations.
The two-day activity began with a Eucharistic Celebration presided over by Rev. Fr. John Mark D. Barroga, CICM, Vice President for Mission and Identity/ University Chaplain, who reflected on authentic leadership through the biblical figures of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus. He emphasized that effective leadership goes beyond administrative competence—it is fundamentally a profession of faith. He reminded the management team that planning is an act of hope, as it reflects trust in God’s providence and confidence in the future.
Following the mass, Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, Ph.D., University President, delivered his opening message, encouraging the management team to reject mediocrity and pursue excellence through accountability, effective communication, and openness to change. He reminded the participants that true compassion is rooted in both love and justice, calling on them to lead with empathy and responsibility.
Day 1 centers on evaluating the university’s overall performance and effectiveness through the annual management review. The sessions cover a review of previous management actions, assessment of internal and external issues affecting the university, performance and monitoring results, stakeholder feedback, resource adequacy, risks and opportunities, and areas for continual improvement.
Furthermore, the session features the Annual Report Presentations of the Mission and Identity, Finance, Administration, Academics, and President’s Clusters, highlighting accomplishments, key performance indicators, and strategic initiatives in support of USLT’s commitment to quality management and institutional excellence.
Additionally, the program further covers management review outputs, including improvement opportunities, resource requirements, and recommendations to strengthen the university’s Educational Organizations Management System (EOMS), reinforcing USLT’s commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) by promoting effective, accountable, and transparent institutional governance, while advancing SDG 4 (Quality Education) through continuous quality improvement and organizational excellence.
Looking ahead, the Institutional Management Review continues on July 30, 2026 with the Action Plan Presentations of the different clusters, outlining their strategic priorities and initiatives in support of the university’s goals for the coming year.
