In order to sail smoothly throughout the school year, the Cebu Technological University Bantayan Extension Campus conducted a General Orientation/ Re-orientation for Faculty and Staff last November 28, 2022.ย
The whole-day event was divided into two sessions. In the morning session, the University’s Four-Fold Functions: Research, Extension, Production, and Resource Generation, were discussed.ย
Prof. Girlie F. Fariola, Campus Director of CTU-Bantayan Extension, explained the university’s research function. She also mentioned some of the research endeavors of the faculty and staff this year and the previous year. This was followed by a review of the Table of Specifications by Dr. Nikkitea L. Beduya. Dr. Marjorie L. Zanoria discussed the Extension Function, while Prof. Felixberto T. Lucabon Jr. also tackled the Instruction and Academic Policies. He also added discussions about the syllabus.
The second session, which was in the afternoon, was focused on the Administrative Policies and HRM Core Systems, which Mrs. Sofia M. Montana discussed.
Representatives from the Social Security System (SSS) andย the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF, known as Pag-IBIG) were also present during the orientation. Mr. Rustan P. Lawan, Account Specialist of Pag-IBIG Fund, Mr. Vernie T. Casiano, and Mr. Eduardo O. Abong, Account Officers of SSS Bogo, did the discussions for employee welfare and benefits. An open forum followed wherein concerns were raised regarding each of the agencies. The event indeed was a big help to the faculty and staff, especially the newly hired, as they can understand better their home CTU.
