Can your procurement plan stand up to budget, audit, and implementation realities under RA 12009?

Procurement does not begin with the purchase request, bidding, or award. It begins with proper planning.

The Government Procurement Policy Board - Technical Support Office has released the Strategic Procurement Planning and Budgeting Linkage Primer, a practical reference for Procuring Entities on how procurement planning connects with budgeting under the New Government Procurement Act and its IRR.

The primer discusses key planning concepts, including agency needs, project relevance, value for money, risk management, procurement strategy, disposal planning, PPMP and APP preparation, Indicative APP and Final APP, APP revisions, and strategic procurement considerations.

Under RA No. 12009 and its IRR, procurement must be undertaken with proper and sufficient planning and preparation, taking into account the needs of the Procuring Entity, project relevance, value for money, and associated risks.

After a time of reflection, we return to work with renewed purpose—and a stronger commitment to integrity in public service.

The New Government Procurement Act (RA 12009) has been recognized as one of the biggest anti-corruption measures in government procurement, introducing reforms that strengthen transparency, accountability, and public trust.

Today, the 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗕𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 - 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗚𝗣𝗣𝗕-𝗧𝗦𝗢) launches the Anti-Corruption Measures Primer under RA 12009 and its IRR—a practical guide that breaks down the key safeguards now embedded in our procurement system.

From livestreaming of procurement proceedings and open data disclosure, to the No Contact Rule, protest mechanisms, and blacklisting provisions, these reforms are designed to prevent undue influence, deter misconduct, and ensure that every peso of public funds is spent with integrity.

Because every peso deserves protection.

Isabela State University–Cauayan Campus has officially transitioned to a hybrid work and learning arrangement as a strategic response to rising fuel costs and the implementation of university-wide austerity measures.

According to Memorandum No. 042, s. 2026, the new guidelines dictate a schedule of two days for face-to-face activities on Monday and Tuesday, and the remaining two days for online or work-from-home modes, while maintaining the established Friday remote setup.

University President Boyet L. Batang emphasized that these measures are designed to minimize operational expenses like electricity and air conditioning without compromising the quality of instruction or the delivery of essential campus services.

Isabela State University–Cauayan City Campus expanded its student welfare initiatives with the launch of “Hydration for Education: Free Water Access Project,” a program implemented by the Supreme Student Council (SSC) to ensure reliable access to safe drinking water across the campus, February 10.

The project installed free water stations in high-traffic and student-centered areas, including the Campus Library, Student Center, and the Gymnasium area in front of the SSC Office, providing students, faculty, and campus visitors with convenient hydration points throughout the day.

The initiative addressed health, equity, and academic concerns by recognizing hydration as a fundamental requirement for physical well-being and sustained learning. The project removed cost barriers and access limitations, creating a more inclusive environment where students could fully engage in academic and co-curricular activities.

Beyond its immediate benefits, the project supported sustainability efforts by encouraging the use of refillable containers and reducing dependence on single-use plastics. All water stations were installed following sanitation and safety standards to ensure water quality and user safety.
