BukSU holds 2028 Budget Forum to align university spending with development priorities

Bukidnon State University (BukSU) convened its top management and department heads on November 11, 2026, to review and consolidate proposed budget requirements for Fiscal Year 2028 held at the University Auditorium.

The 2028 University Budget Forum aimed to ensure that essential operational needs and priority development initiatives are adequately funded and matched with appropriate funding sources.

Vice President for Administration and Finance (VPAF) Dante S. Victoria, Jr. outlined four core principles to guide the university’s resource allocation: strengthening investments in infrastructure, improving operational efficiency, investing in people and institutional capabilities, and reinforcing accountability. Victoria emphasized that these priorities are necessary to maintain essential facilities, optimize internal processes, enhance human resources, and ensure the responsible use of public funds.

Throughout the forum, representatives from various delivery units presented their operational and capital requirements for their respective Programs, Activities, and Projects (PAPs). Discussions focused on aligning these proposed expenditures with BukSU’s broader institutional goals and available funding streams.

The activity was organized by the university’s Planning and Development Unit in coordination with the Finance Management Division, Budget Unit, and Project Management Unit as part of BukSU’s ongoing efforts to strengthen strategic planning and public service delivery.
