Quezon City, Philippines — PDPZ met with Dr. Jimmy G. Catanes, the newly appointed Regional Director of CHED MIMAROPA, at the CHED Central Office in Diliman, Quezon City on April 4, 2024.
It was indeed a very insightful meeting with Dr. Catanes wherein he suggested prioritizing the MSC academic programs that qualify for the Center of Development and Center of Excellence.
Additionally, Dr. Catanes expressed plans to enhance the College’s internationalization efforts and recommended applying for the World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI) and Times Higher Education (THE) rankings once MSC has achieved university status.
On the other hand, with immense delight and aspirations for the future Marinduque State University, PDPZ expressed optimism for future partnerships and opportunities under the new leadership of Dr. Catanes and CHED MIMAROPA.
