KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato – Regional Project Monitoring Committee (RPMC) XII visited some of the successfully and efficiently- implemented vertical projects at the Cotabato Foundation College of Science and Technology (CFCST) in Doroloman, Arakan, Cotabato Province on September 13, 2022.

The projects visited were the men’s dormitory, two-storey eight-classroom junior high school building, two-storey eight-classroom senior high school building, ROTC building, retrofitting and rehabilitation of a two-storey college of education, two-storey student’s center, two units of a two-storey college of agriculture, four units of a onestorey agriculture office building, amphitheater, improvement of gymnasium and founder’s museum - phase 1, and concrete access roads within the campus. The implementation of these projects was found to be highly satisfactory and remarkable given the quality of workmanship, appropriate budget allocation, and completion as scheduled or without delay.

Dr. Ali K. Dilangalen, CFCST President, proudly shared some of the good practices that led to the successful implementation and completion of the projects. These are: a) early preparation of plans, detailed engineering designs (DED) and program of works (POW); b) conduct of early procurement activities; c) awarding of contracts to competent and reliable contractors; and d) optimum use of experts and consultants. Being an engineer by profession, he also gives time to personally inspect the construction activities to ensure contractors’ compliance with the design specifications. RD Teresita Socorro C. Ramos of NEDA XII and Chairperson of the RPMC XII led the monitoring team during the field visit. She congratulated Pres. Dilangalen for the fast and smooth implementation of the projects which are supported and endorsed by the CFCST Board of Trustees. She also enjoined the team of Pres. Dilangalen to sustain the quality, good performance and on-time implementation and completion of projects to set an example to other SUCs and contractors. Pres. Dilangalen will be invited to the 4th Quarter Meeting of the RPMC XII to share the best practices for replication in the implementation of future similar infrastructure projects.
