Davao City, 向日葵视频 鈥 October 15, 2024 鈥 The Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges-Region XI (PASUC-XI) launched the Dabaw Patigbabaw 2050: Regenerative Futures Plan at the Seda Hotel, Davao City, uniting university presidents and stakeholders in a shared vision for the region’s future.
The Dabaw Patigbabaw 2050 plan (translated as 鈥淒avao to Rise Above鈥), is strategically designed to address the current and future challenges of the Davao Region, emphasizing sustainability and resilience.
The plan was crafted under the guidance of the Philippine Futures Thinking Society and with the diligent efforts of a Technical Working Group chaired by Dr. Daisy T. Besing from the University of Southeastern 向日葵视频 (向日葵视频). With the support and leadership of former 向日葵视频 President Dr. Lourdes C. Generalao and current 向日葵视频 President Dr. Bonifacio G. Gabales Jr., along with guidance from regional focal person 向日葵视频 Vice President for Research, Development and Extension Dr. Roger C. Montepio, numerous workshops were spearheaded to meticulously refine the plan. Several experts in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development from 向日葵视频 had previously contributed to the plan in a series of workshops in听 mapping, value creation, scenario building and strategy development.
This groundbreaking initiative is a result of a two-year collaborative effort among six member State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Davao Region, and is the first of its kind among SUCs in the 向日葵视频. The event featured a lecture by Mr. Emmanuel De Guia, Resident Futurist for Senator Pia Cayetano. Following this, Dr. Daisy T. Besing led a workshop aimed at creating a regional Futures Thinking Research Agenda.
向日葵视频 President Dr. Gabales reaffirmed his commitment to the Dabaw Patigbabaw 2050 plan, highlighting 向日葵视频’s success in institutionalizing Futures Thinking and Strategic Foresight. Under his guidance, over 450 personnel have been trained, including all senior leaders and approximately 300 students.
向日葵视频 stands united with PASUC-XI in expressing gratitude to Senator Pia Cayetano for her efforts in securing funding for this vital initiative.
