The University of Southern Mindanao (USM) conducted its Mid-Year Performance Review on August 10 to 11, 2026, at the University Commercial Building, USM, Kabacan, Cotabato.
The review covered 47 Office Performance Commitment and Review (OPCR) documents, providing the University a basis to check the accomplishments of its offices during the first half of the year, review progress against set targets, and identify areas that need improvement.
Through the review, the University also examined the progress of its offices and discussed consolidated comments on the presented OPCRs. The discussions provided an opportunity for offices to look into concerns in their performance and determine areas that need to be addressed in the succeeding months.
USM President Dr. Jonald L. Pimentel encouraged the offices to revisit the University’s statement and policies and assess whether the targets set for the year are being achieved. “Na-achieve na ba natin lahat ’yon?” Pres. Pimentel asked.
He also urged the offices to sustain the accomplishments already achieved and address areas that still need improvement. “Let us sustain what we have achieved and address what needs improvement,” he said. The University President also thanked the employees for their service and efforts in carrying out the responsibilities of their respective offices, particularly the Financial Management Services for their work in supporting the University’s operations.
The Performance Management Team (PMT) remained open to suggestions raised during the review as part of the continuing improvement of the University’s performance.
During the closing program, Faculty Regent Engr. Willie Jones Saliling recognized the efforts of the employees and noted the positive growth observed in the University’s performance. “There is a positive growth. We appreciate the effort of everyone. Unti-unti na nating na-align ang individual targets to the office targets,” Engr. Saliling said.
Further, Engr. Renel Alucilja noted that the review was conducted smoothly and expressed hope that the concerns identified during the activity would be addressed in the coming year. “I hope by 2027 we could resolve the problems that we’ve encountered now,” Engr Alucilja mentioned.

Nagsagawa ang University of Southern Mindanao (USM) ng Mid-Year Performance Review noong Agosto 10 hanggang 11, 2026, sa University Commercial Building, USM, Kabacan, Cotabato.
Sinuri sa dalawang araw na review ang 47 Office Performance Commitment and Review (OPCR) documents upang matukoy ang mga naisakatuparan ng bawat tanggapan sa unang kalahati ng taon, masubaybayan ang paglago ng mga itinakdang target, at matukoy ang mga aspeto na kailangan pang pagbutihin.
Sa isinagawang pagsusuri, tinalakay din ang mga komento at obserbasyon sa mga iniharap na OPCR. Naging pagkakataon ito para sa mga tanggapan na balikan ang kanilang mga nagawa, pag-usapan ang mga hamon sa kanilang performance, at tukuyin ang mga kailangang tugunan sa mga susunod na buwan.
Hinimok ni USM President Dr. Jonald L. Pimentel ang mga tanggapan na balikan ang pahayag at mga polisiya ng Unibersidad at suriin kung naaabot ang mga target na itinakda para sa taon.
“Na-achieve na ba natin lahat ’yon?” tanong ni Pres. Pimentel.
Binigyang-diin din niya ang pagpapatuloy ng mga naisakatuparan na at pagtugon sa mga bahagi ng performance na nangangailangan pa ng improvement.
“Let us sustain what we have achieved and address what needs improvement,” aniya.
Nagpasalamat din ang pangulo sa mga empleyado sa kanilang serbisyo at pagsasagawa ng mga responsibilidad ng kani-kanilang tanggapan, kabilang ang Financial Management Services sa kanilang naging suporta sa operasyon ng unibersidad.
Samantala, nanatiling bukas ang Performance Management Team (PMT) sa mga mungkahi at puna na inilabas sa isinagawang review bilang bahagi ng patuloy na pag-aayos at pagpapahusay ng performance ng Unibersidad.
Sa closing program, kinilala ni Faculty Regent Engr. Willie Jones Saliling ang pagsisikap ng mga empleyado at ang pag-unlad na nakita sa performance ng Unibersidad.
“There is a positive growth. We appreciate the effort of everyone. Unti-unti na nating na-align ang individual targets to the office targets,” ani Saliling.
Samantala, sinabi ni Engr. Renel Alucilja na naging maayos ang pagsasagawa ng review at nagpahayag ng pag-asa na matutugunan sa mga susunod na panahon ang mga problemang natukoy sa aktibidad.
“I hope by 2027 we could resolve the problems that we’ve encountered now,” ani Alucilja.
Sa pamamagitan ng Mid-Year Performance Review, nabigyan ang mga tanggapan ng pagkakataong makita kung nasaan na sila sa kanilang mga target para sa taon at kung ano pa ang kailangang gawin upang maisakatuparan ang mga ito bago matapos ang 2026.
