Ramos, Arch. Ma. Theresa V. Gopez, Engr. Merricris U. Pangilinan, and Engr. Marianne B. Calayag; Bataan Peninsula State University represented by Dr. Juliet R. Masangcap; Batangas State University by Dr. Agnes D. Arellano, and Engr. Norxine L. Montalbo.  Additionally, Dr. Kim Edward S. Santos and Dr. Darwin U.

Maranda from Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology; Engr. Rhoderick M. Favorito and Engr. Mary Anne M. Sahagun from Don Honorio Ventura State University; and Arch. Marijoy C.

The different focus areas were handled by a team of local accreditors from the colleges who diligently prepared the materials concerning Research; Performance of Graduates, Community Extension, International Linkages or Consortia, and the Planning Process. These are the central parameters that validate the level and quality of standards of the programs in review. The grueling preparation was also assiduously aided by the unwavering support of the administration and the entire RTU community, especially during the organization of the materials for compliance, as well as those previously recommended by the AACCUP.

The university’s Quality Assurance Office (QAO), headed by its hardworking director, Dr. Edna Conwi, and her equally reliable staff, ensure that the entire process of the accreditation survey runs smoothly and on track toward the fulfillment of the eight programs’ accreditation.
