UNEP cited with highest number of accredited programs

In terms of offering academic programs consistent with its mission to promote quality education, the University of Northeastern Philippines (UNEP) has undoubtedly retained that repute all through this years.

This year, UNEP has proven once again that it has retained its secure pace in maintaining this academic prestige when the Philippine Association of College and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA) announced that it was bestowed with an honor as an Institution with the highest number of accredited programs in Region 5, the title given to the university for the past two (2) years.

Atty. Remelisa Alfelor-Moralada, the young and dynamic UNEP President said that the distinction only proves that the university remained non-complacent of the accolades that keep on finding its way to UNEP.

“The more honors and distinctions that we receive, the more we try to surpass what we have been credited for. It is never resting on your laurels but finding more ways to compete with our success. UNEP is bent on achieving more of these honors as we prepare our students to be globally competitive,” Moraleda said in an interview.

For three times in a row, UNEP occupied the slot as an Institution with the highest number of accredited programs in Region 5. The confirmation was contained in the PACUCOA letter to Moraleda dated November 15. It was issued by PACUCOA Chairman Rosita L. Navarro Ph.D.

It was in 2010 when UNEP was first cited with the said recognition. At that time, UNEP did not only receive the distinction an Institution with the highest number of accredited programs in the Bicol Region but an Institution with the Highest Number of Candidate programs in the Philippines.

In 2011, PACUCOA Awards Committee gave the said recognition to UNEP. This 2012, the honor was again received by the said university.

The awarding ceremonies was held at the Century Park Hotel at P. Ocampo Street in Malate, Manila on December 7. The conferment was also held in connection with the celebration of the 39th founding year of PACUCOA and in line with its 23rd Annual General Assembly.
