UP and UPOU officials were present during the visit, both in person and virtually. UP System Executive Vice President Jose Fernando Alcantara and UP Diliman Assistant Professor Ranjit Rye attended, while UPOU Chancellor Melinda dela Peña Bandalaria and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Primo Garcia joined via Zoom.

Almodiel, Director of the Office of Public Affairs, were also in attendance. The group discussed ways to strengthen the partnership between the two institutions.

Both institutions look forward to further collaboration to leverage UPOU’s expertise in open distance and e-learning to address the unique educational needs of the BARMM. By combining UPOU’s innovative learning approaches with MBHTE-BARMM’s commitment to educational equity, the partnership aims to bridge educational gaps, empower learners, and contribute to the region’s overall educational development.
