In line with the celebration of the 52nd Founding Anniversary, Biliran Province State University (BiPSU) unveiled its new state-of-the-art Teleconferencing Center facility through a formal inauguration ceremony, which was held at the second floor of the Automotive Building today, August 29.

The conversion of the old president’s office into a state-of-the-art teleconferencing center is expected to serve a multitude of purposes, primarily supporting the university's research activities. However, its utility extends beyond research, as it will be instrumental in facilitating virtual meetings for various university events, collaborations, and engagements that require seamless communication across distances.

Moreover, this project was made possible through the collaboration of BiPSU with the Visayas Consortium for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Program (ViCARP) and Department of Science and Technology (DOST) after receiving ICT equipment amounting to more than five hundred thousand (500,000) pesos from the DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD) in July 15, this year.

The inauguration was graced by distinguished guests, including the keynote speaker for this year’s founding celebrations, DOST Regional Director Dr. John Glenn D. Ocaña. Also in attendance were Mayor Gretchen Espina of Local Government Unit (LGU) Naval, DTI Provincial Director Dr. Faustino Gayas, and key officials from BiPSU.

In his message, Dr. Ocaña emphasized the significance of the new facility, saying, "The inauguration of the newly established Teleconferencing Center is a testament to BiPSU's commitment to embracing technological advancements and providing your students with the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.”

The keynote speaker affirmed that this center will not only enhance BiPSU’s educational offerings but also serve as a hub for innovation and collaboration that will connect with more partners and experts not just within the region, or national, but from around the globe.

With this new facility, BiPSU aims to not only enhance its research capabilities but also to strengthen partnership with academic and research institutions both within and outside the country.
