The review assessed the performance of over 300 agencies nationwide—including SUCs—based on three major dimensions: financial performance, physical performance, and the timeliness and quality of report submissions.

According to the DBM report, Partido State University outperformed its Bicol counterparts.

ParSU’s high rating affirms its efficient fund utilization, robust program implementation, and commitment to transparency and accountability in the delivery of quality education, research, and community services.

The DBM highlighted that SUCs with strong fiscal discipline and timely accomplishment reporting demonstrated the ability to translate public investments into meaningful outcomes—ranging from improved learning environments and high research productivity to active community engagement.

In the Bicol Region, Partido State University’s performance places it at the forefront of higher education institutions that exemplify these standards, setting a benchmark for academic and operational excellence in Southern Luzon.

Nationally, only four SUCs achieved a perfect score of 5.0 (Outstanding), namely: Cagayan State University, President Ramon Magsaysay State University, Biliran Province State University, and Davao del Sur State College. 

While ParSU did not receive a perfect 5.0, its ranking as Bicol’s best-performing SUC in the 2024 APR reflects significant progress in governance, financial efficiency, and service delivery.

The APR forms part of DBM’s whole-of-government approach to promote transparency, accountability, and bureaucratic efficiency. Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman noted that 95 percent of evaluated agencies in 2024 earned either “Outstanding,” “Very Satisfactory,” or “Satisfactory” ratings, a reflection of the government’s push for better public service delivery.

For Partido State University, this recognition solidifies its position not only in education and research but also in fiscal discipline and institutional governance.
