MSU System President Atty. Paisalin P.D. Tago, CPA took to the grounds yesterday, October 29, for a hands-on inspection of major campus upgrade projects. Visiting key construction sites—including the SASE Building (next to the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management), the University Library, the Institute of Science Education (ISED), and the Department of Security Services Buildings—President Tago checked on progress to ensure the modernized facilities meet their completion targets and safety standards on schedule.

​What started as a routine admin walk lowkey turned into the highlight of the day. President Tago spent time interacting directly with students along the route, stopping for quick photo ops at e-cart stops and terminal stations. The spontaneous meet-and-greet brought instant wholesome vibes to campus, transforming standard administrative oversight into an engaging moment for everyone around.
