Ngayong araw, taos-pusong pagpupugay at pasasalamat ang ipinaaabot ng buong Department of Education sa lahat ng mga ilaw ng tahanan, sa mga nanay at sa lahat ng tumatayong ina na walang sawang nagsasakripisyo, nag-aaruga, at nagbibigay inspirasyon para sa kinabukasan ng bawat bata.

Kayo ang unang g**o ng pagmamahal, kabutihan, at pangarap. Sa inyong bawat yakap, payo, at sakripisyo, hinuhubog ninyo ang mas malakas at mas mabuting mga kabataan. ❤️

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆.

This morning, the DepEd SDO Leyte Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) successfully conducted the online Pre-Procurement Conference for the procurement of School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) Nutritious Food Products for School Year 2026–2027.

Opening the activity, OIC-ASDS and BAC Chairperson Dr. Teodorico C. Peliño Jr. emphasized:

“Procurement for the School-Based Feeding Program is not simply about purchasing food products. It is about protecting the health, nutrition, welfare, and future of our learners. Every specification, delivery schedule, inspection requirement, and safeguard we integrate into the procurement process directly impacts the quality of services our children receive.”

The Pre-Procurement Conference is a critical requirement under procurement laws and regulations as it allows the Procuring Entity to thoroughly review the technical specifications, procurement strategy, delivery schedules, inspection requirements, contract provisions, and implementation safeguards before the conduct of the actual procurement process.

For a flagship and high-impact program such as the SBFP, the activity becomes even more important to ensure that procurement specifications are responsive and non-restrictive, delivery schedules are aligned with the approved cycle menu, nutritional and food safety standards are integrated, inspection and inventory controls are clearly established, and risks and implementation gaps identified in previous audits are properly addressed.

During the conference, the End-User Unit, through Nurse Riza Suyom, Doctora Iris Colilihan, and Dr. Gil Esplana, presented key program requirements and solicited safeguards to strengthen accountability, inventory management, supplier coordination, and compliance with nutritional standards. Valuable insights and recommendations were provided by the Technical Working Group (TWG), BAC Members, and participating offices to further improve the procurement documents and contract implementation mechanisms.

The BAC also highlighted the importance of integrating stronger monitoring, inspection, documentation, and supplier performance measures in response to prior implementation and audit observations, ensuring that public funds are utilized efficiently, lawfully, and transparently.

The BAC leadership expresses its appreciation to the End-User Unit, TWG, BAC Secretariat, BAC Members, and all participating offices from the Supply Section thru Atty. Paz Barbosa, and Accounting Section thru CPA Amiel Dennis Allado, for their collaborative efforts in strengthening procurement systems for the benefit of our schools and learners.

𝗩𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻-𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗤𝗖𝗣) 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Today, the Bids and Awards Committee (BAC), together with the Head of Procuring Entity (HoPE), formally conducted the Ceremonial Vetting and Turn-Over of the Quality Control Procedure (QCP) on Procurement Management to the Procurement Unit (PU).

The QCP, which is fully compliant with Republic Act No. 12009 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, establishes standardized procedures, control mechanisms, and process documentation that will further strengthen transparency, accountability, efficiency, and quality assurance in procurement operations of the Schools Division Office of Leyte.

The adoption of the QCP on Procurement Management marks another significant milestone for the Division as it moves toward full Quality Management System (QMS) and ISO Readiness Audit compliance. With this development, the SDO is now closer to completing and harmonizing all institutional processes aligned with quality management standards and good governance principles.

The ceremonial signing and turnover were witnessed by select BAC Members and BAC Secretariat personnel at the Procurement Transparency and Conferencing Center (PTCC), symbolizing the Division’s collective commitment to institutional excellence and continuous process improvement. The QCP has been accepted by the Procurement Unit through Atty. Paz Barbosa, one of the unit heads from Administrative Services Unit.

In his message, OIC-ASDS and BAC Chairperson Dr. Teodorico C. Peliño Jr. emphasized:

“Quality procurement is not achieved by compliance alone. It is achieved through clear systems, documented procedures, accountability, and continuous improvement. The QCP ensures that procurement processes remain consistent, transparent, and responsive to the needs of our learners and stakeholders.”

Meanwhile, Schools Division Superintendent and HoPE Dr. Mariza S. Magan underscored the importance of institutionalizing quality systems in governance:

“Strong institutions are built on strong processes. Through the adoption of this QCP, we reinforce our commitment to lawful, efficient, and quality public service anchored on integrity and professionalism.”

The BAC leadership also expresses its sincere gratitude to the key offices, Technical Working Group (TWG), BAC Secretariat, and all personnel who contributed valuable inputs during the crafting, review, and validation of the QCP.

This initiative reflects the continuing transformation of procurement governance in SDO Leyte—from compliance-driven processes to quality-driven systems.

Para sa bawat batang Pilipino.
