The budget hearing, held today, April 28, at the Isabela State University (ISU) Cauayan Campus, gathered state universities and colleges (SUCs) across the region to present and deliberate on their proposed budget ceilings and funding priorities for the next fiscal year.

Guided by the updated FY 2026 Budget Preparation New Guide discussed by DBM Region 02, the technical budget hearing served as a venue for SUCs to justify their proposed funding requirements in alignment with national development goals.

Following CSU’s presentation, other SUCs, including Quirino State University, Isabela State University, Nueva Vizcaya State University, and Batanes State College, also presented their respective budget proposals.

The DBM team, led by Acting Director Cherry W. Bravo, assessed each presentation, providing feedback and clarifications aimed at refining budget submissions in preparation for national consolidation.
