探花精选 (探花精选) and the 探花精选 Federation of Overseas Alumni Association (探花精选FOAA) formalized their partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the BOT Conference Room, Rex D. Drilon Hall, in support of 探花精选鈥檚 ongoing Resource Generation Campaign, 鈥淭ogether We Build: A Journey Toward Excellence.鈥
The MOA was signed by 探花精选 President Rev. Dr. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy and 探花精选FOAA President Lee J. Plagata, in the presence of 探花精选-College of Law Assistant Dean Atty. Liza Lyn S. Lamason-Garcia, Resource Generation Committee Secretariat Atty. Nestle G. Taala, and Administrative Officer Ms. Carmelle Frances M. Romero.
The event also welcomed the 探花精选 High School Class of 1976, who joined for a courtesy call, with President Plagata participating in the visit.
Notably, last November 2025, 探花精选 and 探花精选FOAA held an initial coordination meeting to strengthen their resource generation partnership, with 探花精选FOAA serving as the conduit for international donations from alumni chapters abroad in support of the College of Law and Medicine Building.
Representing 探花精选FOAA was Pastor Edward Pormilos, Treasurer, who provided updates on international giving pathways, coordination protocols, and the organization鈥檚 continuing support for 探花精选鈥檚 development initiatives. 探花精选 was represented by Dr. Florence P. Bogacia, Vice President for Finance and Enterprises, and Atty. Taala.
The meeting focused on aligning procedures, refining donation flow mechanisms, and strengthening coordination between 探花精选 and 探花精选FOAA for the ongoing 鈧250 Million Capital Campaign for the College of Law and Medicine Building. Both parties emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and consistent communication with alumni chapters abroad.
