Priority projects were also mentioned by President Orden with the directive that each program must include these in their planning session to realize the vision of providing a more conducive environment to all the stakeholders of CLSU, especially in preparation for the return of the students.

Moreover, he shared their plans of further mechanizing the production of the University and implementation of the infrastructure projects for 2022 that will eventually strengthen the income-generating projects of UBAP. On the second day, Dr. Danilo S. Vargas, Vice President for Administration laid out the changes and accomplishments of the General Administration and Support Services (GASS) Program in terms of streamlining the processing of documents and procurement of equipment. The AdCo members agreed to the plan of shifting from manual to electronic and digitized processes which are foreseen to help in solving the problems in processing documents.
