We are proud to share a momentous milestone in the history of Apayao State College (ASC) as the Office of the President of the Philippines has officially approved the results of the 2024 Philippine Quality Award (PQA) Assessment Cycle, following the endorsement made on June 5, 2025.
The announcement affirms ASC’s exemplary performance in institutionalizing quality management systems and consistently delivering value to its stakeholders. Recognized through a rigorous and highly competitive evaluation process by the PQA Board of Judges and Assessors, the achievement positions ASC as a benchmark institution in the country’s pursuit of organizational excellence.
In a letter signed by Director Lilian G. Salonga, Director IV of the Department of Trade and Industry’s Competitiveness Bureau, the institution was commended for its strong leadership, dedicated workforce, and unwavering commitment to continuous improvement.
“Your organization’s achievement reflects a deep commitment to quality and excellence in performance, and it serves as a model for other institutions aspiring to raise the standard of their operations and services,” stated Dir. Salonga.
The Philippine Quality Award is the highest level of national recognition for exemplary organizational performance in both the public and private sectors. ASC’s recognition not only highlights its achievements but also supports the country’s broader goal of building globally competitive and quality-driven institutions aligned with national development objectives.
