Almighty willed that I am privileged to have been chosen as one among the 10 members of the Beloved University Development and Heritage Initiatives (BUDHI) Board of Trustees.
Big thanks to Sir Ruffy Ignacio for this great opportunity to have joined this life-changing opportunity to be of service to our Alma Mater and our people.

I also take this opportunity to serve as BUDHI’s first President even as I urge everyone to join us and support this noble cause that will eventually benefit Mindanao State University greatly, our scholars, and our faculty and other equally talented but deserving youths.
I feel humbled and honored as I take up this responsibility. I am also aware of the huge expectations from all our stakeholders. But I fully agree that with support from all our distinguished donors who believe in this novel cause and who will eventually decide to give part of their wealth in support to our beloved University and its academic mission.
It is my solemn prayer that we all continue to contribute generously to this initiative for the well-being of our future generations and for continuous development of the Mindanao State University.

ROMEO S. MAGSALOS
President
