In 2006, with the start of the present administration headed by the University
President, Dr. Priscilla C. Viuya, the Office of the Vice-President for Planning,
Research, Extension and Training (VP-PRET) was under the helm of Dr. Brigido Corpuz.
The offices under the VP-PRET were the Planning and Development Office (PDO), University
Research Office (URO), University Extension Office (UEO), Office of the Alumni Affairs
(OAA), Center for Tarlaqueño Studies (CTS), Institute of Local Government Administration
(ILGA), and University Training Office (UTO).
On 15 February 2008, Dr. Glenard T. Madriaga was designated as the new Vice-President
for PRET in lieu of the designation of Dr. Brigido Corpuz as Vice-President for
Production. Moreover, the name of the office was changed to Vice President for Research,
Extension and Development (VP-RED) when the Organizational Structure of TSU was
revised and approved during the August 1, 2008 BOR Meeting. With the changes was
the transfer of the PDO under the Office of the University President and the UTO
to the Office of VP-Production. The rest of the offices were retained while new
ones were attached namely the Gender and Development (GAD) and Intellectual Property
Office (IPO).
The VP-RED focused on fulfilling the mandates of each of the attached office.
Programs, projects and activities were planned and implemented that would accent
the comparative advantage of the university. In fact, good reviews were reported
by the University Planning Office on the accomplishments of offices under the VP-RED.
