Once again, Tarlac State University was awarded two eNGAS recognitions for its accomplishments and contributions in utilizing the Electronic New Government Accounting System (eNGAS) from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025.
This is the second consecutive year that TSU has received the Outstanding eNGAS System User Entity Award and the eNGAS System Inclusiveness Award (formerly Gallantry Award), which were formally handed over to the university's finance team during the Government Financial Management Innovators Circle, Inc. (GFMIC) 16th Annual National Convention and 2025 Membership Conference held on September 25, 2025, in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
Representing TSU during the awarding ceremony were Atty. Gherold C. Benitez, Vice President for Administration; Mr. John Erwin C. Panlilio, Finance Director; Dr. Marlon V. Gamido, Office of Management and Information Systems Director; and Mr. Ryan R. Ronquillo, Accounting Unit Head.
According to Mr. Ronquillo, TSU has been utilizing eNGAS version 1.2 since 2005, making it one of the pioneering users of the system among government agencies in Region III.
Moreover, the adoption of eNGAS has since streamlined accounting processes, aligned financial reporting with the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), and ensured the timely generation of relevant financial reports for enhanced performance monitoring.
“The back-to-back recognition reaffirms TSU’s commitment to innovation, accountability, and leadership in advancing digital public financial management in higher education institutions,” Mr. Ronquillo said in a statement.
Adding to the university’s achievement, the TSU Commission on Audit team, led by Atty. Meliza Joy P. Manalo and Mr. Jay Mer D. Tabugan, also received the Outstanding eNGAS System User Audit Team Award in the same event. (mjbm/jlm-OPA)
