The UP Mindanao Ad Hoc Committee for the Implementation of PUSO and BULSA met with Dr. Rex Jalao, BULSA and PUSO project leader, on September 6, 2024, to discuss further plans for implementing the new systems in UP Mindanao.

The Budget Utilization and Liquidation System Analytics (BULSA) and the Personnel Unified Systems Outlook (PUSO) are information systems built for the university's use by the UP Diliman Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research.

According to Research Director Prof. May Anne Mata, UP Mindanao personnel will undergo end-user training in September in preparation for going live with the online systems by October.
