THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I am very pleased with the product of the long and hard labor poured by the framers
and developers of this PSITE Manual of Operations. It was indeed a difficult
task. But as Publius Syrushas said, “the sweetest pleasure arises from difficulties
overcome.”
It is my fervent hope that over the next years, the officers and members of PSITE,
national and regional, will be guided by the contents of this manual. After 15 years,
as we enter new chapters and challenging years for PSITE, I am continually seeing members who have the drive
and enthusiasm to pursue and attain the goals and objectives of the organization. This gives me a more positive
outlook and confidence that PSITE will be stronger as an organization and will have its own place towards nation
building.
My sincere gratitude to the Manual of Operations Committee, chaired by Dr. Grace F. Tyler. Thanks too to the
officers and members of PSITE who, in one way or another, contributed to the manual.
Mabuhay!
Randy S. Gamboa, Ph.D

President, PSITE

PSITE THROUGH THE YEARS
The Philippine Society of Information Technology Educators Foundation, Inc. (PSITE) is an organization
with four types of memberships, namely, enterprise, institutional, individual, and honorary. Enterprise membership
is for any private or government corporation, organization, association, society, group, agency, or office. On the
other hand, institutional membership is for any institution offering CHED or TESDA approved programs in
Information Technology Education (ITE) or Department of Education (DepEd) courses, or any private or
government IT training and/or research center. Both enterprise and institutional members shall have two authorized
voting representatives. Individual membership is for any teacher, researcher, trainer and/or consultant who utilizes
IT in the development and delivery of education. Moreover, any individual who practices IT and who expresses a clear
interest in IT education is eligible for membership. Honorary membership is awarded to individuals in recognition of
exemplary achievements, services, or philanthropy in the field of IT Education. This includes past Presidents of
PSITE provided they have not committed acts in violation of the rules and purposes of the Society.
The organization aims to promote quality Information Technology Education in the country through
workshops, seminars, industry-academe, benchmarking activities, and programs designed to benefit its members and
the academic sector in general. PSITE Foundation was granted the certificate of incorporation by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC Reg. No. A199901393) on March 31,1999 (Appendix A). The official address of the
organization is within the National Capital Region.
The general objective of the Society shall be the promotion of quality Information Technology (IT)
Education. Specifically, the Society shall serve as a venue for the optimization and development of faculty
members, curricula, projects, research, resources, linkages, and assistance in policy formulation related to IT
education. Since its inception, the organization has been led by competent and dynamic IT academe/industry
professionals as shown below:

PSITE has fourteen regional chapters, more than 100 enterprise/
institutional members, and 1,000 individual members. Each chapter provides
seminars and workshops, fora, tie-ups with industry practitioners, and
programs for professional, technological, pedagogical, and personal/social
development of its members. The national coverage of PSITE is depicted in
its logo.
The leadership of the current president, Dr. Randy S. Gamboa focused on a) Partnership, Education,
Extension, and Research (PEER), b) Peer-to-PEER, and c) PReParE for Organizational Development (OD). As
written in his President’s Report (February 2012), “PEER-to-PEER is like a big brother – small brother concept.”
The first PEER refers to individuals and institutions, helping one another to achieve a common goal. “The
second PEER is a mnemonic. It stands for Partnership, Education, Extension and Resear ch. The Peer-to-
PEER agenda address our triad function of Research, Curriculum and Instruction, and Extension and Linkag-
es” (Appendix B). Thus, he spearheaded the crafting of the Vision-Mission-Values written down as follows:
Vision
The premier national IT Professional organization transforming
the academic community that enables and sustains the growth
of a knowledge-driven Philippine economy.
Mission
We are committed to providing opportunities for the development
of its members through:
 Strong community and Partnership involvement with the education providers, industry, government,
non-government agencies, and international counterparts
 Dynamic and responsive Educational initiatives for an enhanced academic standard
 Relevant community Extension and immersion programs
 Aggressive building of Research capability and effective mentoring system
Values
Professionalism
Ethics
Service orientation
Passion for teaching and learning
Passion for lifelong learning
These statements were drafted during the operational planning held in Angeles City, Pampanga on April
28-30, 2011 by the PSITE National Board of Trustees, together with the Regional Chapter Presidents.

The organization’s PARTNERSHIP initiatives enabled PSITE to strengthen its linkages with government
agencies, industry partners, and educational institutions. Through the years, PSITE has been recognized as a
professional organization. PSITE officers and members are invited by the Commission on Higher Education
(CHED) to sit as members of the Technical Panel in Information Technology Education (TPITE).
The organization’s EDUCATION efforts could be seen in the series of faculty development sessions held
in different regional chapters. Latest trends in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and strategies
for enhancing the pedagogical skills of the faculty are among the topics in organization-sponsored conferences
and conventions. The PSITE National Board of Trustees has also conducted international benchmarking
activities, including visits to universities and industry partners in Singapore (2012) and Hongkong (2013).
Furthermore, regional chapter officers conduct local and foreign benchmarking trips on their own initiative.
EXTENSION endeavor s of the or ganization ar e seen in the following, among other s:

a) development of an Information Technology Education or ITE Reference Guide and Practicum Manual, and b)
attending to the needs of PSITE members affected by natural and man-made calamities.
In the area of RESEARCH, a Research Manual was developed and distributed to the different regional
chapters. The manual is a good reference, not only to sharpen the research skills of the faculty, but also as a
teaching tool.
SY 2012-2013 marks the beginning of the “PReParE for Organizational Development (OD)” thrust of the
present leadership. Hence, this manual of operations is crafted for standardization and dissemination of policies
and procedures.
In May 2013, the strategic plan developed in 2011 was evaluated (Appendix C).

Furthermore, the National Board maintains a PSITE website (www.psite.ph) for an effective
dissemination of information to officers and members. The same holds true for each Regional
Chapter.

APPENDIX B PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS IN FEBRUARY 2012
PSITE AS A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION
14th PSITE National Convention (February 23-25, 2012, Country Homes and Convention Center, General
Santos City)
Thank you for that kind introduction. Magandang GENSAN!.
Ladies and gentlemen, before anything else, I would like to enjoin everybody for a minute of silent prayer for
our PSITE members and all those who were affected by typhoon Sendong. May those who have lost homes
and properties find shelter, enough food, and clean water. May the Lord comfort those who are traumatized
and those who are grieving for the loss of their families, neighbors, and friends. May our great Healer bless
those who are sick and injured that their health may be restored.
Let me start by saying thank you to the PSITE National Board for having been very supportive and active
these past years. We couldn’t have achieved what we achieved now if not for their willingness to serve the
organization. As you may have already known, our thrust for this year was OD or Organizational
Development. So, this is a presentation and president’s report-rolled into one.
PSITE, as a national organization, is a growing organization. Winston Churchill once said “the farther
backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.” So let me bring you to memory lane when PSITE
was conceptualized up to the present. Therefore the outline of my presentation is as follows.
History of PSITE
PSITE was born out of the prodding of the Technical Panel for Information Technology Education (TPITE)
headed by Dr. Paulino Y. Tan to organize a professional group of Information Technology Educators (ITE)
in 1996.
Bounded by a common dream for quality IT education in the country, the group had enduring series of
planning workshops and meetings. Finally, PSITE became a formal organization of IT Educators in 1997.
Ms. Fe Ferriols became the President of the pioneering PSITE group. Monthly Seminars and workshops
were offered to IT Educators through the generosity of donors and sponsors. Recognizing the difficulty of
many higher education institutions to sponsor quality trainings in IT education, the organization offers free if
not highly subsidized workshop and training. With the overwhelming response of educators in the country
and able to benefit more educators in the different parts of the country, chaptering was inevitable. Guidelines
on chaptering were formulated in year 2000. Davao was the first recognized regional chapter in the same
year.
32
Years after, several chapters were formed. Monthly seminars and workshops were held by the regional
chapters. National conventions were then organized every year. These were mostly the activities of PSITE.
The PSITE family has grown, as now it has its presence in almost all regions in the country, thereby making
PSITE as the biggest IT organization in the country today.
2009 – Setting a Direction
Having been elected as President in 2009, I accepted the big responsibility because I know it will be such a
challenging role that I will play. In my own little way, I was hoping to contribute to PSITE’s goal of
furthering IT education in the country. Education is not an easy task, especially in these modern times when
rapid changes happen at the blink of an eye. I saw that PSITE will face many more and bigger challenges. It
is for this reason that I said we should all PReParE. According to American author H. Jackson Brown Jr., the
best preparation for tomorrow is doing the best today.
By the word PReParE, I did not only mean getting ready for something. I coined this as an acronym which will
reflect the thrust and framework of PSITE. Prepare is P-Re-Par-E. P stands for Professionalism. Re for
Research, Par stands for Partnership. And E for the very purpose of our organization, which is Education.
So PReParE means Professionalism, Research, Partnership and Education.
2010 – Setting a Direction
In 2010. I was re-elected as President. Now that we are PReParEd, PSITE went Peer-to- PEER. 2010 was
anchored on a Peer-to- PEER principle. It is like a small brother – big brother concept. Like the PReParE
agenda, the second PEER is a mnemonic. It stands for Partnership, Education, Extension and Research. The
Peer-to- PEER agenda addresses our triad function of Research, Curriculum and Instruction, and Extension
and Linkages.
So PReParE and Peer-to- PEER became PSITE’s thrust for 2009 and 2010, respectively, in which the regional
chapters also adopted. This developed a culture change in PSITE and paradigm shift in the thrusts and
activities.
There were several “firsts” in those times. Let me line up some of those:
1. In 2009, during the 11th National Convention held in Dipolog, it was the first time that we had plenary
session with reactors.
2. It was also the first time that best practices from all over the Philippines were presented in the fields of
research, extension and instruction.
33
3. We also increased the duration of the sessions to take up organizational matters in order for the national
PSITE to further touch base with the different regions.
4. In the 2009 convention, there were tarpaulins prepared by different regions to showcase their activities for
the past five years. The JEDI night was held outside the convention area, and that was in Dakak, with all the
fireworks and festivity.
5. For the first time that we had a pre-NCITE conference in 2009 which is related to our research agenda.
Presented were model research frameworks, advising and manuscript templates for BSCS, BSIT and BSIS,
coupled with best practices in those fields. The NCR research capability building framework was also
presented.
6. It was also the first time that there was a student presenter during the NCITE conference.
7. In October 2010, the first time that NCITE is held outside the school and still hosted by a school, the Aklan
Catholic College.
8. Awarding of honorary membership to Naveen Asrani in recognition for his exceptional and unselfish
services and support to the PSITE’s vision and mission.
9. Singapore Benchmarking Activity last January 2011 with the National Board and some regional presidents
and members. We were particularly interested in pursuing a “close range” understanding of the Singapore
Academic Ecosystems with emphasis in institutions offering computing course and how they established
linkage with industries both local and global. Schools visited were Nanyang Polytechnic and National
University of Singapore. We also meet with Adobe-Singapore executives for a possible cooperation and
partnership.
10. During the National Convention in 2011, we subsidized the registration fee (Php 300,000.00)
11. We had the President’s night, were we acknowledged the contribution of the former PSITE National
presidents (Ms. Fe Ferriols, Sir Glenn Sipin, Sir Leo Querubin, Sir Ben Teehankee, Sir Boogie Boydon, Sir
Jimmy Caro, Sir Dio Calumpit, Sir Alex Ybasco and Ms. Nancy Flores)
12. First automated election of the PSITE national board
13. And more significantly, it was the first time that a member outside of Luzon got to be elected as President of
PSITE National. The first Garden induction of the PSITE national board was held in UP-Hotel.
As Bill Gates said, “As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others”.
With these thrusts as the direction of PSITE, we were able to do the following
ITE Undergraduate Research and Capstone Project Manual

We had series of meetings and workshops toward coming up with a framework for the ITE Undergraduate
Thesis and Capstone Project. Our project of coming up with a Framework for practicum was finally finished.
34
In this convention, institutional members who are present will receive a complimentary copy of the ITE
Undergraduate Research and Capstone Project Manual.
PSITE Constitution and By-Laws (CBL)/PSITE Logo and Website

In line with Professionalism is proper documentation. One of the documents that needed to be reviewed is the
PSITE CBL. Series of meetings were held and at one point, invited Peach Tinio, one of the original framers of
the CBL. The CBL was then ratified in 2010. We also revived our website with a new url(www.psite.ph) and
a new face. I encourage you to visit our website. We also made our new logo, customized to depict our
coverage.
PSITE as recognized by CHED

PSITE was again recognized as a professional organization and was invited by CHED to endorse IT educators
as TPITE members in the pursuit of strengthening the role in assisting them to formulate policies and
standards. It is with great pride that our members will be part of TPITE. Also, most, if not all of our
conventions and conferences were endorsed by CHED.
PSITE Partners
PSITE wouldn’t accomplish much without collaborating efforts with partners. Our partners are the following:
Sun Microsystems, Inc - We had an OpenJive Challenge last July, 2009. The objective of the challenge is to
drive students’ passion and enthusiasm for innovation through the use of Open Source technologies such as
Java Technology, JavaFX, NetBeans IDE, OpenSolaris, MySQL, Glass Fish, Project Wonderland,Zembly and
many others to develop cutting-edge applications for desktop, web or mobile, that will address key issues that
organizations face today, while fostering interactivity between communities on the Internet.
UP-ITTC - We actively participated and shared our expertise and human resources during Y4IT, were some
of the PSITE Board Members and Regional Presidents served as Speakers.
DeVcon - We signed a memorandum of agreement with DeVcon. With the goal of increasing the quality and
quantity of the supply of software development engineering talent for the Philippines, Developers Connect
(DEVCON) and PSITE agreed to cooperate in conducting nationwide DEVCON activities within the
constituents covered by PSITE and its local affiliations.
ADOBE – We also partnered with ADOBE. With this partnership, members of PSITE are given marked
down prices of their products and services. Many of our members benefitted from this partnership.
A MOA Signing was held again with IBM, DEVCON, ADOBE, UP-ITTC, Microsoft during the 13th national
convention in Antipolo last year.
Seminars/Workshops
We held a Faculty Development workshops at the Crowne Regency Hotel and Enverga university last October
and December of 2009 with Mr. Oliver Malabanan as resource speaker. This is a training workshop on IT
course design and teaching strategies. Other seminar workshops were organized and conducted by the
regional chapters. Others might find it very trivial to have this
35
kind of trainings. However, we noted that more or less 80% of the not so matured schools need this kind of
trainings. And this is the essence of Peer-to- PEER, taking cognizance of the concerns of our peers.
PSITE and NCITE Conventions

The conventions that we held for the past three years are:
11th PSITE National Convention, Febraury 26-28, 2009, Dipolog City
12th PSITE National Convention, February 24-27, 2010, Bohol
13th PSITE National Convention, February 16-19, 2010, MMLDC, Antipolo
NCITE 2009, October 21-23, 2009, Cagayan de Oro City
NCITE 2010, October 20-22, 2010 in Boracay, Malay, Aklan
NCITE 2011, October 27-29, 2011, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan
On top of these, we were able to visit other regional chapters (NCR, Regions 1,2,3,4,7 and 12)
PSITE Social Responsibility

PSITE has not been only very technical. We also took care of the social needs of our members. A very noble
act by PSITE was the donation of more than sixty thousand pesos (P60,000.00) for the typhoon victims of
Ondoy and Pepeng in Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, CAR and NCR. This is the first time that PSITE extended this kind of
help to its members. In December last year, we extended fifty thousand pesos (P50,000.00) for the victims of
Typhoon Sendong in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan Cities. PSITE –NCR and PSITE- XII also did share 10
thousand each. This is the first time that PSITE regional chapters extended this kind of help to its fellow
regional members. On December 11, 2011, we had our Joint PSITE National Board and Regional Presidents
meeting and Christmas party coupled with an Outreach program at the Munting Tahananng Nazareth (Home
for the Poor, Abandoned, Handicapped and Special Children) were we donated fifteen thousand pesos
(P15,000.00) aside from food and supplies.
With these PReParE and Peer-to- PEER agenda, at the back of my mind were the PSITE objectives which are
found in our constitution and by-laws. Section 2.1 provides that “the general objective of this Society shall be
the promotion of quality information technology (IT) education. The specific objective is found in Section 2.2
which states that “this Society shall serve as a venue for the optimization and development of faculty members,
curricula, projects, research, resources, linkages, and assistance in policy formulation related to IT education.”
After implementing something new, several firsts, several changes in the organization, we went away from
status quo. We embarked into programs and projects which were not done before. We implemented systems
and policies, and changed the mindset of the regional chapters in the
36
formulation of the programs and activities. We reviewed and amended our very constitution and by-laws. After
analyzing and looking at it on a macro level, the process of change that we did was not systematic. Though we
attained a high level of attainment to most of our projects, we could have done more. And many could have
participated in the process.
With this in mind, we thought of holding an organizational development process or commonly known as OD. OD
is a process of improving our organization and a systematic process of change. According to Killion and Harrison,
organizational development requires a planned approach to change based on meeting the needs of both the people
and the organization. So, we underwent an organizational development process facilitated by our interval Vice
President, Ms. Grace F. Tyler. There was a presentation by Ms. Tyler about Organization Development. This was
followed by revisiting what PSITE now has. Then we did SWOT analysis, did fish bone analysis, and other OD
tools. With the OD meetings and workshops, we took a look at our mandate, came up with our vision, mission,
values and goals. We went to the level of identifying the activities, and other details such as the timeframe,
responsible persons, etc.)
Hence, the following are the part of the results of the workshop:
Vision
The premier national information technology professional organization transforming the academic
community that enables and sustains the growth of a knowledge-driven Philippine economy
Mission
We are committed in providing opportunities for the development of our members through:
 Strong community and Partnership involvement with the education providers, industry, government,
non-government agencies and international counterparts.
• Dynamic and responsive Educational initiatives for an enhanced academic standard.
• Relevant community Extension and immersion programs
• Aggressive building of Research Capability and effective mentoring system.
With OD in mind, we tried to look at the status of the regional chapters and took note of Regions 1 and 2 who has
not been active for years now. Hence, in August and September we revived these regional chapters.
The time horizon of our plans and programs is three years. And I hope the leadership of PSITE in the coming
three years will align itself to the three-year plan that the group started.
Again, I would like to emphasize that PSITE is here to further IT education in the Philippines. We strive to be a
medium for development and growth of the IT Educators in the country. With great
37
passion for the formation of the young and updating the not-so-young, PSITE members take the challenge to
produce competent and skilful IT professionals who are endowed with social and corporate responsibility at par
with other IT graduates in the global world. The challenge maybe great, but PSITE will take it in stride.
We have done much, and, together, with our concerted efforts, we, PSITE as a national organization, can do much
more, bring our organization to the highest level of service as possible to achieve our mission and vision, and
succeed. As Henry Ford said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”
And finally, GenSan is such a wonderful place to live, to have a vacation and also hold convention. Let us make
the most of our stay in this beautiful City of GenSan, also known as the home of the best Tuna in the Philippines
where residents are proud to say that seafoods are fresher when it comes from their beloved city, so let us pamper
ourselves with fresh tuna and other seafoods delight.
Good afternoon
