On 26 October 2015, SEARCA through the Project Development and Technical Services (PDTS) Unit conducted the KM Audit at the PCC in Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU), Laoag, Ilocos Norte. In attendance were the PCC Director, Dr. Grace Recta, three regional coordinators and four other regular staff. The KM Audit facilitated by Ms. Nancy Landicho, PDTS Program Specialist, focused on the areas of operation of the center. All participants gave their narratives on the common problems that they encountered – in both technical and administrative aspects, and expressed their capacity building needs. Moreover, each participant accomplished the KM assessment survey, which will be used in formulating the PCC KM strategy and program. The project team was also given a tour on the operations facility of the center. Dr. Lope B. Santos III, PDTS OIC and Program Specialist and Ms. Sarah Quiñones, PDTS Project Associate were also present in the activity.
