The De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute (DLSMHSI) Academic Administrators gathered for the Academic Services Administrators General Assembly (ASAGA) 2025 held on October 6–7, 2025, at One Tagaytay Hotel Suites, Tagaytay City. The event revolved around the theme, “Leading with Purpose: Advancing Excellence through Innovation, Quality, and Collaboration.”

The event was graced by our President, Dr Antonio B. Ramos;  Chancellor, Mr. Ferdinand L. Berba; and Vice Chancellor for Academics, Dr. Naomi M. de Aro, who shared inspiring messages that set the tone for two days of learning, collaboration, and reflection.


Day 1 featured insightful sessions, including the Keynote Talk on
“Lasallian Transformative Leadership in a Disruptive Era: Shaping the Future of Academic Administration” delivered by Br. Luis Angelo E. Enriquez FSC. The talk explored the essence of Lasallian leadership amid rapid educational and societal changes. This was followed by a Plenary on “Future-Ready Education: Curriculum Innovation and Digital Transformation for Academic Excellence” by Dr. Ricarte A. Gapuz, Jr. Dr. Gapuz highlighted the evolving landscape of higher education and the critical role of digital transformation in ensuring relevance, engagement, and excellence in teaching and learning. The evening wrapped up with a lively fellowship night that celebrated collaboration and camaraderie filled with singing, dancing, games, and a showcase of talents from our fellow administrators.


On the second day of the ASAGA, areas of much importance to DLSMHSI were discussed such as AI policy, quality assurance, and internationalization. 


Dr. Reynaldo G. Cruz's
"Consultation and Orientation on XAI-Powered IQA (QualiAx) and Revised AI Policy" reminded the administrators on the ethical use of AI to ensure that the institution's standards and values as well as the laws will be upheld despite the growing trends in AI development for business and education. The assembly was able to reach a consensus on procedures, acceptable use, incident reporting and escalation, compliance and accountability, as well as feedback and review. In addition, Dr. Cruz also discussed the QualiAx Project which is an AI-powered IQA system which helps in achieving a more efficient and predictive instead of reactive quality assurance. 


The final plenary session,
“Internationalization in Health Sciences Education: Opportunities, Challenges, and Innovation,” delivered by Dr. Pelagio C. Labang, Jr., highlighted the benefits, challenges, and future directions of internationalization, as well as opportunities for DLSMHSI students and faculty in global education and research.


Overall, the second day was instructive and beneficial for the administrators who attended as the content discussed will motivate and inspire continuous improvement in the administration of the Academic Services.
