Dr.
Dexter Buted said that in year 2013 the
nine campuses university’s coffer slumped with four hundred thousand pesos
deficit.
In
2014 it earned a measly P1.8 million from revenues like tuition fees, books,
and others.
He
said he arrived here as president in December 2014.
“From 2015 it has an
income generation of P11.3 million. Dapat ang Kapitolyo hinahanap noon ang pera
ng PSU. Bakit meron kami P11.3 million for less than a year?” he stressed.
He hit a certain Lanie Montemayor and Professor Cabansag who regularly and scathingly
criticized him in their bloc time radio program at 3 pm daily at 89.3 FM
News.
He
said Montemayor’s beef with him was because he did not renew the teaching stint
of the former instructor.
Montemayor,
Buted cited, was not a master’s degree holder, while Professor Cabansag was persuaded
by his collegues to resign because of the corruption issues
hurled against him.
“Una. puntahan natin si
Professor Cabansag. Professor Cabansag is now with the Capitol. Why? Natangal po
siya sa PSU. Bakit? Because of corruption. Madami kami pang bala na puwedeng
gamitin sa kanila!”
Buted
laughed off the corruption issues hurled by the duo and other critics in a
video in social media.
“Ano ang corruption doon? May ninakaw ba si Dr. Buted?” he posed to media men who attended the press conference he called at the library of the campus.
He
said during his stint, all the revenues from the tuition, uniforms, books, and
others were duly receipted and the monies he funneled straight to the school’s
treasury.
He
added that his presidency was not a result of political intercession by some powerful
people to cater for their interest.
Buted
explained that he wiggled into the eye of the neddle just to get his lofty
position.
“Dapat po ikaw ay morally upright
person, sunod dapat ikaw ay excellent sa iyong teaching profession. Ang minimum
requirements are 15 years. Sunod po another five years is you have an executive
position managing at least 15 employees. Next you should have published a
research, that you are a researcher, you published research in the
international community. I was able to present an international research in an
international forum”
He
added that the other requirements were one had stint uplifting the lives of
people and no cases at the Ombudsman, the Civil Service Commission, and any
courts in the country.
He
denied that he paid ten million pesos for the eight of the nine members of the
Board of Regents that voted him in his present post.
“How can I buy it? I am
only an ordinary person”.
Those
who voted for him were representatives of the Philippine Association of States
Universities and Colleges, private sector in Pangasinan, and Commission on
Higher Education, Student Regent, Senator Pia Cayetano, Congressman Roman Romulo,
Secretary of the Department of Science & Technology, Regional Director of
the National Economic Development Authority,and Regional Director of Agriculture.
Buted
denied that he bought for ten million pesos his election for the presidency of
the state university.
“How can I buy it? I am
only an ordinary person” he said.
