            "During my term, I would like to promote public service with a heart through good governance.I will also focus on the quadro-dimensional function of the campus Instruction,Research,Extension and Production so I will just anchor my plans to the goals of this campus".

             For the first two years in service, her first plan is to make a proposal on building additional classrooms and to have a repair and maintenance of the existing classrooms to accommodate the 3, 073 enrollees of the campus. She also highlighted the need of having laboratories and enough comfort rooms. For Research, Dr. Casa aims to develop a strategy of giving incentives to the faculty members who conducted, presented, and published their research to recognize their hard work. Further, she wants to encourage students to indulge in collaborative researches. Her wishes include developing an extension activity which is relevant, responsive and sustainable.

        Furthermore, she firmly believes that CapSU Pontevedra has the potential in the field of production since the campus has wider land area compared to the other campuses. “It is one way to strengthen the resource generation and an avenue to have a viable agro-industrial entrepreneurship. One of our goals is effective and efficient administration,” she added.

            “My dear students, rest assured that you are the number one priority of the strong teaching force of this campus. Just continue to adapt and adjust with our current situation because this pandemic will come to an end. Be safe and be healthy." Dr. Casa stated for inspiration.

Ayon kay Department of Agriculture (DA) Western Visayas Regional Executive Director Remelyn R. Recoter, ang pagdiriwang ay kasabay ng kasalukuyang sitwasyon ng lokal na industriya ng bigas matapos ang pagpasa ng Rice Liberalization Act.

“The government has lifted the importation ban to reduce the market price of rice. DA has aided rice farmers especially to those who have less than one-hectare farm,” aniya.

Kaugnay nito, upang hikayatin ang lahat na tangkilikin ang mga lokal na produkto ng bansa, nagsagawa ang DA ng ilang mga aktibidad na kasangkot ang mga magsasaka, kababaihan sa kanayunan at kabataan.
