Administrative Support Services Office (AdSSO)

Asset and Property Management Office

The Asset-Property Management Office anchors its operations on the following objectives:

• to enforce strict rules on maintaining discipline, order and cleanliness in the school campus;
• relevant to the use of the entire physical plant (all buildings; grounds / fields / gardens and driveways);
• to inculcate in the students and all users respect for and correct use of property to maintain its useful life as asset of/for the school;
• to ensure the safety and security of the educative body (personnel, students, parents, guests) while engaging in some form of activity within the school premises;
• to educate the entire Povedan community in caring and being responsible for the environment and property; and
• to empower students to be witnesses and good models who consciously and conscienciously abide by the rules of the school.

These objectives have been formulated in the concept of how the Teresian Association (TA) Founder, Saint Pedro Poveda, envisioned his TA Academias. The Academias were not just any ordinary centers: the idea is that students, teachers and professors would discover and experience the educative action as mission. The original and intended Povedan educative and pedagogical climate enables therefore the living out of a familial spirit making possible the formative growth and processual development of students, teachers, personnel: intellectually, emotionally, physically and culturally.

The Asset-Property Management Office fundamentally has the following functions:

1. On INVENTORY:

• • Centralized Resource Management and Systematized Utilities Management (SUM) following a general processual movement for the optimal life cycle use or useful life (from procurement to disposition) of its asset and property.
  • Systematized implementation of the Asset Life Cycle Management Policies through the customized ITEC Computerized Library of Asset and Inventory Management (iCLAIM) System.

2. On PROCUREMENT:

• • Coordinated planning and budgeting of property (equipment) with other departments to avoid repetition and wastage.
  • Seamless / shortened channeling and processing of requests (purchasing and procurement) through proper coordination and full utilization of iCLAIM (asset-inventory-procurement system)
