In a significant step toward strengthening labor relations and employee welfare, Negros Oriental State University (NORSU) and the NORSU Administrative Personnel Union (NAPU) have entered into a new Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) for 2026.

The agreement serves as a formal commitment to uphold the constitutional rights of government workers to self-organization and collective bargaining. It establishes a collaborative framework between the university administration and its non-teaching personnel to negotiate terms and conditions of employment.

The signing ceremony, held in the NORSU Main Campus Board Room, was attended by key university officials and union representatives:

For the University: Dr. Noel Marjon E. Yasi, University President.
For the Union: Mr. Reymil T. Cadapan, MBA, Union President.

The signing was witnessed by NAPU Vice-Presidents representing NORSU’s various campuses:
Main Campus: Alan F. Alagarmo
Guihulngan Campus: Emmy Lou A. Ubat
Bais Campuses: Alejandro D. Cueva
Bayawan City-Sta. Catalina Campus: Annabelle E. Reyes
Siaton Campus: Maria Lilibeth K. De La Peña
Mabinay Campus: Darren B. Garsula

The CNA reinforces NORSU’s dedication to its administrative staff, ensuring they remain integral participants in the university’s policy making and growth. A copy of the Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) is included in this post.
