Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) President Dr. Wilfredo A. Dumale Jr. has been elected Vice President of the DOST-PCAARRD Graduate Alumni Association (DPGAA) Inc. for the term 2026–2027, a testament to his longstanding commitment to research, innovation, and alumni engagement at the national level.
The election took place during the 5th DPGAA Biennial Convention held on November 26–27, 2025 in Malay, Aklan, where members of the association gathered to elect new leaders and strengthen collaborative efforts for advancing research and development in the country.
Dr. Dumale, who has served as a member of the DPGAA Board of Directors for four years, brings with him a wealth of institutional leadership and deep experience in research-based governance.
His election as Vice President is both a recognition of his exemplary contributions and a vote of confidence from fellow alumni who value his vision for a stronger, more connected R&D community.
According to the DPGAA Inc.’s Constitution and By-Laws, the elected Vice President automatically becomes the next President; thus, Dr. Dumale is set to serve as Association President for 2028–2029.
The DPGAA Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit organization of DOST-PCAARRD graduate scholars based at the Innovation and Technology Center in Los Baños, Laguna. Registered with the SEC since 2017, the Association works to strengthen the research and development community by promoting knowledge exchange, supporting national R&D initiatives, building local and international linkages, and fostering camaraderie among its members.
