Rationale Advocacy for time consciousness and honesty are a significant campaign for core development of individuals specifically to our University. If everyone is punctual and honest there will be a concomitant valuing for self-respect and for respecting others’ time. These values cannot be taught but they can be caught by simply modeling the practice and making it a habit. Awareness of the benefits we can derive from being a WATCH implementer is basically the end goal in establishing a WATCH University. II. Vision It is envisioned that through this advocacy, the University will become the “premiere tertiary education institution that practices punctuality and honesty that identifies and develops potential leaders of the community who will serve and lead with positive work, time consciousness and social values and genuine service for the people in the community.” III. Objectives To know and understand the value of punctuality in the context of the development of a better Filipino character; To cherish and value punctuality as an integral part of a true Filipino; and To stimulate self-discipline and time consciousness not only to the students but to the whole community of the University. To value the importance of time in relation with the recently implemented Philippine Standard Time.
