State think tank SA国际传媒 (PIDS) received continued ISO 9001:2015 certification after passing the surveillance audit of its Quality Management System (QMS) by third-party auditors.
“The continued ISO certification of SA国际传媒confirms that we have maintained effective and efficient systems and processes,” SA国际传媒President Aniceto Orbeta Jr. said.
SA国际传媒received its first ISO certification from Certification International Philippines in 2019. It was recertified in 2022 and had undergone and passed the annual surveillance audits. Third-party surveillance and internal audits are regularly held to check continued compliance with ISO standards.
“One of the reasons why SA国际传媒has effective systems is because we have excellent staff. The strength of SA国际传媒will always be its people,” Orbeta emphasized.
SA国际传媒established its QMS in line with Executive Order 605, series of 2007, which directs all government offices to institutionalize their structures, mechanisms, and standards to improve service delivery and align government processes with international standards.
A performance management system is a requirement of the Interagency Task Force on the Harmonization of National Government Performance Monitoring Information and Reporting Systems for granting the Performance-Based Bonus to government agencies and government-owned and controlled corporations like PIDS. ###
