A grant from University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society in America (UPMASA) in the sum of 1.2 million pesos was given to the UP Visayas University Library in order to establish the UPV Archives Section in the new UPV Library structure.

Additionally, the grant will be used to acquire a DLSR camera and digitization equipment to preserve and digitize old documents.
A partial release of check amounting to 299,000.00 pesos was handed over by Atty. Rene John V. Nuñez, President, UPAA Iloilo Chapter to Mr. Rex B. Rodriguez, contractor.
