Present during the MOA signing were BPSU President Dr. Delfin O. Magpantay and Super Trade Enterprises Manager Mr. Ryan Oliver Lim and Regional Manager Engr. Julius Michael Basangan.

The agricultural equipment were turned over to BPSU on 01 July 2010 at the BPSU Abucay Campus. Abucay Campus Director Mr. Herminio L. Miguel, faculty, staff, and students witnessed the event. The newly donated equipment are perceived to ensure the advancement of the knowledge of students on the operation and maintenance of different agricultural machinery used in the propagation of crops and livestock.
