About KABaNata

A project of PUP's Finance Sector, built to make budget literacy something every employee has access to — not just the people who work in finance.

Why this exists

Budget questions at a university this size never really stop: what OOE code covers this purchase, how is a travel claim computed, which circular applies. Those answers used to live across scattered folders, printed circulars, and long email threads.

KABaNata brings them into one place — a reference library, a set of working calculators, and, more recently, an AI assistant that can answer in the moment instead of after a days-long back-and-forth.

P.R.I.N.C.E.S.S.

PUP Resource Intelligence for Navigating Campus Expenditure and Strategic Spending. It's an AI assistant trained on the university's own circulars, OOE tables, and procurement references, built so staff can ask a budget question in plain English or Filipino and get a sourced answer.

PRINCESS runs on Open WebUI and is maintained by the Budget Services Office. It supplements — not replaces — the judgment of Accounting and Budget Services staff on any final figure.
