Theextension services were issue-oriented and development-focused, to meet its minimum requirement as a truly transformative force. This descriptive study determined the influence of the networking skills of the deans, directors, and program implementers on the quality of the organizational linkages in selected state universities and colleges (SUCs) in the CALABARZON area, Philippines. It was found that the organizational linkages were highly and effectivelyimplemented in the SUCs.

Capacitybuilding and network and alliance building was influenced by the program implementers? leadership skilland power and influence. It was concluded in the study that the organizational linkages, that were of high quality, enabled the SUCs to build their good imageand reputation.
