The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) included research and production as two (2) of the functions of higher education.  In its CHED Memorandum Order (CMO) Number 15 series of 2019, CHED fully integrated the research and production functions as part of the skills and competencies to be honed among the students in the Graduate Studies education; thus, the CMO required the graduate students to present a research work in local and international conferences, and later on, submit their paper for publication in peer-reviewed journal. Hence strengthening the niche as a research haven, a private Catholic university in the City of Malolos, Bulacan commenced the holding of research activities at the Graduate Studies Department during the Third Trimester of School Year 2021-2022.  The main concern of the study was the assessment of the effect of the Research and Creative Works Colloquium on the research performance of the Master’s and Doctorate students.  The researchers aimed to generate data which hoped to be the basis of a proposed enhancement on the Research and Creative Works Colloquium.  The study utilized a descriptive-correlational quantitative research approach and universal sampling.
