BPI Asset Management and Trust Corp. (BPI AMTC) is now headed by Maria Theresa D. Marcial, with her appointment taking effect on June 15. She is taking over the post of previous BPI AMTC President and CEO Shiela Marie U. Tan who headed the BPI unit since 2018. “It is an honor to take charge of a company with an unrelenting commitment to provide the investing public with the best options and services that will help them build wealth and reach their goals. Looking ahead, we will continue to pursue excellence in fund management and steer towards the direction of shared success,” Ms. Marcial was quoted as saying in a BPI statement. Ms. Marcial has more than 25 years of experience in the financial services industry, specifically in the fields of strategic planning and finance, corporate banking, debt and equity capital markets, and investment management and trust. She was previously chief finance officer, chief sustainability officer, and head of Strategy and Finance at BPI, where she was responsible for strategic planning, accounting, financial control, capital management, balance sheet analytics, corporate legal affairs and litigation, and investor relations, BPI said. She also held leadership roles at the Fund Managers Association of the Philippines, Trust Officers Association of the Philippines, Capital Markets Development Committee of the Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines, Market Governance Board of Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corp., and the National Advisory Council of World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Philippines. Ms. Marcial obtained her master’s degree in Economics in 1995 from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman after taking up BS Economics and graduating cum laude from UP Los Baños in 1990.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/abs-cbn-news-chief-ging-reyes-named-2022-southeast-asia-laureate-for-wan-ifra-women-in-news-editorial-leadership/ | ABS-CBN News chief Ging Reyes named 2022 Southeast Asia Laureate for WAN-IFRA Women in News Editorial Leadership – UP Alumni Website | ABS-CBN News chief Ging Reyes named 2022 Southeast Asia Laureate for WAN-IFRA Women in News Editorial Leadership September 30, 2022 Jeff Canoy, ABS-CBN News Regina ‘Ging’ Reyes, head of ABS-CBN Integrated News MANILA — ABS-CBN News chief Regina “Ging” Reyes has been recognized by a global network of news publishers for her “exceptional contribution to the newsroom, editorial integrity, and outstanding leadership.” Reyes was named the 2022 Southeast Asia Laureate for Women in News Editorial Leadership by the World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) on Thursday, September 29 in Zaragoza, Spain. The Women in News Editorial Leadership Award recognizes “the exemplary contribution of a leader to her newsroom, and under her leadership, her media organization’s contribution to society.” One “exceptional” editorial leader each from Africa, the Arab Region, and Southeast Asia is named Laureate, annually. The 74-year-old WAN-IFRA is an organization whose members represent news organizations across 120 countries and whose mission is to uphold the rights of journalists worldwide. Along with Reyes, Zimbabwe Independent’s first woman editor Faith Zaba and Diana Moukalled, co-founder of independent media platform Daraj.com, were also named Laureates for 2022. “Equality and inclusion in the media are essential for a healthy and representative society. We are happy to welcome our 2022 laureates, Zaba, Moukalled and Reyes, to the group of media leaders who play an exceptional role in making a difference in media while contributing to these fundamental ideals.,” WAN-IFRA CEO Vincent Peyregne said in his congratulatory message during the awarding of the 2022 Laureates. Reyes was awarded on the second day of the 2022 World News Media Congress, an annual gathering of global news leaders, in Zaragoza. King Felipe VI of Spain attended the Congress where he also led the awarding of the 2022 Golden Pen of Freedom, an annual press freedom award, to Polish media outfit Gazeta Wyborcza Foundation for its contribution in safeguarding independent journalism. In her speech during the awarding ceremony, Reyes highlighted the need for journalists to continue doing the work amid attacks on press freedom across the world. “A fellow journalist recently told me that ‘we are an endangered species.’ I couldn’t help but feel sad and old. Some of our colleagues have taken a step back from journalism and are pursuing different career paths out of frustration, disappointment and uncertainty,” Reyes said. “We’ve been disrupted and we need to keep and regain the trust of our public. But we cannot give up on this profession. I feel a sense of urgency in the need to help our young journalists stay true to our mission. Even as we seek new ways of reaching audiences, the role of journalists in a democracy, the practice of truth-telling and the values that enable it, must be constant.” Reyes, 59, is the longest-serving news chief of media company ABS-CBN starting in 2010. Previously, she served as the organization’s North America Bureau chief from 2002-2010, founding bureau operations from the ground up. Reyes began her news career in ABS-CBN as a production assistant in 1986, as the country was regaining its democracy after years under martial law, and as the organization relaunched its operations after it was ordered shuttered by the government. She climbed the ranks, eventually becoming one the newsroom’s top editors and producers. She became the executive producer of the country’s longest running newscast, The World Tonight. In her leadership posts, Reyes ushered the newsroom’s transition into digital and multi-platform reporting as well as integrated news operations. She has mentored many young news producers and working journalists. In 2020, Reyes was the news head when ABS-CBN was once again ordered by the government to shut down its free-to-air broadcast operations after the company’s legislative franchise expired. During congressional hearings to renew the franchise, Reyes defended the importance of press freedom and the role of journalists in a free society. Lawmakers, however, ultimately revoked the application to renew the license. After ABS-CBN was removed from free-to-air television, activists and media observers described the order as one of the “worst attacks on press freedom” under the Duterte administration. The order resulted in ABS-CBN downsizing its operations but continued to report news on digital and cable platforms. Under her leadership, ABS-CBN remains one of the top news organizations in the country. During the ceremony, Reyes dedicated the award to the ABS-CBN newsroom. “This honor comes at a time when our news organization continues to be severely challenged on many fronts. I am deeply moved and humbled to receive this recognition on behalf of my entire news team, most especially the women in our newsroom and in the field. They are at the forefront of our battle to defend media freedom in our country and preserve the values of our profession. And I am here only because of their collective hard work and sacrifice,” Reyes said.

A life so beautifully lived, a smile no one can forget, the candidness that jolts, pricks, yet settles matters straight, and the bubbly talks that wipe away any moment of dullness, all these we cherish. You will be deeply remembered. May you rest in peace, Ma’am Dap. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 11-12 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot… He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. Source: UPLB Department of Social Forestry and Forest Governance |

The gumamela hybrid was formally presented to Borromeo on May 22 at the Diosdado Macapagal Hall, LANDBANK Plaza in Malate, Manila, where President Borromeo delivered her last State of the Bank Address. UPLB officials and researchers led by Chancellor Jose V. Camacho, Jr. were present during the awarding ceremony. Developed by IPB plant breeder Agripina Rasco, the hybrid Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Cecilia Cayosa Borromeo’ has delightfully radiant and captivating colors. Its large, thick bloom is accentuated by a jagged maroon core and thin lines running across soft lemon-yellow petals defined by darker hues along its edges. The Hibiscus rosa-sinensis ‘Cecilia Cayosa Borromeo’ is the latest addition to the “Women in Public Service Series” of the Hibiscus Breeding Program of IPB. Borromeo’s honoring with the hibiscus hybrid is in recognition of her efforts in developing and promoting programs that aim to help improve the lives of Filipino farmers and fisherfolk, particularly the institutionalization of farmers’ and fisherfolk’s access to credit and agri-preneurship programs. Borromeo is a graduate of the UPLB BS Agribusiness program. She was one of the recipients of the UP Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Award in May 2022.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/3-up-campuses-join-clamor-to-surface-missing-activists/ | 3 UP campuses join clamor to surface missing activists – UP Alumni Website | 3 UP campuses join clamor to surface missing activists May 26, 2023 By: Jethro Bryan Andrada, Justine Rhys Lawrence Martirez – @inquirerdotnet BAGUIO CITY – Three campuses of the University of the Philippines (UP) joined the growing clamor for the safe return of missing indigenous peoples’ rights activists Dexter Capuyan and Gene Roz Jamil “Bazoo” de Jesus, who went missing on April 28 in Taytay, Rizal. Capuyan, 56, and De Jesus, 27, both former students of UP Baguio, were allegedly abducted by men who introduced themselves as operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), according to witnesses. But CIDG had previously denied any involvement in the incident. “We urge all government and concerned agencies, specifically those that have already been approached by the families of Bazoo and Dexter, to exhaust all means and resources to fully address their disappearance,” UP Baguio said in a statement on Wednesday. De Jesus graduated cum laude when he earned his communication degree in 2016, while Capuyan was a former editor in chief of Outcrop, UP Baguio’s official student publication. Human rights advocates believe that the two are in government custody, noting that the police and military accused Capuyan of being a ranking officer of the Chadli Molintas Command of the New People’s Army operating in the Ilocos and Cordillera regions and having a P1.85-million bounty on his head. In separate statements on Tuesday, UP Cebu and UP Visayas likened the disappearance of Capuyan and De Jesus to the abduction of activists and UP Cebu alumni Dyan Gumanao and Armand Dayoha in Cebu City in January. Gumanao and Dayoha were later found after their captors abandoned them in Carmen, Cebu. “A society is never truly free if its activists and critics are subjected to constant harassment and must fear for their safety,” the statement from UP Visayas read. ‘Pattern of injustice’ “We call on our partners from all relevant agencies of government to help end this pattern of injustice…,” it added. UP Cebu Chancellor Leo Malagar described the pattern of harassment of activists as “unsettling.” “Enforced disappearances achieve nothing more than the erosion of the fabric of a democratic society. Silencing critics doesn’t support the aims of mainstream society; it only weakens our democracy,” Malagar said in a statement. Since Capuyan and De Jesus’ disappearance, a series of protests in Baguio and in the Philippine National Police Headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City, on May 15 were staged by their families and supporters to demand their release. A prayer vigil and a solidarity gathering were also held at UP Baguio on Tuesday. At the UP Baguio vigil, De Jesus’ mother, Mercedita, said: “Losing a child is not a joke. So, I hope the people who abducted them feel the lament of a mother and a child, that is Gabrielle (Capuyan’s daughter).” Source: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1774667/3-up-campuses-join-clamor-to-surface-missing-activists |

https://alum.up.edu.ph/aguirre-lis-stalwart-renaissance-woman/ | Aguirre: LIS stalwart, renaissance woman – UP Alumni Website | Aguirre: LIS stalwart, renaissance woman June 29, 2023 Anna Regidor – Diliman Information Office Aguirre. Photo from Santos’ Facebook account Lawyer, administrator, educator, and former dean of the UP Diliman (UPD) School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS) Vyva Victoria Aguirre passed away on June 12. A woman ahead of her time, Aguirre embodied a distinctive and invaluable set of knowledge and competencies integral to the complex societies of today with four degrees under her belt–a Bachelor of Laws, a Master of Laws, a master’s degree in library science, and a bachelor’s degree in foreign service. She began working as a library clerk at the UP Main Library in 1967, eventually becoming college librarian from 1983 to 2001. Aguirre ventured into law librarianship and contributed to legal bibliography through the bibliographic control tools of legal information resources she created, which promoted access to such collections. Aguirre was admitted to the bar in 1993 and served as a senior lecturer at the UPD College of Law from 1993 to 1999. She was the chief of staff of the Presidential Commission on Good Government from 2001 to 2003 and then a commissioner from 2003 to 2005. Armed with all these experiences, Aguirre officially became a full-time assistant professor at and college secretary of the SLIS in 2005. By the time she took over the deanship in 2008, Aguirre was ready and eminently qualified to steer the SLIS—which had just been elevated from an institute—to take its first steps towards embracing an interdisciplinary and broader information studies perspective outside of traditional librarianship. Under her watch, the SLIS expanded its course offerings, strengthened the faculty complement through recruitment and encouraging advanced studies, and promoted research. Fondly known at the SLIS as “Ma’am Vyva,” Aguirre guided generations of Bachelor of Library and Information Science and Master of Library and Information Science students towards various career paths, one of whom was SLIS professor and former college secretary Yhna Therese Santos, who paid tribute to Aguirre in a June 13 post. “I remember that back when I first started out as a full-time faculty member in SLIS, lunch time meant that I would have the privilege to hear Ma’am Vyva’s insightful stories about many things: life and the profession included. It was also during these lunches that she would occasionally offer me advice that encompassed both professional and personal aspects. These cherished memories will forever be etched in my heart, and I will be eternally grateful for the advice and motivation she gave me,” she wrote. Even after retirement in 2010 up until 2020, Aguirre worked with the SLIS as a senior lecturer of law librarianship, library management, and information law and ethics. On June 14, the SLIS held a celebration of life service in Aguirre’s memory at the Notre Dame De Vie Institute in Bulacan before she was interred on June 15.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/paj-fetes-2023-upaa-awardees/ | PAJ fetes 2023 UPAA Awardees – UP Alumni Website | PAJ fetes 2023 UPAA Awardees September 5, 2023 Written by Arlyn VCD Palisoc Romualdo UP President Angelo A. Jimenez (rightmost) leads the toast to the 2023 UP Alumni Association awardees (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) “To the best of the best of this University, our alumni, for representing our highest ideals and aspirations, for being true alumni of UP and sons and daughters of the Filipino nation which UP has dedicated to support and promote, cheers!” This was UP President Angelo A. Jimenez’ toast to the 2023 UP Alumni Association (UPAA) awardees during the dinner he hosted in their honor at Ang Bahay ng Alumni on August 16. The social event is usually held days before the actual awarding ceremony. This year, the ceremony was scheduled on August 19. Leading the 38 individual awardees were Most Distinguished Alumna, former Philippine Vice President Maria Leonor Gerona Robredo, and Most Distinguished Alumnus, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan. Four were recognized with UPAA Lifetime Distinguished Achievement Awards: National Scientist Lourdes J. Cruz, Dr. Nathaniel A. Einsiedel, Dr. Gisela Padilla Concepcion, and Engr. Rene Santiago. Twenty-nine were given the UPAA Distinguished Alumni Awards in various fields and disciplines, and three were recipients of the UPAA Presidential Awards. Ten families received the UPAA Multigenerational UP Alumni Family Awards—one with four generations of alumni and three with three generations of alumni. UP Epsilon Chi Fraternity Alumni, Inc. was cited with the UPAA Distinguished Service Award for an Alumni Chapter. 2023 UPAA Most Distinguished Alumna, former Philippine Vice President Maria Leoner Gerona Robredo talks about the “sense of home” that UP alumni feel when they meet other alumni, when they cheer for the UP Fighting Maroons, or when they gather in celebratory events such as the one hosted by the UP President. (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) “We may have different stories about our college experience and yet we are bound by a shared feeling—that sense of home when we talk about UP. This goes beyond every alumni homecoming or every other chance that we get to come back to our UP campus, wherever that may be in the country,” Robredo said in her message, which she had requested to deliver earlier than scheduled because she had to catch the bus to Naga in time for the commemoration of her husband’s death anniversary. Her husband was former Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo, who died in a plane crash on August 18, 2012. “What I have learned from this esteemed institution has greatly contributed to my professional formation as a public servant. . . I will forever be grateful to the University for molding me.”—2023 UPAA Most Distinguished Alumnus, National Economic Development Authority Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) Balisacan, on the other hand, said that he was “very fortunate” because UP gave him the “space, time, and resources, and privilege to pursue his academic interests freely.” He also encouraged his fellow awardees to “continue striving towards our ultimate vision for the nation, continue striving to attain that excellence with honor, and continue being active participants in our country’s development journey.” UP President Angelo A. Jimenez delivers a brief address before toasting to the awardees. (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) “Have we fulfilled our promise as the best and the brightest?” Jimenez posed this question in his speech, saying that UP has lasted more than a hundred years and yet “we find our society still faced with so many challenges.” This prompted him and his team to envision UP as “a national university dedicated to producing good citizens and leaders, and engaged in knowledge co-creation towards a just, equitable, and prosperous society.” His emphasis on the production of good citizens is a dramatic shift from expected visions of UP as a great university or as a regional and global center of excellence. UPAA President and Alumni Regent Robert Lester F. Aranton starts the short program with his opening remarks.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/ai-powered-baybayin-translator-being-developed-by-up-mathematicians/ | AI-powered Baybayin translator being developed by UP mathematicians – UP Alumni Website | AI-powered Baybayin translator being developed by UP mathematicians July 11, 2023 by Eunice Jean Patron, UPD-CS SciComm Filipino mathematicians have just invented a computerized method for converting entire paragraphs and even full documents written in the ancient Filipino Baybayin writing system into text that even non-native readers can easily understand. And they’re now hard at work developing a full two-way translator. By combining mathematics and technology, scientists from the University of the Philippines – Diliman College of Science Institute of Mathematics (UPD-CS IM) have made what is likely the world’s first paragraph-level optical character recognition (OCR) system that can distinguish between entire blocks of Baybayin and Latin characters in a text image. Thousands of images, months of hard work In their paper entitled “Block-level Optical Character Recognition System for Automatic Transliterations of Baybayin Texts Using Support Vector Machine,” masters student Rodney Pino and associate professors Dr. Renier Mendoza and Dr. Rachelle Sambayan developed an algorithm to convert a photograph of a set of text into binary data, which is then run through a support vector machine (SVM) character classifier to automatically determine whether the characters are Baybayin or Latin. “SVM is a machine learning algorithm used to solve regression or classification problems,” Pino explained. “We have a dataset for Baybayin characters—let’s say character A and then character BA. SVM uses techniques or mathematical methods that can separate the two datasets to determine characters BA and A.” It took the group more than three months to collect over a thousand images for each Baybayin character, gathering a total of 110 paragraphs from different websites that have either hand- or typewritten Baybayin, Latin, or Baybayin and Latin writing. “Adding more character images improves the recognition rate of SVM,” Pino explained. Developing a smart, two-way translator Currently, the OCR system can spell out the Latin equivalent of the Baybayin characters on a page, thus producing a transliterated version of the text. But the researchers are looking to enable it to do so much more. The mathematicians also plan to make the OCR system more aware of the context of Baybayin words and phrases, possibly paving the way for a full-fledged translator. They are also trying to make the system work both ways, with the ability to convert Latin words with foreign sounds into Baybayin. “We’re trying to refine the software we developed to make it easier for future users to navigate it. We also dream of creating a mobile application that automatically and accurately translates Baybayin characters just by hovering over the phone,” Dr. Mendoza said. However, there are some kinks to smoothen out: Dr. Mendoza said that it was challenging to get the OCR system to translate Baybayin words and sentences accurately. “For now the system can’t distinguish between some Baybayin characters that are similar in writing, such as E and I, and O and U. We also have a lot of words that have different Latin equivalents,” he expounded. “The algorithm we used shows all possible translations of the Baybayin words.” Preserving Filipino writing systems Although still scant, interest in and research on Baybayin is slowly increasing, making the mathematicians hopeful that more Filipinos will become interested in protecting Baybayin through research. The team published their data to encourage more researchers to conduct studies on Baybayin and OCR. “We cleaned the data in such a way that researchers could use it in analyzing Baybayin through other algorithms,” Dr. Mendoza shared. “We made the data readily available for use, so researchers wouldn’t go through the difficulty we experienced in gathering data.” Philippine traditional writing systems, such as Baybayin, are representations of Filipino tradition and national identity. As such, the country’s government officials created the “Philippine Indigenous and Traditional Writing Systems Act,” which seeks to promote, protect, and preserve Baybayin and other traditional writing systems. The proposed law urges using Baybayin as a tool for cultural development and safeguarding, therefore encouraging organizations and institutions to spearhead activities and projects that promote awareness of these traditional writing systems. According to the scientists, Baybayin is living proof that we Filipinos have our own technically-sophisticated traditions. While they aren’t putting forward making Baybayin the Philippines’ primary writing system, the group believes that conducting more research on Baybayin will help preserve this heritage. “This can be forgotten,” Dr. Sambayan said. “It’s important to have a record of each Baybayin character—even having digitized ones.” Dr. Sambayan expressed concern that the number of Filipinos who can read and write Baybayin is decreasing, adding to the importance of identifying and translating Baybayin characters into Latin. “We’re hoping that through this OCR system, we could preserve and pass on the knowledge of understanding Baybayin to future Filipino generations,” she said. Baybayin and other traditional writing systems are a part of the Philippines’ rich history. Several old Filipino documents are in Baybayin—documents that can uncover more information about Filipino culture. The scientists are encouraging more Filipinos to join them in cultivating the body of knowledge the country has on Baybayin. “Kapag walang gagawa nito, sinong gagawa? Even though its implication already has a bit of a niche, I think this is still a vital research venture,” Dr. Mendoza said.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/a-great-ride-edward-hernandez/ | A great ride: Edward Hernandez – UP Alumni Website | A great ride: Edward Hernandez November 19, 2019 Locals hitching a ride on a restored military truck after WWII was the catalyst to launching one of the largest bus companies in the Philippines. Today, the locals are still hopping on board, but travelling in far more comfort. It was September 1945, the end of World War II. The Philippines had been liberated from Japanese occupation, and mechanic Jose Hernandez was scrounging spare parts from abandoned US military vehicles to restore an old truck he needed to transport merchandise for the family business. However, within days of the Chevy hitting the road, locals were hopping on board, wedging themselves among the bags of rice, fish sauce and laundry soap, to hitch a ride. Quickly establishing that the unsolicited passengers would provide a more profitable business, Jose installed wooden planks at the back of the open-sided truck to accommodate them. His wife, Marta, became the treasurer, and he set off on his first run along the 200-kilometre return route from Batangas Pier to Divisoria, with his ‘conductor’ brother-in-law Leonardo hanging onto the side collecting fares Victory Liner was born. Jose’s grandson and the company’s vice president of operations, Edward Hernandez, describes the stories surrounding those early days as legendary. They are retold many times, particularly at company events, when Victory Liner’s fleet of nearly 1,000 vehicles, 25 passenger terminals and routes that traverse most of central and northern Luzon and Metro Manila, are celebrated. Edward remembers his grandfather as a formidable character, instilling the virtue of hard work and discipline into his children and extended family right up until his death in 2001. “He was very strict and really tough, and my uncles tell me they were disciplined harshly,” Edward says. “But all the things he taught us about commitment, sacrifice and discipline were important and I believe that’s why we’re what we are today.” “Everyone in the family was encouraged to help with the business, even when we, all the cousins, were very young. We were pulled into the shop during the school holidays to do our fair share and to learn directly from him or the managers. We’d rotate too. One time I’d be at the overhauling shops, learning how to overhaul an engine, at another I’d be working in the electrical department.” Victory Liner is based in Caloocan, northern Metro Manila. Most executives and members of the company’s board are family members. Edward’s father, Johnny T Hernandez, is president and his cousin, Marivic Del Pilar, is vice president for treasury and marketing. Edward says that being family does not automatically entitle anyone to a position within the company, nor are there jobs for the in-laws. More of his grandfather’s scrupulous rules. “We need to get outside experience working somewhere else before we can formally join the company,” Edward explains. “I studied hotel and restaurant administration at the University of the Philippines and worked with some hotel and restaurant chains here in the Philippines, as well as in America. After that, my father called me in to help with the company. We do have a choice, but personally I wanted to contribute my share.” Edward uses airline and rail transport service as the company’s benchmark, with levels of comfort varying, from regular air-conditioned transport with free wi-fi, to super deluxe coaches offering onboard toilets, free snacks and steward service. “We offer first-class service on our longer routes taking 10 hours or more. It’s the same concept as business class on airlines, with wider seats, more leg room, food and service,” he explains. Most bus companies throughout the Philippines are privately operated, so the transport system is not subsidised by the government. In fact, most of the regulations and policies governing the bus industry stem from the lengthy experience and lessons learned by Victory Liner itself. “Our safety record is unmatched in the country, and the government has heeded this,” Edward says. “GPS, speed limits, safety protocols, inspections – all these things were non-existent in the Philippines until we implemented them. Scheduling isn’t mandated by the government, either. We are unique because we introduced specific schedules.” “GPS, speed limits, safety protocols, inspections – all these things were non-existent in the Philippines until we implemented them.” “Also, in the Philippines, most operations in ticketing, accounting and HR are still manual. Our goal is to automate, and we’ve been visiting companies overseas to determine the best systems for us. We’ve introduced some already. It’s a process, but we’re getting there.” Victory Liner drivers are heavily screened and undergo extensive training, not only on the road, but in workshops detailing defensive driving, economical driving and customer service. Once accepted into the company, they undergo a six-month probationary service on easier routes before being upgraded to longer and harder journeys. However, Edward stresses, while skills are vital, personality and commitment are regarded as just as important. “We’re in the service industry, primarily there to help others, so our customers are paramount to us,” Edward says. “While we understand transport is a basic need, we also realise it’s not as simple as just getting people on a bus and driving them somewhere.” “We want to make all our journeys, from the lowest to the highest fare, memorable and provide the customer satisfaction they all deserve. The motivation to serve is ingrained in each of our drivers while they transport passengers from one destination to another.” Edward, who has also completed a Masters in Strategic Business Economics, says he’s adopted a different leadership style from that of his grandfather. Rather than enforcing strict rules with little opportunity for negotiation, Edward prefers a more participative approach. “I am a bit different,” he admits. “My grandfather’s demanding rules were followed, no matter what, whereas I believe in the capability of our managers and prefer to give them the independence to develop their own management style. Of course, we have metrics in place to ensure the company is heading where we want it to, but as more of a results-oriented person, I’m happy to give managers a free hand to use their own style of management. For me, a manager can deviate, as long as we reach the goal together.” “For me, a manager can deviate, as long as we reach the goal together.” “I also like to employ professionals at the top of their field,” he adds. “We have managers ranging from those tenured in the company to new blood; a good mix of people who rose up through the ranks and those from outside the industry.” For Edward, however, the company’s real success is measured by the loyalty of its customers, many of whom have relied on Victory Liner for getting around for generations. “I see grandparents and parents encouraging their children to ride with us, just as they did,” he says. “Our service is going right down the line and that’s testament to the fact that we’ve been doing something right. What really makes me proud is when I read comments on social media from people saying how happy they are with our service.” “We also have third-generation employees whose grandparents worked with my grandfather. That is very special. They are proud to work with us and to help us serve the country.” These exceptional relationships extend to Victory Liner’s suppliers too, in particular, RYCO Inc, Bridgestone and MACC, with whom the company has enjoyed decades of partnership. Edward describes their association as going beyond purely business. “These companies are very important,” Edward says. “Just like our passengers and staff, we have multi-generational suppliers from families who interacted and did business with my parents and grandparents. We are on to our third generation with RYCO, and second for MACC.” “Sometimes our families lived in the same rural city, and as children we went to the same high schools. We get together, not only because of business, but to go out just to have fun or join in family gatherings. Actually, it’s really one big family. That’s how it is here in the Philippines.” Twice a year, the Hernandez family gets together to celebrate summer holidays and the new year. Extraordinarily, Edward knows everyone, about 100 of them, by name, from matriarch and chair of the board, Gerarda H Villa, to the tiniest toddlers. “It’s not so extraordinary, really, because I am in charge of keeping the family tree,” he laughs. “I am the custodian and have to maintain all the records. And yes, it’s getting difficult because we are up to the fifth generation and, like many other families, we are scattered all around the world.” Edward, who has two children of his own, admits the family company is a paradise for the youngest members of the Hernandez family. His young son, Kiro, like most little boys, loves buses, and a trip to the office is a treat. “He has lots of fun exploring the garage, having a look underneath the buses or peering at their engines. And, of course, he loves going for a ride.” Edward still occasionally hops on one of his buses, particularly the Manila to Baguio route, and while he’d prefer to travel incognito, without fuss, that’s becoming more difficult. “They do find out,” he laughs. “But I like it because it’s often so much more convenient than driving and parking my own car. I hop on, sit comfortably, don’t have to find a car park, and then I’m fresh and ready for a meeting. That’s what I tell my friends too – why take the car when you can hop on a Victory Liner bus? Efficient, safe and relaxed.” Source: https://www.theceomagazine.com/executive-interviews/transportation-logistics/edward-hernandez/ |

Once lowered in the water, such devices can help scientists and fisherfolk monitor the health of the marine environment almost in real time. (Photo credit: UPD-CS MSI DOST HABHazard Program) Innovative data-driven technologies are empowering Filipino coastal communities by enabling them to make better informed decisions on when and how to utilize marine resources. An advocate of sustainable fishing practices, Dr. Aletta Concepcion T. Yñiguez of the UP Diliman College of Science’s Marine Science Institute (UPD-CS MSI) has been working closely with small-scale fishers and government agencies to help rural fisherfolk with technologies developed by UP scientists. Yñiguez and her fellow MSI researchers created ARAICoBeH (A Rapid Assessment Instrument for Coastal Benthic Habitats), an inexpensive tool for taking underwater photos of endangered areas such as coral reefs without needing to dive. She also spearheaded HABhub (Harmful Algal Bloom Hub), an online platform that facilitates the detection and reporting of algal blooms, which could threaten both the lives and livelihoods of affected fisherfolk. HABhub also provides robust early-warning systems that would allow for more proactive mitigation and enhanced understanding of these phenomena. These and other innovations and insights from Dr. Yñiguez were the focus of a recent iStories webinar, hosted by the UPD-CS. “To ensure the sustainable utilization and management of ocean resources, it is critical that observational, monitoring and decision-support tools are in place to provide concrete, science-based information and management. But the technologies, tools and capacity for these are sorely lacking,” Dr. Yñiguez said at the event. “Our present efforts help bridge this gap through interdisciplinary collaborations to develop cost-effective sensors that automate ocean observation, building ocean data repositories and models for understanding, forecasting and decision-support,” she added. For her work, Dr. Yñiguez was bestowed The Outstanding Women in Nation’s Service (TOWNS) award in 2022. Given by the TOWNS Foundation, Inc., the prestigious award honors Filipinas 21 to 45 years old who have contributed greatly to Philippine society in their chosen fields. iStories is a series of monthly innovation-themed talks, storytelling, and activities featuring local and international scientists. The initiative aims to ignite the creativity and inventiveness of young scientists not just from UPD-CS but from other institutes inside and outside UP.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/this-doc-sees-dead-people/ | This doc sees dead people – UP Alumni Website | This doc sees dead people July 28, 2017 by Arlyn VCD Palisoc Romualdo, UP MPRO She always cleaned the fish her mother Amelia bought. It was a chore she loved doing. Little did the young Raquel Barros Del Rosario know she was preparing for a future as Dr. Raquel B. Del Rosario-Fortun, the first Filipino woman forensic pathologist. “Evisceration! That’s what it was,” she said with a knowing smile, connecting that childhood task with disemboweling bodies during autopsies. She had always wanted to become a doctor despite coming from a clan of lawyers and admitted that her father Benjamin was “a bit disappointed.” It was her doting aunt, Dr. Lourdes Del Rosario, who inspired Raquel. Her photo is the only one on Raquel’s desk at the Department of Pathology chairperson’s office, UP Manila College of Medicine (UPCM). “Because of her, I associated fun with being a doctor.” Even going with her to a hospital in Tondo, Raquel wasn’t fazed. “That hospital smell didn’t bother me. I saw all these doctors in white coats like her, respected by everyone. I thought it was so cool.” Dr. Raquel Fortun in her office as UP Manila Department of Pathology chair (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) Dreams vs. reality Going into college, she wanted something that could be a pre-med degree but could also guarantee employment if she couldn’t pursue medicine because it was expensive. She enrolled in the UP Diliman (UPD) BS Psychology program in 1979 after graduating from the UP Integrated School. Three years on, she felt certain she wanted to be a doctor. She “wanted to shift to a pre-med program focused on the sciences like Biology or Zoology,” but chose to be more practical and finished psychology. Raquel wasn’t accepted to UPCM, so she went to the University of the East Ramon Magsaysay (UERM) College of Medicine, graduating in 1987 and completing post-internship in 1988. She began residency training in anatomic and clinical pathology in 1989 at UPCM, where she was also made instructor. The medicine-law mix While the pull of medicine was stronger, law was also Raquel’s interest. She saw the possibility of mixing both through Dr. Pedro Solis, a lawyer-doctor and her UERM Legal Medicine professor. She took and passed the law aptitude exam of the UPD College of Law (UP Law) twice, in 1989 and 1993. UPCM just advised against the pursuit in 1989 because it was her first year of residency. “Passing twice, I thought I might have an aptitude for law after all.” Raquel laughed when recounting her law experience. “I quit! After 10 days, maybe 2 weeks, I just quit! This is so embarrassing, but that’s what happened. Law wasn’t for me.” She found it “too abstract, the opposite of medicine’s tangible and concrete.” She may have quit, but more than ten years later, she was invited by UP Law to teach. “I believe some eyebrows were raised, that I, a non-lawyer, was teaching a course at UP Law.” She learned about forensic pathology from one of her seniors at the department. “I realized it was probably what I was looking for: the field of medicine, particularly pathology, applied to law. The tangible applied to the abstract.” Raquel went to Seattle, Washington in 1994 to train at the King County Medical Examiner’s (ME) Office. “My first day there, I fell in love with forensic pathology. That was it. I knew it was the field I was meant to be in.” She had the stomach for it, too—dead bodies, whether fresh or decomposing, with maggots or reduced to skeletal remains. Heartaches and headaches She vividly remembers the day she left. It was a Sunday. She and her husband Vincent, an obstetrician-gynecologist, left their three-year-old daughter Lisa playing at her paternal grandmother’s place. Raquel cried so hard the night before that she almost didn’t want to leave. “It was very difficult.” When she wasn’t examining bodies and collecting evidence at the ME’s office, Raquel would feel terribly homesick. She racked up a massive bill on overseas calls in her first month and was forced to cut down—ten minutes on Saturdays. She thought things would be easier when she returned. “It was like my daughter didn’t know who I was. That hurt.” Raquel feared her one-year absence may have caused trauma on Lisa. “What have I done?” she asked herself many times. Professionally, she was full of enthusiasm because of everything she had learned. “But there was no solid practice for a forensic pathologist here. I’ve seen the ideal and I wanted us to be at par with international standards.” That desire for improvement, however, wasn’t welcomed by some in the medical field and government. “We didn’t have a death investigation system here that was fully state-funded and independent from law enforcement. We didn’t have medical examiners or coroners, and medical investigators. We still don’t. Have I cried over this? Yes, out of sheer frustration at how death investigations were being done.” Raquel continued teaching. Over the years, she has been asked to consult on cases, some of them high profile and controversial: the Ozone Disco fire, the Dacer-Corbito case, the Asian Spirit tragedy, the Maguindanao massacre, and the death of Ted Failon’s wife, Trina Etong. Her popularity as an expert grew, but so did the number of her enemies. “Evidence doesn’t take sides. It is what it is. If you don’t like what it tells you, that’s not my fault. I just call it as I see it. That’s how the science works.” She clarified that she never claimed to be an all-around forensic expert. “Forensics involves a lot of disciplines. Mine is forensic pathology. Although my training has exposed me to other forensic aspects of death investigation, I always defer to experts in other forensic fields. I know my limitations.” She calls this her “real” office as UP faculty member for almost two decades (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) Choosing to stay Forensic pathology is a lucrative field and Raquel could be earning so much more if she worked abroad, in full practice, and did part-time teaching. “My fate is here, teaching full-time as a UP professor and doing cases on the side,” she said. “I’m ten years from retirement.” She has tried working outside, where the monthly pay was twice her teacher’s annual salary. “But I wasn’t happy. I realized it wasn’t about the money. UP has an environment that’s hard to find elsewhere. I am free to speak my mind. The students are very intelligent. The interaction with my colleagues is great.” As for the future of forensic experts and forensic pathology in the Philippines, she hopes that coming generations will have an easier time; that funds for material and human resources would be given to support a UPM forensic pathology fellowship program; that the UP Board of Regents-approved establishment of the Forensic Science Institute in 1999 would materialize; and that a death investigation system fully supported by the state, independent of law enforcement, free from politics, unbiased, and unafraid to expose the truth would finally exist. Until then, Raquel will just do the usual: Try to beat the morning rush. Drink coffee in the car when she arrives too early and too afraid to enter the dark building, even with a guard on duty. Do administrative work. Teach. Maybe do an autopsy. Stay in her real office—the one with creaky wooden floors, a huge collection of crime novels, shelves full of skull/skeleton figures, and that old and frayed yet comfortable couch. Endure evening traffic. On weekends, garden or buy plants. Listen to her CDs. Perhaps be the “HandyMa” and visit her favorite hardware stores for do-it-yourself projects. Along with Lisa, take care of her mother and do household chores. And at any given time, tweet as @Doc4Dead. Source: https://www.up.edu.ph/index.php/this-doc-sees-dead-people |

https://alum.up.edu.ph/diwata-2-microsatellite-nears-completion-handover-to-jaxa/ | Diwata-2 microsatellite nears completion, handover to Jaxa – UP Alumni Website | Diwata-2 microsatellite nears completion, handover to Jaxa August 15, 2018 Filipino engineers in Japan’s Tohoku, Hokkaido, Kyushu universities up to the challenge In case some still doubt that the Philippines has already sent its first eye in the sky into space, maybe a second microsatellite would make them believe it is so. In Photo: The scale model of Diwata-2 microsatellite, which was exhibited at the National Science and Technology Week in World Trade Center in Pasay City in July. Another 50-kilogram satellite shall soon be sent into orbit by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through its partner, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa). It should be recalled that the DOST had the Philippines’s first microsatellite—the maiden Diwata-1 that was designed, developed and assembled in Japan by nine pioneering Filipino engineers and scientists along with their “sensei” (instructors) from the Tohoku University (TU) and Hokkaido University (HU). Diwata-1 was launched into the International Space Station onboard the Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft on March 23, 2016. It was deployed from the ISS into her orbit on April 27 by the Japanese Experimental Module (JEM)—”Kibo” or Hope—around 400 km above Earth’s surface. Now, two years and four months later, the government is about to unveil the second iteration of Diwata-1—named Diwata-2. Would there be a Diwata-3? Obviously, that’s the plan of the DOST and its attached agencies, especially the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-Asti) and the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD). The name of the DOST space-related undertaking is the Philippine Scientific and Earth Observation Microsatellite (PHL-Microsat), along with a ground receiving station dubbed the Philippine Earth Data Resources Observation (Pedro), a two-year program. PHL-Microsat is being put into motion by the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman in Quezon City. Early-September Thus, it should surprise no one that DOST is about to add to its list of groundbreaking technological innovations designed to benefit every Juan and Juana. Diwata-2 is targeted for launching onboard Jaxa’s H-IIA rocket from Tanegashima Island in Japan, and direct into her orbit before the Year of the Dog sounds off its last bark, probably in the fourth quarter. In an exclusive interview, via Facebook’s Messenger, Ariston Gonzalez, one of the nine Diwata-1 pioneers, now a researcher/lead research and development engineer for PHL-Microsat at DOST-Asti, gave updates on status of Diwata-2, whose design, development, and assembly immediately followed Diwata-1’s successful history-making launch and deployment. Gonzalez, one of the leaders of the “Magnificent 9,” so-called for being the pioneer Filipino satellite builders, relayed to the BusinessMirror that “the completion of Diwata-2 is near. She will be delivered to Jaxa by early-September.” Gonzalez said what remains to be done in the building of Diwata-2 are “the final electrical tests and vibration tests of the flight model.” Amateur radio module He confirmed that the Philippines’s second microsatellite would carry an amateur radio module through which communication can be made using ham radios. For the uninitiated like this journalist, “amateur radio [or ham radio] is a popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together.” “People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world or even into space,” ARRL.org said. Another Internet source said it uses “radio frequency spectrum.” The Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 builder said what is called amateur or ham radio handsets are like the walkie-talkies used for talking between individuals, more so the police and Red Cross personnel. He said the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has access to such handheld radio devices. Sounds great for a country like the Philippines that suffers at least 20 typhoons a year that like Supertyphoon Yolanda (international code name Haiyan) in 2013 Eastern Visayas lost totally all communications infrastructures and facilities for a few days. It was when communication was nonexistent in Leyte province, the hardest hit. Gonzalez said the “target use for ham radio [of Diwata-2] is for emergency situations wherein all commercial communications are down.” Enhanced camera, with ‘wings’ On the other hand, he said the second microsatellite would have mostly the same mission with the first eye in the sky. The difference is the addition of an enhanced resolution camera (ERC) and a wider field-of-view or coverage of her other cameras, the multispectral imaging camera, the high-precision telescope, wide field camera and middle field camera. Those are not the only enhancements, though. “In the satellite BUS system, Diwata-2 has a deployable solar array panels. She will look like Diwata-1 but with wings,” Gonzalez said, adding that the solar panels were aimed at increasing her solar power charging capability. Relay station between space and Earth Gonzalez explained that Diwata-2’s amateur radio facility would serve as a relay station in space between and among people on Earth. As it is in space, the microsatellite’s ham radio will function even when there is no communications facility on Earth as a result of disasters. (He invited Filipinos to follow for updates on Diwata-1 and Diwata-2 on https://www.Facebook.com/PHLMicrosat.) “All one has to do is tune in [a ham radio] to the frequency of Diwata-2 to send voice messages while the other party stands by to receive the voice message,” he said. “What Diwata-2 does is to serve as a relay or connecting point for two persons communicating with each other,” he pointed out. A voice call will not be included in the amateur radio function, he said. Diwata-2’s amateur radio will serve as a temporary replacement for the fallen communications towers, he added. One can also store messages on Diwata-2 that can be broadcasted repeatedly across and over the Philippines, such as prerecorded emergency messages in times of disasters, calamities and other kinds of emergency. In connecting to the microsatellite’s ham radio, nothing special has to be done, only tune in to the official frequencies. Good for weather stations, flood monitoring Gonzalez hastened to add that communicating with Diwata-2 has limitations, saying there are specific time windows when it is available, which will be determined and set once she is in her orbit, which is going to be higher than Diwata-1’s. “We are also planning to activate with Diwata-2 what we call ‘Store-and-Forward mechanism,’” he said. This means the mechanism will collect data from floating buoy sensors deployed offshore by the DOST, a safe and better alternative than sending people to manually collect the data specially when the weather is not conducive. “So, instead of people going directly to the buoy to collect the data [on weather, etc.], it could be that there is one buoy sensor that will automatically collect the data from nearby nearby sensors, and the [buoy sensor collecting the data] will upload it to Diwata-2. “Then, when Diwata-2 passes over DOST-Asti’s Pedro ground receiving station, we can just download the data and distribute it to stakeholders,” said the Filipino engineer. He said the Store-and-Forward mechanism is not limited to just specific sensors. “We can modify even the existing one on the field so they can have the capability to upload data to Diwata-2.” This is good with weather stations with certain kind of sensors, such as flood monitoring sensors. They can upload directly to Diwata-2, which is very useful, especially when the sensors are in remote location. Sustain space development, technology He said there is no definite plans yet about Diwata-3. “But we definitely want to sustain the stamina we have for space development and technology. What we want to pursue in the immediate feature is to see the growth of the local industries sector; more active involvement and augmented capabilities.” Gonzalez emphasized that there is no intent to cut the umbilical cord that links the PHL-Microsat to foreign technology when they will build the next iteration of the satellites. “But we definitely want to leverage the capability we already have in the Philippines, and cultivate new ones.” Data is the ‘new oil’ He noted the importance of the DOST’s space technology development program, citing data transformation as the new oil. “I think, in a general sense, when we send out satellites into space, what we are primarily getting is data. And I think it’s getting to a point now that data is becoming the new oil. Data is now a resource that can drive a country forward. Be it in economy, security, sustainability and many others, data is now playing an important role. “Secondarily, delving in space technology does not mean we only have impact when we send out things in space. In fact, when we delve with space technology, we drive industries and create products that trickle down to other relevant industries/sectors. For example, in automotive, electronics, manufacturing and many others.” The “trickle down,” he said, could be in the form of the so-called attitude or orientation control that is being implemented in satellites, saying they are important in pointing the cameras of the satellite into a specific target on Earth. “This technology can be used on automated vehicles on the ground and in the air. Unmanned aerial vehicles, or self-driving cars, etc.” These are something to ponder on. Written by Edd K.

https://alum.up.edu.ph/the-passion-of-john-gabriel-pelias/ | The passion of John Gabriel Pelias – UP Alumni Website | The passion of John Gabriel Pelias October 7, 2017 by Stephanie S. Cabigao, UP MPRO On April 17, 2011, under the scorching heat, I and 3,281 other graduates listened keenly to the words of our UP Diliman class valedictorian John Gabriel Pelias. We were all in awe of what the 19-year old Mathematics major — who made UP history with a general weighted average (GWA) of 1.016, breaking a mark set in 1948 — had to say. Even six years later, as I sat eagerly for a short talk with him, I could vividly remember him saying, “You graduated not from any university but from a university named after the nation. Use your talents to contribute to the country.” As a fellow iskolar ng bayan who chose to stay and serve the University, I wanted to know what made him decide to do the same. Today, John Gabriel Pelias is a professor at the University of the Philippines Institute of Mathematics in Diliman, where he also took his master’s degree. Prof. Pelias discusses “projective spaces” at the International Conference on Mathematics and Mathematics Education in Hong Kong, July 2016. Why Math? “I’m fond of Math. Ever since I was young I liked Math and Science. My first choice for UPCAT was Physics, but between Math and Physics, I was told that Math could get you a high paying job with insurance companies, compared to Physics,” he teased. He continued, “Taking BS Mathematics was more of an inspiration from my high school teacher, and I went on to finish MS Mathematics because of what I saw in my undergraduate years.” Interestingly, John wasn’t that interested in mathematical computation. “It wasn’t the math in Math that I saw and liked,” he says. “I’m bad at arithmetic. For example, I get stressed by having to compute, say, the price of Mayonnaise A versus that of Mayonnaise B and figuring out which is the better deal. But that’s the scaffolding to the better, the more real math that’s happening out there, which is what I saw in math. That math is not just about computation. Math is an art. For example, if you try to prove something, you’re trying to establish an eternal truth, a truth that cannot just be derived from observation. “Observations will supply your assumptions but it is the deductive logic of philosophy that enables you to arrive at a conclusion. I suppose I like the feeling of certainty. I like order. And I think math is not just a scientific endeavor, but also an artistic endeavor. And I think mathematicians appreciate their craft because it is beautiful. You discover order in the cosmos, deciphering that pattern of the universe,” he added. Why UP? Finishing a master’s degree in MS Mathematics, he focused on differential geometry as his thesis, and plans to pursue it in his postgraduate work. “Actually, the reason I chose to take up further studies in differential geometry is that it has applications for Physics. And this is a chance for me to go back to my first love.” He’d like to do this in the United States. As an avid fan of the American TV series The Big Bang Theory where his favorite mainstay actor Sheldon Cooper is a resident physicist of Cal Tech, John is determined to pursue his studies at the same California Institute of Technology. Among his other options are UCLA, UC-Berkley, Harvard, and MIT. Six years after graduation, I asked our Class of 2011 poster boy the very same question he was asked then: why UP? Why choose to stay, when there are bigger opportunities professionally and financially in other industries both here and abroad, especially for someone like John Gabriel Pelias? He eagerly replied, “Out of love and optimism for the university. First, I have my loyalty to my discipline. I hate computations. I’m not saying that they’re wrong, it is just that I don’t find joy in it. I knew that if I taught high school, that was what I would be doing. I also knew that if I worked in a company, I couldn’t use the math I knew, because I’d be dealing with business and that’s not the kind of work I want to do. In the university, you just do your academic work. My colleagues in the department have this goal of trailblazing in the field of differential geometry. It will benefit all of us,” he added. Studying abroad for his postgraduate degree stems from that sense of loyalty to UP. “What I like and expect, being in this university, is having students who are critical thinkers. Even without an application, they can bring up ideas worth discussing. Why do we even have to ask why we need it? That’s why I greatly appreciate being in a university. You have no right to teach here if you don’t value critical thinking. Universitas is the totality of knowledge that you can muster and acquire. If you think literature is useless in life, you’re wrong. It’s this appreciation of the humanities that some students lack, which is why they also can’t appreciate the pure beauty of the eternal truth that mathematics provides. If you’re a mathematician, you should be passionate about literature as well,” he added. The calculus professor confessed that he loves teaching but at the same time hates checking papers. Taking a break from teaching this midyear season, he has found the time to read his favorite authors such as Franz Kafka, Jean Paul Sartre, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, while working on his requirements for his postgraduate program in 2018. Rounding up our conversation, John pondered the “Why” question some more and continued, “I think I can use whatever I learned here and not somewhere else. Also, I love the diversity I see in UP. Because of its non-sectarian character, I get to see and meet people who are Muslims, Christians, Catholics, and atheists at the Academic Oval. I can express myself freely, and you’re not judged based on what you wear. I appreciate the unity in this diversity we have in the University. The vision of UP is that you can think of anything for as long as it is sound, and you can stand by and prove what you’re saying.” The John Gabriel Pelias whom I gazed at admiringly in 2011 spoke to me just as profoundly during that afternoon interview. Despite the challenges he now faces as a faculty member, he pledged, “I want to live the last days of my life as a professor here in UP, where I can do what I want to do.” Well said, Professor! |

https://alum.up.edu.ph/the-house-that-stories-built/ | The house that stories built – UP Alumni Website | The house that stories built October 7, 2017 by Andre DP. Encarnacion, UP MPRO The video begins with a plaintive piano track to accompany the visuals. Hand-drawn and labeled with black pencil, the story is told via a series of drawings depicting the day Typhoon Pablo made landfall. A figure resembling a truncated arrow with near-perfect circles for wheels represent the Isuzu Elf truck carrying survivors towards the purple parallel lines of the bridge over Mindanao’s Mayo River. The narrator’s voice is impactful, going through every painful detail of how a flood that seemed as “wide as the ocean” scattered families and neighbors in their barangay. The relief in that voice when she found her family alive after fleeing to higher ground is a far cry from the polished pitch found in typical documentaries. It was a survivor’s voice, telling her own story the best way she knew how. Meet the UP alumni behind the company giving a digital voice to Mindanao’s voiceless. For more than five years now, teaching the people of Mindanao to craft and share such stories to the world has been the mission of sisters Glorypearl Dy and Gloryrose Dy-Metilla. Together with cofounders and fellow UP Mindanao alumni Marben Jan Picar and Angely Chi, the pair are the force behind the Swito Corporation (swito, a Bisaya word, translates to “wise guy”)– a global impact innovation hub dedicated to the promotion of Mindanaoan culture. While their services have expanded to include a firm upholding traditional Mindanao architecture and handcrafted 3D puzzles of the same, Swito Corporation is undoubtedly a house built on stories. With the expressed intent to provide a voice for Mindanao’s voiceless, what they now call the Swito Digital Storytelling service started it all, helping those in need create their own digital stories since 2012. Digital empowerment Digital storytelling is, as groups like Storycenter.org define it, the use of digital tools to empower people to construct their own personal narratives. It allows the common person to bypass the expensive crew and equipment typically associated with big productions to produce their own personal stories with simple gadgets that can be made accessible with a click. Glorypearl Dy first encountered the medium as a Communication Arts student in UP Mindanao. Seeing its potential to both help people in far-flung communities get their voices heard and use accessible technologies to help them do so, the partners pooled their knowledge to informally begin the enterprise in 2011. The very first digital storytelling workshops began soon after. This small initiative among friends to provide digital literacy to sensitive populations in public school classrooms or barangay halls soon drew attention from a great number of larger entities — including non-government organizations (NGOs) and local government units. It soon became clear to everyone that the stories they were producing also held immense psychosocial and organizational promise for both participants and host communities. Scholars and organizations soon began approaching the group for help in their data collection and impact assessments. “Our friends from the NGOs started to hire us and saw what we were doing was good,” Picar recalls. Other partners included them in anthropological research, working with the group to get a feel for how individuals, children in particular; view themselves vis-a-vis their communities. As it turns out, putting creative tools in the hands of stakeholders allowed them to make their unfiltered views and reactions reach decision-makers muck quicker. It was, however, only in 2013 — when the team joined the British Council’s I am a Changemaker Social Enterprise Ideation Camp — that the idea dawned on them that they could turn the practice into a sustainable business that they could do, in their words, “forever.” That year, efforts to turn what they had into a long-term, socially-minded enterprise began in earnest. A three-day workshop While Swito Digital Storytelling offers specialized versions for a broad range of stakeholders that can last up to a week, the typical workshop lasts around three days. The first day is reserved for introductions, an understated phase in the storytelling process. The group found that without a solid foundation of trust, getting people share to share their stories was difficult if not impossible. “Our tried and tested method,” the group agreed, “was to have participants create cut-out puppets of themselves, like a mini-you representing how you view yourself”. Picar, who usually facilitates, remembers a workshop with children where the icebreaker question was “What you want to be when you grow up.” He adds, “Me, I drew a superhero. Because I wanted to be a superhero when I was growing up.” What follows is what the group calls the “story circle.” This segment allows participants to sit face-to-face and discuss the workshop topic. For thematic cases, one participant begins by expressing his or her say on an issue, which others can build on afterwards. This is followed by breakout sessions, where participants separate to draft their individual stories. Afternoons are then dedicated to training participants to create storyboards that serve as guides for their final outputs. During the second day, the process of video-making begins. Participants create the graphics — either drawn or photographed — that best represent their stories. Perhaps the most powerful part of the entire process is the recording of participants’ voices, which many of them had never heard on tape before. A considerable number of participants get very emotional and even break into tears when hearing their stories told with their own voices for the first time. The second day ends with facilitators guiding participants in the process of editing their videos and getting them ready for presentation. All outputs are produced with inexpensive, readily available gadgets and open source software. The final day is dedicated to a group viewing session of these digital stories. This is a process that gives a considerable sense of pride and accomplishment to many of their creators. Participants are then debriefed before goodbyes are said and the workshop concludes. Giving voice to the unheard While some of these groups workshops are straightforward sessions where participants can engage in free-for-all storytelling, it’s holding sessions with Mindanao’s underserved and unheard communities that gives the group the greatest satisfaction. To date, they have conducted peacebuilding workshops for survivors of armed conflict, as well as workshops for disaster survivors, domestic violence survivors, traditional birth attendants and other indigenous peoples, among others. One particular workshop with children with special needs is what the group considers among their most memorable to date. Dy herself distinctly remembers a video from that session where a deaf-mute participant used a combination of sign language and subtitles to create a memorable story about fashion modelling. The delivery was unique but entirely appropriate, as it was “the way the storyteller actually communicates,” she says. Moreover, it was an opportunity to both make the story known and to allow viewers to see things from the vantage point of the literally voiceless — something they hope to achieve on a broader scale. Today, Dy and her partners are focused on helping more Mindanaoans realize the inspirational and purgative power of sharing their digital stories, taking every opportunity to provide the service for free for sensitive groups and organizations. The lasting value in the process, they believe, is that it helps Filipinos everywhere communicate in the digital age using a medium and tradition innate to all of us — an oral one. “We want to give them the power to tell their own stories without our intervention,” Dy says. “Especially those in far-flung communities. Why not give them that chance?” |
https://alum.up.edu.ph/doctoral-music-graduates-generosity-of-spirit-benefits-future-musicians/ | Doctoral music graduate’s generosity of spirit benefits future musicians – UP Alumni Website | Doctoral music graduate’s generosity of spirit benefits future musicians December 16, 2021 Editor’s note: This story is part of a series of profiles of notable fall 2021 graduates. International student Ramon “Chino” Alfonso Soberano, who graduates this fall with a Doctor of Musical Arts in violin performance, wants all musicians to be able to achieve their goals. Last summer in his home country of the Philippines, Soberano taught free virtual masterclasses and lectures to future generations of violinists. The virtual classes were co-taught at three institutions that were instrumental to his development as a musician — the Philippine Research for Developing Individual Soloists (PREDIS), School of Music at St. Scholastica’s College and the University of the Philippines College of Music. At ASU, Soberano served as co-president for the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accountability (IDEA) Student Committee in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre from fall 2018 through spring 2021. “As a founding member of IDEA, the thoughtful conversations with student members and faculty, cross-disciplinary collaborations and advocacy work have taught me to serve as a compassionate and effective leader,” Soberano said. Soberano said his involvement with IDEA made him realize that the field of music, as other fields, has issues of equity, inclusion and diversity that disproportionately affect some people more than others. “We should continue to strive in addressing these issues through continuous conversations with open ears, minds and hearts so that everyone has the equal opportunity to achieve their goals as a musician,” Soberano said. Soberano was a member of the Herberger String Quartet and the ASU Symphony Orchestra. He has performed as a soloist, chamber musician and orchestral musician in Arizona and Illinois, and with the University of the Philippines College Orchestra, the Manila Symphony Orchestra and the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra. He has taught for ASU’s String Project and community outreach music programs at the Manchester Music Festival and Taconic Music, Inc. in Vermont. In his most recent lecture recital associated with his doctoral research, “The Contemporary Filipino Violin: An In-Depth Study and Performance Guide of Ramon Santos’ ‘Tanaw II’ (1984) and Conrado del Rosario’s ‘Darangun’ for Solo Violin (1985),” Soberano received high praises from both composers. Santos said, “Thank you for playing my piece so superbly and so intelligently. I would say that this is the best interpretation of the piece.” And del Rosario said Soberano gave an “excellent performance of my composition ‘Darangun’ for solo violin.” “Chino was a wonderful teaching assistant for my studio from 2017–19,” said Danwen Jiang, professor of violin in the School of Music, Dance and Theatre. “He is a wonderful colleague, an excellent role model to his peers and a valuable asset to our school and community at large.” Question: What was your “aha” moment when you realized you wanted to study the field you majored in? Answer: It was during a visit to my relatives in Jacksonville, Florida, when I was around 7 years old. My grandaunts knew how to play piano and taught simple tunes to me on the piano. I had so much fun that I asked my parents if I could learn piano when we got back home in the Philippines. Our house did not have much space for even an upright piano, so my mom suggested the violin since it is smaller. Q: Why did you choose ASU? A: The most important aspect was the teacher. I chose ASU because of how excellent Professor Danwen Jiang, my violin professor, was as a mentor and pedagogue. Her expertise and guidance have helped me further discover my potential as a professional musician. In addition, ASU values creativity and interdisciplinary collaborations, and I value these concepts as well. I firmly believe that to be a 21st century musician one has to be versatile and open to new discoveries. Q: Which professor taught you the most important lesson while at ASU? A: Professor Danwen Jiang, my violin teacher, taught me an important music and non-music related lesson. The most memorable piece of advice she gave me was that being great at performing your instrument is not the only ingredient in becoming a professional musician. One has to be well-rounded and also learn other non-music performance skills such as effective teaching, networking and marketing. Being a kind, fair and respectful musician are desirable qualities that open more doors of opportunity. Q: What’s the best piece of advice you’d give to those still in school? A: Do not lose sight of what is happening inside and outside of yourself. Inside, be mindful of your health and wellness. Health is more important than squeezing one more hour of practice time at the expense of eating a healthy meal and/or getting a good night’s sleep. Abusing your body can have consequences later on in life. Outside, do not be out of touch with issues happening in our world today such as climate change, racial/gender discrimination, poverty, etc. that are affecting us all. In these difficult times, we should be more compassionate to each other and advocate for people who are directly affected by these issues. Q: What was your favorite spot on campus, whether for studying, meeting friends or just thinking about life? A: The “secret garden” in the courtyard at the Herberger Institute office. When school gets busy and crowded, this is a little oasis of quiet and serenity. I would sometimes eat my lunch in that courtyard just to unwind from the busyness of school. Q: What are your plans after graduation? A: Aside from searching for jobs, I am excited about taking on personal projects, including discovering and performing new and/or underperformed repertoire, finishing my website and continuing to give masterclasses and lectures at various music institutions, including the Philippines. Q: Did you receive any scholarships while at ASU, and if so, which ones? What did it mean to you to be able to receive this funding? A: I received the Special Talent Award Scholarship, the Katherine K. Herberger Scholarship and (was) a teaching assistant. It was such an honor to receive these awards, and I am forever grateful to the donors, faculty and administration for helping me financially during my doctoral studies. Receiving these awards from such a distinguished institution helped me realize that I have potential in growing to be a better musician. Q: If someone gave you $40 million to solve one problem on our planet, what would you tackle? A: I would like to address global food insecurity and hunger. So much of our waking lives is dependent on what and how much food we eat, even impacting our mental health and decision-making. I believe if the general population has easier access to healthy and natural food resources, the world can be a little bit better.

JOSE Head, Office of Expanded Education and Training UP – Philippine General Hospital ———————————————————– December 1, 2023 (Friday) 12nn Webinar #174 “Malubhang Sakit, Pwede Bang Alagaan sa Bahay?” Providing Palliative Care at Home In a world where healthcare often revolves around curing ailments, we invite you to explore a realm of compassionate care that transcends boundaries – Palliative and Hospice Care. The Philippines, with its unique blend of cultural diversity and a healthcare landscape in constant evolution, presents a dynamic backdrop for this discussion. Palliative and hospice care, often regarded as the epitome of compassion in healthcare, focuses on enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. In the Philippine context, where familial bonds and cultural values are paramount, the significance of such care is even more pronounced. Our distinguished panel of speakers comprises trailblazers in the field, each with a wealth of experience in navigating the complexities of palliative and hospice care within the Philippine context. Together, we will explore cultural sensitivities, ethical considerations, and practical approaches that can elevate the standard of care for those navigating the final chapters of their lives. Our main presenter is Dr. Andrew E. Ang, who is the Chief of the Division of Supportive, Hospice, and Palliative Medicine from the Department of Family and Community Medicine of the UP-Philippine General Hospital while our reactor is Dr. Karin V. Estepa-Garcia, who is the Immediate Past President of the Philippine Society of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and also the current Chair of the UP-PGH Department of Family and Community Medicine. The Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose, who is the Head of the Office of Expanded Education and Training at the UP Philippine General Hospital. Join us in this compassionate journey and let us collectively strive to build a healthcare landscape that not only heals but also comforts, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their health condition, receives the dignity and support they deserve. Together, let’s illuminate the path towards a more compassionate and holistic approach to healthcare in the Philippines. Together, we can stop preventable deaths!

https://alum.up.edu.ph/event/rethinking-the-planning-history-of-baguio/ | “Rethinking the Planning History of Baguio?” – UP Alumni Website | “Rethinking the Planning History of Baguio?” November 25 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm IS BAGUIO, AS A PLANNED CITY, REALLY BURNHAM’S CITY? Prof. Ian Morley mentioned in his book “Cities and Nationhood: American Imperialism and Urban Design in the Philippines, 1898-1916” that Baguio’s transformation from “a barren site five thousand feet above sea level into a modern planned city stands out as perhaps one of the greatest achievements of early American colonial rule in the Philippines.” However, this raises the question: is Baguio, as a planned city, really Burnham’s city? More specifically, is Baguio actually William E. Parsons’ planned city? Catch the lecture “Rethinking the Planning History of Baguio?” with Prof. Ian Morley on November 25, 2023, at Zoom and Facebook Live, 10 am. Register here: https://forms.gle/gvJu4u1AjhFcYtCr5 This lecture series is organized by the Baguio Heritage Foundation, Inc.
