https://up.edu.ph/eleventh-year-of-artgifts-returns-with-sari-saring-likhang-sining/ | Eleventh year of ArtGifts returns with “Sari-saring Likhang Sining” – University of the Philippines | Eleventh year of ArtGifts returns with “Sari-saring Likhang Sining” Eleventh year of ArtGifts returns with “Sari-saring Likhang Sining” December 14, 2023 | Written by Kevin Christian Roque Giving transcends the mere exchange of objects. It is an act that imparts something beyond the physicality of the gift, leaving a fragment of oneself with the receiver. This profound act of sharing, encapsulated in the Filipino term “pababahagi,” is the essence of ArtGifts, a tradition initiated in 2012 during the term of Prof. Emeritus Benjie Cabangis as curator for the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (UPCFA) Gallery. Now in its eleventh year, ArtGifts returns with “Sari-saring Likhang Sining,” celebrating the spirit of giving that has been at the core of this annual fundraising show. The exhibit, featuring 44 artists from the UPCFA’s distinguished faculty and staff, showcases over 160 small artworks in various media, including ceramics, canvas paintings, ink works, photographs, sculptures, and prints – all available for sale. The title “Sari-sari” serves as a metaphor, drawing inspiration from the humble sari-sari store. Beyond its role as a commercial space, the sari-sari store is a communal hub where meaningful exchanges unfold, and stories are shared. In the context of ArtGifts, “Sari-sari” becomes a point of departure, symbolizing the gathering of artistic expressions and diverse narratives. Through the concept of “sari-sari,” the spirit of “pagbabahagi” is upheld, reinforcing the celebration of community and nurturing the diversity of people and artistry that define the UPCFA. The exhibit invites all to partake in this collective act of sharing, encouraging everyone to impart themselves through their creations, in whatever form they may take.

Florendo B. Lontoc The University of the Philippines (UP) is on the up and up again in terms of ranking among Asia’s top universities, climbing to No. 78 from the previous 87, remaining No. 18 in Southeast Asia and number one in the Philippines, according to the 2024 edition of Asia university rankings by the widely recognized and referenced Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). Sixteen Philippine universities made it to the Asia rankings, although UP is the only Philippine university to make it to the top 10% of the top 856 Asian universities, led by Peking University. UP’s overall score out of a possible 100 is 48, 13 points higher than the next-ranked university. The 2024 QS Asia University Rankings included a breakdown by Asian sub-region. UP placed 18th among the top 148 universities of Southeast Asia, where the National University of Singapore ranked number one. The current rankings of Philippine universities that made the QS Asia grade are as follows: UP, 78; Ateneo de Manila University, 137; De La Salle University, 154; University of Santo Tomas, 179; Adamson University, 551-600; Polytechnic University of the Philippines, 551-600; University of San Carlos, 551-600; Mapua University, 601-650; Silliman University, 601-650; Ateneo de Davao University, 651-700; Far Eastern University, 701-750; Mindanao State University (MSU)-Iligan Institute of Technology, 701-750; Saint Louis University, 751-800; Lyceum of the Philippines University, 801+; MSU-Marawi, 801+; and Xavier University, 801+. The rankings are based on scores for academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, faculty-staff with PhD, papers per faculty, citations per paper, international research network, international faculty, international students, inbound exchange, and outbound exchange. Based on the 2024 edition scores, UP’s biggest advantage in the Philippines appears to be in the indicators of international research network and academic reputation. It scored 68.4 out of a possible 100 in international research network. The closest university in terms of this indicator only managed a score of 14.5. It is also where UP made the biggest improvement in score from the previous year, when it managed to get 52.1. UP’s academic reputation is unparalleled in the country, with its score of 61.2, 20 points higher than the next highest score from a Philippine university, 41.2. UP’s highest score, however, is in employer reputation at 77.7. The 2024 QS Asia University Rankings can be viewed at https://www.topuniversities.com/asia-university-rankings. The QS rankings portfolio was inaugurated in 2004 and published by the Times Higher Education (THE) Supplement as Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings. In 2009, THE broke from its partnership with QS in favor of Thomson Reuters and later, Elsevier, in coming out with the THE World University Rankings. |

Photo by Jonathan Madrid, UPMPRO. Starting on January 15, 2024, professionals engaged in climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) work can enroll in the University of the Philippines’ Basics of Resilience Online Courses. This collaborative program was launched on December 5 at the UP Resilience Institute (UP RI) building in UP Diliman, Quezon City. The UP RI and the UP Open University Faculty of Management and Development Studies (UPOU-FMDS) designed the online courses especially for crises managers, CCA-DRR practitioners, and climate action partners and stakeholders. According to the proponents of this program, the series of microcourses to be offered through UPOU’s Open and Distance Learning (ODL) modality can be taken as standalone courses and be eventually credited to a Diploma or even a Master’s degree. To introduce content of the online courses, Prof. Alfredo Mahar A. Lagmay, UP RI Executive Director, delivered a 30-minute lecture on the disaster context in the Philippines. He explained CCA-DRR terminologies, some of the natural hazards and the country’s experiences during the past decades, and what must be done given that the Philippines also ranks first in the World Risk Index. Opening Remarks of UPOU-FMDS Dean Joane V. Serrano. Photo by Jonathan Madrid, UPMPRO Lecture of UPRI Executive Director Alfredo Mahar A. Lagmay. Photo by Jonathan Madrid, UPMPRO. UP and CCA-DRR officials delivered inspirational messages during the hybrid face-to-face and online launch of the program. More than 400 attended this event. Prof. Ruben M. Gamala, UP RI Director for Education, said this program is a welcome opportunity for those who cannot leave their workplace or community to study. UPOU-FMDS Dean Joane V. Serrano explained that the courses would provide necessary knowledge not only to those in CCA-DRR professions, but also to those in underserved sectors and other stakeholders to enable them to build resilience in their respective communities. UPOU Chancellor Melinda Dela Peña Bandalaria added that the program’s micro-credentialing framework is transformational and can be a model for UP’s new initiatives and the country’s higher education institutions. Office of Civil Defense Undersecretary Ariel F. Nepomuceno expressed hope that the online courses will capacitate more CCA-DRR professionals who will engage more people in creating safe, sustainable and resilient communities. Climate Change Commission Secretary Robert E.A. Borje said the initiative affirms the academe’s role in resilience building and is a huge step forward in making education accessible. Message of UP President Angelo A. Jimenez. Photo by Jonathan Madrid, UPMPRO. A final photo to conclude the launch. Photo by Jonathan Madrid, UPMPRO. UP President Angelo A. Jimenez emphasized the role of universities in facing the threats due to climate change. He said that universities must bring the message to the communities that climate action—climate justice—is the greatest moral imperative of this generation. “What is required is climate justice. There has to be equity as well,” he said. He challenged academics and researchers to be effective communicators and maximize their creativity in building a scientific culture or a culture of science. To conclude the program launch, Prof. Genaro A. Cuaresma, UP RI Director for Institution Building, presented a recap of the messages and lessons learned as he acknowledged the speakers, participants and co-organizers of the event. |

College can also mean school, provided that the latter offers undergraduate and graduate degrees. An autonomous college, in particular, is one such unit, though it does not fall under any constituent university and is a scaled-down version of a CU. Both college and university enjoy autonomy in the formulation of their thrusts, taking into consideration their regional location and how they can contribute not only to the UP System but to the country as well. When a college is declared autonomous from a CU, it is usually a temporary status until it meets all the requirements to be elevated to CU status. An example of this is UP Baguio. Since its inauguration in 1961, it was a regional unit of UP Diliman (UPD) and was then called UP College Baguio. In April 1999, the BOR approved its elevation from a UPD unit to an autonomous college under the Office of the President of the University and was called UP Baguio. In 2002, it was elevated to CU status. 3. How can one qualify for admission into UP? Traditionally, prospective UP students are screened through the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT). It is held once a year in the different constituent units of the University, as well as in select examination centers all over the country. The applications are filed prior to the date of the examinations. For student athletes, the Varsity Athletic Admission System (VAAS), administered by the College of Human Kinetics of UP Diliman, awards slots to exemplary applicants who may not have taken or passed the UPCAT, after a stringent system of tryouts. VAAS students are required to represent the university in national or international sports competitions to maintain their status as UP students. In light of the public health situation brought about by the spread of COVID 19, the University has adopted a different admissions process which will allow for the application, selection and admissions of applicants who can meet the rigorous requirements of UP. For more details on the process, please visit the Office of Admissions website: upcat.up.edu.ph. 4. What are the degree courses offered by UP? UP offers several undergraduate degree non-baccalaureate degree programs. For a full list, please visit this page from the Office of Admissions. 5. What is UP’s tuition rate? As the national university, UP is funded by the Philippine government. With this, the tuition fees of UP students are minimal. Added to this, UP students are also able to access other support services which would further defray the cost of their education. Through the Student Learning Assistance System, students can avail of discounted tuition fees to full tuition fee waivers, plus cash subsidies, according to their individual income brackets. 6. What financial assistance programs are available to UP students? The Office of Student Development Services provides financial assistance programs, scholarship opportunities and learning assistance packages for students of the University. Formerly known as the Socialized Tuition Office, the OSDS continues to perform its function as the policy and coordinating body for student financial assistance programs in UP. Visit the Office of Student Development Services website for more details on available opportunities, as well as the application process. 7. What kind of services and benefits can one expect as a UP student? UP students are represented by a Student Regent in the Board of Regents, the University’s highest governing body, as well as by a University Student Council in each constituent campus. UP students enjoy benefits such as selected free services and discounts in health service clinics within the system, and in the Philippine General Hospital, the premier tertiary referral center in the country. Meanwhile, the eLib allows them to access the largest database in the Philippines. They also have access to other facilities like UP’s many research centers and institutions. The spacious campuses in various UP units can inspire the students’ youthful and creative energies. Outside the conventional classrooms, students mount theater, dance and musical performances, art exhibits, poetry-reading sessions, and film screenings, that set their imagination free, quench their thirst for new experiences and explore the dimensions of their creativity. Many of these endeavors have now gone online due to the public health emergency. The vigorous online and offline cultural life in UP makes classes beyond the classroom shape a collective consciousness that is critical yet constructive, global yet uniquely Filipino, and imaginative yet rooted in the nation’s heritage.

https://up.edu.ph/philosophy-of-education-and-graduate-attributes/ | Philosophy of Education and Graduate Attributes – University of the Philippines | Philosophy of Education and Graduate Attributes A UP education seeks to produce graduates imbued with an abiding sense of responsibility to their people and nation, the skills and mindsets to improve human life, and a commitment to the freedom and welfare of all. Aside from mastery of knowledge in their specific disciplines, UP graduates must possess breadth of mind, strength of character, and generosity of spirit, fostered by a firm grounding in both the arts and sciences, and such specialist courses as their programs may require. They must be prepared to inclusively engage with society and the world at large, mindful of their people’s needs and capabilities, and keen to the challenges and opportunities of national development in this century of rapid global change. UP aims to achieve this through its General Education program, one that develops mind, body and spirit, which familiarize all its students with their culture and history and fosters a sense of shared citizenship, while equipping them with critical thinking, discernment and technical skills they will need to excel in their chosen professions.

The winner of the 2018 Dangal ng Bayan Award was admittedly nervous when her mother, a former faculty member at the UP College of Education, suggested having their photo taken with the tarpaulin celebrating her feat. “I was hoping nobody was there,” she said, “and that nobody would recognize me when we were having our family picture taken at the Oblation Plaza.” As far as her research is concerned, Cutiongco-de la Paz is quick to laud the contributions of her collaborators over her own. The clinical geneticist and current executive director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has certainly published on a broad range of subjects, from the genes implicated in rare diseases to our population’s genetic diversity. When asked, she tends to downplay her role in each of them. “None of these is just about me,” she says. Read the full story: The gene doctor will see you now Dr. Pablito Magdalita shows a specimen of Saba banana variety in his study on species that can adapt to climate change. (Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO) Dr. Pablito Magdalita He dreamed of becoming a doctor and now he is addressed as Dr. Pablito Magdalita. Instead of a medical degree, however, he has a PhD in Plant Breeding and Plant Biotechnology from the University of Queensland, Australia. “I went from wanting to help human health to plant health. It’s ultimately about wanting to help improve lives through science. I loved all my science classes in high school,” Magdalita says. Going into medicine was something his family couldn’t afford. His father was a coconut farmer and his mother was a storekeeper. Practicality and a scholarship from the Philippine Coconut Producers Federation, Inc. prompted him to take up agriculture at Luzonian University (now Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation) in Lucena City, Quezon in 1978. If it weren’t for that decision, Magdalita wouldn’t have started the journey to becoming the scientist he is today—one known for his work on numerous hibiscus hybrids, several varieties of fruits, and on plant breeding, genetics, and diseases. He holds a patent for the ACC oxidase gene and its use and is currently awaiting the grant of another patent from the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines for the coat protein of the papaya ringspot virus (PRSV).

Edeline Payawal When the air conditioning unit inside her hotel room in Leyte woke her up with its loud noise, Edeline Payawal could not have known how her life was going to change. Payawal is an Iska whose achievements have only become more meaningful since that fateful day on November 8, 2013. As the UP College of Mass Communication alumna tells it, “At the hallway, a guest told me to transfer to the hotel’s main building while the water was ankle-deep. I went back in to our room to check on my friends; however by the time we had to leave the building, the water was already neck-deep. Then suddenly, the roof broke down so that the rain started to pour on our floor. And we only had our room’s window to access the hotel’s main building by crossing over a water tank right beside it. We were 40 people in the building who had to climb out the window and cross over the water tank while braving the gusting winds of Typhoon Yolanda.” “I can vividly remember the sound of everyone in despair. At that moment, I resigned myself to the fact that I was going to die that day. I prepared myself for that moment. But all of us were able to get to the main building,” she continues.

https://up.edu.ph/up-principles-for-responsible-artificial-intelligence/ | University of the Philippines Principles for Responsible and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence – University of the Philippines | University of the Philippines Principles for Responsible and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence A UP Cebu Fablab workshop features IoT technology. (Photo courtesy of the Fablab UP Cebu Facebook) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the discipline concerned with the design and development of automated intelligent systems that perceive, reason out, formulate decisions, and act in an environment to achieve a set of measurable goals. AI systems embody computational structures that mimic human or animal cognition to process data, learn from experiences, and decide, plan, and act autonomously to satisfy a programmed objective. In this document, AI is appreciated as machines that exhibit a certain level of human or animal intelligence, capable of problem-solving, decision-making, learning, and rational behavior. Further, AI is also a “socio-technical system” where “the processes used to develop [this] technology are more than their mathematical and computational constructs.”¹ Fully understanding AI means taking into account”the values and behavior modeled from the datasets, the humans who interact with them, and the complex organizational factors that go into their commission, design, development, and ultimate deployment.”² Although the spread of AI provides excellent opportunities, it also creates significant risks. AI makes lives easier by automating tasks and providing information and recommendations that suit individual needs. It is harnessed in making decisions on who gets a job, who is approved for a loan, what kind of medical treatment a patient receives, and what communities get policed. AI can also be an essential tool for development. Al systems can revolutionize healthcare, transportation, and agriculture; aid in responding to climate issues; help in addressing poverty and hunger; and enhance personalized learning and improve education management. A study on AI and sustainable development goals (SDGs) published in 2020 revealed that “AI can enable the accomplishment of 134 targets across all the goals.”³ However, the adoption of AI has led to increasing risks and hazards. The 2023 AI Index Report indicates that incidents of “ethical misuse of AI has increased 26 times since 2012.”⁴ Some experts are worried that people will misuse these systems to spread disinformation. Estimates show that AI deployment in the economy could also lead to massive job losses. The previously cited study on AI and SDG also reported that AI “may also inhibit 59 [SDG] targets.”⁵ In education, AI challenges include access for marginalized groups of students and privacy violations, such as unethical data collection and processing. Currently, many are worried that ChatGPT, Google Bard, and other generative AI applications open the door to cheating and plagiarism. There are also a few who fear that AI could slip out of human control. The Philippines is committed to utilizing AI for development. The Department of Trade and Industry has developed an AI roadmap focusing on four areas: (1) digitization and infrastructure, (2) research and development, (3) workforce development, and (4) regulation. The Emerging Technology Development Division (ETDD) of the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, Emerging Technology Research, and Development (DOST-PCIEERD) issued a report titled Artificial Intelligence and Information & Communications Technology. According to the secretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology, “…government should come in and find ways to regulate it to ensure that AI is beneficial, that it is interoperable, it is transparent, and it is accountable.”⁶ AI is seen to “make a significant contribution to the Philippine economy by 2030.”⁷ In terms of use, the Generative AI Global Interest Report 2023 revealed that the Philippines has “the highest monthly search volume for AI tools overall: 5,052 per 100,000 population, mostly for text Al.”⁸ However, in Government AIReadiness 1ndex2022, referring to a government’s readiness to use AI in delivering public services, the Philippines ranked of 181 countries.⁹ While it scored higher than the global average, it lags behind Singapore (2nd) Malaysia(29th ), Thailand (31st ), and Indonesia (43rd). The University of the Philippines (UP) is actively engaged in developing AI in the country. AI is taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels. UP has the country’s first Ph.D. program in AI, and UP faculty members and researchers are active in AI development. The UP Center for Intelligent Systems will conduct transdisciplinary research and education on artificial intelligence, data science, and complex systems. For a national university that is committed to developing Al in the country, the challenge remains: how to promote positive and responsible use of AI and mitigate its negative consequences. It is therefore adopting the following Principles for Responsible and Trustworthy AI in order to provide guardrails and indicate the way forward on the development and use of AI in the University and the country. It is also hoped that the adoption of these principles shall intensify the national discourse on the role of AI in national development. University of the Philippines Principles for Responsible and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence 1. COMMON GOOD. AI should benefit the Filipino people in particular, and humanity, in general by fostering inclusive economic growth, effective governance, sustainable development, and enhanced well-being while protecting the environment. AI systems should further the rule of law, human rights, and democracy. 2. EMPOWERMENT. AI should promote self-determination and bolster the capacity of humans to shape their future. Particularly, AI must empower vulnerable and marginalized groups. 3. CULTURAL SENSITIVITY. AI systems must be culturally responsive and culturally sustaining. Cultural norms, values, beliefs, and practices of users must be respected in designing, developing, and deploying AI systems. 4. PRIVACY. AI systems must incorporate privacy-by-design principles. Informed consent from users and maintaining the confidentiality of personal information must be upheld, when users provide information and when the system collects information about the users. 5. ACCOUNTABILITY. Individuals, groups, departments, institutes, colleges, and constituent universities involved in the development, deployment, and use of AI must take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. UP shall put into place mechanisms to hold the relevant stakeholders accountable for the AI systems actions and outcomes. In Research and Development 6. MEANINGFUL HUMAN CONTROL. Humans should have decision-making authority over the AI ‘s actions, decisions, and behaviors. AI systems should not operate in an unpredictable or unmanageable manner. 7. TRANSPARENCY. People should be able to understand how AI systems work. Individuals should be informed if AI-enabled tools are used. To the extent possible, the methods should be explainable. Finally, users should be able to understand AI-based outcomes and identify ways to seek remedies to harms that they may cause. 8. FAIRNESS. AI should be evaluated for gender bias, other forms of unfairness, and all forms of discrimination, especially in the data, models, and algorithms that are used. Collaborative procedures should be in place to actively identify, mitigate, and remedy these harms. AI developers should be mindful of its unintended consequences. 9. SAFETY. AI should never endanger lives. AI systems must function securely and safely. AI systems must be robust. In this context, robustness refers to the capacity of AI systems to endure and surmount adverse circumstances, including digital security threats. Compromising safety and security is unacceptable. 10. ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY. AI should be evaluated in terms of its impacts on sustainability. AI models and tools must minimize risks to the environment. Developers should use computing resources more efficiently. In Education 11. PRIMACY OF LEARNING GOALS. Decisions on the use of AI in teaching should start with the educational needs and priorities of learners, UP shall adopt AI systems that promote learner-centered pedagogy and foster collaborative and social learning. AI shall be used to improve the assessment of multiple dimensions of competencies and outcomes. 12. HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT, UP shall strengthen existing programs and develop new ones to ensure that the country’s Al workforce is highly skilled and ethical. These programs shall target women and other groups that are often excluded. 13. CAPACITY BUILDING. All members of the UP community must be AI literate. Additionally, faculty members must be trained in effectively using and integrating AI into teaching and learning practices. These two initiatives are necessary if faculty and students are to jointly innovate and benefit from the new technology as it further evolves. 14. EDUCATION MANAGEMENT AND DELIVERY. AI should improve university decision-making; make for more efficient administration, including admissions, enrollment, registration, human resource management, procurement, and inventory; and enable prompt regulatory compliance. 15. COLLABORATION. UP shall work with other universities, colleges, and research institutions to share best practices, co-develop AI courses and programs, undertake joint research and development, and advocate for responsible and trustworthy AI. These Principles for Responsible and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence shall serve as guardrails for our community and stakeholders. Tensions are anticipated between these principles; hence, there is a need for policies, programs, and protocols that balance innovation and regulation. Towards this, a multidisciplinary UP AI Advancement Committee (AIAC) is established. The ultimate goal of the AIAC is to create an empowering environment where members of the UP community can continue to openly discuss the benefits and concerns associated with using AI and continue to come up with better policies and guidelines. This environment should also encourage the development and co-creation of AI tools among stakeholders. The AIAC shall also create a culture of cooperation, trust, and transparency among the university community, private sector, civil society, government, international organizations, and other stakeholders. Immediately, the AIAC shall draft, for approval of the UP President, issuances to operationalize the development, deployment, and use of responsible and trustworthy AI. These issuances include, but are not limited to, the development of the following: AI code of conduct based on the above-mentioned principles; AI development program to accelerate AI research and development in the University; Implementing framework for AI in UP education, including an Al literacy program, a faculty and staff upskilling program, and a research and teaching program on AI in society; and, AI and digital infrastructure development to support the use of Al in teaching, research, and use. This includes providing equitable access to AI by members of the UP community The UP President will appoint the chair and members of the AIAC and shall provide the necessary support for the committee to be able to discharge its functions. A multi-sectoral UP AI Advisory Board (AIAB) is also created. The AIAB shall advise the Board of Regents, through the UP President, on the following matters related to responsible and trustworthy AI: Ensuring UP leadership in AI research, development, and teaching Progressing UP’s AI initiatives, managing and coordinating related activities, developing a resource leverage strategy, and enhancing opportunities for various sectors of society Preparing the present and future Philippine workforce to use AI in all sectors of the economy Coordinating ongoing AI research, development, and teaching activities among all agencies, higher educational institutions, and other organizations to ensure collaborations The AIAB shall be composed of leaders from various sectors of society including, but not limited to, business / private sector, government / public sector, academia, and civil society. The UP President shall appoint the chair and members of the AIAB. The AIAC shall provide secretariat support to the AIAB. ¹ ‘Towards a Standard for Identifying and Managing Bias in Artificial Intelligence NiSTSpeciaI Publication 1270 March 2022 https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.Sp.1270.pdf ² Ibid ³ Vinuesa, R., Azizpour, H., Leite, I. et al. “The role of artificial intelligence in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals” Nature Communications 11, 233 (2020) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-14108-y ⁴ https://aiindex.stanford.edu/report/ ⁵ Vinuesa, The role of AI in achieving the SDG ⁶ https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2023/6/15/dict-ai-regulation-workplace.html ⁷ The Economic Impact of Generative AI: The Future of Work in the Philippines https://accesspartnership.com/the-economic-impact-of-generative-ai-the-future-of-work-in-the-philippines/ ⁸ https://www.electronicshub.org/generative-ai-global-interest-report-2023/ Oxford Insight Government AIReadiness Index 2022 available at https://www.unido.org/sites/default/files/files/2023-01/Government AI Readiness 2022 FV.pdf.

https://up.edu.ph/quality-policy/ | Quality Policy – University of the Philippines | Quality Policy The University of the Philippines commits to meeting standards of academic excellence as guided by the UP Charter and defined within the changing context of national, regional, and global developments that profoundly impact universities worldwide. UP is committed to creating and sustaining a quality culture in all its programs and constituent units supported by a quality management system of global standards to fulfill its vision, mission, and mandate. With this system, UP shall: • Produce graduates who will lead in the advancement of knowledge, contribute to national development, and thrive in a changing global landscape; • Undertake research and creative work to contribute to the pursuit, creation, and translation of knowledge into innovative solutions to national and global problems and challenges; • Spearhead public service work that brings about meaningful change in the community and the country; • Create an environment that supports the holistic development of its students, faculty, research and extension personnel, professional staff, administrative staff, and other stakeholders; • Deliver stakeholder-driven support services and adhere to the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements; • Align our policies on research and innovation, activities in teaching and learning, and outreach engagements with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

https://up.edu.ph/university-seal/ | University Seal – University of the Philippines | University Seal The Seal that is in current use in the University was approved by the Board of Regents at its 77th meeting on February 25, 1913. It shows an eagle with its wings spread and perched on a shield that carries three icons representing the fields of specialization in the University, namely, agriculture, engineering, and medicine. Inscribed on the circular band that surrounds it are the words “University of the Philippines” on top and “1908” at the bottom. An earlier seal, however, was utilized by the University before 1913. It was adapted from the coat-of-arms of the Philippines approved by the Philippine Commission in 1905. It showed an eagle with outstretched wings on the crest of a shield that symbolized the city of Manila and the 13 colonies of America which fought for independence against Great Britain. Like the eagle in the coat-of-arms of the Philippines, the eagle in the University Seal was the American bald or white-headed type. This was the same eagle which appeared on the Seal that was approved in 1913. The eagle is among the most predominant animals used in heraldry, the art of devising or adorning insignias or coat-of-arms. It was used in the national emblems of ancient Rome, France, and the United States. Recognized as the king of birds, it has become a favorite in heraldry as a particular symbol for courage and power. The most common attitude by which the eagle is depicted in heraldry is with its wings spread out and pointing upwards. The head is usually turned to the right, that is, to the observer’s left. The Great Seal of the United States features the eagle in this position, from which the seals of the Philippines and the University were based. Several variations of the eagle can be gleaned, however, from the different instances in which the university has appeared from the 1910s to the pre-sent. These mutations include the positioning of the wings, the direction where the head turns, and the icons that represent the fields of specialization in the University. The establishment of UP in 1908 was considered the early 1900s as the best the American educational system had to offer. The University was also seen as the foundation upon which Filipino nationalism would take root. Conscious of its role in national development, the University initiated a move to redesign its coat-of-arms which was seen as a remnant of colonialism. President Salvador P. Lopez opened a competition through Memorandum Circular dated November 13, 1971. He stated, “Just as a new seal was designed for the Philippines when it became independent in 1946, so a new seal for the University should have been designed and adopted at that time…. The eagle appears to be particularly inappropriate as the dominant element in the seal of the university.” The winning design was made by Galo B. Ocampo, then director of the National Museum. The move to adapt it as the new university seal was deferred by the Board of Regents for further study. Up to the present, different versions of the university seal as in existence. These are being used by the different units and offices of the University in their publications and communications. Novelty items, carrying the different versions of the seal are being sold by commercial establishments doing business inside the campus. There is a need to standardize the seal of the University, in the light of the current proliferation. Article XV Section 83 of the Code of the University of the Philippines describes its design, its diameter, and the inscriptions “University of the Philippines” and “1908.” This is the only instance where the genus of the seal is specified (as approved in the 77th Board of Regents meeting held in 1913). But the position of the bird, details of the icons and colors were not indicated. No records have yet been uncovered to provide for the appropriation of the university colors of forest green and maroon in the university seal. Since the seal of an institution is not only a mark for its legal and public documents, communications, and publications, but more importantly, a symbol of the institution, then clarity in its elements must be imposed. A seal does not only feature a distinctive object that would make identification clear and easy. More than that, it signifies the sentiments and aspirations that guide the institution and its constituents. The current directive by the Heraldry Division of the National Historical Institute regarding the design of seals discourages the use of foreign heraldic objects and this criteria has a bearing on the university seal. Though a change in the elements of the seal may be considered, the study of the conception, clarification of its elements, and its standardization are of utmost need to avert the indiscriminate proliferation of the university seal. The university seal, with the eagle as the dominant object including the icons of the fields of specialization, faithfully symbolize what the University aspires for—the highest in the field of knowledge as well as a commitment to the nation. It is only proper that the symbol of the State University be given the necessary serious attentions it deserves. (This article by Professor Armando P. Burgos of the UP Diliman College of Fine Arts was reprinted in the May 2011 issue of the UP Newsletter with permission from the author and first publisher. It originally appeared in the August-September 1998 issue of the Diliman UPDate.)

https://up.edu.ph/budget-and-finances/ | Budget and Finances – University of the Philippines | Budget and Finances As the public national university, the University of the Philippines is considered by many as a model in the pursuit of democratic principles of accountability and transparency in governance. This ideal is not only manifested in the operations of the university but also explicitly expressed in its charter. Under Section 3 of the University of the Philippines Charter of 2008 (Republic Act 9500), the University of the Philippines considers it its duty to “(h)Provide democratic governance in the University based on collegiality, representation, accountability, transparency and active participation of its constituents, and promote the holding of fora for students, faculty, research, extension and professional staff (REPS), staff, and alumni to discuss non-academic issues affecting the University.” Section 26 of the Charter also states that “The national university shall submit an annual report to Congress containing the financial statements, statement of assets and liabilities, actual projected income from tuition fees and other revenue sources, contracts and investment entered into pursuant to Section 22 (c) hereof and programs of expenditure. All accounts and disbursements of the national university shall be audited by the Commission on Audit.” With these principles and provisions in mind, the university makes available its Financial Statements, Internal Operating Budget and Budget Proposals.

https://up.edu.ph/office-of-the-university-president/ | Office of the University President – University of the Philippines | Office of the University President Photo by Misael Bacani, UP MPRO. Angelo A. Jimenez President University of the Philippines Angelo A. Jimenez is a labor lawyer and a respected authority on global worker migration whose work has contributed to the establishment of the Philippines’ new Department of Migrant Workers, as well as the labor migration regulatory framework in countries in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. A former Deputy Administrator of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, Jimenez’s expertise and experience in the field of migrant worker welfare have brought him to different parts of the world. He served as Labor Attache in Japan, Kuwait, and Iraq. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo awarded him citations for ensuring the safety of Filipino workers during the Israel-Lebanon conflict and for the rescue of a Filipino hostage held in Iraq. While at the Department of Labor and Employment, Jimenez represented the agency on the Tripartite Industrial Peace Council, Governing Board of the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, and the Inter-Agency Media Task Force on Overseas Filipino Workers. At the Office of the President, he represented the Office of the Senior Deputy Executive Secretary in the Presidential Fact-Finding and Policy Advisory Commission on the Protection of Overseas Filipinos––better known as the Gancayco Commission––and the Cabinet Committee on Maritime and Ocean Affairs during the administration of the late President Fidel V. Ramos. With his extensive background in labor migration, Jimenez has been tapped as an expert lecturer by the UP Centre International de Formation des Autorités et Leaders or International Training Center for Authorities and Leaders Philippines, where he has given lectures on gender-responsive migration governance, ethical recruitment principles, migrant protection, and crisis preparedness. He has also written papers for organizations such as the International Organization for Migration Philippines and the Blas Ople Policy Center, focusing on immigration law and labor recruitment policies, processes, and practices. He is a regular lecturer on Philippine overseas labor laws at the UP Law Center’s Mandatory Continuing Legal Education program. The global outlook of Jimenez is not just a result of the work he accomplished overseas but the education he received abroad. Jimenez graduated with a Master in Public Management degree from the National University of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and was a Lee Kuan Yew Fellow at the Harvard School of Government. His understanding of the factors that have led to the Filipino diaspora, on the other hand, is the product of his education and experiences in Butuan, Agusan del Norte––where he was born and raised––and in UP Diliman, where he obtained both his Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts (Sociology) degrees. As a law student at UP Diliman, he was an Associate Editor of the Philippine Collegian and President of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines. He was also elected Chairperson of the University Student Council and, in 1992, was appointed Student Regent to the UP Board of Regents (BOR) by the late President Corazon C. Aquino. He later rejoined the BOR when he was appointed Regent by former President Rodrigo R. Duterte in 2016, during which he also served concurrently as Trustee of the UP Foundation, Inc. A son of Mindanao, Jimenez believes that the Philippines’ premier state university must be a hub for transformational change and that engaging communities and helping solve real-world problems should be a part of the UP academic experience. Ultimately, the goal is for UP to become a global university that asks the consequential questions of our time and, acting locally, strives to address the serious issues confronting the country and the world. Roles and Powers of the University President The UP President is the Chief Academic Officer, Head of the University Faculty, and Chief Executive Officer of the University for a fixed term of 6 years. The President is expected to pursue goals stated in the UP Charter and pursue the Vision-Mission (which is later refined into a 6-year strategic development plan) s/he pledged to the community. Majority of the powers of the UP President are provided for in the UP Charter and determined by the Board of Regents as reflected in the Handbook on Existing Delineation of Authority in the University (2008).

https://up.edu.ph/university-history/ | University of the Philippines | Emerging Excellence: UP in the Past 115 Years On June 18, 1908, a hundred and fifteen years ago, the University of the Philippines (UP) was founded through Act No. 1870 of the Philippine Assembly. UP was the result of the recommendation of Secretary of Public Instruction, William Morgan Shuster to the Philippine Commission, the upper house of the Philippine Assembly. It was meant to fill the need to meet the increasing demands for instruction in the higher levels of learning and to provide professional studies in medicine, law, engineering or applied sciences. Act No. 1870 authorized the Governor General to establish the University in the “city of Manila, or at any point he may deem most convenient.” The UP was to give “advanced instruction in literature, philosophy, the sciences and arts, and to give professional and technical training” to every qualified student regardless of “age, sex, nationality, religious belief and political affiliation.” According to UP’s Bulletin No. 1, the University was seen as “the logical outgrowth and culmination of efforts made during the past ten years to establish a complete system of education for the Philippine islands.” Over the past one hundred years, the University of the Philippines has evolved from the pinnacle of the American-established educational system in the country, to a “University for the Filipino” as envisioned by its first president, Murray Simpson Bartlett. The early years UP first opened on Calle Isaac Peral (now United Nations Avenue) and Padre Faura in downtown Manila in 1909, with: the College of Medicine (which, as the Philippine Medical School established in 1905, predated the University by three years); the School of Fine Arts (1909); the College of Liberal Arts (1909); the College of Veterinary Medicine (1910); the College of Engineering (1910); the College of Law (1910); and, the College of Agriculture in Los Baños, Laguna (1906). The UP president at that time, Murray Bartlett, vowed that, as a “University for the Filipino,” UP must be “supported by the people’s money,” with a charter framed by the people’s representatives and “its hope based on the confidence and sympathy of the people.” In 1915, a lawyer, Ignacio Villamor, would be chosen president of the University. He would be the first Filipino to lead what had by that time grown to become the Philippines’ premier higher educational institution. Under Villamor, UP continued to grow with the addition of units such as: the Conservatory of Music; the University High School; the College of Education; and, the Junior College in Cebu City. In 1935, UP’s famous statue, the Oblation, was installed at the Manila campus. The statue was the creation of National Artist Guillermo Tolentino and inspired by his interpretation of the second stanza of Dr. Jose Rizal’s “Mi Ultimo Adios.” The Transfer to Diliman The Second World War saw the destruction of several buildings of UP in Manila, Los Baños, Cebu, and Iloilo. In 1947, the Philippine General Hospital formally became a part of UP through Executive Order No. 94. In 1948, under the stewardship of UP President Bienvenido Gonzales, much of UP was transferred from its campus in Manila to a bigger campus in Diliman, Quezon City. The 50’s and 60’s saw the transformation of UP from the brainchild of American hopes and dreams for the Philippines into a bastion of intense nationalism. UP President Vicente Sinco preserved the University’s integrity from communist paranoia and partisan politics, while UP President Carlos P. Romulo introduced Filipinism, student activism and faculty dissent. The First Quarter Storm UP President Salvador P. Lopez would see the culmination of UP’s freedom-loving, activist spirit facing off against a rising autocracy, from the events of the first quarter of the year 1970, now dubbed the “First Quarter Storm,” to 1971 when the Diliman Republic become the Diliman Commune. From January to February, the campus became a battleground between militant students protesting the deteriorating conditions of the country, and policemen. The students completely barricaded the campus and established full control of the facilities. There were several attempts by the police to mount an assault on the campus, but they were unsuccessful. The student barricades at Palma Hall and the University Avenue in the Diliman campus rose again during the time of UP President Edgardo Angara, this time in protest against a tuition hike. The nationalist and activist spirit of the First Quarter Storm would continue to burn within the University through the succeeding decades, firmly establishing UP as the bulwark of critical thinking and free speech, and a haven for the voiceless and marginalized. A new call arose to counter state authoritarianism and foreign intrusion in the country’s state of affairs: “Serve the people.” Development and expansion The University continued to develop and expand through the years, even as it navigated through the conditions of a dictatorship. Development-oriented programs and institutions were established, such as: the Institute for Small-Scale Industries, the Population Institute, and the Asian Labor Education Center (now the School of Labor and Industrial Relations) in UP Diliman, and the Dairy Training and Research Institute in UP Los Baños, all of which were founded during the time of UP President Romulo. Also established were: during the term of UP President Lopez, the Agrarian Reform Institute at the College of Agriculture, the Institute of Social Work and Community Development, the Philippine Center for Economic Development, the Institute of Fisheries Development and Research, and the Marine Sciences Center; the Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, the Transport Training Center, the National Institute of Biotechnology and Microbiology, and the Third World Studies Program during the succeeding terms of UP Presidents Onofre D. Corpuz and Emanuel V. Soriano; and, the National Institute of Geological Sciences, the Natural Sciences Research Institute, the National Institute of Physics, and the Center for Integrative and Development Studies, under UP President Edgardo J. Angara. By the mid-70s, UP had become a multi-campus University, with UP Los Baños granted autonomy in 1973; the Health Science Center in UP Manila, in 1977; and UP Visayas, in 1979. UP Diliman would be declared an autonomous campus in 1985 retroactive to 1981. Other UP campuses included: UP College Baguio, UP College Cebu, UP College Tacloban, UP College in Clark Air Base, and UP Extension in San Fernando, Pampanga. Social transformation and service to the nation Through the next two decades, UP looked inward through constant self-examination and toward promoting social transformation that aimed to build a just, humane and democratic society. The review of academic programs and General Education programs were conducted so as to make these relevant and meaningful to the development of Philippine society, even as the University continued to expand. Student financial assistance and socialized tuition programs were established; issues in the use of the Filipino language were tackled; and programs to enrich Filipino culture and arts were expanded, parallel to the drive toward modernization and the focus on science and technology. UP extended its resources and expertise to aid communities and regions affected by the massive earthquake of 1990 and the historic eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. Indeed, in the 1990s, UP deepened its tradition of service to the nation by harnessing the spirit of volunteerism and selfless service through the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod or Oblation Corps. The University also sought to democratize access to UP education by opening two more constituent universities in 1995: UP Open University and UP Mindanao. A national university in the 21st century As the world moved inexorably toward globalization, greater interconnectivity and a knowledge-based economy due to rapid advancements in information and communication technology, higher education institutions were compelled to rethink their roles. Under the successive terms of UP Presidents Francisco Nemenzo, Emerlinda R. Roman, Alfredo E. Pascual, and Danilo L. Concepcion, UP was no exception. For the first two decades of the 21st century, physical infrastructure across all the constituent units were modernized so as to keep up with the evolving demands of the Information Age. This included: improving Internet and WiFi facilities for greater connectivity within and among the different constituent universities; automating libraries; conducting academic and administrative processes online; and, constructing and improving facilities and laboratories for teaching and research in science and technology, recognized as the drivers of economic development. The academic infrastructure was also bolstered through improvements in faculty support, student assistance and accessibility, and through incentives for scientific and creative endeavors. The University’s General Education Program, which instilled and nurtured the Tatak UP among its students, was continually reviewed and revised in light of the changing contexts and conditions of the 21st century. Internationalization also gained prominence, with UP embracing accreditation and international benchmarking so as to fulfill its mandate to become a top regional and global higher education institution. The year 2008 was a significant one for UP for two reasons. First, it was the year the University celebrated its first 100th anniversary. And second, it was the year Republic Act No. 9500, “An Act to Strengthen the University of the Philippines as the National University,” was signed into law, amending Act No. 1870 and establishing UP as the country’s national university. With this—and with UP Baguio attaining the status of constituent university in 2002 and UP Cebu in 2010—the University of the Philippines was redefined as the UP System composed of constituent universities. Changing paradigms, constant values By 2017, UP had grown into a massive University System consisting of eight constituent universities located in 17 campuses throughout the Philippine archipelago. Under its Charter of 2008, UP is mandated to perform its unique and distinctive leadership in higher education and development in multiple roles: as a teaching university, a graduate university, a research university, a public service university, and as a regional and global university. Underpinning the expansion of its role in national development, however, is the University’s unchanging commitment to its guiding principles of honor and excellence in the service of the country—a true “University for the Filipino.” UP continues to grow and expand, building cutting-edge facilities and improving existing ones in order to create an optimal environment for learning and knowledge creation. Its community of scientists, researchers, experts, artists and humanists continue to put UP on the global map of breaking and cutting-edge research, such as the discovery in 2019 of a new human species, the Homo luzonensis, by an international multidisciplinary team led by a UP associate professor. In keeping with UP’s mandate to serve the needs and aspirations of the Filipino people, UP scientists and researchers continue to harness their research to meet the needs of and help develop Philippine industries, communities and the general public. UP students also continue to win recognition in national and international circles in every field, from science and engineering to music and the arts. UP’s sustained efforts toward improving its teaching and pedagogy, its research environment and output, internationalization efforts and public service initiatives have borne fruit in its performance in recent world university rankings. In the 2020 Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings, UP climbed 30 points from its position in 2019 to place 65th out of 489 universities. Since 2017, the University has been featured in the THE Asia University Rankings, entering the top 100 for the first time in 2019, soaring 61 places from its 156th position in 2018. A year before that, UP belonged to the 201st-250th ranking group. UP has also appeared in the top 33 percent of the 2020 QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) World University Rankings, placing 356th in the top 1,000 institutions from around the world, and climbing 28 notches from the previous year to reach its highest standing since 2014. UP continues to hold the top spot among Philippine universities. The third function of a university—that of rendering extension service—has been greatly expanded and enhanced in UP. Through institutions such as the UP Padayon Public Service Office, the UP Resilience Institute and the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod, the University has become a public service institution fully conscious of its responsibility to produce ethical leaders, engage with communities, and translate the results of UP’s research into products and processes useful to people. Into the third decade of the 21st century For the past 115 years, the University of the Philippines has proven itself worthy of the title of the country’s national university. Surviving world wars, colonial occupations, civil rights struggles and cultural upheavals, economic downturns and upsurges, UP has played a role in shaping the nation’s political and social consciousness, and ultimately helping to define the national identity. From the education of ordinary Filipinos under Americans at the time of UP President Bartlett to its journey onto another century under the stewardship of UP President Angelo A. Jimenez, the University has produced: a Nobel Peace Prize winner; a Pulitzer Prize awardee; 39 National Scientists; 50 National Artists; nine National Social Scientists; seven out of the 16 Presidents of the Republic; 15 Chief Justices of the Supreme Court; and, tens of thousands of doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers serving in the country and abroad, as well as hundreds of thousands of graduates in other academic fields. All the strengths that UP possesses have been brought to bear in 2020. In the face of a global pandemic, the University rose to this new and unprecedented challenge with its characteristic brilliance, courage, and a generosity of spirit, mobilizing resources and coming together as a nationwide and even global community to come to the aid of the country and its people. UP scientists and engineers have created locally produced, accurate and affordable COVID-19 test kits, personal protective equipment, sanitation facilities, and much-needed sanitation chemicals. UP social scientists and researchers have mapped the progression of the disease through the country, creating databases and generating research that would inform policy and decision-making on the national and local levels. UP artists and musicians have shared works that inspire, give hope, and pay tribute to the country’s heroes. UP students, alumni, administrators and residents have come together to help the members of the UP community survive the viral outbreak and the quarantine. And UP’s doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers through the UP Philippine General Hospital once again heroically serve those in need, in spite of the risks to life and well-being. As people come to grips with the new realities in a world indelibly altered by a global disaster and economic and geo-political upheavals, the country will once again look to UP. And the University, as it has done in the past 115 years, will once again answer the call to serve as: a bastion of knowledge, reason, ideas and insight; as a center for social transformation; and, as a University for the Filipino.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE This three-day webinar conference aims to discuss the varied cultural legacies of the European-Asian encounter. “Sabang” (meaning juncture of bodies of water in Visayan and several other Philippine languages) encapsulates the meeting of cultures and the centrality of the Philippines in these exchanges. While the conference’s inspiration draws primarily from the Philippine-Spanish experience, it also seeks presentations on and from neighboring Southeast Asian countries that: • Highlight similarities and differences with the Philippine experience. • Employ inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches to understand cultural exchange and hybridity. SUBTHEMES Abstracts must hew to any of the folllowing subthemes: • Cultural hybridity • Enduring pre-colonial traditions • Maritime technology and culture • Culinary exchange and influence • Literary and artistic traditions • Exploration and travel narratives • Language and translation • Religious syncretism • Islamic-Christian encounters • Indigenous diplomacy and treaty-making • Emergent urban culture • Scripts and textual traditions • Migrant and colonial cultures • Resistance and rebellions KEYNOTE SPEAKERS • Rene Escalante, PhD, Chair, National Historical Commission • Leonard Y. Andaya, PhD, University of Hawai’i at Manoa • Birgit Tremml-Werner, PhD, Linnaeus University, Sweden DEADLINES AND DATES TO REMEMBER • Deadline of abstract submission: 15 January 2021 (Saturday) • Announcement of accepted abstracts: 1 February (Monday) • Submission of full paper: 10 March (Wednesday) ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The Philippines’ entanglement with Hispanic and Hispanicized cultures from the sixteenth century facilitated the flow and exchange of goods and ideas to and from Asia, on the one hand and the Americas and Europe, on the other. The Philippines, Manila in particular, played a crucial role not only as an important trans-shipment point for American silver, Chinese porcelain, textiles, and other products, but also as a melting pot of cultures. The 500th anniversary of the Philippine-Spanish encounter provides an opportune moment to analyze and reflect on the vaunted yet largely understudied intercultural encounters between Europe and Asia. “Sabang” envisions a lively online exchange of ideas by both young and senior scholars from Asia, the Americas, and Europe. It intends to have several modalities of exchange, namely roundtable discussions, keynote lectures, and panel presentations. SUBMISSION PROCEDURES No submission/registration fees to be paid. Prepare and encode the following via the Submission Form (access to link below). • Title of paper • Abstract • Brief statement of the argument • Bionote • Zoom email address View details and access Submission Form in the Conference web page.

Sila ay binubuo ng mga health, laboratory at security personnel na naka-assign sa Kanlungang Palma at UP Health Service (UPHS). Bilang pagsunod sa mga protokol, sila ngayon ay naka-isolate, at patuloy ang isinasagawang contact tracing. Ito ay mahalagang usapin sa UP Diliman, at nais kong tiyakin sa komunidad na ipinatutupad ang mas mahigpit na mga hakbang upang pigilin ang pagkalat ng impeksyon at siguruhing ligtas ang mga pasilidad na ito. Kabilang sa mga isinasagawang hakbang sa kasalukuyan ay ang disinfection, pagrerebyu ng mga protokol pangkaligtasan, at pagsusuri sa mga kawani. Nitong mga nakaraang buwan, ang kampus ay naglatag ng mga patnubay, mekanismo, at mga komite upang palawigin ang paghahanda natin sa pandemya. Isinara rin natin ang kampus sa publiko at tanging mahahalagang kawani (essential staff) lamang ang pinayagang magtrabaho sa mga opisina. Hanggang noong nakaraang linggo, inakala naming nauuna tayo ng ilang hakbang sa banta ng COVID-19. Ngunit, ilan sa ating mga sosyal at kultural na pag-uugali at pang-araw-araw na kagawian ay naging daan upang mapabayaan ang mga protokol pangpandemya, dahilan upang maging mahina tayo laban sa banta ng virus. Ang kasalukuyang pagkalat nito sa Diliman ay tanda na huwag nating ibaba ang ating depensa. Kaugnay nito, ang mga tanggapan sa UP Diliman ay nananatiling ligtas. Ipagpapatuloy natin ang work from home (o pagtatrabaho mula sa tahanan) at papasok lamang sa trabaho kung kinakailangan. Ipagpatuloy natin ang pagsusuot ng face masks, gawin ang physical distancing (pisikal na pagdidistansya), at sundin ang wastong paghuhugas ng mga kamay. Sa puntong ito, binibigyang-diin ko na ang mga nasabing gawaing pampublikong kalusugan ay napatunayang epektibo sa pagprotekta sa atin. Pinapaalalahanan ko rin ang lahat tungkol sa pagbabahagi ng anumang impormasyon mula sa mga hindi opisyal na social media platform na maaaring hindi totoo o maging sanhi ng takot sa loob ng komunidad. Hinihikayat ko ang komunidad na tingnan ang website ng unibersidad at iba pang mga opisyal na platform ng UP Diliman para sa anumang balita o pabatid. Ang mga impormasyon sa panahon ng mga krisis ay dapat transparent o batid ng lahat, ngunit kinakailangang isinasagawa nang may pananagutan. Asahan ninyong ibabalita namin sa komunidad ang anumang pangyayari sa kampus na may kaugnayan sa pandemya. At panghuli, ginigiit kong huwag tayong maging kampante. Manatili tayong alerto at ligtas.

Sa pagtatapos ng Linggo ng Parangal sa Hunyo 25, 6 n.g., idaraos ang Gawad Tsanselor 2021. Dito bibigyang-parangal ng Unibersidad ang mga guro, Research, Extension and Professional Staff (REPS), kawani, mag-aaral, programang pang-ekstensiyon at lingkod komunidad para sa kanilang mga natatanging pagpapamalas ng husay at dangal, at maalab na paglilingkod sa pamantasan at sa bayan.

Ang mga nagwagi ng Gawad Tsanselor ay binubuo ng limang miyembro ng fakulti, tatlong REPS, dalawang administratibong kawani, apat na mag-aaral, isang programang pang-ekstensiyon at isang organisasyon para sa lingkod komunidad.

Bilang akademikong institusyon at komunidad, ang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (UP) Diliman ay maihahalintulad sa isang moog na paulit-ulit mang sinubok ng panahon ay nananatiling matatag na nakatindig. Bago pa man bumangon ang mga gusali ng kampus, ang kapaligiran ng Diliman ay naging himpilan at kanlungan ng mga kasapi ng himagsikan. Sa panahon ng batas militar ay kaisa pa rin ang UP Diliman sa pagtindig laban sa mapanikil na rehimeng nagtangkang yurakan ang kalayaan at karapatan ng lahat. Ang 493-hektaryang kampus ay naging linangan din ng dangal at husay, lunsaran ng mga ideya at adbokasiya, at mayamang balon ng mga pananaliksik at likhang-sining. Hanggang sa kasalukuyan, habang patuloy na sinusubok ng pandemya ang buong daigdig, hindi napatitinag ang UP Diliman. Kaakibat ito sa pagtuklas ng lunas, bolunterismo, pagpapakalap ng tamang impormasyon, at pagiging mapanuri at mapagmatyag laban sa naghahangad na makinabang sa hamong ito. Matatag na haligi at makabayang sandigan ang UP Diliman sa kabila ng kaliwa’t kanang akusasyon ng terorismo at sa gitna ng kawalang-pakundangan at korupsiyon. Kaya naman sa taong ito, bibigyang-pagkilala ang mga kasapi ng UP Diliman na gaya ng isang moog ay nagpapatuloy sa maalab at walang-kapagurang paglilingkod at pagmamalasakit sa sambayanan.

https://upd.edu.ph/novel-coronavirus-disease-covid-19-advice-for-the-up-community/ | Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the UP Community - University of the Philippines Diliman | Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the UP Community Diliman Information Office February 14, 2020 | Announcements Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Advice for the UP Community Written by UP Media and Public Relations Office On December 31, 2019, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus or novel coronavirus disease, previously called 2019-nCoV, was first reported from Wuhan, China, and has since spread across the globe. Coronaviruses belong to a large family of viruses found in both animals and humans. Some of these viruses cause illnesses that include both the common cold and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). With over 20,000 cases reported across 24 countries, including the Philippines, it is important to know what we must do to prevent an infection. For us in the UP community, the University has a set of protocols if we or someone we know contract what the World Health Organization has named the COVID-19 acute respiratory disease. Positive for exposure If you have traveled to China, Macau, Hong Kong or other areas with confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection, or if you have had close contact (within one meter) with a confirmed case of COVID-19 infection, you should stay at home and monitor yourself for symptoms such as fever, cough and shortness of breath, for 14 days from the date of arrival or exposure. While current data show that people who have symptoms contribute most to the spread of the disease, it may also be possible that people infected with COVID-19 may be infectious before they even show any symptoms. If you have come into close contact with a confirmed case, or you have been exposed to potential infection during your travels, please seek consultation with the University Health Service on campus, or at the nearest health facility, and undergo a health assessment before resuming your daily routine. At this point, you will be considered a Person Under Monitoring (PUM), and you will be advised to go on self-quarantine for 14 days. Here are some home quarantine instructions for PUMs: Stay at home except when getting medical care. Separate yourself from the other people in your home. Avoid sharing household items. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water and sanitize with alcohol. Cover your cough and sneezes with tissue. Wear a face mask with the colored side facing outward. Monitor your symptoms. Call ahead before visiting your doctor. Positive for symptoms If you have been exposed to COVID-19 through your travels or through close contact with a confirmed case, and you are showing respiratory symptoms, here is what you should do: Seek consultation with your University Health Service on campus or go to the nearest health facility. Once there, you will be asked to fill out a form that will include questions about your travel history and/or if you have come into contact with a confirmed case. Make sure you wear your face mask properly and call ahead. You will be brought to a holding area where the physician on duty will more closely investigate the timing of your symptoms. At this point, you will be designated as Patient Under Investigation (PUI). The physician will inform the City Epidemiology Surveillance Unit (CESU) or the Municipal Epidemiology Surveillance Unit (MESU), and will continue to coordinate with the CESU/MESU in monitoring your condition, which will include admitting you to specialized hospitals with the capacity to treat the disease. Preventive measures When it comes to good health, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. For the members of the UP community who have not recently traveled to China, Macau, Hong Kong or come into close contact with a confirmed case, follow these infectious respiratory disease-prevention rules from the Department of Health and World Health Organization: OBSERVE PROPER HAND HYGIENE. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds (or two rounds of “Happy Birthday”), and, if available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. REMEMBER THAT YOUR FACE IS SACRED. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Your hands may have touched contaminated surfaces, and you can transfer germs from the surface to yourself. RESPECT PERSONAL SPACE. Avoid crowded places and maintain at least a one-meter or three-foot distance between yourself and other people, particularly those who are coughing, sneezing and have a fever. PRACTICE GOOD COUGH ETIQUETTE. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and properly and immediately dispose of the tissue. Wash your hands properly afterward. (Refer to Item No. 1.) You may be asked to wear a face mask to protect others. WEAR THE FACE MASK PROPERLY. Wear the face mask with the colored side facing outward, fully covering the nose, mouth, and chin. Never touch the mask with your hands. Remove the mask by holding only the strings. Properly dispose of the mask. Wear a face mask only when necessary, such as if you are immunocompromised or have a cough and cold. AVOID EATING RAW OR IMPROPERLY COOKED ANIMAL PRODUCTS, as COVID-19 is also animal-transmitted. WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER CONTACT WITH PETS. Although there is no evidence yet that pets can be infected with COVID-19, this will help prevent the spread of other germs such as E. coli and Salmonella. Also, wash your hands with soap and water after visiting an animal market or wet market, and avoid unprotected contact with wild or farm animals. WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER HANDLING THINGS SUCH AS DOOR KNOBS AND TABLE TOPS. Although coronaviruses do not survive long on objects such as letters and packages, they have been detected on places like door knobs, table tops or other surfaces. KEEP YOUR GADGETS AND PERSONAL ITEMS CLEAN. Disinfect your mobile phones, tablets, laptops, bags, eyeglasses, etc. regularly. GET YOUR INFORMATION ONLY FROM THE PROPER AUTHORITIES to prevent the spread of fake news and disinformation. Proper health authorities include your University Health Service on campus, the Department of Health and its city and regional offices, and the WHO. BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM by eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep and exercise, and drinking plenty of water. A strong immune system will be better able to fight off COVID-19, as well as other diseases. Know who to ask To prevent the spread of misinformation and undue alarm, it is important that we get our information only from the proper authorities. For questions and concerns, please contact the Public Health Unit of the University Health Service on campus or in the health facility near you.

Nemenzo ukol sa COVID-19, 9 Marso 2020 - University of the Philippines Diliman | Tugon ni Tsanselor Fidel R. Nemenzo ukol sa COVID-19, 9 Marso 2020 Diliman Information Office March 09, 2020 | Uncategorized Home Basic Info Bulletin Advisories Academic Contingencies Hotlines Mga Minamahal na Kasapi ng Komunidad ng UP Diliman, Idineklara ng pambansang pamahalaan ang suspensiyon ng mga klase mula Marso 10 hanggang 14. Tinatanggap natin ang anunsiyong ito. Isinuspinde rin natin ang trabaho bilang tugon sa social distancing na inirerekomenda ng DOH subalit lahat ng tanggapan ay kinakailangang magtalaga ng ilang empleyado upang mapanatili ang operasyon ng opisina at matiyak na naipagpapatuloy ang mahahalagang serbisyo sa Unibersidad. Mula nang maisaere noong Enero 2020 ang balita tungkol sa corona virus disease (COVID-19), regular nating minamatyagan ang sitwasyon sa ating kampus. Naiulat na isang taga-UP na may mataas na lagnat ang sinuri kahapon sa holding area ng University Health Service (UHS) at dinala sa isa pang ospital upang lalo pang masuri. Tinitiyak naming sa pakikisalamuha sa naturang PUI (person under investigation), lahat ng opisyal na panuntunan ay mahigpit na sinunod, ang pasyente ay inihiwalay sa iba pang pasyente ng UHS, at ang holding area ay dagliang nilinis gamit ang disinfectant. Patuloy tayong magmamatyag. Bumuo ang UP Diliman ng COVID-19 Task Force na nakatalagang magpatupad ng mga kinakailangang pagtugon at iba pang pamamaraan upang masugpo ang bantang ito sa ating pamayanan. Samantala, mamamahagi kami ngayon sa UP Diliman ng mga mahahalaga at bagong polisiya at pamantayan hinggil sa biyahe, okasyon, at mga akademikong programa sa panahon ng COVID-19. Makatutulong ang mga ito sa ating mga pagpapasya upang maprotektahan ang kalusugan ng ating komunidad at ng higit na malawak na pamayanang ating kinabibilangan. Dahil mismo sa kawalang-katiyakan ng saklaw at bilis ng paglaganap ng virus, gagawin natin ang lahat ng kaukulang paghahanda upang mapanatili ang kalusugan at kagalingan ng ating komunidad, habang tinitiyak na hindi gaanong magambala ang ating mga klase at akademikong iskedyul. Hinihiling namin sa lahat – kaguruan, mananaliksik, REPS, kawani, estudyante, at mamamayan – na paglaanan ng panahon upang basahin at talimahin ang mga bagong polisiya at pamantayan. Kinonsulta namin ang mga eksperto mula sa UHS at UP-PGH nang aming isinusulat ang mga panuntunan at binabalangkas ang mga planong pagtugon. Sa kasalukuyang impormasyong alam natin, ito ay kumakatawan sa pinakamainam naming pagpapasya. Sa madaling-sabi: 1) Ipagbabawal muna ang opisyal na biyahe, lokal man o internasyonal. Lahat ng nagbabalak na magsagawa ng personal na biyahe ay hinihimok na pag-isipan itong mabuti; kung itutuloy nila ito, kinakailangan nilang iulat ang kanilang planong biyahe sa kanilang tagapangulo. Lahat ng kasapi ng komunidad na magbabalik mula sa labas ng bansa ay kinakailangang mag-self-quarantine sa loob ng 14 na araw. 2) Lahat ng malalaking okasyon sa kampus ay kinakansela, hanggang maglabas ng karagdagang pabatid. 3) Tayo ay papunta sa paggamit ng online platform bilang kahalili ng nakasanayang paraan ng pagkaklase. Ang Opisina ng Bise-Tsanselor para sa mga Gawaing Akademiko, sa pakikipagtulungan ng mga Dekano, ay magpapadala ng mga panuntunan sa kaguruan at mga estudyante sa lalong madaling panahon. 4) Ipinaaalala namin sa lahat na ang pinakamainam na paraan upang masupil ang paglaganap ng COVID-19 ay social distancing, proper hygiene, at behavioral etiquette. Asahan ninyo sa araw na ito ang mga detalye ng nasabing panuntunan. Ang panahong ito ay di-pangkaraniwan. Subalit naniniwala kami sa katatagan ng ating pamayanan at sa kakayanang makalampas sa krisis na ito nang may malasakit at pagkakaisa. Lagi’t lagi, saksi tayo na ang pinakamabisang tugon sa emergency sa pampublikong kalusugan ay ang ating kakayanan bilang isang komunidad na huwag pabayaan ang isa’t isa. Panghuli, bilang isang unibersidad, ang ating pinakamalaking hamon sa ngayon ay kung paano gagamitin ang ating kaalaman at pinagkukunan upang makahubog ng etikal, makatarungan, at mabisang pagtugong institusyonal sa naturang epidemya.

https://upd.edu.ph/message-from-chancellor-fidel-r-nemenzo-9-march-2020/ | Message from Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo, 9 March 2020 - University of the Philippines Diliman | Message from Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo, 9 March 2020 Diliman Information Office March 09, 2020 | UPDate Online > Notices Home Basic Info Bulletin Advisories Academic Contingencies Hotlines Dear Members of the UP Diliman Community, The national government has declared the suspension of classes from March 10 to 14. We welcome this announcement. We have also suspended work as part of social distancing as recommended by DOH but all offices are maintaining a skeleton force to ensure that essential services are continued. Since news of the corona virus disease (COVID 19) aired in January 2020, we have been regularly monitoring the situation in our campus. It has been reported that a UP constituent nursing a high fever was screened yesterday at the University Health Service (UHS) holding area and has since been sent to another hospital for testing. We assure you that in handling the PUI (person under investigation), all protocols were strictly followed, the patient was completely isolated from the rest of the UHS patients, and that the holding area was immediately disinfected. We will not let our guard down. UP Diliman has created its COVID-19 Task Force that is in charge of putting into place and implementing the necessary response protocols and institutional mechanisms to combat this threat to our community. In the meantime, I will now share important new policies and guidelines for UP Diliman on travel, events and academic programs in the time of COVID-19. These will help with the choices we will make to protect our community’s health and that of the greater community we belong to. Precisely because of the uncertainties about the local extent and pace of the spread of the virus, we shall take all precautionary measures to protect the collective health and well-being of our community, while ensuring that disruptions to our classes and academic schedules are kept to a minimum. I ask that everyone— faculty, researchers, REPS, staff, students and residents—take time to read and take heed of the new policies and guidelines. We consulted experts from the University Health Service and the UP-PGH when we crafted the rules and developed contingency plans. Given the information we have at the moment, these represent our best judgment. In a nutshell: 1) Official travel, whether local or international, will be prohibited indefinitely. Those who intend to go on personal travel are strongly urged to reconsider their plans; if they proceed, they should report their travel plans to their unit head. All members of the community returning from travel overseas will be required to self-quarantine for fourteen days. 2) All big events on campus will be called off, until further notice. 3) We are moving towards online platforms in place of conventional classroom delivery. The Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs, in coordination with the Deans, will soon be communicating the instructions to all faculty and students. 4) We remind the community that the most effective way of containing the spread of COVID-19 is social distancing, proper hygiene and behavioral etiquette. Please expect the details of these guidelines later today. These are not normal times. But I believe in our community’s resilience and ability to live through this crisis with compassion and solidarity. Time and again, we have seen that the most effective response to public health emergencies is our ability as a community to look out for each other. Finally, as a university, our biggest challenge now is how to use our knowledge and resources in shaping ethical, fair and effective institutional responses to the epidemic. I hope to communicate with all of you more about this as the situation unfolds. Should you have further questions or would like to share relevant information, please contact the COVID-19 Task Force at uhs.updiliman@up.edu.ph (with “COVID-19” as subject), 0947-427-9281 (mobile) or 8981-8500 local 2709. Thank you for your commitment to the well-being of UP Diliman. Fidel R.

https://upd.edu.ph/update-on-covid-19-situation-in-upd-as-of-march-12-2020/ | Chancellor Nemenzo’s Update on COVID-19 Situation in UPD, 12 March 2020 - University of the Philippines Diliman | Chancellor Nemenzo’s Update on COVID-19 Situation in UPD, 12 March 2020 Diliman Information Office March 12, 2020 | UPDate Online > Campus Home Basic Info Bulletin Advisories Academic Contingencies Hotlines 12 March 2020 Dear Members of the UP Diliman Community, Yesterday, the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Since my statement two days ago, the Department of Health has reported a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in different parts of Metro Manila. Sadly, UP Diliman has not been spared by the growing epidemic. As of today, three members of our community have been identified as PUIs and are confined in nearby hospitals. Rest assured that we will inform you of the test results as soon as these are available. We have to remain calm, alert and vigilant as the epidemic moves fast through our communities. UP Diliman must do its part in containing the spread of the epidemic. In this regard, we will continue to suspend official travel and public events until further notice. Beginning Monday, March 16, all classes will shift to online mode. These are drastic, but necessary measures that universities in other countries, such as Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, the US and Italy, have also taken to protect the health of their communities. These containment measures, however, need not paralyze us as an institution. Thus, we have asked our faculty to adjust their syllabi and requirements, and shift to online teaching. The UP Open University will be holding a webinar on Google Classroom tomorrow. There are no more available slots, but the webinar video will be streamed and be made available for download from the UPOU website. Students are also encouraged to explore alternative modes of learning with their instructors. Faculty are reminded to refer to the online instruction guidelines issued by the OVCAA and the OVPAA. To support research, access to our online library services will continue. Student support services will likewise carry on. Our University Food Service are providing meals to students who are staying in the dorms and our offices will remain operational with a minimal workforce. Work and classes in UP Diliman should continue, despite COVID-19. We just have to shift to a different mode- one that is resilient and agile. Heads of units are requested to work out the details of these arrangements at the level of their offices and disciplines. There is another important reason for the measures we have taken, apart from ensuring our collective health. In delaying the spread of disease, this containment period will allow UP Diliman to prepare its units to better respond to COVID-19. It is a time for assessing and building our capacities, and planning for long-term preparedness. Here, we are ensuring that our health service and workforce and other services are equipped and supported to be able to effectively and sustainably do their work. More critically, we want to prepare our communities – faculty, students, REPS, staff, barangay residents– to respond collectively, rather than individually, to the crisis. We hope to set up mechanisms that will engage everyone in shaping community-based and community-led responses. We have to involve the barangays within and around UP Diliman, our contractual workers, Ikot jeepney drivers, ambulant vendors, and informal settlers, who are more vulnerable than many of us. These include the women in our communities who oftentimes serve in the frontlines providing care and support to their families, and our healthcare systems. As I emphasized last time, the most effective response to public health emergencies is our ability as a community to come together. And I now wish to add: in any public health crisis, the burden of risk falls more heavily on the vulnerable and the marginalized. The university must also respond to COVID-19 with a view to addressing the inequities that have been deepened by the pandemic. Finally, amidst news of a possible lockdown, we hope that restrictions will not unduly undermine academic freedom, individual liberties and community life. Mobilizing people’s cooperation and participation through public information and health education is still key in a public health emergency. Our campus will continue to be open to joggers, bikers and those who wish to relax and destress during these most stressful times, for as long as they practice social distancing and other precautionary measures. I will continue updating you as we get more information about the developments on the local epidemic. I thank everyone for your cooperation and your commitment to our work in spite of the challenging situation. Please keep safe and healthy. Fidel R.

Nemenzo, 17 March 2020 - University of the Philippines Diliman | Message from Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo, 17 March 2020 Diliman Information Office March 17, 2020 | UPDate Online > Notices Home Basic Info Bulletin Advisories Academic Contingencies Hotlines Dear Members of the UP Diliman Community, Today, the national government will start implementing more stringent measures in an effort to control the spread of the epidemic. These are trying times for our country, and I would like to reach out to our community – our faculty, students, REPS, staff, and campus residents. Let us continue to look out for each other. Let us use this period to help each other find our bearings. The national response to COVID-19 has cost to all of us, but for some, the burden will be and has already been greater. On UP Diliman’s part, to help minimize the impact of continuing containment measures, we announced last night the suspension of classes, including the online modes of learning, until 14 April. We recognize that during this emergency our faculty and students have concerns other than their classes. Caring for our families and for ourselves comes first. We heeded the appeal of faculty and students who rightly pointed out that unequal access to personal computers and the internet exists among our community. We support our students’ call that no one should be left behind in their education. The shift to online classes has also not been smooth for our faculty, who have had to learn new skills and revise their syllabi overnight. We hope to provide more support to our faculty in order to equip them for online teaching and blended learning. For those who are able, let us use this period of home and community quarantine to learn and familiarize ourselves with the online platforms made available by UP. These too are technologies we can transform as a means to support our community – to check on each other, to exchange stories, to explore collective action. In addition, work on campus is also suspended, except for frontline and vital offices. These include our health services and community police force, among other units. For the rest of our staff, the work-at-home arrangement will remain. To ease worries about sustaining our families in the next weeks, salaries of regular and non-UP contractual personnel for March will be released early. We are also making arrangements for the early release of salaries for the month of April. As for the communities around UP Diliman, we hope to find ways to continue working with the barangays within the context of ongoing restrictions. Rest assured that we will do our best to keep UP’s pledge to serve the marginalized. Lastly, this pandemic is something that we are experiencing for the first time. But UP Diliman has seen tough times in the past, and emerged resilient. Crises have a way of bringing people together. Our solidarity will help us get through this period, and beyond. Muli, maraming salamat sa lahat. Fidel R.

https://upd.edu.ph/message-from-chancellor-fidel-r-nemenzo-29-april-2020/ | Message from Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo 29 April 2020 - University of the Philippines Diliman | Message from Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo 29 April 2020 Diliman Information Office April 29, 2020 | UPDate Online > Notices Dear Members of the UP Diliman Community, The novel coronavirus has given me an unusual welcome at the start of my term as Chancellor. Within a week, I had to form the UPD COVID-19 Task Force, composed of the Chancellor, Vice Chancellors, University Health Service personnel, students, staff and faculty from the different disciplines to plan and carry out our university’s community response to the pandemic. The Task Force has been monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Diliman, coordinating with the LGU (local government unit) and barangay health officials, attending to the needs of residents, students and other personnel stranded in the campus, and issuing regular information bulletins through the UP Diliman Information Office. I would like to report that we have transformed many of our buildings into COVID-19 facilities. Among these are the NISMED Hostel, which provides accommodation for Quezon City health frontliners; the Asian Institute of Tourism building, which serves as a testing center for Quezon City District 6 residents; and the Palma Hall, which has now been equipped as our University Health Service quarantine facility for the UP community. We hope that we will not have to use more than a few rooms of Palma Hall, but we need to be ready in case the situation escalates in the UP Diliman campus, which is surrounded by some of the city’s COVID-19 hotspots. These are just a few of the several COVID-19 response initiatives of UP Diliman. I will write more about these initiatives in a separate letter. We have entered the seventh week of the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine. It has also been this long since we suspended online classes and work on campus. During this period, the University, at both the Diliman and System levels, embarked on a process to determine how the semester would proceed given the uncertain situation. Student, faculty and staff surveys were conducted. Memos have been issued to explain UP’s emerging guidelines and last week, the Office of the President released the implementing guidelines of the Board of Regents (BOR)-approved UP System Policy on the Second Semester AY 2019-2020 in the time of COVID-19. I understand the anxiety and confusion among our students and faculty that this whole protracted process has created. This is the last thing that we want to happen at a time when everyone is already under great stress. All I can say is that policymaking in the time of a pandemic is a novel process for the university. While we have tried to consider perspectives, it is far from perfect. Still, we in the administration are learning from this process and will strive to do better. I wish to address an issue that developed in the debates on how we should continue or close the semester. In some of the statements and exchanges in social media, I noticed the emergence of a split between compassion and academic excellence. This is a false dichotomy and one that we should not fall for. Compassion and academic excellence are twin values that our community upholds. The challenge now is how to uphold both values despite the constraints of our context. Our duty as a university is to provide our students with quality education. However, the discharge of this duty during the pandemic must be tempered with compassion, solidarity, and understanding, especially because, in this situation, our traditional tools and platforms for education do not work. The grading scale we used before the pandemic cannot properly measure the performance of students in a time of upheaval and disruption. Grades lose their meaning during an existential crisis. This is why the UP Diliman Executive Committee has requested the BOR to allow faculty to give a grade of “P” to students this semester. We have to begin developing strong bridging programs to help transition our students into the coming school terms, even as we await how the pandemic situation unfolds. The crisis has compelled us to explore non-traditional modes and platforms of teaching and learning while recognizing the diverse curricular requirements of our students, the uneven access of faculty and students to technology, and the differences in personal circumstances within which people find themselves. In short, a strict single approach to concluding the academic year may not be possible. Having said this, the BOR has set the University policy regarding the closure of the current semester and the academic year. This is our policy context. I am enjoining our faculty in the various departments and colleges to re-imagine our ways of teaching and grading, exploring all the possible spaces provided by the policy that would enable you to carry out the most compassionate and feasible solution in consideration of the needs and welfare of our students in these precarious times. Let us demonstrate that both compassion and academic excellence are mutually reinforcing values that will help us survive this crisis and face the challenges of the post-COVID-19 world with honor, integrity and solidarity.

They include health, laboratory and security personnel who were assigned at the Kanlungang Palma and the UP Health Service. Following protocols, they are now isolated, and active contact tracing is ongoing. This is a pressing issue for UP Diliman, and I would like to assure the community that we are implementing stricter infection control measures to contain the outbreak and stabilize these facilities. As part of these control measures, disinfection, review of safety protocols, and testing of staff are now being undertaken. In the past months, the university has put in place guidelines, mechanisms, and committees to increase our pandemic preparedness. We also kept the campus closed to the public and maintained only essential personnel. Until last week, we thought that we were steps ahead of the COVID-19 threat. But some of our social and cultural behavior and everyday practices have led to lapses in pandemic protocols, making us vulnerable to the threat posed by the virus. This latest spread in Diliman serves as a reminder to everyone that we cannot let our guard down. Having said this, UP Diliman’s workplaces generally remain safe. We carry on working from home and reporting for work only when necessary. Let us continue to wear our face masks, practice physical distancing, and observe hand hygiene. At this point, I cannot emphasize enough that these are still the public health practices that have proved to be effective in protecting us. I also caution everyone about sharing any information from unofficial social media platforms that may be false or cause panic within the community. I encourage the community to check the university website and other official UP Diliman platforms for any update or advisory. Information during crises must be transparent, but must also be handled responsibly. We commit to keeping the community informed of pandemic-related developments on campus. Lastly, I say this with urgency: we cannot allow complacency to set in. Let us stay alert and safe. Fidel R.

Nemenzo sa Komunidad ng UPD - University of the Philippines Diliman | Mensahe ni Tsanselor Fidel R. Nemenzo sa Komunidad ng UPD Diliman Information Office August 07, 2020 | UPDate Online > Notices 6 Agosto 2020 Minamahal na mga Kasapi ng Komunidad ng UP Diliman, Ang ating health care workers (HCWs) ay nagsalita na. Sa pagpasok natin sa mas mapanganib na yugto ng pandemya, nag-apela sila para sa isang “time-out” – upang mabigyan ang ating sistema ng pangangalaga sa kalusugan (health care system) ng pahinga at makabawi ng lakas ang ating HCWs. Ang mahalagang gawin agad habang may time-out ay suriin at muling ayusin ang pambansa at lokal na mga pagtugon sa pandemya. Habang pinagninilayan kung ano ang nangyayari sa pambansang lebel, nakita rin ang pagtaas ng kaso ng COVID-19 ng UP Diliman. Noong Agosto 6, 2020, naibalita ang kabuuang 55 aktibong kaso sa ating mga constituent at sa ating komunidad. Kabilang sa mga kasong ito ay fakulti, kawani, mag-aaral at mga residente ng barangay, na mahigpit na minomonitor ng UP Health Service-Public Health Unit (UPHS-PHU) at ng UPD COVID-19 Task Force. Mula Marso 16 hanggang Agosto 6, ang pinagsama-samang bilang ng kaso ng COVID-19 ng UPD ay nasa 139. Kasama sa bilang na ito ang mga nakatira sa loob at labas ng kampus. Sa pinagsama-samang total nito, 77 na ang mga gumaling, habang pito (7) ang naiulat na namatay mula noong Marso. Nakababahala ang direksyong ito. Habang nilalatag namin ang mga hakbang upang mapigilan ang pagkalat ng virus sa mga tanggapan at sa komunidad, ang mga hamon ay nagpapatuloy. Sinuri namin ang mga datos mula sa aming contact tracing at ipinakita nito ang bagong palatandaan ng transmisyon: ang kumpol ng mga kaso sa mga bahay. Ibig sabihin nito, kapag isang miyembro ng tahanan ang magkasakit, madali nang mahahawaan ang lahat ng mga nasa bahay. Bilang tugon sa sitwasyong ito at sa apela ng ating HCWs, ang UPD COVID-19 Task Force ay gagamitin ang dalawang linggong ito ng modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) upang suriin, muling ayusin at palakasin ang aming mga stratehiya sa pagtugon sa pandemya. Bahagi ng pagsasaayos na ito, ang pasilidad pang-isolation (isolation facility) na Silungang Molave ay inaasahang bubuksan sa kalagitnaan ng Agosto. Ang targeted testing (naka-target na susuriin) ng mga kawani ay isasagawa sa mga darating na linggo. Ang ating kapasidad para sa contact tracing ay pahuhusayin at palalakasin. Upang mabuo ang katatagan at pagkakaisa ng komunidad, ginagawa namin ang mga hakbang upang palakasin ang ating ugnayang pangkomunidad. Pinapaigting namin ang aming pampublikong impormasyon at pinapakilos ang mas maraming lokal na boluntaryo. Upang ayusin ang aming pagkolekta ng mga datos at pagsusuri, plano naming bumuo ng pampublikong datos pangkalusugan/sistema ng impormasyon (public health data/information system) sa tulong ng ating mga siyentista at eksperto sa IT. Ang UP Health Service, ang UP Diliman COVID-19 Task Force at ang ating barangay health workers ay patuloy na kumikilos upang mapanatiling ligtas ang ating komunidad. Ngunit, kailangan namin ang tulong at kooperasyon ng lahat. Ang bawat isa sa atin ay maaaring makatulong. Inuulit namin: Manatili sa bahay maliban na lang kung may mahalagang lakad. Iwasan ang matataong lugar. Palaging magsuot ng face mask at face shield nang maayos. Gawin ang physical distancing maski sa loob ng tahanan. Panatilihin ang distansya nang hindi bababa sa isang metro mula sa katabi. Maghugas ng mga kamay nang madalas at nang hindi bababa sa 20 segundo. Ang unang hanay ng depensa ay ang ating mga sarili.

Nemenzo’s Message to the UPD Community Diliman Information Office August 06, 2020 | UPDate Online > Notices 6 August 2020 Dear UP Diliman Community Members, Our health care workers (HCWs) have spoken. As we enter an even more dangerous phase of the pandemic, they have appealed for a “time-out” — to give our health care system a breather and allow our HCWs to regain their strength. An urgent task during this time-out is to assess and recalibrate national and local responses to the pandemic. Reflecting what is happening at the national level, UP Diliman (UPD) has also seen an increase in COVID-19 cases. As of August 6, 2020, a total of 55 active cases has been reported among our constituents and in our community. These cases include faculty, staff, students, and barangay residents, who are closely monitored by the UP Health Service – Public Health Unit (UPHS-PHU) and the UPD COVID-19 Task Force. This brings to 139 the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases of UPD covering the period March 16 to August 6. This number includes those living on campus and outside the campus. Of this cumulative total, 77 have already recovered, while seven (7) deaths have been reported since March. This is a worrying trend. While we have put in place measures to prevent the spread of the virus in the workplace and in the community, the challenges continue. We have analyzed data from our contact tracing and they revealed a new pattern of transmission: clustering of cases within households. This means that once a household member gets sick, it is easy for the rest of the household to get infected. In response to this situation and the appeal of our HCWs, the UPD COVID-19 Task Force will use this two-week modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) to review, recalibrate and intensify our strategic response to the pandemic. As part of this recalibration, the Silungang Molave isolation facility is expected to open by mid-August. Targeted testing of employees will also be conducted in the coming weeks. Our capacity for contact tracing will be enhanced and reinforced. To build community resilience and solidarity, we are taking steps to strengthen our community engagement. We are intensifying our public information campaign and mobilizing more local volunteers. To systematize our data collection and analysis, we plan to build a public health data/information system with the help of our scientists and IT experts. The UP Health Service, the UP Diliman COVID-19 Task Force and our barangay health workers are working to keep our community safe. But, we need everyone’s help and cooperation. Each one of us can help. We reiterate: Stay at home unless essential travel is needed. Avoid crowded places. Wear face masks and face shields properly and consistently. Practice physical distancing even at home. Keep a distance of at least one meter from the next person. Wash hands frequently and for at least 20 seconds. The first line of defense is our self.

Sa ngayon, ang SiM ay may 39 na kama ̶ 20 kama ang nakatalaga para sa mga may kaso ng COVID-19 na hindi malala at 19 na kama para sa mga na-expose at naghihintay ng resulta ng kanilang pagsusuri. Padadamihin natin ang bilang ng mga kama kung kinakailangan. Uunahing maserbisyuhan ang mga nasasakupan ng UP at ang mga residente ng ating Barangay. Ang pagbubukas ng SiM ay bahagi ng ating isinaayos na estratehikong tugon sa pandemya. Sa mga nakaraang linggo, nakita natin ang paglaki ng bilang ng mga kaso sa Barangay UP Campus, ngunit walang mapagdalhan na lugar sa mga pasyente para sila ay maalagaan at magpagaling. Habang ang ating UP Health Service-Public Health Unit (UPHS-PHU) ay doble-kayod sa pagmo-monitor ng mga kaso, sila ay may mapanghamon na gawain na makahanap ng mga lugar pang-isolate para sa mga maysakit sa ating komunidad. Habang ang mga pasilidad sa ating lungsod ay puno na, marami sa mga maysakit ang kinailangang manatili sa tahanan at may panganib na makahawa sa kanilang mga pamilya. Ang Silungang Molave ay tugon sa agarang pangangailangan para sa isang pasilidad na nakabase sa komunidad kung saan ang ating mga kasapi ay mabibigyan ng maayos na pangangalaga. Sa SiM, ang mga hindi makakapag-self-isolate sa tahanan ay magkakaroon ng lugar kung saan sila makakapagpagaling. Ito rin ay lugar kung saan ang mga maysakit ay makakapagpahinga nang hindi nag-aalala na maaari nilang mahawa ng virus ang mga mahal nila sa buhay. Bilang estratehiyang pampublikong pangkalusugan, magagawa na nating ma-isolate ang maysakit upang mapigilan ang lalong pagkalat ng virus. Alam kong nagdulot ng agam-agam sa ilan sa ating mga nasasakupan ang paggamit ng Molave Dorm bilang pasilidad pang-isolate. Dahil sa walang katiyakang sitwasyon, nauunawaan ko ito. Ngunit, kumonsulta kami sa mga epidemiologist at mga eksperto sa biosafety na nagbigay ng kasiguruhan sa amin na ang pagkakaroon ng pasilidad sa loob ng kampus ay hindi magdudulot ng panganib sa UP Diliman. Ipinapaalala namin sa komunidad na ang COVID-19 ay naipapasa sa pamamagitan ng mga patak ng likido at direktang paghawak. Hindi ito naglalakbay sa malalayong distansya sa pamamagitan ng hangin at hindi ito makakaabot sa ating mga tirahan sa ganitong paraan. Ang transmisyon na posibleng makuha sa hangin (airborne transmission) ay madalas na nangyayari sa mga saradong lugar o walang labasan ng hangin. Ang ating karanasan sa Kanlungang Palma, ang ating unang pasilidad pang-isolate na isinara noong Hulyo 11, 2020, ay nagbigay rin sa atin ng mga aral. Isinapuso namin ang mga iyon, habang ipinagpatuloy namin ang Silungang Molave. Bilang unang hakbang, bumuo kami ng espesyal na komite upang repasuhin ang mga operasyon ng Kanlungang Palma at ng UPHS. Ang komite, na kinabibilangan ng isang infectious disease expert mula sa Philippine General Hospital, ay nagrekomenda ng mga hakbang upang mapigilan ang paglaganap ng sakit sa hinaharap at masiguro ang kaligtasan ng ating mga health care worker. Ang nasabing komite ang mahigpit ding magmo-monitor ng mga operasyon ng SiM sa mga susunod na buwan. Bukod sa pagtatatag ng mga internal mechanism (mekanismong panloob), ang SiM ay sumailalim sa maayos na proseso ng akreditasyon ng Department of Health (DOH) at nasa ilalim ng teknikal na pangangasiwa ng Quezon City Health Department. Imo-monitor din ng DOH ang pasilidad. Bilang paghahanda sa pasilidad, ang ating UPHS ay nag-hire ng apat pang mga doktor at tatlong nars upang mapangalagaan ang ating mga pasyente sa pasilidad. Bilang karagdagan, ang pasilidad pang-isolate ay may kumpletong kawani: tagapamahala ng pasilidad, inspektor sa kalinisan, mga tagasilbi ng pagkain, at mga kawani na tagapanatili ng kaayusan at kalinisan, na magbibigay ng pangkalusugang pangangailangan ng mga pasyente habang sila ay patungo sa mabilis na paggaling. Nais kong pasalamatan ang ating UPHS at ang UP Diliman COVID-19 Task Force sa walang kapagurang pagtatrabaho nitong mga nakaraang linggo upang maihanda ang Silungang Molave para sa ating komunidad. Panghuli, bilang bahagi ng pambansang unibersidad, tinawag ang UP Diliman upang gampanan ang pangako nitong maglingkod sa kalakhang komunidad. Ang pangangalaga sa maysakit at mahihina ay bahagi ng responsibilidad na ito. Ang kahinaan ng isang kasapi ay kahinaan ng komunidad. Fidel R.

Ang mga residente ay kailangang may dalang ID o patunay na residente ng Brgy. UP Campus; kung walang dala, sila ay hindi papapasukin. Ang mga residente ay kailangang magdala ng kanilang sariling gamit sa ehersisyo (kung mayroon man) at hindi ito dapat ipahiram sa iba. Alinsunod sa IATF guidelines, ang mga sumusunod na alituntunin para sa mga pampublikong lugar ng UPD ay ipatutupad: a. Hanggang 200 katao lang sa bawat pagkakataon ang papayagang pumasok sa CS Oval. b. Ang mga residenteng 20 taong gulang pababa at 61 taong gulang pataas ay hindi papapasukin. Gayundin, ang mga buntis, may comorbidities (hal. uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, cardiac/renal problems) o immunodeficiency conditions tulad ng cancer, HIV-AIDS at systemic lupus erythematosus ay hindi papayagang makapasok. c. Ang mga residente ay dapat may dalang alkohol (70% Isopropyl o Ethyl) kapag papasok sa CS Oval; kapag wala, sila ay hindi papapasukin. d.

Kung may health emergency, huwag mataranta at humingi ng tulong sa UPD Police/SSB/mga naka-duty na guwardiya. Pinakamainam na manatili ang mga residente sa kanilang bahay kung wala namang gagawing de-stressing activity sa CS Oval. Ang mga residenteng hindi mabuti ang pakiramdam ay dapat manatili sa bahay.

Direktang kinausap ng Office of the Vice Chancellor for Planning and Development (OVCPD) ang mga trabahador at nadiskubreng hindi naman sila kinakapos sa pagkain, sa halip ay nabigyan na ng P4,000 na ayuda noong Marso 17 at P2,000 noong Abril 14 ng kanilang employer. Ininspeksiyon din ng OVCPD ang kanilang supply room na naglalaman ng tatlong sakong bigas (25 kilo ang bawat isa) at mga delata mula sa All UP Workers Union at iba pang organisasyon sa loob ng kampus. Ayon sa mga trabahador, nagulat na lang sila noong nag-viral ang ulat, dahil ang mga larawan ay kuha ng grupo ng mga tao na pumunta sa site upang mamahagi ng relief goods, ngunit hindi sila ininterbyu o tinanong tungkol sa kanilang sitwasyon.

KaPPP will be a temporary isolation unit to suspect and probable COVID-19 cases with mild symptoms and those who cannot be quarantined at home, while waiting for the results of their swab tests. Only one patient can be accommodated per room; thus, the facility can only admit 26 patients at most, a far cry from what was initially envisioned to be a 50-bed isolation unit. The facility will only admit patients between 18 and 60 years old, with no co-morbidities such as uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes or immunosuppressed conditions. Pregnant patients will not be admitted. KaPPP will not entertain walk-ins. Admission is from Monday to Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Referring barangays or hospitals must first call the UP Health Service (UPHS) ER at 8981-8500 local 111 for initial screening and instructions.

https://upd.edu.ph/up-diliman-releases-remote-learning-suspension-guidelines-for-storm-signals/ | UP Diliman releases remote learning suspension guidelines for storm signals - University of the Philippines Diliman | UP Diliman releases remote learning suspension guidelines for storm signals Diliman Information Office October 27, 2020 | UPDate Online > Notices (OCT. 27)—The Office of the Chancellor (OC) of the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) released today, Oct. 27, the UPD Suspension Guidelines for Storm Signals During Remote Learning. The guidelines for suspension came in light of the recent typhoons the country faced that disrupted online classes in the country. In his directive (OC Memorandum No. FRN-20-058), UPD Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo said the guidelines should be applied with consideration “for the students’ place of residence, or where they have chosen to participate in synchronous or asynchronous classes.” Synchronous classes are live online courses that are conducted in real-time , while asynchronous classes are online classes where instructors provide materials, lectures and tests that can be accessed at any time and students may be given a time frame to connect. According to the Guidelines, online synchronous classes during Storm Signal No. 1 are suspended due to internet connectivity issues caused by the typhoon. Online synchronous classes are also suspended during Storm Signal No.2 due to internet connectivity issues, and possible power and telecommunication service interruption. The faculty is requested to be lenient to students especially from affected areas and exercise flexibility in submitting requirements by postponing submission deadlines. Finally, during Storm Signal No. 3 and above, both synchronous and asynchronous classes are suspended due to internet connectivity issues, and possible power and telecommunication service interruption. The faculty is requested “to refrain from asking students to submit any class requirements.” For more details on the UPD Suspension Guidelines for Storm Signals During Remote Learning click here. MEMORANDUM BLG. FRN-20-058 Mga Alituntunin ng Suspensyon para sa mga Signal ng Bagyo sa panahon ng Remote Learning Ipinababatid ang mga sumusunod na alituntunin ng suspensyon para sa mga signal ng bagyo sa panahon ng remote learning. Ang mga alituntunin ay kinakailangang ipatupad na may pagsasaalang-alang sa lugar ng tirahan ng mga mag-aaral, o kung saan nila napiling lumahok sa mga synchronous o asynchronous na mga klase. Storm Signal Bilang 1: Ang online synchronous classes ay suspendido dahilan sa mga isyu sa koneksyon sa internet sanhi ng bagyo. Storm Signal Bilang 2: Ang online synchronous classes ay suspendido dahilan sa mga isyu sa koneksyon sa internet, at mga posibleng interupsyon sa kuryente at serbisyo sa telecommunication sanhi ng bagyo. Hinihiling ang mga fakulti na palawigin ang pagkamaunawain at kaluwagan (lalo na sa mga mag-aaral sa mga apektadong lugar) sa pamamagitan ng pagpapaliban ng mga takdang panahon (deadline) ng pagsusumite. Storm Signal Bilang 3 pataas: Ang parehong synchronous at asynchronous na mga klase ay suspendido dahilan sa mga isyu sa koneksyon sa internet, at mga posibleng interupsyon sa kuryente at serbisyo sa telecommunication sanhi ng bagyo. Ang mga fakulti ay hinihiling na iwasang humiling sa mga mag-aaral na magsumite ng mga rekisito/kahingian sa klase. Maraming salamat. FIDEL R. NEMENZO, D. Sc.
