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. Nurse station at second floor lobby with plastic barrier Triage area after AS steps prior to first floor lobby KaPPP will give preferential admission to patients from the UPD community. Priority clients are those connected with the University or residing on campus. However, those coming from nearby barangays may also be considered if they cannot be accommodated in other quarantine facilities within Quezon City. For referrals who have not undergone COVID-19 testing, KaPPP also set up a swabbing booth in coordination with the Philippine Genome Center who will perform the RT-PCR test on the samples collected. Swabbing booth 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.

https://upd.edu.ph/upd-continues-to-help/ | UPD continues to help - University of the Philippines Diliman | University of the Philippines Diliman HomeAbout Academics Research Students Admissions News Article UPD continues to help Diliman Information Office May 19, 2020 | Tatag UP > Article (MAY 19)—As some areas transitioned from enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) to modified ECQ or General Community Quarantine, UP Diliman (UPD) continues to share its expertise and help those who were greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, living up to its mandate as a public service university. Here is an update on the initiatives or projects of various UPD units, student organizations and an alumni group. Face shield production. As of Apr. 27, UPD College of Engineering’s “3D Printing Solutions for our Frontliners” has produced 2,375 face shield frames using 17 3D printers, assembled 1,854 complete face shields and distributed 1,654 of these to 31 hospitals in Metro Manila, Baguio, Pangasinan, Laguna, Batangas and Cavite. The project also designed, 3D-printed and distributed ear saver pieces to reduce the strain on a user’s ears when wearing the face shield. Prototype ventilator. The team behind “Prototype Adult Ventilator” conducted its first test on the prototype’s touch screen controls on Apr. 23. The control panel displays readings like air pressure, mixing tank pressure, inhalation time and breaths per minute, and a setup screen to control alarms and settings for the mixing tank, which is where oxygen, air and humidity are controlled. The team tested several methods for pressure relief but eventually settled on using a spring valve for its simplicity, reliability and ease of adjustment. The team is currently using a refurbished air compressor for the prototype but is also looking into using an oxygen tank. With the positive initial test results from the lone prototype, a more permanent assembly will be made. UV light for disinfection. The team behind “Disinfection of PPE [personal protective equipment] via UV Light” is currently testing two prototypes for efficiency of disinfection. Parallel tests will also be done at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). A third prototype changes the format of the chamber to fit six coveralls and hasten the time of exposure. ChlorGen. The chemical engineers behind “ChlorGen: On-Site Hypochlorite Disinfectant Generation Via Brine Water Electrolysis” successfully produced some sodium hypochlorite from brine water. The team is still in the prototyping stage and will do further experiments to optimize the extraction of sodium hypochlorite from brine water. Potential drug. The team behind “Identification of Potential Drug Candidates for the SARS-Cov-2 using Structure Based Drug Discovery” tested 1,000 natural compounds against the main protease of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The three best natural compounds coming out of the search so far are found in apples (Malusdomestica), bell peppers (Capsicum annuum) and the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Further simulations are needed to test the compounds’ stability. More researches are being conducted to identify additional compounds and to find what compounds or “ligand complexes” will be better alternatives because of their characteristics. Staying fit. The UP College of Human Kinetics (CHK) launched “SIPA-in COVID, A UP CHK Initiative” on the Facebook containing infographics on the recommended daily physical activity work-outs and physical activity with a relative intensity for all ages on Apr. 26. SIPA (short incidental physical activity) is an exercise routine with four to five minutes duration to be done every two hours all throughout the day, said CHK dean Francis Carlos B. Diaz. The infographics were also uploaded on CHK’s social media platforms (Twitter: https://twitter.com/uphumankinetics and Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SIPAinCOVID/). Donation drive.

The QC Solar Electric Vehicle Charging Network is composed of three rapid electric vehicle charging – Charging in Minutes (CharM) fast-charging stations located at key points in QC where electric vehicles (EVs) such as electric scooters and e-trikes can charge for free. Launched on Dec. 14, the three locations are the Electrical and Electronics Engineering charging station beside the building proper along P. Velasquez Street, the QC Department of Public Order and Safety Building at the QC City Hall Compound along Elliptical Road, and the Environmental Building at Barangay Payatas.

Aquino from the Department of Energy, San Diego, and QC Assistant City Administrator for Fiscal Affairs Don Francis Javillonar. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Each CharM station can charge a single e-trike in less than an hour as opposed to the eight to 10 hours it would normally take when plugged into a regular 220-volt outlet. They are equipped with various adapters that can be used on most e-scooters, e-bikes, and even small electric cars. The CharM stations are also equipped with solar panels to supplement, and in emergency situations, replace the electrical lines supplying it. The network is one of the end products of “Determination of Optimal Placement of Electric Vehicle Charging Station in a Local Public Transportation System” by the Electric Mobility Group of the National Center for Transportation Studies. The group coordinated with the QC Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS) who assisted them in surveying three of the biggest tricycle operators and drivers associations (TODAs) in the city, namely, Litex-Commonwealth TODA, Litex-Payatas TODA, Payatas TODA, and Parkwoods TODA for the project. The DPOS members were also trained by the project staff on the effective management of the charging stations as well as the vehicles prior to the launch. San Diego. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO DPOS Department Head Elmo D. G. San Diego said the QC government is supportive of using e-trikes as it can carry more passengers per unit, which reduces the use of the roadways. “Dalawang conventional na tricycle ang equivalent ng isang e-trike dahil six-seater yan e. Malaking bagay doon sa old capacity natin. Maa-accommodate niya kahit 50 percent. Malaking bagay sa city yan dahil iyong usage ng kalye natin mare-reduce,” he said. Another advantage of e-trikes is improving air quality. “Ang QC kasi may 25,000 franchised tricycles. Siguro nasa 30-40 percent niyan iyong two-stroke engine, iyon ang pinaka-pollutant sa lahat,” San Diego said. For the next three years, the CharM stations will service the nearly 300 e-trikes plying the city as well as other motorists using compatible e-vehicles.The project is funded by the Department of Science and Technology Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIERRD).

https://upd.edu.ph/bike-sharing-service-at-up-diliman/ | Bike sharing service at UP Diliman - University of the Philippines Diliman | Bike sharing service at UP Diliman Anna Regidor - Diliman Information Office August 18, 2015 | UPDate Online > CampusA UP Bike Share unit. (August 18, 2015)—Getting around the 493-hectare UP Diliman (UPD) campus is a daily challenge for many students, who often travel from one building to another as they go through their classes. One student group is attempting to make things better by creating a free bike-sharing system on campus. UP Bike Share, a non-profit advocacy group of undergraduate students, is now providing free use of 30 red-and-white painted bikes for some 50 dormitory students in UPD as part of a plan to provide better transportation for the UPD community. Bike Sharing. According to the Melbourne Bike Sharing website, bike sharing is when “a number of bikes are made available for shared use amongst individuals who do not own any of the bikes. It is designed for short trips between conveniently located stations.” A movement that began in the 1960s, bike sharing has found success in much of Europe and many places in the USA where it had “profound effect on creating a larger cycling population, increasing transit use, decreasing greenhouses gases and improving public health,” according to bike-sharing consultancy firmMetroBike, LLC. Students who sign up with UP Bike Share can use any of its bike units for the whole semester, parked in designated bike racks or stations on campus to travel to their next destination quickly and efficiently. Because of the limited number of bikes, the group will be opening additional bike share slots in the coming months. “Biking is more convenient and from our research, we found that biking is actually the fastest way to get around UP: it’s much faster than taking the jeep and walking or than taking a private vehicle,” said UP Bike Share President Miguel Laperal. He adds that bike sharing differs from bike rentals in that a set of members share a pool of bikes instead of one person having exclusive access to one bike for the whole semester. “So if for example I go to AS with a bike, paglabas ko I may be using a different bike or I might be using the same bike. It’s open. It’s more efficient,” he said. UP Bike Share consists of 24 mostly undergraduate students from the colleges of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts. The group pooled their resources and purchased 10 surplus Japanese bikes and solicited 20 more from generous corporate sponsors to begin their project. UP Bike Share began in Aug. 8, with 50 pre-signed dormitory students given access to the bikes. UP Bike Share’s proposed shed. Bike stations were set up in Yakal, Molave and Kalayaan Residence Halls as well as in Palma Hall and the Institute of Mathematics building. Aside from use of the units, the students were also given a short seminar on bike safety as well as a handy manual where they can log where and when they deposited the bikes. Bike chains and combination locks are used to secure the units. “We teach them proper hand signals, safety regulation and procedures like say, if this happens to your bike, what do you do? The UP Health Service and UPD Police numbers are also there,” Laperal said. According to their initial survey, about 30 percent of buildings in UPD have bike racks, only a few of which are properly and prominently placed. “Not all bike racks are in the line of sight of security guards. Most bike racks also aren’t covered,” Laperal said. Theft is also major concern, as there is no culture of bike sharing in UPD and it is always possible, but Laperal is optimistic. “A lot of the security lies in the community itself. What we’re focusing on is community building. We can’t prevent theft but we can at least build a safe environment for bike sharing to flourish,” he said. The future. Laperal said the group hopes to continue and expand UP Bike Share into a full-blown system with bike sheds at every building, at par with advanced ones in other countries. “What we are imagining is a system where a student can input his student number or scan the barcode of his UP ID and a set PIN number onto the bikes. We’ll have consoles [behind the bike seat] where [member] students can input their PIN then they can bike wherever in the campus they want. And in that building they can just lock up the bikes using the built-in locks and whoever comes along can use it again,” he said. The group currently has four teams working on creating the console using technology developed by students inside the College of Engineering. They hope to have a prototype by January 2016 and have a beta test launch by the start of AY 2016-2017. The console will also have safety feature where individual bike movement can be wirelessly tracked as an additional safety feature. “We can wirelessly track the bikes, know who’s riding them, know the direction they’re heading, where they are in the campus and detect anomalous behavior,” said UP Bike Share member Cyrill Chan. The group is also in talks with the Office of the Campus Architect about building additional bike racks on campus. UP Bike Share is part of Upstart, an organization based in the National Engineering Center composed of UP students interested in technology and entrepreneurship. Beyond the efficiency and transport benefits, Laperal hopes UP Bike Share will encourage students to get out of their comfort zones and appreciate the beauty of the campus. “When you’re on a bike you see the city differently. You see your surroundings differently. You’re no longer in this tin can where you’re breathing air conditioned air and you’re seeing the city through windows. And we believe that this will make people care more, because you care more about the air that you breathe, the scenery that you see,” he said.

Nepomuceno said. Nepomuceno added that she is glad that the CDC through its president, Agnes VST Devanadera, approved the renewal of the MOU with UPD. The CDC’s first MOU with the CI was in October 2018. (Standing) Staff of the CI and the CDC with (seated from left) Nepomuceno, Vistan, Devanadera, and De La Rosa.

Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office November 24, 2023 | UPDate Online > Extension After almost five years, the project labeled only as “Remains Collection and Identification” will now be able to resume its activities. In May 2018, then UP Diliman (UPD) chancellor Michael L. Tan initiated the project of collecting and identifying human bones from the National Museum which are believed to be that of Japanese soldiers of World War II. The project is a partnership between the Philippines through the UPD and the Japanese government through its Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW). The project intended to assist the Japanese government in their efforts to return the remains of their soldiers to their country. (From left) Vesagas, Koshikawa, and Hayashi. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO The project’s implementation is now ongoing, the latest of which was the UPD Department of Anthropology’s (DAnthro) negotiation with the National Museum and the eventual transfer of about 250 boxes of probable Japanese remains to UPD. These boxed remains came from various locations in the country believed to have been sites where most Japanese soldiers were based during World War II. The MHLW and Japanese embassy are also closely working with the Department of Foreign Affairs for the repatriation of the remains, and the Department of Interior and Local Government, for the coordination with the towns and cities for the remains collection.

Florendo said under Tan’s guidance, a series of meetings that included planning for a laboratory and storage room began in May 2022. The UPD Office of the Vice Chancellor for Planning and Development was in charge of the renovation of the rooms in Llamas Hall behind Palma Hall Pavilion 1, which will serve as the project’s storage room and laboratory. “Thank you very much for giving us a hand in this very important national project. With the support of the Philippine government, we can strategize these very intensive remains collection activities. However, because of COVID-19, this project has been suspended for two to three years. Finally, we can start this very important remains collection,” said Koshikawa Kazuhiko, Japanese ambassador to the Philippines.

In response to Koshikawa, Tan said “[W]e recognize the cultural importance of bones in Japan, China, and East Asia. So we are very supportive of this. We also see the value for our programs to be able to host this very special project, together with its historical background. I would just like to take the liberty of saying that UP, being the national university, will be ready to offer advice, to the Japanese team.” He was apologetic to the Japanese government for the apparent selling of bones by some unscrupulous Filipinos.

Caranza, UPDIO At the Paglulunsad at Paglalayag 2023 on Aug. 18, the department officially launched the latest issue of The Archive Classics which featured the bilingual edition of Scheerer’s paper, Sagen der Atayalen auf Formosa. Scheerer’s work was translated into English through the support of the German Embassy in the Philippines as Legends of the Atayal People on Formosa (Legends). It was translated by Markus Locker, PhD, an associate professor of Biblical theology at the Ateneo de Manila University. The Archive is the department’s official peer-reviewed journal, and The Archive Classics is the journal’s special issue which features monumental works in Philippine linguistics. Originally published in German by Dietrich Reimer Hamburg Boysen in 1932, Legends is one of the earliest accounts of the Atayal people, an indigenous people in Taiwan. According to Jem Javier, PhD, the journal editor, Legends is both a “written record of Atayal folklore and languages” and “an early research work that attempted to establish the genetic relationship between Formosan and Philippine languages.” The journal. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO It was through Scheerer that The Archive was established. It was first a repository of research papers in linguistics of his graduate students in the 1920s, then a full-fledged peer-reviewed journal officially published by the department. Scheerer was also DLingg’s second chairperson, succeeding Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, PhD. After the journal launch, two lectures followed. The first lecture was Otto Scheerer’s Academic Journey in the Philippines by Richard Scheerer, MD, Otto Scheerer’s grandson and family historian of the Scheerer estate. He recounted his grandfather’s journey from being an ordinary employee in a Manila-based German firm to journeying in Japan and Formosa (now known as Taiwan) before coming back to the Philippines and eventually teaching in the then-newly established DLingg. The second lecture was The Atayal of Formosa: An Overview of the Language, People, and Research by Victoria Chen, PhD of the Victoria University of Wellington. Among the guests were the newly minted German Ambassador to the Philippines Andreas Michael Pfaffernoschke, UPD Chancellor Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II, and CSSP Dean Maria Bernadette L. Abrera. Paglulunsad at Paglalayag 2023 is part of the yearlong series of activities celebrating the DLingg’s 100th year, which was established on 28 Aug. 1922.

Jadloc - Diliman Information Office September 07, 2023 | UPDate Online > Research A group of international researchers that included Gennevieve Macam, PhD, an associate professor of physics at the National Institute of Physics of the UP Diliman College of Science (CS) recently discovered that the behavior of Weyl fermions can be understood through the use of Albert Einstein’s ideas on causality. Macam. Photo from the CS Weyl fermions are exotic subatomic particles that are similar to electrons but have no mass. These were first proposed by mathematician and physicist Hermann Weyl in 1929 but their existence was only discovered in 2015 by an international team led by Princeton University scientists. In the study, Causal Structure of Interacting Weyl Fermions in Condensed Matter Systems, Macam and other researchers found that the concepts of causality that normally apply to space and time could also be used to describe the behavior of Weyl fermions in terms of energy and momentum. Causality refers to how one event can directly lead to another event in a cause-and-effect relationship. Einstein realized that nothing can travel faster than light, which led to the concept of “light cones.” Light cones represent all the possible paths that light or any signal moving at the speed of light can take from a given event in space and time. Anything inside the light cone of an event could potentially be influenced by that event, while anything outside the light cone cannot be affected by it due to the limitation imposed by the speed of light. The outer boundary of this cone is called the “event horizon.” “Our work shows how Einstein’s equations can be adapted to describe quantum materials. This paves the way to a better understanding of how the strange quantum world and our everyday reality are intertwined,” Macam said. The study is a collaboration among UP’s Macam; Wei-Chi Chiu from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts; Guoqing Chang, PhD, an assistant professor at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore; Ilya Belopolski of Princeton University in New Jersey, USA; Shin–Ming Huang, PhD of the National Sun Yat-sen University; Robert S.

https://upd.edu.ph/understanding-and-preserving-baybayin/ | Understanding and preserving Baybayin - University of the Philippines Diliman | University of the Philippines Diliman HomeAbout Academics Research Students Admissions News Research Understanding and preserving Baybayin Bino Gamba - Diliman Information Office September 19, 2023 | UPDate Online > Research Early this year, three scientists from the Institute of Mathematics (IM) of the UP Diliman (UPD) College of Science (CS) made national headlines with their study, Block-level Optical Character Recognition [OCR] System for Automatic Transliterations of Baybayin Texts and Using Support Vector Machine (Block-level OCR System). Pino. Photo from Pino Rodney Pino, Renier Mendoza, PhD, and Rachelle Sambayan, PhD, developed an algorithm to convert or translate an entire paragraph of Baybayin scripts into Latin characters using a support vector machine (SVM). Baybayin is an old Tagalog writing system primarily used in the northern Philippines during the pre-Hispanic period. Meanwhile, the SVM is a cutting-edge machine that can categorize hand or typewritten characters. Block-level OCR System claims to be the first OCR study that can classify Baybayin at the block or paragraph level. In an email correspondence with UPDate Online, Pino explained that his interest in studying Baybayin was influenced by Mendoza, his master thesis adviser at the IM. “He was the one who discussed with me and revealed his intention to develop a Baybayin OCR for my MS thesis. He then invited Sambayan, a specialist in SVM to work with the Baybayin OCR,” said Pino. Pino’s master thesis is Baybayin Optical Recognition System Using Support Vector Machine. He finished his Master of Science in Applied Mathematics in 2021 and was named most outstanding Master of Science graduate by the CS. Pino said he and his team chose to conduct the study because, “Baybayin and other old scripts are living proof that our nation has a unique systematic manner of writing. The one we can consider our own writing system and feel proud of and humble about as Filipinos.” According to Pino, Baybayin OCR is still in its infancy stage unlike other highly-developed OCR for other scripts such as the Roman alphabet and the Han scripts, among others. A UPD bicycle lane with Baybayin scripts. Photo by Bino Gamba, UPDIO “Fortunately, the SVM method we tried out for the Baybayin script worked and has a good recognition rate when classifying or identifying Baybayin characters,” he said. Pino added that technology has played an important role in the ongoing restoration of the script. Mobile keyboards such as Gboards have indigenous scripts included in their keyboard settings. The Baybayin scripts can now be typed into word processing. Currently, however, “There are none that translate or transliterate Baybayin manuscripts into comprehensible Latin or Roman text,” he said. Still, with the technology that Pino and his team developed, the Baybayin writing system can be conveniently learned, read, and written. Pino said he and his team’s study supports House Bill 1022, the bill that recognizes Baybayin as a national writing system. Looking forward, Pino and his team hope to develop an application that can function as a two-way text converter from Baybayin to Latin and vice versa, similar to Google Lens’ translate feature.

Jadloc - Diliman Information Office October 02, 2023 | UPDate Online > Research The World’s Mangroves 2000-2020, the 2023 report of the United Nations (UN) Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), used the Mangrove Vegetation Index (MVI) developed by UP Diliman (UPD) researchers as its mapping methodology. The report is about global and regional estimates of the area covered by mangrove forests, including area changes between 2000 and 2020. The MVI is a new index developed to map mangroves to help preserve coastal ecosystems. This was developed by Alvin Baloloy together with Ariel C. Blanco, DEng, Raymund Rhommel C. Sta. Ana, and Kazuo Nadaoka, researchers from UPD and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, respectively. Baloloy. Photo from Baloloy’s LinkedIn account Baloloy is a remote sensing and geographical information system (RS-GIS) specialist from the Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (TCAGP) at the Department of Geodetic Engineering (DGE) of the UPD College of Engineering (COE).

Book cover. Image from FAO website According to the researchers’ study published in the ISPRS [International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing] Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (Volume 166, August 2020), the MVI is a new index that “rapidly and accurately maps mangroves extent from remotely-sensed imageries.” It uses green, NIR (Near Infrared), and SWIR1 (shortwave infrared) bands “to discriminate the distinct greenness and moisture of mangroves from terrestrial vegetation and other land cover.” The MVI was also used in generating the mangrove extent map of the Philippines in 2019. The MVI was developed under the BlueCARES project of UPD and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The JICA website post on 6 July 2020 explained that BlueCARES project aims to aid “policymakers develop scientific-based conservation measures to preserve and improve coastal ecosystems.” In his Facebook post, Baloloy credited Blanco for being his mentor, under whose watch MVI was developed.

It is an aid for University officials, building administrators, and maintenance personnel to ensure that the University fulfills its purpose as an academic institution while taking into consideration all existing life in the University’s environments. Watch the launch of the Handbook here. UP Diliman’s Commitment to Environmental Sustainability In 2019, the UPD Committee on Environmental Sustainability drafted the document UP Diliman’s Commitment to Environmental Sustainability: Goals, Policies and Action Points (UPDCES). It outlines the University’s commitment to environmental sustainability as huided by these principles: human rights-based, participatory, non-discriminatory, gender-fair, social justice and ecological balance. Memo No. FRN-22-045: April as UP Diliman’s Environmental Sustainability Month Toward making UP Diliman a model green and sustainable campus, the month of April is designated as the UPD Environmental Sustainability Month from 2022 onward through this memo by Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo. Memo No. PERR 09-024: Native Trees Policy for the UP Campuses for the Next Century This memo directs all UP constituent units to discontinue the planting of exotic/introduced species on UP lands and instead promote the use of native plants for supplementary planting or landscaping. This memo was signed by UP President Emerlinda Roman in 2009. Memo No. CAS-12-038: Guidelines for Tree Planting at UP Diliman In this memo, UP Diliman sets guidelines and conditions for tree-planting activities on campus. Since the campus is already quite vegetated and requires no mass planting, the guidelines are primarily for the replacement of non-indigenous trees and for landscapes around new infrastructure. IV.

The RTD guest speakers and participants. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO Manahan was one of the guest speakers at the roundtable discussion (RTD) Radical Television in the Time of Crises organized by the Department of Broadcast Communication (DBC) of the UP Diliman (UPD) College of Mass Communication (CMC) and was held on Nov. 23 at the CMC Auditorium. Joining Manahan were Nick Santiago, founder, partner, and commercial director of Arcade Film Factory; Eji Santos (participated via Zoom), software developer and game designer at IUGO Mobile Entertainment based in Canada; and Joelle Yuvienco, voice artist, host, and creator of Paano Kung podcast. Manahan. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO According to DBC Chair Alwin C. Aguirre, the RTD aimed to explore and discuss new forms of televisuality, how the audience was changed with this new forms, and how they were being done even during the time of crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. From the website of Rutgers University Press, televisuality is described as “a theoretical term coined by John Caldwell in the mid-1990s to characterize a change in the look and practice of television programming. This change began around 1980 and continues to the present day.” In the article Televisuality: Style and the Small Screen by Tim Dant, the traditional form of television was “the standard way of capturing live studio shows (music, games, comedy, and variety performances, soap opera) as well as reporting outdoor events including sports, in which the camera simply gave the television viewer the perspective of a spectator at the live event.” Santiago. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO “Trust is very important in news,” Manahan added. “In the present landscape, less and less people are watching TV. Instead, they go to platforms where most people are watching, like TikTok. We need to recapture people. People will trust news more if they know the off-cam preparation of news reporting.” Manahan has his own TikTok account to reach out to those on TikTok. Santiago discussed how he started in the advertising industry. “I answered a lot of yeses to a lot of wild options.” He experimented in producing TV advertisements so that their output would stand out among the competition. Arcade Film Factory made advertisements for fast-food chains, telecommunication companies, banks, insurance companies, food products, and beverages, among others. “We are bombarded with ads every day. Our challenge is being able to grab the attention of the viewers. The holy grail of ads is being shareable, ‘panoorin mo ito, nakuha mo ba?’ Be part of what’s cool and keep being creative,” Santiago said. Regarding game shows, which is part of televisuality, Santos said “Filipino audience is very specific sa games, at ang masa ng Filipino ang majority na target namin. Isa sa ginawa naming game ay ang Wil to Play, tulad ng isang variety game show sa Pinas.” The mobile app is based on the TV game show Wowowin.” Santos. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO In studying their clients’ demography, “ang karamihan sa market namin sa Pilipinas ay mga nanay at kababaihan na naiiwan sa bahay. Ang gusto nilang laro ay iyong pampalipas-oras at hindi na nila kailangang mag-isip masyado,” Santos explained. Mobile apps like this affected the viewing habits of Filipinos. Instead of just being viewers of the TV show, they can now be the players themselves in the mobile game app. With the advent of video sharing platforms like TikTok, Facebook Reel, and even YouTube, more Filipinos became immersed in taking videos of themselves and sharing it on the platforms. Yuvienco started her podcasts during the pandemic. “Hugot ang gustong topic ng mga tao. At nakaka-relate sila kaya marami ring nakikinig sa mga podcast ko.” Yuvienco. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO “Sa pagiging voice artist naman, gusto ng companies na same pa rin ang method ng advertisements. Dapat ay not direct ad na tipong ‘Buy this,’ pero do things as subtle as you can,” Yuvienco challenged the audience.

https://upd.edu.ph/pasko-sa-upd-nagsimula-na/ | Pasko sa UPD, nagsimula na - University of the Philippines Diliman | Pasko sa UPD, nagsimula na Mariamme D. Jadloc - Diliman Information Office December 07, 2023 | UPDate Online > Campus Ang pagdaraos ng Pag-iilaw 2023 noong Disyembre 1 sa Oblation Plaza ay hudyat ng pagsisimula ng pagdiriwang ng Kapaskuhan sa UP Diliman (UPD). Ang Pag-iilaw 2023 ang nagbukas sa Year-End Program 2023 na may temang Panibagong Lakas. Tatsulokuyan. Larawang kuha ni Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Sa kanyang mensahe sa komunidad, sinabi ni UPD Tsanselor Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II na ang tema ay batay sa pagbangon ng UPD sa mabibigat na hamong pinagdaanan nito dulot ng pandemya. “Kasabay ng mapapait na pangyayaring ito ay ang mga karanasang nagbigay-lakas sa atin–ang pagtutulungan nating lahat, ang paglikha natin ng mga bagong paraan ng pag-aaral at pagtuturo, at ang pagtatagumpay ng marami sa kabila ng mga hinaharap na pagsubok,” ani Vistan. Hinimok din ni Vistan ang mga manonood na gamitin ang panibagong lakas na kanilang nakamit sa paglikha ng mga sustenableng lunas sa mga problemang kinakaharap ng komunidad at ng bayan–“mula sa pisikal na aspeto hanggang sa kaugnayan nito sa mga usaping mayroong kinalaman sa lipunan, pulitika, kalusugan, at maging sa kalikasan.” Samantala, sa pagbati ni Pangulo Angelo A. Jimenez sa UPD na inihatid ni Rolando B. Tolentino, Ph.D., bise presidente para sa mga gawaing pangmadla ng UP, sinabi niyang dapat pahalagahan ang seremonya ng Pag-iilaw sapagkat ito ay simbolo ng papel ng UP sa bayan. “Tulad ng mga parola o lighthouses sa madilim na kalawakan, ang UP ang nagsisilbing liwanag na tanglaw ng pag-asa at pagbabago laban sa katiwalian at culture of impunity o kawalan ng takot na maparusahan,” saad ni Jimenez. Ani Jimenez, ito ay napapanahon, lalo na ngayong laganap ang malawakang disinformation, trolling, at sponsored trending. Sinabi naman ni Roehl L. Jamon, bise tsanselor para sa mga gawaing pangkomunidad, ang kanyang tatlong kahilingan sa komunidad ng UPD sa pagdiriwang ng Year-End Program sa kampus: safety and security; pagsisinop ng basura; at sharing the road. “Lahat tayo ay pantay-pantay na may pananagutang pangalagaan ang sarili at ang bawat isa. Safety is everyone’s responsibility,” aniya. Sa usaping basura naman, sinabi ni Jamon na “Taon-taon, sa bawat pagdiriwang dito sa kampus, tone-toneladang basura ang winawalis at kinokolekta ng UPD Environmental Management Office tuwing matatapos ang mga programa. Pakiusap, basurang dala ninyo, huwag niyo namang iwanan dito.” Huli niyang hiniling na magbigayan sa paggamit ng daan. Chavez. Larawang kuha ni Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO “Share the road. Alam nating lahat na dumarami ang sasakyan subalit hindi nadaragdagan ang mga kalsada at mga parking space sa loob ng kampus. Walang mabilis at permanenteng solusyon dito sa kampus. Ang mayroon dito sa atin at hindi nauubos ay ang pagbibigayan. Sa mga pagkakataong tulad nito, hinihingi ko ang pakikiisa ng lahat. There’s no better place to learn to share the road than in UPD,” ani Jamon. Sa programa ng Pag-iilaw ay naghandog ang UP Rondalla ng mga himig ng Pasko (Payapang Daigdig at Pasko na Naman ni Felipe de Leon, Pambansang Alagad ng Sining sa Musika; at Diwa ng Pasko ni Ramon Tapales) at ng Eine Kleine Nachtmusik ni Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Ang mga itinanghal na awit ay inareglo nina Marie Jocelyn U. Marfil (Payapang Daigdig), Celso Espejo (Pasko na Naman), Paula Baylon (Diwa ng Pasko), at Elaine Espejo-Cajucum (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik). UP Dance Company.Larawang kuha ni Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Sinundan ito ng pagtatanghal ng isang sayaw ni Gabrielle Caitlin Leigh P. Chavez ng UP Dance Company (UPDC), sa koreograpiya ni JM Cabling at sa saliw ng Les Racines du Rêve nina Henry Torgue at Serge Houppin. Makaraan ang ilang sandali ay hinandugan ni Joshua Cadelina ng Acapellago, kasama ang Himig Sanghaya Chorale, ang komunidad ng UP ng mga awit na Kapayapaan ng Tropical Depression at Susi ng Ben&Ben. Ang mga awit ay sinaliwan ng musika ng mga mag-aaral ng UPD Kolehiyo ng Musika (College of Music / CMu) sa kumpas ni Katz Trangco. Cadelina, kasama ang Himig Sanghaya Chorale at ang mga mag-aaral ng CMu. Larawang kuha ni Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Ang pinakatampok na bahagi ng programa ay ang pag-iilaw ng installation art na Tatsulokuyan ni Abdulmari “Toym” Imao Jr., isang katuwang na propesor ng UPD Kolehiyo ng Sining Biswal. Ayon kay Imao, ang pamagat ng likhang sining ay hango sa tatlong salita: tatsulok, sulô, at kasalukuyan. Ipinaliwanag ni Imao na ang tatsulok ay sumisimbolo sa lipunan; ang sulô ay kumakatawan sa liwanag na inihahayag ng bawat pagdaraos ng Pag-iilaw; at ang kasalukuyan ay ang kalagayan ng bayan na nahaharap sa maraming pagsubok. Sa sitwasyong ito, ang bawat isa ay hinihimok na kumilos ayon sa nararapat bilang miyembro ng lipunang may katarungan. “Ginamit din ang bisikleta bilang metaporya. Ito ay isang effective expression ng people power symbolism,” ani Imao. Matapos ang pag-iilaw ng Tatsulokuyan ay muling nag-alay si Cadelina at ang Himig Sanghaya Chorale ng awit na Gising Na ng Rocksteddy sa saliw ng musika mula sa mga mag-aaral ng CMu sa kumpas pa rin ni Trangco. Naghandog din ang UPDC ng isang sayaw mula sa koreograpiya ni Cabling. Kasama nila ang UP Bike Share at ang UP Mountaineers. Ang mga pampinid na bilang naman ay inihandog ng grupong Acapellago na siya ring nagtanghal ng isang medley ng mga awit tuwing karoling. Matapos nito ay nasaksihan ng UPD ang isang fireworks display na handog ng Alpha Sigma Fraternity. Ang Pag-iilaw ay buong husay na ipinadaloy ni Jose Antonio R. Clemente, PhD, katuwang na bise presidente para sa mga gawaing akademiko (pagpapaunlad ng kaguruan) ng UP.

https://upd.edu.ph/compete-with-yourself-not-with-others/ | Compete with yourself, not with others - University of the Philippines Diliman | Compete with yourself, not with others Benito V. Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office December 11, 2023 | UPDate Online > Academe “We tend to compare ourselves to other actors but that’s not fair to us. So try to stay away from that. Don’t compare yourself to other actors because you are competing with yourself. Because there’s this saying we always use in theater: ‘We’re only as good as our last performance.’ So it’s always us that we have to watch over.” Award-winning theater and film actress Dolly de Leon shared this to the participants of the workshop Auditioning for a Role and Landing It. De Leon. Photo by Jacelle Isha B. Bonus, UPDIO The workshop was the launching activity of the newly-established Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (DUP) Studio. At the workshop, De Leon shared the steps she goes through for auditions, her experiences, and the ups and downs of participating in auditions. “You’re thinking, ‘Oh my God, gagawin ko iyan sa harap ng maraming tao. And then you’re going to do it. And then at the end, you didn’t get the part.’ So that’s the reality of an audition,” De Leon said. “They’re not easy. Why? You go to a place that is empty with a bunch of directors or casting directors. And you’re made to perform in a space that is not what’s written in the script. So you have to use imagination. You have to imagine yourself in that space. And actually believe that what is happening in the scene is happening in your reality,” she added. As a fan of American award-winning actor Bryan Cranston, De Leon showed a video clip of Cranston giving an inspirational talk. In the clip, Cranston said, “About 18 years ago, I had this cognition that I realized I was going into auditions trying to get a job and that simply wasn’t. It wasn’t what I was supposed to be doing. An actor is supposed to create a compelling, interesting character that serves the text. You present it in the environment where your audition happens. And then you walk away, that’s it. Everything else is out of your control so don’t even think about it. Don’t focus on that. You’re not going there to get a job.” De Leon (standing) and the workshop participants. Photo by Jacelle Isha B. Bonus, UPDIO In closing, De Leon reminded the workshop participants that it is about telling the story. “Remember, we are there to serve the story. It’s not about us. It’s not about us looking good. It’s not about us performing well. It’s about us telling this story and being faithful to the character that we’re playing,” she said. De Leon is an alumna of the pioneering batch of the Certificate in Theatre Arts program of the UP Diliman Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts. She gained international acclaim for her role in the Palme d’Or-winning Triangle of Sadness where she won the Guldbagge Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She also won the Cinemalaya 2023 Best Supporting Actress for the film Iti Mapupukaw. In June 2023, De Leon was invited to be a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which presents the annual Academy Awards or Oscars. Her recent film is the box-office hit A Very Good Girl with Kathryn Bernardo. Meanwhile, DUP Artistic Director Issa Manalo Lopez said, “Sana marami pang sessions na ganito—iyong makabubuo ng bagong kaalaman hindi sa top-down na paraan pero iyong matututo tayo sa isa’t isa.” She added, “Kaya sinimulan ang initiative na ito ng DUP kasi gusto rin naming buksan ang pag-unawa sa kung paano tayo magkakaroon ng mas malalim na kaalaman sa pagbubuo natin bilang Pilipino, kung paano nga bang umarte, paano nga ba sa teatro, paano nga ba sa pelikula at iba pang creative industries.” The three-hour workshop and launching of the DUP Studio were held at the Ignacio B. Gimenez–KAL Theater on Nov. 25. According to the DUP’s Facebook page, the DUP Studio “aims to create a space for deep and genuine connections that empower performance makers to contextualize and respond to the current issues and trends in theatre and performance studies and the call for safe and sustainable performance practices.” De Leon and the workshop participants and audience.

https://upd.edu.ph/upd-visits-culture-bearers-in-baguio/ | UPD visits culture bearers in Baguio - University of the Philippines Diliman | UPD visits culture bearers in Baguio Mariamme D. Jadloc - Diliman Information Office December 12, 2023 | UPDate Online > Academe After a successful seminar-workshop on indigenous and traditional cultures in Quezon City, the committee in charge of the UP Diliman (UPD) Culture Bearers-in-Residence Program embarked on another seminar-workshop, this time in Baguio. According to UPD Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Maria Vanessa Lusung-Oyzon, one of the key roles of UP is to lead in protecting indigenous knowledge or the katutubong kaalaman and kaalamang bayan. “[The] UPD Culture Bearers-in-Residence Program was conceptualized as one of the ways UPD innovates the promotion and preservation of indigenous and local knowledge,” Lusung-Oyzon said. Organizers and participants of Bisita Kultura: The Cordilleras (Bisita Kultura: The Cordilleras. Photo by Jose Carlo G. de Pano, UPDIO) Speaking before participants of the Bisita Kultura: The Cordilleras seminar-workshop, Lusung-Oyzon said the activity was another important initiative to ensure that what the program envisions will be realized. “We hope that through this program, we can further amplify the voices of the culture bearers, our cultural treasures, as they pass down their wisdom, share their rich cultural and historical knowledge [and] learning experiences to our students as well as our faculty, our researchers, and young artists through formal, informal, and non-formal meaningful learning sessions,” Lusung-Oyzon said. She hoped that the Culture Bearers-in-Residence Program will go further and touch more lives until it makes a difference. Meanwhile, Sir Anril P. Tiatco, PhD, co-chair of the committee, said the program’s steps to ensure the preservation of indigenous and local knowledge are through teaching via formal and non-formal pedagogical activities. “The culture masters are envisioned to teach and mentor UPD students, young researchers, and young artists, even scientists, even entrepreneurs, for a period ranging between three weeks and six months,” Tiatco said. In addition, he said the communities of the culture bearers shall also benefit from the program through joint projects with their students and through scholarly activities with UPD’s faculty. Participants and organizers of the seminar-workshop visit a culture-bearer in his community. Photo by Jose Carlo G. de Pano, UPDIO Bisita Kultura: The Cordilleras had six seminar-workshops. The sessions were the following: Indigenous Practices and Traditions: Impact on Everyday Life by Edgar “Cordillera’s Bamboo Man” Banasan, founder of EDAYA Arts Collective; Indigenous Knowledge: Impact on Everyday Life by Leah E. Abayao, PhD, dean of the UP Baguio (UPB) College of Social Sciences (CSS); Indigenous Knowledge and the Transfer of Knowledge: The Case of Cultural Performances (Roger S. Federico, faculty member at the Khon Kaen University College of Local Administration, Thailand); Visiting a Cultural Community: Research and Ethics (Analyn Salvador-Amores, PhD, professor at the CSS); Impact and Implication of Mounting an Exhibition on Indigenous Peoples: Focus on the Cordillera (Jennifer C. Josef, PhD, director of the UPB Museo Kordilyera); and Indigenous Knowledge: Impact on Youth Leadership (Ezrah Alyssa Ananayo, Samahang Kabataan chair of Barangay Happy Hallow). In her message to the participants, Director Monica Fides Amada W. Santos of the UPD Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts said there is still work that needs to be done to have a Culture Bearer-in-Residence Program that is inclusive, culturally sensitive, and ethical. “When I say inclusive, I mean a program that creates a learning and teaching environment, and that reflects cognitive justice which calls attention to and addresses hierarchies of knowledge. I think iyon ang isang gusto nating i-address in the program,” she said. Santos also reminded the participants to be mindful of their actions when dealing with indigenous knowledge or local practices. “As we try to give respect to the different forms of indigenous knowledge channeled through these culture bearers, we must also think of how this program might affect the community and the culture bearers themselves in terms of how we view our own knowledge and our own sense of self. We need to be conscious of our own positionality, our objectives,” she said. In closing, UP Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs and Co-Chair of the UPD Culture Bearers-in-Residence Program Ma. Theresa T. Payongayong said, “Mahalaga na habang lumalawig ang ating pagkaalam sa pamamagitan ng mga talakayan at konsultasyon, mas lumilinaw ang dapat lamanin ng guidelines sa pag-anyaya ng culture bearers at pagprotekta mula sa cultural misappropriation. Marami pang kailangang matutuhan at kailangang gawin, hindi pa tayo hihinto rito.” Bisita Kultura: The Cordilleras was held from Nov. 24 to 26 in Baguio City.

https://upd.edu.ph/combatting-online-sexual-harassment/ | Combatting online sexual harassment - University of the Philippines Diliman | Combatting online sexual harassment Benito V. Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office December 14, 2023 | UPDate Online > Campus “Prevention of sexual harassment primarily begins with raising the level of awareness of members of the UP community.” This was the remark of UP Diliman (UPD) Chancellor Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II at the Cybersecurity Talk Against Sexual Harassment and Launch of the Advocacy Sticker Campaign in Public Spaces (Cybersecurity Talk), an event of the UPD Office of Anti-Sexual Harassment (OASH). Vistan, in his video message, said the reported sexual harassment offenses in the past years, including complaints that were formally filed at OASH, involved the use of information and communication technology most especially through various social media platforms. Screenshot of Vistan’s video message. “Some individuals were unaware of the cybersecurity risks associated with online interactions and social media platforms and have limited knowledge on how to respond to online threats, including sexual harassments,” Vistan said. Cybersecurity Talk was held on Dec. 5 at the Alcantara Hall of the Student Union Building. It aimed to share information on how to combat online sexual harassment through cybersecurity and to encourage the attendees to be active in fighting sexual harassment. In attendance were UPD students and volunteers of the Barangay UP Campus Family and Community Healing Center. Jose Paolo Bernardo, information technology officer at the UPD University Computer Center, outlined seven dos and don’ts in online interactions. “First, don’t just click links. Check the URL since some sites may contain malware which can hack personal accounts. Next, use multi-factor authentication. It can be a one-time PIN [personal identification number] which can be sent via email or text message. This can also be done through an authenticator application or security keys. Number three is do not overshare. Oversharing of information can be against you since your information can be used for identity theft, robbing, or even stalking,” Bernardo shared. (From left) Bernardo, De Luna, Lectura, and Tubio. Photo by Jerald DJ. Caranza, UPDIO He also advised to “Always update contact details, especially recovery options. Updating recovery options ensure that you regain access to your account if ever something happens. Also use passwords. Create strong passwords and change them every three months. Use [a] password manager if necessary.” Bernardo’s last two tips were to check one’s online account status “to be sure if some individuals are trying to access your social media or other online accounts,” and to seek help from authorities and professionals and even one’s friends “if you experienced cyberattack.” To encourage attendees in the prevention of sexual harassment, Leizel Lectura, chief administrative officer of the UPD Human Resource Development Office, endorsed the use of Safecity, a website and mobile application project of the Red Dot Foundation. “Bakit po natin isinusulong ito? Kasi kung mananatiling invisible at hindi natin ipahahayag o tutulungang malaman ang totoong mukha o datos, hindi talaga natin matutugunan iyong mga problemang kinakaharap natin,” Lectura said. She is a volunteer program manager of the Safecity Project in Philippines. According to its website, Safecity is a platform launched in December 2012 that “crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces. The data, which may be anonymous, get aggregated as hot spots on a map indicating trends at a local level. The idea is to make the data useful for individuals, local communities, and local administration to identify factors that cause behavior that leads to violence and work on strategies for solutions.” The Red Dot Foundation Group, composed of Red Dot Foundation Global (USA) and Red Dot Foundation (India), works at the intersection of gender, technology, communications, data, and urban planning. Safecity is its flagship program. “Ito nga po ang sabi. ‘Sexual violence is an entire spectrum of abuse. Extreme underreporting makes the problem invisible.’ Tama ba? Totoo di ba? Without taking action, the lack of visible consequences undermines our ability to protect individuals from experiencing harm,” Lectura explained. From these observations, Lectura recommended the conduct of “capacity-building for women and communities nationwide in all sectors and institutions, leadership and competencies training to sustain the initiatives, and decision-making spaces where there is proper collaboration and partnership among women, men, young men, and other individuals.” Safecity Project volunteer Karl Guillermo Cesar Tubio demonstrated how the website and mobile application work by showing ways of how data are entered, how these are validated, and how the data can be accessed.

De Luna thanked all the resource persons and attendees and invited everyone to visit OASH. “Bumisita rin sana kayo sa OASH kasi part din kami ng community. At sana po kung pupunta kayo sa OASH ay hindi lang para magreklamo kundi para mag-volunteer din sa conduct ng aming training at seminars. And lastly, mag-download kayo ng Safecity app,” De Luna said. OASH also released its latest advocacy sticker with the message “Ang mga taga-UP ay palaban! Huwag ninyo kaming subukan! #NoToSexualHarassment.” Lectura posting the OASH advocacy sticker on the door of the University Food Service. Photo by Jerald DJ.

Jadloc - Diliman Information Office November 29, 2023 | UPDate Online > Extension “Your contribution as an individual is more important,” said Joselin Marcus E. Fragada, as he began his keynote speech at the 2nd Manila Bulletin Sustainability Forum 2023 (Sustainability Forum 2023) with the theme If Not Now, When?: Addressing the Urgency to Go Sustainable at the Malcolm Hall on Nov. 21. Fragada is the undersecretary for field operations of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). He represented DENR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga at the forum. Fragada. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO “[The theme] If Not Now, When? is very timely, because the students—the youth—play a very vital role in the protection of our environment and our natural resources. It always starts from an individual, not just a group who were told to come and do something about it,” Fragada explained further. Fragada’s speech was about DENR’s role in terms of sustainability. Issa Litton, the forum’s moderator, said DENR has always been at the forefront of advocating sustainability programs in the country and was invited at the forum to shed more light on their activities and programs concerning sustainability. According to Fragada, the Philippines has been ranked as among the countries at most risk of climate change and disaster, as it frequently faces hazards like earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions. “The DENR is working towards climate resiliency on the local and community levels, especially in climate-vulnerable areas. The DENR is currently pushing for nature-based solutions that are sustainable for both the environment and communities. Additionally, we are tapping the capacities of various stakeholders through the national and municipal levels on programs and projects to sustain gloomy green economies,” he said. Presently, the DENR embarked on a new program called Project Transform. Fragada explained the project was introduced in three areas: Ormoc City, Leyte, Bataan, and Siargao, Surigao. “Project Transform or Transdisciplinary Approach for Resilience in Environmental Sustainability Through Multistakeholder Engagement piloted in Ormoc City. The project engages the whole of society and implemented initiatives to improve community resilience, alleviate poverty, promote public-private partnership, and forge stronger multistakeholder collaborations. It will support the DENR’s resiliency framework by delivering environmental, social, and economic aid for local governments nationwide,” he said. Fragada added that the project is a testament to DENR’s commitment to disaster resiliency and environmental sustainability through partnerships with the local government units (LGUs) and the private sectors. He then encouraged the audience to engage in more collaborative projects as DENR’s successful programs are products of collaboration. “The more effective projects that we have are programs that have been collaborated on by the different agencies, LGUs, and the private sector,” Fragada said. In closing his message, Fragada addressed the students in the audience and encouraged them to participate in the sustainability movement. “I urge you to step into the forefront of the sustainability movement. Your energy, passion, and innovative thinking are powerful catalysts for positive change. Embrace opportunities to engage in environmental initiatives whether it is through activism, volunteering, or joining youth-led organizations. Be the driving force behind sustainable practices in your community, schools, and beyond. Your actions today contribute not only to a healthier planet but also to a resilient and sustainable future for generations to come. Remember the small steps you take today can lead to giant leaps for a sustainable environment,” Fragada said. Sustainability Forum 2023 continues the goal of Manila Bulletin to actively engage the public to make contributions to sustainable practices. The forum tackled the concept of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) through the discussions and insights of corporate partners. Cu-Unjieng. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO “We felt there would have to be a forum where you basically put all these different companies together, because at the end of the day, it’s really about cooperation. It’s really about working together in a multisectoral cooperative way to make things go forward,” said Philip Cu-Unjieng, the forum project head. He added “We want… the public and especially the youth to talk about and make a stand about it [sustainability]. You have to be proactive about what is going to happen because it is your future.” The forum, held until Nov. 22, had 16 participating organizations. Four sustainable development goal (SDG) themes were discussed at the forum featuring the participating organizations. On Nov. 21, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production and SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy were the forum’s themes. Meanwhile, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities were the themes on Nov. 22.

Jadloc - Diliman Information Office December 07, 2023 | UPDate Online > Research The research Unraveling the Skills and Motivation of Magdalenian Artists in the Depths of Atxurra Cave (Northern Spain) co-authored by Juan Rofes, PhD, recently landed on the pages of Scientific Reports, the online, open-access, peer-reviewed part of Nature Portfolio, covering studies on natural sciences, psychology, medicine, and engineering. Rofes. Photo from the UP School of Archaeology Facebook page Rofes is an associate professor at the UP Diliman School of Archaeology and is an environmental archaeologist and paleontologist. He co-authored the research with Diego Garate, PhD, a professor at the Department of Historical Sciences of the Universidad de Cantabria in Spain; Olivia Rivero, a lecturer of Paleolithic art at the Department of Prehistory, Ancient History, and Archaeology of the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain; and nine others. “The comprehensive study through a multidisciplinary approach in the exceptional archaeological record of the Ledge of the Horses in Atxurra Cave, has provided us with relevant information about how the Paleolithic human groups decorated their caves,” the researchers stated in their paper. According to the article Archaeologists Are Seeing Cave Art in a New Light by Bridget Alex published online by Atlas Obscura accessed on 5 Dec. 2023, the Ledge of the Horses is an artwork by Paleolithic people who “carved scores of galloping bison and tail-swishing horses on a wall eight feet above” the floor of the Atxurra Cave in Northern Spain. Image from the paper featuring a map, a photo of the Ledge of the Horses, and a plan of the cave. Image from the Scientific Reports Rofes et. al. said the Ledge of the Horses contains the main concentration of rock art inside the cave. The researchers said, “a multiproxy approach to this archaeological space allows us to define and recreate all the operational chains involved in the artistic creation and use of the Ledge of the Horses in Atxurra Cave.” Furthermore, the researchers found that, “We can describe the disposition of this rock art ensemble, classifying the figures in three thresholds according to the values of visibility of the natural shapes: low, medium, and high visibility. This is obtained by virtually simulating the scenario as if the fireplaces found under them were lit and counting the number of observers who can see each figure using GIS [Geographic Information System].” In their analysis, “the less visible figures… are those disposed in the lower part of the canvas, and in its corners. They are small, including some unfinished figures. In any case, there are also some striking examples of complex (combination of different techniques) and finished (abundance of corporal details like pelage) animal figures, like small bison completely full of projectiles, or two hinds.” The study also found that in general, “in the deeper contexts of the caves, the amount of archaeological remains is scarce.” The researchers reasoned, “This is because they come from one-off activities and brief incursions, and these remains can be described accordingly as a ‘discrete’ archaeological context. The remains generally appear on the surface, on the ground or on the walls, where materials of different chronologies can be found, which do not necessarily belong to the same temporal episode.” “Through this study, we have prove[n] that the parietal art decoration process featuring the Upper Magdalenian artist is the result of a complex and close relationships between the location of the artworks, the engraving techniques and technology, their visibility and organization in the space, and the illumination systems,” they concluded. They also found that the “iconographic display has been conceived and adapted to be seen by a third person and from another point in the gallery where the capacity is higher.” Rofes and his colleagues explained, “This requires deep and thoughtful planning including an attentive observation of space, which allows us to emphasize the idea of so-called Paleolithic art as a system of visual communication with a specific message shared by the human group involved in the action or even by other different groups. Consequently, the archaeological data recovered and analyzed in the Ledge of the Horses of Atxurra Cave is of relevance for a deeper understanding of one of the most relevant activities carried out by Upper Paleolithic human groups.” For more of the research, visit the Scientific Reports.

RESEARCH UP prof’s study on cave art published by Scientific Reports December 07, 2023 The research Unraveling the Skills and Motivation of Magdalenian Artists in the Depths of Atxurra Cave (Northern Spain) co-authored by Juan Rofes, PhD, recently landed on the pages of Scientific Reports, the online, open-access, peer-reviewed part of Nature Portfolio, covering studies on natural sciences, psychology, medicine, and engineering. Rofes. Photo from the UP School of Archaeology Facebook page Rofes is an associate professor at the UP Diliman School of Archaeology and is an environmental archaeologist and paleontologist. He co-authored the research with Diego Garate, PhD, a professor at the Department of Historical Sciences of the Universidad de Cantabria in Spain; Olivia Rivero, a lecturer of Paleolithic art at the Department of Prehistory, Ancient History, and Archaeology of the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain; and nine others. “The comprehensive study through a multidisciplinary approach in the exceptional archaeological record of the Ledge of the Horses in Atxurra Cave, has provided us with relevant information about how the Paleolithic human groups decorated their caves,” the researchers stated in their paper. According to the article Archaeologists Are Seeing Cave Art in a New Light by Bridget Alex published online by Atlas Obscura accessed on 5 Dec. 2023, the Ledge of the Horses is an artwork by Paleolithic people who “carved scores of galloping bison and tail-swishing horses on a wall eight feet above” the floor of the Atxurra Cave in Northern Spain. Image from the paper featuring a map, a photo of the Ledge of the Horses, and a plan of the cave. Image from the Scientific Reports Rofes et. al. said the Ledge of the Horses contains the main concentration of rock art inside the cave. The researchers said, “a multiproxy approach to this archaeological space allows us to define and recreate all the operational chains involved in the artistic creation and use of the Ledge of the Horses in Atxurra Cave.” Furthermore, the researchers found that, “We can describe the disposition of this rock art ensemble, classifying the figures in three thresholds according to the values of visibility of the natural shapes: low, medium, and high visibility. This is obtained by virtually simulating the scenario as if the fireplaces found under them were lit and counting the number of observers who can see each figure using GIS .” In their analysis, “the less visible figures… are those disposed in the lower part of the canvas, and in its corners. They are small, including some unfinished figures. In any case, there are also some striking examples of complex (combination of different techniques) and finished (abundance of corporal details like pelage) animal figures, like small bison completely full of projectiles, or two hinds.” The study also found that in general,… EXTENSION Sustainability starts with the individual November 29, 2023 “Your contribution as an individual is more important,” said Joselin Marcus E. Fragada, as he began his keynote speech at the 2nd Manila Bulletin Sustainability Forum 2023 (Sustainability Forum 2023) with the theme If Not Now, When?: Addressing the Urgency to Go Sustainable at the Malcolm Hall on Nov. 21. Fragada is the undersecretary for field operations of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). He represented DENR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo Loyzaga at the forum. Fragada. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO “ If Not Now, When? is very timely, because the students—the youth—play a very vital role in the protection of our environment and our natural resources. It always starts from an individual, not just a group who were told to come and do something about it,” Fragada explained further. Fragada’s speech was about DENR’s role in terms of sustainability. Issa Litton, the forum’s moderator, said DENR has always been at the forefront of advocating sustainability programs in the country and was invited at the forum to shed more light on their activities and programs concerning sustainability. According to Fragada, the Philippines has been ranked as among the countries at most risk of climate change and disaster, as it frequently faces hazards like earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions. “The DENR is working towards climate resiliency on the local and community levels, especially in climate-vulnerable areas. The DENR is currently pushing for nature-based solutions that are sustainable for both the environment and communities. Additionally, we are tapping the capacities of various stakeholders through the national and municipal levels on programs and projects to sustain gloomy green economies,” he said. Presently, the DENR embarked on a new program called Project Transform. Fragada explained the project was introduced in three areas: Ormoc City, Leyte, Bataan, and Siargao, Surigao. “Project Transform or Transdisciplinary Approach for Resilience in Environmental Sustainability Through Multistakeholder Engagement piloted in Ormoc City. The project engages the whole of society and implemented initiatives to improve community resilience, alleviate poverty, promote public-private partnership, and forge stronger multistakeholder collaborations. It will support the DENR’s resiliency framework by delivering environmental, social, and economic aid for local governments nationwide,” he said. Fragada added that the project is a testament to DENR’s commitment to disaster resiliency and environmental sustainability through partnerships with the local government units (LGUs) and the private sectors. He then encouraged the audience to engage in more collaborative projects as DENR’s successful programs are products of collaboration. “The more effective projects that we have are programs that have been collaborated on by the different agencies, LGUs, and the private sector,” Fragada said.
