CSWCD honors faculty in anniversary opening - University of the Philippines Diliman
CSWCD honors faculty in anniversary opening Diliman Information Office March 05, 2019 | Uncategorized > UPDate Online > Academe (MAR. 4)–The College of Social Work and Community Development (CSWCD) honored three of its faculty during the opening day of its College Week 2019 on Feb. 26 at the College Walkway. (From left) Ealdama, Quilicol, Claudio, Dela Cruz, College Secretary Prof. Mary Lou L. Alcid and CSWCD Student Council Chairperson Mary Shyn M. Valdeabella Assoc. Prof. Lenore P. Dela Cruz of the Department of Community Development (DCD) was honored for her 30 years of service as a faculty, aside from several years as a contractual staff. Department of Social Work (DSW) faculty members Assoc. Prof. Yolanda G. Ealdama and Asst. Prof. Rosalie T. Quilicol were awarded for their 15 years of service in the College. Dela Cruz finished her BS in Community Development (cum laude) and MA in Education both from UP Diliman (UPD). She is presently the director of the UPD Office of Extension Coordination (OEC). Ealdama is the current DSW chairperson. She has a BS in Social Work and Diploma in Women and Development both from CSWCD and an MA in Social Development from the Institute of Social Studies at The Hague, The Netherlands, now a component of the Erasmus University. Quilicol earned her BS and MA in Social Work both from CSWCD. “I started working in CSWCD in 1979, then in 1981 I became a training assistant in the Continuing Education Program. Former dean Amaryllis T. Torres asked me to try teaching but I was busy then with community works helping farmers in Central Luzon and I left the college for a while. I came back in 1988 and started teaching in DCD,” Dela Cruz said as the honorees’ representative. “My challenge to all present in this ceremony is to continue what the college had initiated as an institution, what we represent. May your years of service to the college and community be the launching place of glory and love (luwalhati’t pagsinta) of your memorable lives,” she said in the vernacular. UP Staff Chorale serenading the audience In her opening remarks, Dean Sylvia E. Claudio cited late CSWCD Prof. Flora Ransang as “the mother of Nik (Lorenzo Bonifacio), the youngest person memorialized in the Bantayog ng mga Bayani.” There are two kinds of heroes, she continued, “those who died young and those who live long. It is much difficult for the latter because they have to live a life of integrity that can be emulated by others.” This year’s anniversary theme is “Takder: Ipagdiwang ang Sama-samang Pagkilos ng Sambayanan.” “Takder” is an Ilocano word meaning “to stand” or “make a stand.” Other events for the whole week were online launching of Philippine Journal of Social Development Volume 11 2019 with the theme “Human Rights from the Margins” through the link http://cswcd.upd.edu.ph/index.php/2019/02/25/philippine-journal-of-social-development-volume-11-2019/ (Feb. 26); forums on “martial Law in Mindanao” (Feb. 26), “women’s issues” (Feb. 27)  and “lowering of the age of criminal liability (Feb. 28); film showing of documentaries and feature films (Feb. 28); and a night of solidarity and performances (Feb. 27). – Text and images by Benito V.

Feliciano taught at the College of Music from 1969 to 1972 and from 1980 to 1986.  He devoted much of his later life to the Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music (AILM), which he founded in 1980, and has become well known, and loved by church musicians. Feliciano was declared National Artist by the Office of the President just last June 20, and honored, together with another College of Music faculty Dr. Ramon Santos, in a tribute last month.  He was unable to attend because he was already ill. Feliciano will be buried today, September 25, 2014, at the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Manuel Conde: defining a cinema for the Filipino - University of the Philippines Diliman
Manuel Conde: defining a cinema for the Filipino Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office March 02, 2016 | UPDate Online > Campus (MAR. 2)—It was fate that brought Manuel Conde, one of the seven National Artists for Film, to filmmaking. When he missed the boat that will take him to Java, Indonesia to work as a junior geologist, he was invited by Carlos Vander Tolosa of LVN Pictures, Inc. (LVN) to be an assistant director. Christened Manuel Pabustan Urbano, Conde was born on Oct. 9, 1915 at Daet, Camarines Norte. In 2009, he was posthumously named National Artist for Film and Broadcast by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Conde is acknowledged by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts having “contributed in no small measure to the indigenization of the cinema, specifically: by assigning it a history and culture of its own; by revitalizing folk culture with urgent issues, fresh themes and new techniques; by depicting and critiquing Filipino customs, values and traditions according to the needs of the present; by employing and at the same time innovating on the traditional cinematic genres of his time; and by opening the local cinema to the world.” Dr. Nicanor G. Tiongson, in the lecture entitled “Usapang Pambansang Alagad ng Sining: Conde” held at the Claro M. Recto Hall, Faculty Center on Feb. 2, said Conde was the youngest of three boys and two girls and was orphaned at an early age. He grew up poor and for him to be able to watch movies in cinemas, “Nagma-mop siya sa labas ng sinehan. Naglilinis siya para makapanood siya.” CMC Professor Emeritus and former dean Dr. Nicanor G. Tiongson A professor emeritus and former College of Mass Communication (CMC) dean, Tiongson is a well-known critic, creative writer and academic scholar. His lecture discussed Conde’s biographical highlights (early years, Manila to Hollywood, the LVN hits, the social-political films and the last years), four representative films and his contribution to the creation of a Filipino cinema. Biographical highlights.  According to Tiongson, Conde went to Manila to study Geological Engineering at Adamson University. In 1935, he worked for Philippine Films without pay just for experience—sweeping the studio, cleaning the latrine, doing carpentry and performing as a stuntman for P0.60 a day. He married Julita Salazar in 1938 and was blessed with seven children. Unknown to many, Conde’s costumes for his epic movies were made by his wife. Conde co-wrote his first ever film script with Carlos Vander Tolosa for LVN’s first movie “Giliw” Ko in 1939.  Tiongson said for his directorial debut, LVN’s Doña Sisang (Narcisa de Leon) gave Conde “Sawing Gantimpala” which is based on the story of Aurora Quezon. “It was a hit. He was chosen by a local newspaper as best director for three consecutive years for ‘Maginoong Takas’, ‘Hiyas ng Dagat’ and ‘Caviteño’.” CMC dean Dr. Elena E. Pernia presented a plaque of Recognition for Manuel Conde to his son Jun Urbano (a.k.a Mr. Shooli of Mongolian Barbeque). Conde became friends with Carlos ‘Botong’ Francisco when they evacuated to Angono with Botong’s family in 1944 during the Japanese occupation in the Philippines. Then, instead of films, he directed plays such as “Kayumanggi,” “Timbangang Bakal,” “Bakya mo Neneng” and “Dadalisay” where he first collaborated with Botong who painted the stage backdrops. Botong became his very important collaborator and bosom friend. In 1983, Botong was named National Artist for Visual Arts. In 1947, Conde established the Manuel Conde Productions and produced notable films such as “Juan Tamad” (1947) “Juan Daldal” (1948), “Vende Cristo” (1948), “Prinsipe Paris” (1949), “Siete Infantes de Lara” (1950), “Genghis Khan” (1950), “Krus na Kawayan”  (1956), “Juan Tamad Goes to Congress” (1959), “Juan Tamad Goes to Society” (1960), “Si Juan Tamad at si Juan Masipag sa Politikang Walang Hanggan” (1963) and “Molave” (1961). He won four awards in the Philippines Herald’s movie popularity polls (Most Popular Male Star, Most Popular Character Actor, Most Popular Director and his movie “Siete Infastes de Lara” as Most Popular Picture in the Philippines) with the help of Julita. Genghis Khan movie poster (Photo source: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/276978/lifestyle/film-review-return-of-the-king-manuel-conde-s-genghis-khan) When Conde’s internationally acclaimed film “Genghis Khan” was shown in the Consolidated Film Industries in Hollywood, USA, in 1951, famous scriptwriter James Agee saw the film and was so impressed by it that he called it a masterpiece. According to Tiongson, Agee re-edited the film, wrote a narration in English and convinced Conde to join the competition in Venice, Italy. “Genghis Khan” competed for the Golden Lion Award in the 1952 Venice Film Festival and got rave reviews and special awards. He produced the social and political films from 1959 to 1963, among them three Juan Tamad series which Tiongson considered “radical and very dangerous at that time” but were “commercial and artistic success and define Conde’s image in Filipino cinema.” It was also during that time that his eldest son, Jun Urbano (popularly known as Mr. Shooli of the hit TV show “Mongolian Barbeque”), was already helping him with the script. Four representative films. In his filmmaking career that spanned more than three decades, Conde directed about 40 films. According to Tiongson, these films maybe categorized in four genres: romantic and musical comedies, costume epics, melodramas and political satires. Tiongson said Conde’s best romantic comedy is “Pilipino Kostum: No Touch” starring Mario Montenegro and Emma Alegre, “whose conflict is not only between the rich and the poor but also between urbanized and rural values, and between the modern American and traditional Hispanic traditions as embodied in the modern Arturo (Montenegro) and the conservative Adeling (Alegre). Conde was also known for his ambitious costume epics. “Conde’s costume pictures derive stories from ancient narratives from Europe and other foreign countries usually focusing on the love between the princes and the princesses and the machinations of their rivals in love, the intrigues of court or between the leaders of two or more kingdoms,” Tiongson said. The film “Genghis Khan” is the most famous of Conde’s costume epics. The costumes were designed by Botong Francisco. Meanwhile, Tiongson cited “Molave” as an example of Conde’s drama/melodrama films which he invested with socio-economic issues. The said genre “revolves around individuals and their personal relationships and conflicts with others. In view of the serious or even tragic tone, the melodrama has a convoluted plot with violent confrontations, betrayals and murders, all these in a Baroque narrative that nevertheless manages to end with good triumphing over evil.” The audience watching Conde’s “Genghis Khan” film at the CMC Dap-ay. Of all the film genres, the political satire is the genre identified with Conde “because it was he who pioneered and exemplified the imaginatively use of folklore for contemporary political commentary and specifically, the use of the pusong or trickster Juan Tamad as the mouthpiece of the people,” Tiongson said. “In defining Juan Tamad films, the pusong delivers the political messages. All the characters are caricatures being exaggerated representations of certain virtues or vices. Set ‘pre-colonial times,’ these films feature the campy native costume design by Botong Francisco and executed by Conde’s wife, Julita,” he said. Of the Juan Tamad films, “Juan Tamad Goes to Congress” proved to be the most critical and financial success. Defining cinema for the Filipino.  Films such as “Sietes Infantes De Lara,” “Ibong Adarna” and “Prinsipe Teñoso” are example of how Conde invested local cinema with a distinct cultural history by translating to the silver screen the age old stories that lowland Filipinos passed on from generation to generation. Conde also portrayed and revaluated in his films the contemporary manners and morals of the country as depicted in the movie “Pilipino Kostum: No Touch” (1955) which highlighted the collision between old Hispanic and the new Americanized culture. Tiongson added that in transforming the traditional cinematic genres, Conde “constantly upgrade and update these genres according to the needs audience and the times.” For instance, he introduced a new form of romantic comedy called “sophisticated comedy” which “drew humor not from slapstick or physical deformities of comedians but from witty dialog and the humor inherent in or proceeding from the situation of characters. Such are the type of comedy in films like ‘Señorito’ where he played the role of Señorito with Delia Razon,” Tiongson said. He also opened doors of opportunities for local cinema to be known internationally with his films “Genghis Khan” and “Sigfredo.” Tiongson said Conde went beyond the usual narrative, traditional genres and ventured into subject matter that would have been too monumental by the average producer. The prolific director retired from the movies “because he could not stomach directing without a script. Kasi uso na noon, 1960s ito, iyung independent producers who made money from just the superstars they hired. Very often, walang script,” Tiongson added. He received many awards despite his retirement. He received the Natatanging Gawad Urian in 1978; the Philippine Artist Hall of Fame Award in 1980 and Walang Kupas Award in 1983. Conde passed away on August 11, 1985 at age 69 from heart attack. In retrospect, Tiongson said “it becomes evident that the contributions of Manuel Conde to the Philippinization of the cinema proceeds precisely from his character as a trickster who like all visionary artists must dismantle and demolish the here and now in order to build a new order of things that comes closer to the ideal. For his vision of a more equitable society, for his unwavering commitment to country and the filmic art, Manuel Conde deserves the title which his contemporary says attached to his name in the 1950s, Conde the Magnificent.” Also present during the lecture was Conde’s son Jun Urbano who shared his thoughts on his father. After the lecture, two of Conde’s films, namely, “Señorito” and “Genghis Khan” were shown publicly at the College of Mass Communication Dap-ay on Feb. 3 and Feb. 4, respectively, as part of the “UPD Month 2016: Panahon ng Luwalhati” celebration.

OVCAA now has 8 offices - University of the Philippines Diliman
OVCAA now has 8 offices Chi A. Ibay - Diliman Information Office April 22, 2016 | UPDate Online > CampusOffice of the University Registrar The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (OVCAA) has been revitalized with the UP Board of Regents’ approval of the unit’s proposed restructuring at its 1316th Meeting on Mar. 31. The restructuring involves institutionalizing three offices, namely the General Education Center (GEC), Office of Field Activities (OFA) and the Office of International Linkages (OIL) and “expanding the services of, restructuring and/or renaming the five current offices,” the proposal noted. Prior to its restructuring, five offices comprised the OVCAA, namely the Office of the Director for Instruction (ODI) created in 1992, the Office of the University Registrar (OUR), the University Library (UL), the Diliman Interactive Learning Center (DILC, 2003) and the Office of Extension Coordination (OEC). The OVCAA and its offices are tasked with the development and implementation of globally competitive programs, systems and mechanisms for instruction, curriculum, and education technology that ensure the attainment of UP Diliman’s goals and objectives. New offices. The creation of the GEC stems from the importance of GE reform and the long-expressed need for a GE center. “It will support the administration to monitor and evaluate GE programs, but teaching is not its function,” said Dr. Benito M. Pacheco, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, in an interview in March. On the other hand, OIL Diliman is envisioned as “a key force in UPD’s quest for academic excellence and social innovation through the promotion of academic and cultural exchanges.  It shall provide an environment that allows the UPD community to actively and competently engage in global level pursuits,” notes the OVCAA Offices Sept. 2015 Midterm Report. From one section at OVCAA, OIL Diliman will become a full-fledged office concerned with everything international, Pacheco said. Meanwhile, the OFA will “oversee all local academic out-of-classroom activities that are part of the students’ curriculum, both in the undergraduate and graduate levels,” the Report states.  It shall continuously provide expert advising, assistance and networking opportunities to academic units that will guarantee the quality of learning and exposure of students in the field (as required in their curriculum) while ensuring compliance of these activities with the University’s operational policies and guidelines. However, “if the immersion or the on-the-job training is abroad, it will fall under OIL Diliman,” Pacheco said. Restructured/redefined offices. Two bigger offices, the OUR and UL, will not change drastically but are being reorganized for better efficiency, Pacheco said. Functions of the ODI and DILC have also been redefined. From the conduct of teaching effectiveness seminars and monitoring of the SET (now the Student Evaluation of Teaching), the ODI, which is now the Office for the Advancement of Teaching (OAT), “will be involved in career tracking of the faculty, similar to functions of the Human Resource Development Office (HRDO). Unlike the HRDO that is concerned with the formalities of processing, hiring and promotions, OID will focus on the continuing education and training of faculty members, especially the younger ones. It is a major function or redefinition for ODI,” Pacheco said. Rather than functioning as “a boutique developing good applications,” DILC should become the main platform,” Pacheco said. According to its website, the DILC “supports the interactive learning process through the development and production of multimedia materials. It helps develop faculty expertise in the integration of new technologies in teaching and learning.” In addition, the National Service Training Program (NSTP) will also be realigned. “Rather than looking at it as an extra-curricular activity, which was why it was with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, under the OVCAA, it is now viewed as a curricular activity,” Pacheco said. On the other hand, the OEC will continue to attend to local concerns, but will be transferred to the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development “in order to expand its activities relating to institutional extension projects and programs parallel with institutional research and creative works,” the proposal noted. According to the proposal, OVCAA’s new structure was the result of the review and evaluation process that began in 2014 participated by the Chancellor, the VCAA, heads and key staff members of the unit. Planning workshops were likewise held and tentative changes were gradually introduced and tested in coordination with the Office of the Chancellor, OVCRD and OVCSA. Prior to the BOR’s approval, the structure was pre-tested for close to two years with Program Development Associates and contractual staff with favorable outcomes. The OVCAA oversees three major concerns: Teaching, Curriculum and Education Technology. The proposal defines Teaching as referring to both the practitioner and the practice of teaching. It covers all initiatives that pertain to the concerns of the academic staff in their roles as facilitators of learning and teaching and as members of their home unit and of the larger UP community. Curriculum refers to the philosophy, principles, content, structure and implementation of the degree programs and their shared courses while Education Technology refers to the resources, services and tools that facilitate and enhance learning and teaching within and outside the classroom, including their development, application and promotion.

FC remembered as Linggo ng Parangal opens - University of the Philippines Diliman
FC remembered as Linggo ng Parangal opens Anna Regidor - Diliman Information Office May 18, 2016 | UPDate Online > Campus [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”14″ gal_title=”gallery one”]   (May 18)—May 16 was a night of remembrance and beginnings at the Faculty Center (FC) as UP Diliman held the “Seremonya ng Pag-alaala at Parangal sa Lingkod Komunidad” to open Linggo ng Parangal 2016. The first part of the ceremony commemorated the loss of the FC that was ravaged by a fire in the early morning of April 1, consuming the third and fourth floors of the building and destroying precious research, teaching materials and personal effects of many professors from the College of Arts and Letters (CAL) and College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP). The first flight of steps leading to the FC entrance along Roxas Ave. served as stage for the evening, which began with with the UP Filipiniana Dance Group performing an “inim” or “pagdiwata,” a purification ritual of the Tagbanwa people of Palawan. Next, CAL Dean Amihan Bonifacio-Ramolete and CSSP Dean Grace Aguiling-Dalisay performed “Litanya ng Gunita,” where they ceremoniously recited the names of the various rooms and places inside the FC that were consumed by the fire. The next part of the program focused on the “Puso-Pusoan,” Obra ng Pag-alaala, an art installation by artist and UPD alumnus Toym Imao. The work was inspired by the tradition of “Puso-Pusoan,” the Easter morning ritual where an angel descends from a makeshift tower and removes the veil of a mourning mother Mary. In the installation work, a contemporary winged heart/phoenix takes the place of the angel that is suspended from an “open star” similar to the traditional papier mache’ “puso.” It is propped up from a steel and bamboo tower which has also a kind of “pabitin” structure where around 50 to 60 multi-colored tear drop flames illuminate the entire installation. It serves as both a visual metaphor of mourning and rebirth. The unveiling of the artwork was highlighted by poetry reading by National Artist for Literature Bienvenido Lumbera accompanied by College of Music professor Solaiman Jamisaolamin. It was followed by Alay-Gunita, featuring performances by the UP Dance Company, Jamisolamin and CAL students Liana Ilka Chase Salazar and Marynor Madamesila to the music of Ryan Cayabyab’s “Minsan ang Minahal ay Ako.” The second half of the evening began with the recognition of the units whose help and efforts were crucial during and after the FC fire: Barangay UP Campus, Barangay UP Campus Fire Brigade and the UPD Campus Maintenance Office (CMO). Each of the units were presented with a plaque of recognition. This was followed by a number by violinist and UPD alumnus John Lesaca, who performed “This is the Moment” by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse from the musical “Jekyll and Hyde.” Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Benito M. Pacheco then officially introduced the awardees for Gawad Tsanselor 2016, who were present at the event. They are Neil Patrick S. Ferrer, Arizza S. Nocum, Raymond S. Velasco and John Paul delas Nieves (Gawad Tsanselor sa Natatanging Mag-aaral); Cesaria D. Juanillo, Luis G. Olid, Jr. (Gawad Tsanselor sa Natatanging Kawani); Elinor May K. Cruz, Elvira B. Lapuz and Risa L. Reyes (Gawad Tsanselor sa Natatanging REPS); Dr. Ramon G. Guillermo (Gawad Tsanselor sa Natatanging Mananaliksik sa Filipino); Dr. Jose Maria P. Balmaceda (College of Science), Alonzo A. Gabriel (College of Home Economics), Eulalio R. Guieb III (College of Mass Communication) (Gawad Tsanselor sa Natatanging Guro). The evening was concluded by UPD Chancellor Michael Tan, who commended support units and staff like the CMO and building administrators as well as Barangay UP Campus, who were of great help in quelling and watching over the FC in the days after April 1.

Four National Artists at UP Diliman Month - University of the Philippines Diliman
Four National Artists at UP Diliman Month Diliman Information Office January 17, 2016 | UPDate Online > Campus The lives and works of four National Artists of the Philippines are at the heart of Panahon ng Luwalhati, UP Diliman’s celebration of the arts and culture month in February. The featured artists, all of whom observed their birth centennial in 2015, are: Lamberto Avellana, conferred National Artist for Theater and Film in 1976, the first double awardee in the history of the award; Manuel Conde (Film, 2009), Severino Montano (Theater, 2001) and Nestor Vicente Madali (NVM) Gonzalez (Literature, 1997). This year, as the University celebrates the beginning of artists’ second century, the festivities draw inspiration from Gonzalez’s  novel “A Season of Grace,” which “counters the myth of the Philippines’ lost native past and cultural weakness in the face of foreign dominance,” notes goodreads.com. The selected works, highlighting the artists’ contributions to the development of Philippine arts and letters, comprise four films, two theater productions and three concerts featuring some of the University’s renowned performing groups. Film. The films are Conde’s “Señorito” (1953) and “Genghis Khan” (1950); and Avellana’s “Anak Dalita” (1957) and “Portrait of the Artist as Filipino” (1965). In “Señorito,” a father hires a woman to pose as a rich person and use her charms to change his son’s wild ways. While the ruse succeeds, the two fall in love, which is against the father’s rules.  Meanwhile, “Genhis Khan” narrates how Temujin builds an army and conquers many lands to earn the title Genhis Kahn, meaning “king without peer,” but becomes enslaved by his love for his opponent’s daughter. “Anak Dalita” tells of a war hero from Korea who returns to find his mother dying. When his mother dies, he is befriended by  a prostitute with a golden heart who takes care of him, but eventually both fall into a deeper relationship. On the other hand, “Portrait” is based on what is considered the “most important Filipino play in English” by Nick Joaquin, another National Artist for Literature. Set in 1941 in Intramuros, it is the story of the Marasigan sisters and their father and their efforts to overcome financial setbacks amidst changing cultures and identities brought by new Western ideals. Conde’s films will be screened at the Dap-ay of the College of Mass Communication at 7 p.m. on Feb 3 and 4, respectively. Avellana’s films will be at the College of Architecture auditorium at 7 p.m. on Feb. 10 and 11, respectively. All films are free and open to the public. Theater. Montano’s “The Ladies and the Senator” and Gonzalez’s “The Bread of Salt” (1958) will also be staged.

The concert features the Pep’s winning routines in various competitions locally and abroad. “Wanderer in the Night of the World,” a compilation of Gonzalez’s poems published by the University Press in 2015, is the inspiration behind the dance concert by the UPDC, to be staged on Feb.22 at the University Theater stage at 4 and 7:30 p.m. The concert is directed by Angela Lawenko-Baguilat. On Feb, 19, the UPCS performs “Konsyerto: Bawat Bata, Artista” at 3 and 7 p.m. at the UP Theater stage.

Avellana (Feb. 12, 1915 – Apr. 25, 1991), known as “The Boy Wonder of Philippine Movies,” “was the first to use the motion picture camera to establish a point of view, a move that revolutionized the techniques of film narration,” notes the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. He received the Grand Prix at the Asian Film Festival in Hong Kong for his film “Anak Dalita” in 1957 and in 1954, was the first Filipino to have his film (Kandelerong Pilak) shown at the Cannes International Film Festival.

He put up his own movie company, Manuel Conde Pictures in 1947 to direct and produce age-old Filipino stories that depict the distinct cultural history of the Philippines such as “Ibong Adarna” and “Prinsipe Tenoso” both in 1941, notes the Commission. Montano (Jan. 3, 1915 – Dec. 12, 1980) was a playwright, actor and theater organizer. He organized Arena Theater in 1952 at the Philippine Normal College, institutionalizing ‘legitimate theater’ in the Philippines. He also trained and directed the new generation of dramatists such as Rolando S. Tinio, Emmanuel Borlaza, Joonee Gamboa and Behn Cervantes.

The caravan had onsite services by selected agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Land Transportation Office.  Early participants were able to avail of their services like applications for tax identification number (BIR), clearance (NBI) and passport (DFA).  The services were well received by the UPD community. The 3-day event also includes a series of programs to build awareness on ARTA. Bala At the opening ceremonies, Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chair Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said through the ARTA caravan, citizens are given the chance to be part of the solution in the collective fight against red tape. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “red tape” as an official routine or procedure marked by excessive complexity which results in delay or inaction. “You are fulfilling your civic duty of making your government accountable to you as a citizen.  You can become part of the solution… The fight against red tape is a battle we can win.  Demand-driven accountability requires greater responsiveness from public officials and service providers,” she said. Citizens can be more than passive receivers when they want to be involved, when they do not only want a government that works but a government that works for and with them.  To exact accountability, there must be vigilant groups.  Dela Rosa-Bala called the public to give feedback to government agencies so as to also determine if the government upholds the principles of good governance: accountability, transparency and participation. At the opening ceremonies, UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan in his message addressed a recent article published at the “Philippine Daily Inquirer” with UP labeled as a “University of Pila.”  He clarified that even as UP still deals with issues on red tape because of legal matters, the long queues of students is not about red tape, but of enlistment choices that students taking up general education subjects must make, the sections of which are at least 70. The Chancellor is looking forward to a smoother computerization setup at UP which will result in a queue-less enlistment or a “No Pila” future. Present at the opening ceremonies were the heads of CSC, officials of UP System and Diliman including President Alfredo E. Pascual and Chancellor Michael L. Tan, and guests from various government agencies as well as officials and students of other universities and schools nationwide.

Plaques of appreciation were given to 13 National Artists or relatives/representatives present at the ceremony. Natasha Cabrera sings “Tayog ng Haraya.” According to the Official Gazette website, National Artists embody “the nation’s highest ideals in humanism and aesthetic expression through the distinct achievements of individual citizens.” The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) defines the Order of National Artists as “…the highest national recognition given to Filipino individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of Philippine arts; namely, Music, Dance, Theater, Visual Arts, Literature, Film, Broadcast Arts, and Architecture and Allied Arts.” Four living National Artists graced the event: Benedicto Cabrera (Visual Arts, conferred 2006), F.

The Office of the University Registrar shows that in the first semester of Academic Year (AY) 2016-2017, UPD had a student population of 25, 782. University Scholars (US) are students who have earned a General Weighted Average (GWA) of not lower than 1.25 in the second semester of Academic Year (AY) 2015-2016 and first semester of AY 2016-2017.

The five academic units with the most number of US are the College of Engineering (CoE) with 816 awardees, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP/620), Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business (VSB/464), College of Science (CS/318) and College of Arts and Letters (CAL/301). In the undergraduate level, CoE had the most number of US with 733 followed by CSSP (578), VSB (464), CAL (274) and CS (266). In the graduate level, CoE again topped the list with 83 followed by the Technology Management Center (61), College of Education (57), CS (52) and CSSP (42). CoE and CSSP are units with the largest student population while CEd, the largest graduate enrollment. UP also recognized graduates who made it to the top 10 in the  bar and licensure examinations for architects, librarians, teachers, accountants, interior designers, psychometricians, civil engineers, electronics and communication engineers, electrical engineers, chemists and geologists; those who have distinguished themselves in other fields; and those who won in national and international competitions.

Medalla, Marijo Angela T. Conejero and Nathaniel Emil L. Legacion (national champions, Best Speaker and Best Defense Memorial, International Humanitarian Law Moot Court Competition 2016 at the University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur); Raya Grace C. Tan (Overall Best speaker for Asia Pacific Regional Rounds, Price Media Law Moot Court Competition 2016 at Renmin University of China, Beijing, China); Veronica Louise B.

Calma (champion, HPAIR Asia Conference Impact Challenge Entrepreneurship and Technology Track Harvard Project for Asian International Relaions). Student volunteer tutors from the Diliman Learning Resource Center, the 2016 University Student Council Election volunteers, Corps of Cadets and Corps of Sponsors were given special awards. Furthermore, UP Diliman awarded the Natatanging Samahang Mag-aaral to student organizations: the UP Chemical Engineering Society, UP Journalism Club, UP Economics Society, UP Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants, UP LAKAN, UP Academic League of Chemical Engineering Students and UP Circle of Entrepreneurs. In addition to the usual certificate of recognition, the awardees also received a Parangal sa Mag-aaral pin designed by Kevin Brandon E. Saure, a CSSP graduate student and staff from the UP Diliman Information Office. According to Saure, the design of the pin spells the letters UPD, taking inspiration from the Diliman fern which means “pagpupugay sa kagalingang nag-ugat at yumabong sa Unibersidad—pagpupugay sa kahusayang patuloy na nililinang at magbubunga para sa bayan.” In his welcome remarks, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Jerwin F. Agpaoa urged the awardees to “give back and be blessings to others and help out those who may or may not be similarly situated. Helping out doesn’t have to necessarily involve great efforts and resources right away. You can start with baby steps. In your own small ways, you can be a tutor to fellow students or help us identify people who need help and refer them to offices concerned.” Agpaoa also encouraged the student achievers to remain humble and to “Give back by acknowledging the sources of your strengths and achievements as well as the people who have had significant influence over your lives. Don’t own your achievement as if you were the only one responsible for it.” Meanwhile, Chancellor Michael L. Tan, who referred to the Parangal sa Mag-aaral as the highlight of the Linggo ng Parangal, reminded the student achievers “We will honor you today for academic excellence. But, I wanted to remind you that there’s more to UP than academic excellence. We also feel that part of the excellence of UP must be an ethos of service.” The chancellor mentioned as an example students of the Music Education Department of the College of Music (CMu) who “have been working with communities in Angono, Payatas, helping young people there to gain access to music. This is so quiet but I was just so overwhelmed during the concert of the Music Education Department. The orchestras of Angono and Payatas were playing together with our UP students and the music ensemble is so much better.” In addition, Tan said the victory of student achievers and athletes are important because “Ang tagumpay ng UP ay tagumpay ng bayan. Your excellence in every field you are is always a victory for the nation. So, I would like to remind you about that. The feelings of joy you will have today when you get your medals and other honorifics will pass. They are fleeting and will pass very quickly but when you engage yourselves in public service, you will find that years from now, as you see the fruits of your labor, you will be proud of it. You will continue to feel the pride pass the value of your medals.” Like the DIWATA-I Microsatellite which celebrated its first anniversary of being launched into space on the same day as the Parangal sa Mag-aaral, the Chancellor said the student achievers “Just like DIWATA-I, you and the rest of UP will soar to greater heights and when you soar to those greater heights, together with the nation and not just with UP Diliman.” CMu student Raoul Carlo F. Angangco delivered an inspirational message for this year’s Parangal. He talked about the three important insights he gained while studying in UP which have molded his path and vocation: dare to dream, yearn to serve and live each day in gratitude. Angangco said “Daring to dream opens up possibilities that we never conceived of; daring to dream invites us to take risks; daring to dream allows us to make a choice. At the end of the day, is it not our dreams that fuel us to step out and change the world?” In changing the world, he encouraged his fellow achievers to serve. He said “When we yearn to serve, we desire for humanity a better life and a better future. Yearning to serve is what inspires Honor and Excellence. Find exactly what it is in your vocation that stirs your desire to serve.” Lastly, Angangco advised his fellow achievers to live each day in gratitude since “Whatever the circumstances of how our community affects us, living each day with a grateful heart keeps our dreams alive and our hunger to serve insatiable. It is with a grateful heart that we truly learn to live, and it is with the same grateful heart that we embody what it means to pursue honor and excellence in service.” The program was emceed by CSSP Professors Jairus D. Espiritu and Marielle Antoinette H. Zosa. UP Dancesport Society and UP Concert Chorus provided the intermission numbers. The event ended with the singing of UP Naming Mahal with accompaniment from the UP ROTC Symphonic Band under the baton of College of Music professor Rodney Ambat.

63 students conferred with PASP - University of the Philippines Diliman
63 students conferred with PASP Benito V. Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office May 08, 2017 | UPDate Online > StudentsPanuelos delivering her speech Sixty-three UP Diliman (UPD) students were conferred the honorific title “UP Performing Arts Scholar” and receiving their certificates of scholarship on Apr. 25, 2017 at the Balay Kalinaw. Recipients of the Performing Arts Scholarship Program (PASP) of the Office of the Chancellor, and administered by the UPD Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts (OICA), the scholarship is for the 2nd semester of Academic Year (AY) 2016-2017. The scholars are members of the seven current UPD Official Student Performing Arts Groups (OSPAG) chosen through the Honorific Award for Student Performing Arts Groups program (HASPAG). The scholars are from the UP Concert Chorus (UPCC, 6), UP Dance Company (UPDC, 4), UP Kontemporaryong Gamelang Pilipino (UP Kontra-GaPi, 2), UP Repertory Company (UP Rep, 9), UP Singing Ambassadors (UPSA, 9), UP Streetdance Club (UPSDC, 20) and UP Symphonic Band (UPSB, 13). PASP scholarship is in the form of a tuition waiver and is good for one semester, renewable every semester until the last year of appointment of the recipient’s organization as an OSPAG. All OSPAG members may apply for the PASP through their faculty adviser. HASPAG and PASP were approved by the UP Board of Regent at its 1312th meeting on Oct. 20, 2015. “PASP was established to appreciate the efforts of our student-artists. During my first term as chancellor, my administration’s theme was ‘Pride of Place.’ We expanded our theme in my second term as ‘Pride of Place, Pride in People.’ During my first years in UP, there was a system for awarding scholarship to student-artists. Later, it was discontinued and I believe there was a need to revive it. Thus, HASPAG and PASP were formed,” UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan said in his opening remarks. “Through HASPAG and PASP, we can tap the groups to provide cultural performances to the communities as extension activities that will bring UP to the people. In such way, we can counter the notion that UP people are elitists especially with our recent issues with Pres. Rodrigo Duterte like conferring him with an honoris causa. I also hope that more OSPAGs and PASP scholars will be named in the future,” Tan continued. Speaking on the recipients’ behalf, UPDC member Leong Sil Rose Y. Panuelos said she “learned two important things while preparing for our performances – commitment and sincerity. We must be committed to develop our craftsmanship as we put long hours into practice. Nothing is gained without much hardship. Second, sincerity is important in everything we do. We can achieve greatness by sincerely investing our time, effort and heart in our crafts,” Panuelos said. “What we achieve today shows the importance of balancing time for study, friends, family and self. I also congratulate each one because we lighten the burden of our parents through this scholarship. Let us continue to strive for excellence both in academic and extra-curricular activities,” Panuelos ended. She is in her second year in the dance program of the College of Music (CMu). Forty-one of the 63 recipients were present during the ceremonies with UPDC, UP Kontra-GaPi and UPSA having 100 percent attendance. For the 1st semester of AY 2016-2017, 49 were given scholarship, 34 of whom were renewed. Also present during the conferment were Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Prof. Jerwin F. Agpaoa; OICA Officer-in-Charge Dr. Sir Anril P. Tiatco; members of the OICA Advisory Board: Dean Joefe B. Santarita (Asian Center), Dean Leonardo C. Rosete (College of Fine Arts), Dean Aurorita T. Roldan (College of Home Economics), Dean Ronualdo U. Dizer (College of Human Kinetics) and Dean Edieser D. Dela Santa (Asian Institute of Tourism); and faculty advisers and artistic directors of the OSPAGs. ConChords, an a capella group composed of five College of Music students, provided the special number.

Incoming USC and Kulé EIC affirmed - University of the Philippines Diliman
Incoming USC and Kulé EIC affirmed Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office June 13, 2017 | UPDate Online > StudentsIncoming University Student Council (USC) and College Student Councils with Chancellor Michael L. Tan, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Jerwin F. Agpaoa and outgoing USC Vice Chairperson Beata Regina Carolino at the affirmation. (JUNE 13)—Incoming University Student Council (USC) Chairperson Benjie Allen D. Aquino, 12 councilors and 19 college representatives, and Philippine Collegian’s (Kulé/Collegian) new editor-in-chief (EIC) Sanny Boy D. Afable, were affirmed by Chancellor Michael L. Tan on Jun. 8 held at the Vinzons Hall Lobby. The newly appointed student officials and Kulé EIC serve a 1-year appointment effective Jun. 8 until June 2018. Aquino succeeds Bryle C. Leaño as USC chairperson. Beata Regina Carolino, USC Vice Chairperson for Academic Year (AY) 2016-2017, turned over the leadership to Aquino on behalf of Leaño who was at a press conference held on the same day at the College of Mass Communication auditorium. In her message to the incoming USC and CSC, Carolino said “Truth of the matter is there are more important things that are happening outside the University. But, of course, there are also equally important things that are happening inside. Please don’t use your responsibilities outside the student council as an excuse to miss out on your responsibilities as a student council member.” The new Philippine Collegian editorial board with outgoing editor-in-chief Karen Ann Macalalad, VC Agpaoa and Chancellor Tan. Carolino reminded the incoming student council members to “respect each other. You will have a lot of debates.  Never dehumanize your councilmates. Kung feeling mo wala siyang prinsipyo, hindi iyon excuse para insultuhin mo siya. Tao kayong lahat. Lahat kayo may pakiramdam, lahat kayo may pinagdaraanan. Kung hindi ka agree sa mga sinasabi niya, huwag mong alisin ‘yung pagkatao niya.” For Aquino, “It doesn’t matter if you’re the number one councilor or the number 12 councilor. We’re all just councilors. It doesn’t matter if your college has a population of 2,000 as compared to a college that has a population of 100. We’re all elected. We all have the mandate and we all have responsibility to fulfill that mandate. Let us not forget that.” He also said “I hope we come out of this term alive. We come out of this term as friends. At the end of the day, the relationships that we build, I really like to cherish that road that I will have with you.” Meanwhile, Afable, the first School of Statistics student to lead the Collegian, will replace Karen Ann Macalalad as EIC. According to the Kulé’s report, Afable bested three contenders in the editorial examinations held on Apr. 29 with a total score of 78.8 points. He also earned the highest score in all categories comprising editorial writing, news writing and layout. Macalalad turned over to Afable a logbook documenting all the activities and issues discussed during her term and the key to Kulé’s office. Incoming Kulé EIC Sanny Boy D. Afable accepts the logbook from outgoing EIC Karen Ann Macalalad. She informed the incoming editorial board members about the continuing issues faced by the Collegian when it comes to printing, bureaucratic process in the government, budget and office operations, and in dealing with bashers, harassment and threats from Kulé critics. “Ngunit kung may maganda mang bagay na naitatangi sa panahon na nasa gitna ng krisis ang Kulé at iba pang pahayagan, ito ay ang lumalakas at sama-samang pagkilos ng mga kabataan na sumuporta sa aming kampanya na kaugnay ng mga problemang ito,” Macalalad said. Afable acknowledged the challenges and said “Alam kong marami pang tanong at agam-agam ang sinomang maging bahagi ng institusyon. Ngunit ang kasagutan ay nasa pagpapatuloy…At sa kabila ng mga samu’t saring hadlang, galit at tangkang pagbusal sa Philippine Collegian, nagpapatuloy lamang ito sa kanyang muling magpahayag para sa interes ng mga mag-aaral at sambayanan.” He also said “Sa ika-95 taon ng Philippine Collegian patuloy nitong pakikinggan at isisiwalat ang naratibo ng mga isinasantabing tinig. Patuloy ring titindig para sa kapayapaang nakabase sa katarungan. Mananatili itong kritikal sa anumang polisiyang hahadlang sa ganap na pagkamit ng ating mga karapatan.” Other members of the Kulé editorial board are: Aldrin Villegas (associate editor), Shiela Ann Abarra (managing editor), Daniel Boone (news editor), John Reczon Calay (online manager), Camille Joyce Lita (business manager), Adrian Kenneth Gutlay (online manager and graphics editor for photography), Guia Abogado (graphics editor for illustration) and Jan Andrei Cobey (graphics editor for layout). USC Chairperson Benjie Allen D. Aquino and outgoing USC Vice Chairperson Beata Regina Carolino. In his message, Tan congratulated the incoming USC and Kulé editorial board and encouraged them to include in their agenda the needs of not only the students but also the staff, faculty and the community. He asked USC and Kulé’s support in organizing “Lakbayan of National Minorities” to be held again at UP Diliman in August. He also urged the USC to come up with a program that will help students from public high schools around the UPD campus like in Krus Na Ligas and Balara to pass the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT). “The idea is to get to the students, habang maaga, magmentor, to help them hurdle the UPCAT and once they are in UP, to continue to be with them throughout their four or five years in college,” the chancellor said. The ceremony was witnessed by Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Jerwin F. Agpaoa and Dr. Ma. Althea T. Enriquez, Office of Student Activities coordinator, who delivered the welcome and closing remarks, respectively, and Dr. Elena E. Pernia, College of Mass Communication dean.

14 UPD students receive scholarship from POSCO Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office May 26, 2017 | UPDate Online > Students(From left, seated) Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Jerwin F. Agpaoa, POSCO-PMPC, Inc. Pres. Hyeng Sik Choi and (left, standing) Mr. Aaron Rim, POSCO-PMPC, Inc. general manager, with the POSCO scholars. (MAY 26) — Fourteen UP Diliman (UPD) students received the Pohang Iron and Steel Company TJ Park Foundation (POSCO-TJF) scholarship for Academic Year (AY) 2016-2017 at the Hall of Wisdom of the Asian/GT Toyota Asian Cultural Center on May 24. Yearly, POSCO grants scholarships to 15 qualified students through its POSCO Asia Fellowship program. Scholars receive monetary support of $700 for one year or $350 per semester. The amount is given in its peso equivalent per semester. Of the 14, three are new recipients and 11 are continuing scholars. Pres. Hyeng Sik Choi Nine of the 14 scholars received their certificates at the ceremony. They were: Sherilyn H. Caringal (BS Business Administration and Accountancy/BS BAA), Jehiel Angelina Mari C. Cea (BS BAA), Vienne Rose G. Del Monte (BA Political Science), Ashley T. Estrella (BS BAA), Erica Camille U. Lau (BS BAA), Iona Joelle G. Nagtalon (BA European Languages), Diego Alberto B. Nepomuceno (BS BAA), Paolo Raphael A. Piedad (BS Industrial Engineering) and Qristin Jeuel F. Regalado (BS Psychology). Completing the list are: Mark Romeo B. Aquino (BS Chemical Engineering), Dean Nicole S. Atienza (BS BAA), Jude Paolo V. Bognot (BS Business Economics), Katreena Mae F. Constantino (BS BAA) and Susanna Ruth A. Gruyal (BS BAA). President Hyeng Sik Choi of POSCO Philippine Manila Processing Center, Inc. (PMPC) and Prof. Jerwin F. Agpaoa, vice chancellor for student affairs, awarded the certificates of scholarship to the students. Agpaoa thanked POSCO, on behalf of Chancellor Michael L. Tan, for their continuous support to the University. “Your act of generosity to give scholarships to our students affirms the close ties that the Philippines and Korea have developed through the years,” he said. Iona Joelle G. Nagtalon He urged the scholars to “…cherish this opportunity. You have been blessed to be part of this long tradition of scholarship giving and I hope that you yourselves become blessings to others, that you cause a lifting effect where you try to help other students who are not similarly situated.” Choi, for his part, congratulated the scholars and said “I strongly believe that POSCO Asia fellows, especially the University of the Philippines fellows, will make the Philippines a better and a strong nation.” The PAF is one of POSCO-TJPF’s core programs that provides students with scholarships and facilitates research activities with the aim of enhancing mutual understanding and collaborative programs among Asian countries. On behalf of their fellow scholars, Lau, Nagtalon and Nepomuceno thanked POSCO. Diego Alberto B. Nepomuceno Lau thanked POSCO three years ago. “This scholarship has allowed me to attend school without having to worry about financial matters and I feel like I’ve made the most out of your investment in me. I’ve grown so much not just as a student but as a person. So, thank you and I hope that there would be a lot more people like you in the world who made an impact in other people’s lives,” she said. Nagtalon, who is a first time recipient of POSCO scholarship, said “I started receiving the benefits of this scholarship last semester and it really helped me and my family fund my education. Though I am grateful for POSCO-TJFP for investing in me and affording me the privileges that I otherwise would not have afforded for myself, I see that there eight scholars here and I know that each one of us is grateful to the foundation for helping us finance our education. But, I hope that all of us remember that we are not here to study only for ourselves. We aren’t here for individualistic purposes, for selfish reasons. Though we want to help ourselves, we should remember also the core values that POSCO-TJPF stands for which are global, social responsibility and the advancement of public and not only private interest.” Nepomuceno, who was a POSCO scholar since  the 1st semester of AY 2015-2016, thanked POSCO for granting him a scholarship especially at a time when his family had financial difficulties when his grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. He said “I applied for various scholarships but then, it’s only POSCO who really was able to help me pursue my interest and grow further as a student. I was able to be more active in my organizations, be part of a competition class and even joint marketing competitions for our college. Up to now, even if my grandfather already passed away, I can really say that POSCO’s impact has never faded and it has helped me become more independent as a person and as a student.” Erica Camille U. Lau To qualify for the POSCO scholarship, applicants must be undergraduate students with a general weighted average of 2.0 or better and must have carried a load of at least 15 units every semester. Students must not be enjoying any other scholarship at the time of the award. Established in 2007, POSCO-TJF has been providing financial assistance to promising students in UP Diliman through their scholarship program for 10 years. POSCO has produced 49 graduates as of the 2nd semester of AY 2015-5016, of whom 45 received Latin honors, comprising eight summa cum laude, 25 magna cum laude and 12 cum laude. Three of the eight POSCO scholars who graduated summa cum laude in 2016 were Athena Charanne R. Presto (College of Social Sciences and Philosophy), Julie Anne A. Francisco (Virata School of Business) and Danilo Lorenzo S. Atanacio (School of Economics). Interested students may apply for the scholarship at the Office of Scholarships and Student Services.

Capping the celebration was Alcala, UP WBT’s team captain, receiving the MVP award, while Ateneo’s Chanelle Lunod was Rookie of the Year. De La Salle University was second runner-up after winning over University of Santo Tomas. Alcala said after their Game 1 loss, which ended their 25-tie winning streak, “I said to myself I will do everything to protect the title. That has been my mindset since that loss. We also believe in each other. We are glad that the team tie worked for us.” The team tie, or the players that will be assigned for the five matches (two singles, two doubles, one single), were, for UP WBT, determined by the coaches, managers and players themselves. Before the deciding Game 3, Coach Melvin Llanes told his team to stay humble, stay focused and most of all, to have the deeper desire to win than their opponent. After the celebration, “we will return back to our training in preparation for next season.” Llanes also hopes they can have international exposures in the future.

Champions at last - University of the Philippines Diliman
Champions at last Bino Gamba - Diliman Information Office May 17, 2022 | UPDate Online > Students It was destiny. In what was dubbed the Battle of Katipunan (Ateneo de Manila University/ADMU Blue Eagles versus UP Fighting Maroons), destiny won over dynasty. After 36 years, the UP Fighting Maroons were hailed the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 84 basketball tournament champions, dethroning the Blue Eagles in overtime, 72-69, in game three of their championship series on May 13 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Season 84 men’s basketball champions. Photo from the UAAP Media Bureau It was a seesaw battle between the two teams with the regulation ending at 59 all, sending the game into extra five minutes.

Diouf, with his impressive performance in the finals averaging 11.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.7 steals, 2 assists, and a block, was named the Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP). Meanwhile, Zavier Lucero and Carl Tamayo were inducted into the “Mythical Five” of the UAAP season 84. Tamayo also bagged the rookie of the year (ROY) award and had the distinction of being the first rookie to be selected as a mythical five member since Jeron Teng of the De La Salle University in 2012. The awarding ceremonies were held before the start of game 2 on May 11. Historic run. The championship is the third for the Fighting Maroons. UP first won the crown in the 1939-1940 season of the league, a title they shared with the Far Eastern University and the University of Santo Tomas (UST). In 1986, the triumvirate of Eric Altamirano, Ronnie Magsanoc, and Benjie Paras, under the tutelage of Joe Lipa, gave UP its second title by defeating the then powerhouse University of the East Red Warriors. Altamirano bagged the Finals MVP award that year. With the institution of the final four format (equivalent to semifinals) in Season 56 (1993-1994), the Fighting Maroons showed some promise by making it in the 1996 and 1997 semifinals. They then failed to advance in the said format from 1998 to 2017, with winless records in 2007, 2010, and 2013. UP showed some glimmer of hope in 2017 when they finished fifth in the team standing with a 6-8 win-loss record and Juan Gomez de Liaño winning the ROY award. The Fighting Maroons had the Cinderella-run in 2018 which brought them back to the final four and eventually dismantling the Adamson University Soaring Falcon’s twice-to-beat advantage. UP was able to arrange a showdown with ADMU in the finals, but had to settle for a runners-up award in that season. In 2019, UP made it again to the final four but eventually lost to UST and settled for a third place. For this season, UP made its landmark win. The celebration.

Creating an inclusive and safe UPD - University of the Philippines Diliman
Creating an inclusive and safe UPD Bino Gamba - Diliman Information Office July 29, 2022 | UPDate Online > Students UP Diliman (UPD) as everyone’s safe space.  It is the intention of UPD to be an inclusive, diverse, nurturing, and safe space that respects the human rights of all its constituents, especially its students.  As such, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (OVCAA) issued a directive that recognizes the inclusion of and affirms transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) students. Memorandum No. OVCAA-MTTP 21-029 recommends the UP Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (UPCWGS) guidelines on affirming TGNC students’ names, pronouns, and titles.  According to the UPCGWS guidelines, TGNC refers to people whose gender identity does not match their sex assigned at birth and those whose gender expression does not match their gender identity, respectively. OVCAA’s poster. Image from the OVCAA website “TGNC people often live by a name (or “lived name”) that affirms their gender identity and/or expression (GIE), and this is usually different from their legal name (or “dead name”). They may also use pronouns and titles that reflect their GIE. However, these aren’t limited to feminine (e.g., she/her, Miss, Ms., Mrs.) and masculine (e.g., he/him, Mr.) pronouns and titles, because many TGNC people use singular they/them pronouns (an English counterpart to the Filipino gender-neutral siya), neo-pronouns, and gender-neutral titles,” the guidelines stated. Guides. The UPCWGS gave three basic guidelines for teachers, students, and other UPD personnel to create a classroom environment that includes and affirms TGNC students, and to encourage them to exercise their rights to express their gender identity and/or expression, without fear of discrimination.  These are: ask for students’ lived name, pronouns, and titles, regardless of their transgender status, use a TGNC student’s lived name, pronouns, and titles and encourage your non-TGNC students to do the same, and model other best practices for affirming TGNC students. Released on March 15, 2021, the OVCAA memo is in compliance with Section 1 of the UP Anti-Sexual Harassment Code (https://up.edu.ph/up-anti-sexual-harassment-code/). This states that “the University values and upholds the dignity of every individual, and guarantees the full respect for human rights of all members of the UP community.” and “the University shall maintain an enabling, gender-fair, safe and healthy learning and working environment for the members of the UP community.”In the pipeline is the recommendation for a transgender-affirmative academic information system like the Computerized Registration System that will recognize usernames and email addresses of both faculty and students based on their lived names, and a system-wide university anti-discrimination code.

Dasig Diliman Information Office August 02, 2022 | UPDate Online > Students Labang Isko: Higit sa Hindi Pagsuko Ni Giland Marie A. Lim, BA Broadcast Communication, summa cum laude 2022 Mensahe ng Kinatawan ng UP Diliman Class of 2022 Lim Guest of Honor and commencement speaker Dr. Caroline S. Hau―whom we thank for her inspiring message, Chairperson of the Board of Regents, Dr. J. Prospero E. De Vera III, members of the Board of Regents, Honorable President Danilo L. Concepcion, UP Diliman Chancellor, Dr. Fidel R. Nemenzo, vice chancellors, directors, deans, other university officials, faculty members, proud parents and guests, our live online audience, and my celebrated fellow graduates, most of whom have weathered through as the first batch of K-12 students, good day. Laban lang!―a common phrase we Filipinos use to stay motivated and hopeful during challenging times. “Laban lang,” sabi ng ating kapwa Pilipino. “Laban lang,” sabi natin sa ating mga sarili. Laban. lang. As college students, we have surely been on both the giving and receiving end of these words at countless points of our UP journey. At noong dumating ang pandemya, mas lalo nating kinailangang lumaban lang sa araw-araw. This has been a period plagued by uncertainties and unprecedented challenges. We have been faced with threats to our mental health, our family income, our future, and even our very lives, to name a few. Sa ganitong kalagayan, napaisip ako: Paano nga ba gumagana itong “Laban lang?” May hiwaga ba ang mga salitang ito at bigla nalang tayong mapupuno ng lakas at mabibigyan ng mga armas upang mapagtagumpayan ang hinaharap na pagsubok? When we look at our own student experience, the harsh truth is that in the face of greater forces, “Laban lang!” won’t get you your units in CRS; it won’t stabilize the internet connection you need to attend your synchronous class; “Laban lang!” won’t make you graduate. For “Laban lang!” to take effect, our intentions must be accompanied by concrete action; and these actions must be directed towards targeting the root causes of the inequities we face. During my stay in UP, I learned from my fellow students just as much as I learned inside the classroom. I found myself in awe of how they turned the powerlessness they felt into a burning desire for change; how they turned “Laban lang!” into “Laban!”—to not just carry on as we were, but to take up courage and actively fight on against the forces that try to render us voiceless. At present, we find ourselves in the midst of the biggest battle against disinformation and historical distortion that our country has ever faced. Ironically, this age of greater connectivity and access to information has allowed for less—or worse, false—information to come our way. It has created a demand for alternate narratives which distort our perception of current—and even past events in our country. In some ways, an environment wherein false information abounds is similar to one wherein no credible information is available. At. All. The danger of this is that when we are robbed of truth, we are also robbed of the ability to make informed decisions; and an informed citizenry is essential to democracy. In instances such as these, we can and must not endure this newfound era of exploitative mal-information that poses a threat to our freedom. Though when even the words and works of our established historical experts are being reduced to mere gossip, when the country’s largest media outlets are being hunted down, when credible news sources are being shunned in favor of fake news, and when the truth is being equated to terrorism, we, as common individuals, must find the courage to speak. Ngunit, sa ganitong pagkakataon, mahirap hikayatin ang ibang tao—o ang ating sarili man lang—na lumaban. Mahirap man, tila imposible, ngunit magagawa natin ito nang sama-sama, because the act of both carrying on and fighting on is impossible to do alone. During my sophomore year, my English 13 professor asked us to write about the importance of collective action. Not having the answers myself, I turned to a trusted upperclassman in search of one. Although he is no longer with us, his words left a lasting impression on me: that we must engage in collective action not for—but with others. For the second time, I had an epiphany; the “Laban lang!” that turned into “Laban!” has now become “Laban tayo!”  Joining Frontliners’ Kitchen, a youth-led COVID-19 and disaster response organization, showed me that the ability na lumaban does not spring from nothing. When Typhoon Ulysses struck last 2020, we scrambled in the dead of night to try to find transportation to bring the lifeboats and vests we had to the flooded communities. We had plans much bigger than our resources as students, but we had each other, and we were adamant in working towards a common goal. My pandemic experiences, as well as my stay in UP, taught me that every fight isn’t just mine, or yours, or theirs—it’s ours. Our collective laban in the pursuit of loftier goals is universal. Our struggles as students are the struggles of our people for a brighter future. With various Filipino sectors—from our underpaid labor force to our overlooked indigenous siblings, from our threatened media workers to our marginalized LGBT QIA + siblings; their multidimensional, intersectional struggles are ours as well. Lim Nandito tayo ngayong mga nagsipagtapos, hindi dahil sa lumaban lang, ngunit dahil lumaban tayo nang sama-sama. Sa pagsasabuhay ng diwa ng Dasig, tayo ay hindi mga iskolar lamang, ngunit mga Iskolar ng Bayan, para sa bayan, kasama ang bayan. Padayon, UP Diliman Class of 2022! Lalaban tayo!

Students were allowed to attend the ceremony in person, strictly observing health and safety protocols. Only key participants and essential staff were allowed to attend with the graduates and their guests (only one guest per graduate).

Misinformation and the pandemic. Every year, UPD invites the students graduating summa cum laude to audition for the right to represent and deliver a message on behalf of the graduating class. This year, Giland Marie A. Lim, a broadcast communication major from the CMC, was chosen. In her message, she emphasized the struggle and perseverance Class 2022 displayed. She outlined some of the various challenges they faced: the transition from K-12, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the contentious political climate that came with a change in government administration. Lim said one of the solutions is found in collective, concrete action “directed towards targeting the root causes of the inequities.” Lim. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO One of these causes is disinformation, where greater connectivity and access to information “has allowed for less—or worse, false—information to come our way. It has created a demand for alternate narratives which distort our perception of current—and even past events in our country,” she said. “When we are robbed of truth, we are also robbed of the ability to make informed decisions; and an informed citizenry is essential to democracy. In instances such as these, we can and must not endure this newfound era of exploitative mal-information that poses a threat to our freedom,” Lim added. The example of collective action she mentioned is her participation in Frontliners’ Kitchen, a youth-led COVID-19 and disaster response organization. “My pandemic experiences, as well as my stay in UP, taught me that every fight isn’t just mine, or yours, or theirs—it’s ours. Our collective ‘laban’ in the pursuit of loftier goals is universal. Our struggles as students are the struggles of our people for a brighter future,” she said.

“Field of dreams” now a reality - University of the Philippines Diliman
“Field of dreams” now a reality Benito V. Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office August 11, 2022 | UPDate Online > Students Even with the sudden downpour, the inauguration of the UP Diliman (UPD) baseball field still pushed through last Aug. 5. Located next to the annex gymnasium of the UPD College of Human Kinetics (CHK), the baseball field took five years to finish so much so that it earned the moniker “field of dreams.” “At long last, mayroon na tayong world-class facility para sa baseball and softball teams,” said UPD Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo. The UP coaching staff and varsity players with (beginning fifth from left) Anthony Dizer, Diaz, Nemenzo, Concepcion, and Cayetano. Also in photo are Ronualdo Dizer and Pagkaliwagan (second and third from right). Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Nemenzo who was a former UP track and field athlete and a UP Integrated School high school baseball alum, added that the baseball field is an inspiration to the UP varsity community. For his part, UP President Danilo L. Concepcion said the baseball field’s construction was a team effort. He proceeded to thank Sen. Julia “Pia” Cayetano, his former student at the UP College of Law, for her contribution. “The construction of this baseball field has indeed been a team effort for many of us … I thank Senator Pia Cayetano for pushing relentlessly through the years for the funding for the construction of this over P106 million baseball field, and other facilities in the UPD Sports Complex,” Concepcion said. Cayetano was the main sponsor in the Senate lobbying for the funding of the UPD Sports Complex. “My time in UP as an athlete defined me. I am such a believer of sports changing lives,” she said. Cayetano was a member of the UP Women’s Volleyball team that won the championship in Season 45 (1982-1983) of the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP). “I started lobbying for funds for the university sports complex in 2012, which was accidentally the year my daughter entered UPD,” she said. Like her, Cayetano’s daughters Nadine and Maxine were student athletes in UPD. The two were members of the UP Women’s Football Team. Cayetano. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Meanwhile, UP Baseball Team coach Anthony Dizer thanked Cayetano and the university officials for their unwavering support. He dedicated the field to Coach Artemio ‘Temiong’ Isidro. Isidro was a former CHK dean and baseball coach who steered the UP Baseball Team to a 5-peat championship in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) from Season 40 (1977-1978) to Season 44 (1981-1982). UP last won the baseball crown in Season 68 (2005-2006). Isidro passed away on Oct. 12, 2021. UP Softball Team coach Ronilon Pagkaliwagan said the field was a dream come true. “Sisikapin namin ang podium finish,” Pagkaliwagan committed to the UP community, as the next UAAP season hopefully begins in October. UP last won the softball crown in Season 70 (2007-2008). Aside from the baseball field, Cayetano, together with Senator Edgardo “Sonny” Angara, was also instrumental in seeking funds for the track and field oval, swimming pool, tennis courts, and football field. Looking forward to other sports, Cayetano suggested that a golf course also be built on campus since “this is a sport we can excel, and we used to have a golf course.” Baseball jerseys and caps were given to Cayetano, Concepcion, and Nemenzo as the CHK community’s tokens of gratitude. The three in turn signed the balls that will be used in ceremonial pitches. The signed balls used in ceremonial pitches can then be mounted, framed and displayed at the CHK. The inauguration guests also witnessed the unveiling of the field marker. UP Assistant Vice President for Public Affairs Jose Wendell P. Capili hosted the event. CHK Dean Francis Carlos B. Diaz, UP System and UPD officials, and the UP baseball and softball teams were also in attendance together with the CHK faculty and students and representatives of the contractor and implementing agency that constructed the baseball field.
