Sibol. Photo by Jerald Caranza, UPDIO The FWA is a yearly tradition organized by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (OVCSA) to welcome the freshmen to the campus, introduce them to administration officials, and treat them to performances from homegrown talents from UP Diliman (UPD). This year, the assembly was held over two sessions—one in the morning and another in the afternoon—following health protocols that required attendees to pre-register, wear masks, and observe physical distancing. The program began with a video montage introducing the university and highlighting several programs and facilities, making special mention of the UPD Sagip K9 unit and UPD’s emotional support animals.

Nemenzo joined the program via Zoom to welcome the freshmen to their upcoming face-to-face classes, the first since 2020. Nemenzo invited the students to explore the environment and soak in campus life at UPD. “Napakaraming makikita, mararanasan at matututunan sa loob ng UP. Huwag niyo itong sayangin. Ang edukasyon ng UP ay isang uri ng edukasyon na hindi nakakulong sa apat na sulok ng classroom. Marami kayong makikilalang iba’t ibang uri ng tao. Marami kayong maririnig na iba’t ibang ideya at paniniwala,” he said. The FWA stage design was specially crafted by John Carlo V. Pagunaling, a faculty member at the Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts of the UPD College of Arts and Letters. The stage design, entitled Sibol, was inspired by ukkil designs of the Lumad and Moro peoples and the works of French visual artist Henri Matisse. “Ang disenyo ng entablado ng UPD Freshie Welcome Assembly 2022 ay hango sa konsepto ng pagsibol bilang representasyon ng mga papasok at pausbong na mga bagong iskolar ng bayan. Mga binhi na uusbong sa tamang panahon na magiging matatag, matapang, magaling at malaya. Mga binhi na aalagaan pero hindi papalakihin sa layaw,” he posted on his Facebook account. Program hosts Jose Monfred Sy and Christine Joy Magpayo—College of Arts and Letters faculty members—also shared stories of their own experiences of student life in UPD. Festivities. The FWA is only one of several major activities for the whole month of September. The first was the Freshmen Orientation Program, held online via Zoom on Sept. 2, during which the freshmen were introduced to UP culture and student services. The OVCSA also launched the 2022 edition of its digital handbook of handy resources, study hacks, the latest Code of Student Conduct, and list of places to eat on campus. The UP Org Fair. Photo by Jerald Caranza, UPDIO Student organizations introduced themselves at the organization and community fair (UP Org Fair), a hybrid event held online and at the Academic Oval from Sept. 5 to 9. The response to the Tara Na’t Makiikot: UFM 2022 Freshie Tour and Silakbay: 2022 UP Diliman Campus Tours, was so overwhelming that even with three straight days of tours on Sept. 5 (for freshmen), 6, and 7 (for other undergraduate students), organizers had to hold a third walking tour on Sept. 5 to accommodate those who were not able to get slots. Other activities set for freshmen and new students are the following: second edition of the Online Freshie Games (Sept. 12-16), leadership training seminars and workshops (Sept. 15-17), and UFM Culminight, a concert featuring student performers as well as professional music acts (Sept. 30).

https://upd.edu.ph/ombudsman-says-give-people-hope/ | Ombudsman says give people hope - University of the Philippines Diliman | Ombudsman says give people hope Mariamme D. Jadloc - Diliman Information Office August 08, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales called on the graduates of the UP College of Law (CL) to give hope to people “when all hope is lost” and not turn the law into an instrument of oppression at the latter’s recognition rites on Jun. 27 at the UP Theater. The Ombudsman, who received an honorary doctor of laws degree, also reminded the Law Class of 2016 to take “to heart the time-honored virtues of industry, perseverance, integrity, civility and loyalty for these will remain constant,” she said. She said the country no longer needs the best leaders for there are many who “become best after engaging themselves in shady compromises and illicit activities.” She reminded the future lawyers that how one uses the knowledge of the law is what makes the difference. “Having a license to practice law is an extraordinarily powerful tool,” she said. “How you act with that license will be your character,” Carpio Morales added. The Ombudsman reminded the graduates that although a UP law diploma has prestige, it is only a tool for opening the door of opportunity and one’s competencies and skills will determine whether one stays in the law practice. Cited for among others, her “years of service to the judiciary unmarred by any accusation of impropriety the magistrate unanimously regarded as incorruptible,” Carpio Morales’s passion for scholastic instructions also made for “a more enlightened administration of justice and study of law.” The fifth to assume the post since its creation in May 1988, Carpio Morales was appointed Ombudsman in July 2011. A UP alumna, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 1964 and Bachelor of Laws in 1968. She joined the Department of Justice in 1971 as Special Assistant to then Justice Secretary Jose Abad Santos. She became Regional Trial Court (RTC) judge in Pili, Camarines Sur in 1983 and in 1986, was appointed RTC Judge in Pasay City. In 1994, then President Fidel V. Ramos appointed her to the Court of Appeals, eventually heading its 7th Division. In 2002, she was elevated to the Supreme Court upon the unanimous endorsement of the members of the Judicial and Bar Council. She is the first woman magistrate to administer the oath of office of a Philippine president. The UP CL had their recognition rites a day after the UP Diliman 105th General Commencement Exercises on Jun. 26 at the UP Amphitheater. According to CL Dean Danilo L. Concepcion, the graduates, 120 in all, were part of the 240 law applicants accepted to the college four years ago. In a related development, Concepcion, in his opening message, said he believes it is time to revisit the country’s legal education system. He relates that because lawyers are very important in the Philippines’ justice delivery system, the time spent in studying law is very crucial. In a study conducted in Ohio, USA, it was proven that legal fees are costly because of the high cost a lawyer spent while studying in law school. The longer a student spends time studying in law school would mean higher legal fees when he practices law. Unlike in other countries where a student can go straight to law school after graduating from high school, a Filipino student has to spend four years in a baccalaureate course before going to law school, which takes up four more years. Adding the years they spend in elementary and high school, a Filipino student dedicates 15 to 17 years of study before earning a law degree. Concepcion said if we add the one year of law review, a law graduate is already 25 years old when he handles his first case and stands in court. Adding the two years of the K-to-12 program, a law student is already 27 or 28 years old before he or she can be a full-fledged lawyer. And as a lawyer ages, his medical needs increases as the time spent for his legal practice decreases. Considering all these, the services of older lawyers are more costly than the services of younger lawyers. A 28-year-old who just finished law school cannot say to a 23-year-old law graduate he has more experience. They are both fresh graduates. Concepcion said “I believe that now is the time to take a serious look at our legal education system and as the premier law school of the nation, the UP College of Law shall be at the forefront of this initiative.” Latest UPD visits culture bearers in Baguio Compete with yourself, not with others UP NSRI ISO certified; De Ungria receives award Using media for informed decisions Noh master returns to UPD |

Pineda - Diliman Information Office August 09, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe Folding fans, portable electric fans, umbrellas and shades became staple paraphernalia at UP Diliman’s (UPD) 105th General Commencement Exercises as good weather, sunshine and sweltering heat bid the Class of 2016 farewell on Jun. 26. Wearing the sablay, the official academic costume of the University, the graduates, together with their families, relatives, friends and other guests, arrived as early as 5:30 a.m. at the University Amphitheater for the rites. Some patiently waited for the ceremony to start while others took the opportunity to take pictures with the sunflowers. The ceremony started at exactly 7 a.m. Thirty summa cum laude led 4,552 graduates from the 27 degree-granting units. Summa cum laude, a Latin phrase meaning “with the greatest honors,” is the University’s highest academic distinction for graduates who earned a weighted average grade (WAG) of 1.20 or better. Summa cum laude. Miguel Ricardo R. Leung, BS Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (MBB), with a WAG of 1.0375, led the top honors. Following Leung was Miguel Raymundo C. Gutierrez, BS Economics (Econ) with a grade of 1.064. The third highest was Danilo Lorenzo S. Atanacio, BS Econ (1.074). Others in the top 10 were: Adrian R. Vidal, BS Electronics and Communications Engineering (1.118); Julia Catherina P. Agoncillo, BA History, 1.122; Ariel Raye V. Rica, BS Chemical Engineering, 1.129; Athena Charanne R.

Completing the roster of summa cum laude were: Daniel O. Young, BS Math, 1.1799; Alexander Atrio L. Lopez, BA Philosophy, 1.1810; Julie Anne A. Francisco, BS Business Administration and Accountancy (BSBAA), 1.182; Maria Luisa C. Pineda, BA Broadcast Communication, 1.182; Jian Kenzo O. Leal, BS MBB, 1.1859; Isaiah Paolo A.

Miyazaki, BS Mechanical Engineering, 1.197. Chancellor Michael L. Tan welcomed the graduates, parents and other guests with a short message. Sunflowers. Tan likened the graduates to the sunflowers. While most sunflowers have already wilted due to constant rain and countless selfies by passersby and photo ops, he said “Yuko na ang mga sunflower, ngunit hindi sila sumusuko. Pinipilit pa ring makatindig at makangiti.” “Watching the sunflowers and their fans, I thought of the expression: “Stand up in the light,” popularized recently by US Justice Secretary Loretta Lynch when she visited Orlando, Florida to comfort the families of those killed in the mass shooting. It is a good phrase, a way of urging people to take courage rather than sulking and complaining in the dark,” Tan said. The Chancellor reminded the graduates that “UP has trained you, to a fault, to be tough and to be assertive, which is fine. But understand, too, that to stand in the light, in your homes, in your communities, in your workplace, you must be compassionate, [and be] as much a source of comfort as you are of strength.” Giving and service. UP President Alfredo E. Pascual was UPD’s commencement speaker. Pascual reminded the graduates that “a life of giving and service provides meaning and purpose to our existence.” “Making a life of service may not be as happy. You may become overworked, underpaid and even unappreciated. People may and often will forget to thank you along the way. Yet, for people who have dedicated their lives to the Filipino people, fulfillment is not in the happy prospects of money, fame or power. More than happiness then, service is about attaining a sense of meaning and purpose. At the end of the day, which makes us more satisfied?” Pascual said. This is the last year of his term as the UP System’s top official. A finance and management expert, President Pascual is the 20th president of the University, a post he assumed in February 2011. He also posed a challenge to the graduates: “Our country is still confronted with challenges so complex that it needs the best and brightest minds we can muster from across the nation. Finding solutions is our extraordinary task in UP and your challenge as UP graduates.” Oblation. Speaking on behalf of the graduating class was Lopez, a BA Philosophy graduate from the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP). He also has a BS Basic Medical Sciences degree from UP Manila. He said the Oblation statue can represent the Iskolar ng Bayan, “The rocks are like the differently-shaped disciplines that make up UP. Each discipline, whether it be from the sciences or humanities, has a different character. The combination of these differences allows humans to soar.” He added that being inspired is a great motivation to do one’s best, “When we are inspired, we do our best work. When we do our best work, we can offer the best service to our countrymen, which is after all, what Oble is known to symbolize.” Lopez also compared his fellow graduates to Diwata, the Philippines’ first microsatellite launched to space. “We, the graduates, have the potential to soar through the stratosphere. From the rocks of Oble on the ground to the cosmic domain of Diwata, our family, friends, university officials and professors have shaped us to take flight. Let us thank them by soaring to the sky. Pumailanlang na tayo. Mabuhay ang mga bagong diwata!” The Class of 2016. The three colleges with the most number of summa cum laude are CSSP and College of Engineering (CoE) with six each. These were followed by the College of Science and the School of Economics with five each and the College of Arts and Letters and the Virata School of Business with two each. Meanwhile, the colleges of Education, Fine Arts and Mass Communication and the School of Statistics each had one summa cum laude. In addition to the top honors, the graduating class had 325 magna cum laude and 936 cum laude. Magna cum laude graduates have a WAG of up to 1.45 while cum laude up to 1.75. Of the total graduates, 3,580 received their undergraduate degrees and 972 their graduate degrees, of which 70 were conferred their doctoral degrees. COE had the highest number of graduates at 839 (746 undergraduates/UG, 93 graduates/G). It also had the highest number of graduates with Latin honors at 200. Meanwhile, CSSP came second with 184 Latin honors and 373 graduates (304 UG, 69 G), and VSB, third with 163 Latin honors from a total of 351 graduates (207 UG, 144 G). VSB however, has the highest percentage of graduates with Latin honors at 78.74 percent. Like an unwritten tradition, towards the end of the program, student activists raised their fists and banners and aired their protests against the K-to-12 program, tuition fee hike, Socialized Tuition System, commercialization of education and other political and social issues. The graduation ceremonies ended barely an hour before 12 nn. Undaunted by the scorching heat, the graduates and their loved ones proceeded to the Oblation Plaza and University Avenue to take selfies with the sunflowers. Others went for a groufie with friends. Their backdrop? The canopy on the stage designed by popular sculptor and UPD alumnus Toym Imao which depict the graduation theme “Pumailanlang” and the banner posted at the Quezon Hall Building with the message “Paglingkuran ang Sambayanan.” Latest UPD visits culture bearers in Baguio Compete with yourself, not with others UP NSRI ISO certified; De Ungria receives award Using media for informed decisions Noh master returns to UPD |

https://upd.edu.ph/gitara-ni-juan-making-quality-guitars-for-pinoys/ | Gitara ni Juan: Making quality guitars for Pinoys - University of the Philippines Diliman | Gitara ni Juan: Making quality guitars for Pinoys Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office August 30, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe A team of faculty members, engineers and musicians from UP Diliman combined art, engineering and science to create a quality classical guitar for Juan Dela Cruz and which may hopefully revive the declining industry of guitar-making in the Philippines. Gitara ni Juan (GnJ) project. The UP College of Music (CMu), in collaboration with the College of Engineering Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (COE-EEEI) started the 18-month project “Gitara ni Juan: Development of prototype design and standardization of the guitar-making process for quality classical guitars using select Philippine woods,” in December 2014 to “establish a standard for the entry-level classical guitar-making process in the country.” With more than 3,000 species of Philippine woods, the GnJ project also sought to explore and promote the use of locally available woods as alternatives “by incorporating them into guitar prototypes.” According to the project team, “most high-quality guitars available in the market use imported solid woods such as spruce, cedar, or rosewood.” The project was funded by Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCIEERD). Prof. Nathan Manimtim, current CMu Department of Strings and Chamber Music chair, is the project leader and the two other proponents are COE instructors Crisron Rudolf Lucas of EEEI and Jon Dewitt Dalisay of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DME). Other members of the team are researchers Engr. Ivan Nikolai Reyes (EEEI), Adel Isabelle Sta. Maria (DME) and Bernice Elaine Go (CMu); and administrative personnel Eva Cadiz, Mylene Untalan and Virgilio Liboon. The project consultants are CMu dean Dr. Jose Buenconsejo, EEEI professors Dr. Rhandley Cajote and Dr. Franz De Leon; Engr. Josephine Carandang and forester Robert Natividad of DOST Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI), Master Luthier Adolfo Timuat, a Filipino-Spanish guitar maker, and luthier Kently Morales, a guitar maker from Pampanga. In an interview with UPDate, Manimtim said it was the first time that the college collaborated with two COE departments and handled a project funded by the DOST-PCIEERD. He said the project was a result of the talks in 2013 between CMu Dean Buenconsejo and Dr. Rowena Guevara, DOST Undersecretary and former COE dean, about a multidisciplinary project on instrument making. The making of Gitara ni Juan. With a budget of almost P5 million, the team visited guitar making sites in the Philippines for the first phase of the project and met most of the luthiers (stringed instrument makers). Lucas, who is an expert in digital signal processing, said the team worked on finding the inconsistent qualities in locally-made entry-level guitars and plans to recommend to the backyard luthiers the standard process of and the use of local woods in making guitars. An entry-level guitar is a beginner or student-level guitar. A recital-level guitar is mostly used by those studying in music institutions while concert-level guitars are used by professional guitarists. Manimtim, on the other hand, said the use of spruce and rose wood for quality guitars are quite expensive “Kaya ang nangyari doon sa local makers natin, gumagamit sila ng plywood at saka ng ibang mga mumurahing wood para makagawa ng gitara. Ang nangyayari, nasa-sacrifice iyong quality.” He said the use of local woods in making instruments was based on the previous research of Carandang in the late ‘80s. “May gina-wang application ng research si Carandang from FPRDI noong late ‘80s. Gumawa talaga sila ng guitar using those local woods na tinest din dito sa CMu. Iyun ang simula ng research na ganito,” he said. During the team’s data gathering in Dumaguete City, they met William and his brother Jayson Alama and requested them to be the official project luthiers. William is a 27-year-old guitar maker from Dauin, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental. He learned the skill of making instruments from his late grandfather who was a known luthier in their province. When better-built imported guitars became a popular choice among Filipino musicians, the market for Philippine-made guitars considerably declined, forcing most guitar makers to shift to more sustainable jobs in order to survive. Through the help of his brother, William created the 12 prototype guitars based on the “recipe” given by the team. Dalisay, who teaches mechanical engineering subjects at the COE, said these prototypes were made from different combinations of wood. He said there are two general classifications of wood used in guitar parts: soft and hard. Dalisay said specific woods were used for the soft and hard wood parts of the prototype guitars. The team also replicated the prototypes to test the variability between two guitars with the same combination of wood. “All the other things, iyung geometry, manufacturing, of course, pare-parehas na between the guitars. Iyung naging main purpose, iyung main na inaral doon sa gitara ay kung ano iyung combination ng wood na, let’s say, pinakamaganda in terms of sound quality, playability, intonation, etc.,” Dalisay said. Meanwhile, Manimtim said the team tested the prototype guitars qualitatively and quantitatively. “Iyung qualitative (testing), sa aming mga musician gaya ng listening at playing tests. Iyung quantitative tests naman ay ginawa ng mga engineer tulad ng paggamit ng MIRtoolbox, Chladni at accelerometer tests, finite element analysis (FEA), at iba pa,” he said. The team also explored many methodologies throughout the course of the project; in particular, they used X-ray on the musical instruments with the help of doctors at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute. The team said “Though it is already an established methodology abroad, it is the first time that it was intensively applied in the Philippines.” The team said “This project also opened up a new approach in signal analysis done in UP Diliman, where subjective evaluations from human sound perception tests are linked to quantifiable audio features and properties which are then linked to material properties and modal vibration models.” At the GnJ’s official launch at the CMu Mini Hall on May 12, one of the prototype entry-level guitars was played by Prof. Lester Demetillo, an esteemed classic guitarist in the Philippines. Manimtim said “Iyung guitar, lumampas sa level na kailangan lang or sa aming proposal na entry level. Umabot siya sa recital level or college student guitar sabi ni Prof. Demetillo.” Updates on the project. This year, the project is technically finished and the team is currently preparing its final output. Lucas said the next step is to make a compendium (manual). “Iyung goal ng project is standardization at para makarating ito sa mga target namin na benefactors, siyempre kailangan namin ng compendium. Ang next challenge ay kung paano natin ipapasunod ang compendium sa mga luthier, dahil may mga kanya-kanyang trade secret sila. Tapos ngayon, since after years of making guitars, paano sila susunod sa bagong standard which is backed up with science and engineering?” he added. According to Manimtim, the team is planning to propose a project that will upgrade the prototype entry-level guitars into recital or concert-level guitars. Manimtim also said UP allocated funds to CMu for the construction of a new building that will be “designated as an instrument making room. I think the dean is also planning to have this program. Siguro magsisimula sa extension program na we will be offering this instrument making non-credit courses. Baka tayo (ang UP Diliman) ang mauna. Sana.” Reviving guitar-making in the Philippines. Manimtim said “Gusto naming tulungan ang guitar makers natin. During our trips, nakita namin kung gaano kagaling ang mga kababayan natin. Pero sayang iyung craftsmanship na iyon kung hindi natin matuturuan kung papaano gagawing tama iyung gitara.” From the data gathered, the team also discovered that most guitar makers in the country already shifted to another job. Manimtim said “May makers na nangisda na at nagtatrabaho na bilang waiter. Umalis sila sa paggawa ng gitara kasi wala ng masyadong bumibili na kababayan natin ng gawa nila. Sa mga malalaking malls na aming binisita sa Metro Manila at mga probinsiya upang tingnan ang mga gitara sa mga music store, halos wala kaming napansin na naka-display o itinitindang gawang lokal na gitara, nakakalungkot kasi puro imported na.” Through the GnJ project, the team members are hoping to help local luthiers like William to revive the industry and produce high quality guitars at par with its foreign counterparts. Gitara ni Juan was showcased at DOST’s National Science and Technology week from Jul. 24-28, 2015 and Jul. 25-28, 2016 at the SMX Convention Center, Pasay City and Bicutan Science Community, DOST Complex, Bicutan, Taguig City, respectively. It was also presented at the DOST-PCIEERD’s 6th anniversary in Clark, Pampanga on Jun. 29 where four of the 12 prototypes were presented and played during the event. The team also conducted a “Guitar Making Clinic” attended by guitar makers from Pampanga, Cebu, Dumaguete and Dipolog.—with photos from the GnJ project team Photo caption: (Top to bottom) Research map of Gitara ni Juan (GnJ); William Alama, luthier from Dumaguete; Prof. Lester Demetillo (left) with GnJ project leader Prof. Nathan Neil Manimtim; and the GnJ project team with Engr.

https://upd.edu.ph/constantino-remembered/ | Constantino remembered - University of the Philippines Diliman | Constantino remembered Anna Regidor - Diliman Information Office August 30, 2016 | UPDate Online > AcademeConstantino The Department of Linguistics (DL) of the UP Diliman (UPD) College of Social Sciences and Philosophy celebrated the life and work of Ernesto Constantino, avid folklorist and a pioneering figure in Philippine linguistics last Aug. 25 with “Paglingon,” a lecture series held at the Bulwagan ng Dangal. Constantino served the university for 36 years beginning in 1959 as an Assistant Professor of Linguistics until his retirement as University Professor in 1995. The academician. He worked with the 1971 and 1986 Constitutional Commissions, during which he contributed significantly to the adoption and development of the Filipino national language as part of the pool of experts consulted. The 1986 Constitutional Commission eventually adopted Filipino as the national language. Constantino was chairman of the Departamento ng Filipino at Panitikan ng Pilipinas (DFPP) and DL from 1969 to 1972. “Paglingon” featured guest speakers who worked for or with Constantino in UPD like former student Dr. Rosario Torres-Yu of the DFPP, former research assistant Dr. Viveca Hernandez of the DL, fellow folklorist Prof. Melecio C. Fabros III of the DFPP and former linguistics professor Dr. Anicia Del Corro. Torres-Yu talked about her various interactions with Constantino, vividly recalling their first interaction when she was student assistant at the department. It was also him who invited then the newly graduated Torres-Yu and Prof. Lilia Antonio to join the University in 1971. Hernandez discussed three of Constantino’s researches that became landmarks in Philippine linguistics: his unpublished dissertation on the grammar of a dialect of Ilokano in 1959, “The sentence patterns of twenty-six Philippine Languages,” published in 1965 in the journal Lingua and “The deep structures of the Philippine Languages” published in 1972 in Langues et Techniques, Nature et Societ. The folklorist. Constantino co-founded the University of the Philippines Folklorists, Inc. and accumulated a good amount of Philippine folklore materials during his career. It was in this spirit that Fabros presented his lecture “Hidilyn F. Diaz: Sulyap sa isang epiko at iba pang poklor,” in which he talked about the Olympic silver medalist, likening her story to that of an epic hero’s journey. Del Corro’s lecture “Heterogenous language in Bible translation: A sequel, a tribute,” presented her work with the Philippine Bible Society using heterogeneous language. In heterogeneous languages such as Taglish, words and elements from the source languages remain distinct and recognizable while still being used together in writing and conversation. She attributes her preference for using heterogeneous language for translation to Constantino’s influence. In closing, Prof. Farah Cunanan of the DL commended Constantino’s scholarship, citing his tenacity and perseverance in gathering data despite living in an age without the benefits of very mobile technology. Constantino was born on Aug. 25, 1930 in Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija. He earned a degree in AB English (cum laude) from UP in 1953 before finishing his PhD in Linguistics from Indiana University in 1959. He passed away on Jun. 21.

The UCC was established on Sept. 15, 1966—19 years before UP Diliman was formally established—to provide high-speed computer services for the use of the University faculty, administration and studentry in academic research, administration and instruction. It became operational in April 1968 with Prof. José Maria de Castro as its first director. The Center, now headed by Dr. Manuel C. Ramos, currently has 17 employees divided between the administrative unit and the network systems and operation unit. It was transferred from the UP System to UPD in 2001. Some of its services are the maintenance and expansion of campus backbone networking through the Diliman Network (DilNet) Helpdesk; DilNet account creation and maintenance; providing high-speed local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) services to UPD units; providing web and email hosting services; hosting UPD’s servers; and developing in-house information systems such as the UPD Webmail, the University Time Service and the UPD Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Directory. Past and present employees, directors as well as other stakeholders were invited to the event to celebrate with the current staff and student assistants, including former UCC Director Luis Alarilla. On display was a timeline and photo exhibit showing the development of the UCC throughout the years, consisting of old photos of past employees and samples of the various equipment used. There was a 2,400-foot roll of magnetic tape that holds 140 megabytes of information which the Center used in the 1980s to manage UPD’s data needs. One of the milestones was in 2011 when the UCC rolled out full Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) throughout the campus — one of the first in the Philippines. According to non-government organization The Internet Society, “IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol (IP) address standard intended to supplement and eventually replace IPv4, the protocol most Internet services use today.” Both UP President Alfredo E. Pascual and UP Diliman Chancellor Michael L. Tan congratulated the staff for their years of service, with Tan urging the UCC staff to look for new and innovative ways of using technology in teaching. “After all is said and done about the wonders of technology, I hope we will not forget that computers and IT, their work comes in bringing people together. It’s not just about data, it’s about people being able to work together. Some of the programs we hope to develop in the very near future will involve making the technologies more accessible to our students, faculty and staff,” he said. The night also featured performances by the University of the Philippines String Chamber Orchestra.

https://upd.edu.ph/putting-premium-to-extension-programs/ | Putting premium to extension programs - University of the Philippines Diliman | Putting premium to extension programs Bino Gamba - Diliman Information Office June 10, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe The Geography Field School (GFS) program of the Department of Geography, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, and the KaSaMa Teachers Online Community of the National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development (NISMED) were the awardees of the first Parangal Para sa Programang Pang-Ektensiyon. Held on May 17 at the Malcolm Auditorium, College of Law, the award is meant to recognize the importance of extension programs in UPD and is conferred to programs with significant contribution to the achievement of the vision/mission of the unit and the University. According to UPD Vice Chancellor for Research and Development Fidel R. Nemenzo, the award is part of UPD’s effort of putting in place procedures and mechanisms that aim to institutionalize extension work as a core function of the University. “Instruction, research and extension are the three important and complementary mandates of UP,” Nemenzo said. UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan said, “We are giving recognition of extension works or projects that look long-term and/or those programs helping people help themselves.” The award has two categories: extension programs for degree-granting units and extension programs for non degree-granting units. GFS, the awardee for the degree-granting units category, is a course-based extension program offered by the Department of Geography every mid-year term. The students undertake rigorous procedures for data (geophysical, socioeconomic, demographic, infrastructure and institutional) collection, consolidation, validation, analysis and data abstraction to ensure the most effective delivery of important information. Comprehensive sets of data are then utilized by policy and decision-makers for local development planning. The Department of Geography has collaborated with local government units, people’s organizations, academic and research institutions, non-government organizations and community members towards the enhancement of their capacities to make informed decisions through research, technical assistance and utilization of geographic information resources and tools such as the Geographic Information System. The course supports the development planning process at the provincial, municipal and community levels. GFS has assisted more than 40 barangays, municipalities and cities all over the Philippines. Over the past three years, the GFS was conducted in the following areas; Ligao, Albay; Candelaria, Quezon; Pagudpod and Adams, Ilocos Norte; Bokod, Benguet; Sibalom, Antique; and Basud and Paracale, Camarines Norte.

https://upd.edu.ph/a-commitment-to-nation-building/ | A commitment to nation building* - University of the Philippines Diliman | A commitment to nation building* Alfredo E. Pascual - Diliman Information Office June 30, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe Good morning! With the sunflowers still abloom and the rain on hold until we finish the commencement exercises, I can say that the morning has broken, together with our hopes and gladness. Congratulations to the UP Diliman Class of 2016! I’am sure most of you woke up very early today, while others failed to catch some sleep because of excitement. Never mind, we know the trials you went through and this is your shining moment! We feel your joy and optimism. And we share your pride in your success. You are yet so young in years, but already so accomplished. So ready you are to embrace the future. You have grown in knowledge and fortitude. You have been molded and transformed into sterner stuff. Through the challenging years, you have learned to live the life of a scholar—a joyful lover of learning—in UP Diliman, our beloved Alma Mater, surrounded by the inspiring beauty of the majestic acacia trees lining our Academic Oval in the widest expanse of verdant greenery in the whole of Metro Manila! Indeed, dear graduates, this is your day of recognition and celebration! We honor you and your parents, grandparents, siblings, uncles and aunts, guardians, teachers, mentors, and benefactors, together with our university administrators and staff—all who collectively contributed to your Nature and Nurture. They constitute your extended family who helped you become who you are today. As we bid you go forth, here are some thoughts—my pabaon for you. You make a living by what you get, but you make a life by what you give. This is a popular quote of unknown origin but commonly attributed to Sir Winston Churchill. To me, its message is that life is more than just working for a living, and that a life of giving and service provides meaning and purpose to our existence. From this notion of life logically flows this year’s commencement theme, Pumailanlang, paglingkuran ang bayan! You graduates have reached another important milestone in your life, a point at which you choose where you go next and which path to follow. The choice, for sure, is not as easy as solving for x in a Math class. Sometimes that is hard, too. But the problems you will face from now on demand more than just intellect. You will need a strong sense of values, a good level of maturity and a different kind of wisdom. In comparison, your earlier decision to study in UP and take your studies seriously might appear now to be a no-brainer. Around you, graduates, are people who have given a lot to bring you to this morning’s ceremonies—your parents, your mentors, your friends. These are people you know and can thank individually. But you also have faceless supporters: the multitudes of taxpaying Filipinos who have contributed collectively to your education in UP—the very reason you are called Iskolar ng Bayan. How do you thank these benefactors—the Filipino people? Making a living with excellence and honor. Making a living is something everyone needs to do, whether it is to help uplift the economic condition of your family, to pay your own bills and purchases, to prove your mettle to your elders and peers, or simply to affirm your status as a productive member of society. That is why, by all means, make a living and earn your keep. Use everything you learned in the University to do your work well and eventually excel in your endeavor. Being the best in what you do is a great tribute you can offer to UP and to our nation and people. It does not matter whether you are a corporate employee, a professional practitioner, a striving artist, an academic, a social worker or an entrepreneur. As you do better in what you are doing to make a living, get the accolades, the awards, the praises. Any of these is a mark of what is conventionally called achievement, the epitome of excellence. But in your pursuit of excellence, do not overlook honor. Honor determines the value of excellent work. Being ethical in your professional dealings, and moral in your personal interactions, is the honorable way of living that I hope you learned in the University and will live by in the real world. I know it is hard to be honorable amidst the temptations of fast money and instant fame. But holding yourself up to high standards of behavior when you pursue excellence is what builds your integrity. This word, integrity, comes from the Latin word ‘integer’, meaning intact or whole. With no exception, honor is in tandem with UP’s tradition of excellence. Dangal at husay, as we say in Filipino—they go hand in hand. Both, together, will make you whole and define your integrity. You have integrity only when your sterling façade is a true reflection of your inner core. Staying socially connected. Perhaps you will, indeed, make a living with excellence and honor. But will you be content with just that? You need to connect. Connect with your boss, workmates, peers and clients. More importantly, connect with our people. That is because you studied in UP not to become this nation’s privileged intellectual elite—but this nation’s hope. VC Pacheco, Chancellor Tan and Pres. Pascual award a medal to a PhD graduate. Making a life of giving and service. In my investiture as UP President in 2011, I proclaimed: We in UP must succeed not because we have a reputation to keep but because we have a country to serve. I’m sharing this imperative again today because we must keep returning to such kind of mindset—a mindset that makes your UP education extraordinary. Placing the country above self is what makes you extraordinary. You are called to soar, Pumailanlang, because you are now equipped with what it takes to advance yourselves in any endeavor you choose to pursue. By soaring, you place yourselves in a better position to serve our nation (paglingkuran ang bayan). So I hope that as you make a living, you will also consider service as your investment in what this nation can be. I hope you will commit to a life of giving and service. It is a commitment to a better nation and a better world for everyone to live in. This may not come instantly for many of you, because of the immediate need to make a living. But as you make a living, endeavor as well to better yourselves and your capabilities. Hone your skills and expertise. Build up a career and work towards financial sufficiency. So when you are ready to make a life of service someday, you will have more to give. I am sure most of you here would describe today’s ceremony as a moment of happiness. And more moments like this—such as getting your academic degrees, getting hired, winning a contest, making breakthroughs—will make you even happier. Notice though, that most of these moments of happiness are moments when you get something: your diploma, your first salary, your first car, or even your first love. It’s about getting, taking, having. That’s okay. After all, you deserve to get the things that you have worked hard for. Making a life of service may not be as happy. You may become overworked, underpaid, and even unappreciated. People may, and often will, forget to thank you along the way. Yet for people who have dedicated their lives to the Filipino people, fulfillment is not in the happy prospects of money, fame or power. More than happiness then, service is about attaining a sense of meaning and purpose. At the end of the day, which makes us more satisfied? You have, in fact, already given a lot by studying well and preparing yourselves to become competent graduates of UP. My preference, though, is for you to make a longer-term plan for a life of giving and service—not just immediately after graduation but more so in the future when you are better able, more capable, and less burdened by the day-to-day concerns of making a living. Of the thousands who aspire to enter UP year after year, less than a fifth make it. The few who make it are given a world-class education by excellent teachers, backed by resources that are not accessible to many schools in the country. The nation is investing in UP so that it can deliver on its mandate of producing competent and responsible leaders. We take our mandate seriously. This is a responsibility we must bear as the country’s lone national university—our UP: Shaping Minds that Shape the Nation. Investing in human capital development. Our country is still confronted with challenges so complex that it needs the best and brightest minds we can muster. Finding solutions is our task in UP, and your challenge as UP graduates. At this point, I would like to call on our UP graduates who are prepared to invest more time in developing their capability to be of greater service to our country and people. I encourage you to join the academe and pursue postgraduate studies here or abroad. The country needs to massively develop its human or knowledge capital, which is the key to the technological innovation needed to achieve and sustain inclusive growth that reduces inequality and poverty. Higher level education and training will enable you to create new knowledge, innovate products and processes, and improve productivity. Technology innovation supports the manufacturing sector, which generates quality jobs. Scientific and engineering research is needed not just in manufacturing, but also in agriculture, health, transport and communications, and other services sectors which provide our people their basic needs. And because an interdisciplinary approach is important in setting the path to growth and development, the promotion of science and technology should be closely integrated with the social sciences, the arts and the humanities to ensure the holistic development of the Filipino society. If you become a well-trained professor in the academe, you can contribute by doing research and development to find solutions to our country’s most persistent problems, and by performing public service to government, industry and society as a whole. Most importantly, you can contribute to educating our youth, to create generations of Filipinos who will be better than we are now. You can mentor, as you have been mentored. In the academe, you will enjoy the best of both worlds: you will make a living as you make a life of giving and service. I am not saying UP graduates have the monopoly of knowledge and ability. Still, you are the ones especially expected to take leadership in shaping the nation. Always remember, you are from the University of the Philippines. You carry the name of our nation in your degree wherever life takes you, however you choose to make a living or make a life. Cherishing your UP heritage—your UP “DNA.” I advise you to always think back to what you cherished most about your UP education—your UP heritage, your UP “DNA”. Aside from your specialized education (your major), it was general education or GE which shaped your character. From GE, you developed self-confidence and learned to be less silent and shy. You learned to use language to express yourselves and communicate better. From GE, you learned to think on the “high ground”—philosophically, independently, integratively, creatively, “out of the box”. You so learned by imbibing many of the greatest works of all time in the arts, music, literature, and the humanities, in social and political thought and philosophy; works of artists and writers both from the West and the East, including those of our own national hero Jose Rizal. You experienced a broadening, heightening and deepening of your life’s perceptions, and a quickening of your life’s decisions and actions. I am sure GE created in you what we call an enriched interior life of the mind and of the heart—your interior being, your valued, treasured internal space and time. Continue to ponder the unsolved mysteries, the unanswered questions, of your existence, such as “Who is responsible for the suffering of the innocents?” or “Who is responsible for the earth?” Continue to spend quiet time alone, for yourself, by yourself, to reflect on the meaning and purpose of your life. So that your decisions—the choices you make—are drawn from within you, and driven by inner conviction and commitment. We know that every UP student, kindled by idealism, has at one time or another joined activist discourses on burning issues concerning the University and the country. Today, I exhort you to reassess the kind of activism you will pursue going forward, now that you have gained skills in logical and evidence-based argumentation, now that you possess greater analytical and integrative capabilities. Do engage in what I call constructive activism, the highest form being progressive volunteerism. Beyond pointing out and complaining about our problems, volunteer to propose creative, innovative solutions, and take the initiative to implement them. Be a builder of this nation. Drawing inspiration from Jose Rizal. More than a hundred years ago, Jose Rizal wrote in El Filibusterismo, through the character of Padre Florentino, a question that I hope we can confidently answer today: “Where are the youth who will consecrate their golden hours, their illusions, and their enthusiasm to the welfare of their native land?” Bring to mind the image of our greatest role model, our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, who is our quintessential philosophical GE or generalist man, but who was also a specialist—a social treatise writer, a novelist, poet, polyglot (master of many languages), a sculptor and painter, an opthalmologist and a self-taught engineer. Thus, our model of an interdisciplinary person. Rizal was a learned Filipino who championed education as the single, most important transformer of society. But most of all, Rizal was a man of honor. He was an unconventional, gentle, subtle, soft-spoken leader whose lasting legacy originated from his scholarly life and works, the power of his mind and the power of his pen. He was a hero who devoted his short life to the greater, higher, longer-term good of his country, until the very moment of his death. How do we live and give like Rizal? We may not each be a genius like Rizal—then again maybe you are but just don’t know it yet—but by working together, we may collectively become a composite Rizal. Deciding on the path to follow. In the crossroad you are now, any number of you may decide to follow any of the following paths: Number 1. Be an academic; continue on to your PhD studies; aim to be a faculty member of UP or another higher education institution; contribute new knowledge through innovation and creativity; be a teacher, a mentor, a nonbiological parent of limitless number of children, to generation after generation of students, semester-in and semester-out; instill in them honor and excellence in the service of the Filipino people; create that ripple or multiplier effect in higher education that our country direly needs. Number 2: Join industry and business as an employee, as an entrepreneur, as a professional; contribute to private good, contribute to job creation and inclusive growth; develop high-value knowledge-based Filipino products and services; continue to improve your competencies and skills; pursue a professional masters degree, take regular training courses; and be the UP-trained social conscience and transformer of the corporate world, leading it to commit to social engagement and responsibility. Number 3: Be an NGO advocate; use knowledge-based interventions and communications to improve the quality and span of human life; hold as paramount the conservation and sustainability of our environment side by side with human progress. And Number 4: Join the rank-and-file of government; rise up through the echelons of public governance; and uphold in government the standards we have set for UP. Implement development programs at every level in cooperation with the academe, the private sector and the civil society. Empower government offices with knowledge and systems. And, of course, keep in mind that to do even better in these endeavors, you also need to pursue postgraduate studies. A commitment to nation building. I fervently believe, ladies and gentlemen, that if our UP graduates pursue any of these or other noble paths and if our youth live their lives with integrity and with a sense of social responsibility, we will succeed in building our nation. Tinatawagan ko kayo, mga Iskolar ng Bayan: may Rizal’s call be your commitment to the nation. No, let Rizal’s call be our joint commitment to the nation as One UP. Maraming salamat po. Padayon, UP!

Thomson Reuters, a worldwide leading source of news and information for professional markets, said, “The number of recipients in each subject category is determined by the square root of the number of eligible winners in each category rounded down…The award recipients are determined by first considering the number of top papers the author has written. In case of a tie, Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI) is used as a tiebreaker.” CNCI is calculated by dividing the actual count of citing items by the expected citation rate for documents with the same document type, year of publication and subject area. The Philippines Promising Star Awards was presented in conjunction with the CHED Research and Publication (REPUBLICA) 2016 Awarding Ceremony.

Jadloc - Diliman Information Office July 19, 2022 | UPDate Online > Academe The European Union (EU), the European integration, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict were among the topics at the first face-to-face forum the UP Diliman (UPD) Department of Political Science (DPolSci) hosted since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Entitled European Values & Strategic Interests, it featured guest speaker Nicolas Tenzer, an academic and a senior French civil servant. (From left) Nemenzo, Tenzer, Boccoz, Šedivá, and Gloria. Photo by Herby Jireh Esmeralda Tenzer spoke on European integration and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which according to DPolSci, are a “process based on shared values” and a “defining test for EU as a strategic stakeholder,” respectively. A former adviser to the French Minister of Economy and Finance, Tenzer’s work focuses on political risk analysis, European issues, Russia and Ukraine, disinformation warfare, the Middle East, US foreign policy, human rights, and corruption. Tenzer was an investigator at the Court of Auditors and served as head of a special mission on international issues for the French government. He has led several missions for international organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Algeria, Ukraine, Montenegro, Egypt, Serbia, Haiti, Morocco, and Jordan. Meanwhile, UPD Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo said Europe, the European integration, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict are important topics of study because, among others, the University has an undergraduate program in political science and a graduate program in international affairs, and because of the interconnected histories of economies of Europe and the Philippines. “Developments in Europe are key events that we should observe because these are important in understanding trends and directions in global affairs. What happens in Europe, of course, has ramifications in our part of the world for international security and economy,” he said. Event poster. Image from DPolSci Nemenzo mentioned that the Philippines is also seeking lessons from the EU on integration as the country is also involved in a similar endeavor, the Asean Economic Community (AEC). Koichi Ishikawa, in his research article, The Asean Economic Community and the Asean economic integration, mentioned that AEC “is an economic integration whose goals are free movement of goods, services, investment, and skilled workers, and freer movement of capital.” Ishikawa is a special research fellow at the Institute of Asian Studies of the Asia University in Tokyo, Japan. “We know that integration is a complex process because alongside shared values and interests are differences in histories and contexts,” Nemenzo said. “This is why we are also interested in the process, problems, and prospects of [the European] integration,” he added. Aside from Nemenzo, ambassadors Michèle Boccoz of France and Jana Šedivá of the Czech Republic also gave opening remarks. The forum held on July 1 was moderated by Enrico V. Gloria, a professor at DPolSci. The event was organized by the UPD Office of the Chancellor, DPolSci, and the embassies of France and the Czech Republic.

Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Computational Science Research Center director Johnrob Bantang, PhD said the program is supported by the UP Data Commons. This is a computing facility that includes several units of high-performance computing (HPC) machines that can be utilized for research such as HPC tasks, programming applications/software, systems and web application development and deployment, data repositories and database systems development, and many others. Bantang is chair of the graduate committee of the CS Data Science Program. He added that the new program is implemented independently by the CS, UPD College of Engineering, and the UPD School of Statistics, but has a coordinating data science graduate committee to maximize the many opportunities available in the University such as access to domain experts in UP. “There is only one program of the University implemented by the three colleges. To ensure a uniform implementation, the Data Science Graduate Committee coordinates these units in terms of the policies and requirements of the program,” said Bantang. The PhD in data science has three program track options: option 1 is straight PhD, option 2 is regular PhD, and option 3 is PhD by research. Straight PhD track is intended for students with a bachelor’s degree in sciences, engineering, or in other fields relevant to data science. Those admitted to this track are required to take graduate courses in mathematical, computational, and statistical methods. These courses will serve as foundational courses for the students to acquire the necessary minimum competencies to do advanced studies in data science. Poster. Image from the UPD Data Science Program Facebook page The regular PhD track, on the other hand, is for those who already have a master’s degree. Applicants for this track are expected to already have the necessary competencies to do advanced studies in data science. They must also have the necessary background and skills in the practice of data science, particularly in their domain of expertise. Applicants without the appropriate level of mathematical, computational, and statistical background may either opt to take option 1 or enroll in non-degree courses to attain the required level of competencies. The PhD by research track is for those who already have a master’s degree, with research experience beyond the master’s or equivalent degree, and with at least three published papers about data science and related fields (one of which should be as lead or primary author). Admitted applicants are required to have a research plan prior to enrollment in the program.

(SEPT. 23)—A museum and memorial dedicated to honor the memory of the victims of the state violence and oppression during President Ferdinand E. Marcos’s Martial Law will be built inside the UP Diliman campus infront of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) building. Named “Freedom Memorial Museum,” the flagship project of the Human Rights Violations Victims’ Memorial Commission (HRVVMC) will house a roll call or list of names of the victims. It will also house relevant memorabilia, artifacts, educational materials and audiovisual content which will be open to the public. Speaking at the event, HRVVMC Executive Director Carmelo Victor Crisanto said the University donated 1.4 hectares of land beside the new College of Fine Arts Arts and Design West Hall, where the Campus Maintenance Office building now stands. The museum will be built in the shape of a fist rising from a brutal edifice. The fist is a universal symbol for resistance while brutal architecture—which uses raw, unfinished concrete set in bold, geometric forms—was common during the Martial Law period. “This is our contribution to the international community of human rights museums. Lahat ng ilalagay natin, walang propaganda. Katotohanan lamang. The memorial commission is very strict that the truth should be triangulated and that triangulation could be made by taking various perspectives. What I’d like young people to do is look at the facts and create their own conclusion. These are not voices, these are evidences,” he said. Cast members of “Dekada ’70” perform an excerpt of the play during the opening program. The museum’s architectural perspective was screened publicly during the opening program of the UP Day of Remembrance 2019, held at Palma Hall lobby.

On the contrary, they were drawn to him for his sheer brilliance and wit, let alone his fatherly concern and munificence of heart. The magic fiber of his being is most memorable: cultivating the life of the mind as well as giving heart to the UPDEPPO community.” A certified public accountant and real estate broker, Agulto, at various stages, served as a member of the governing boards of corporations.
