Tan and Epsilon Chi Fraternity Radian Governor Eugene G. Ong together with (standing) OSH officer-in-charge Dr. Shirley V. Guevarra, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Neil R. Santillan, Engr. Manuel H. Torres and Engr. Roberto C. Ronquillo. (OCT.27)—A health and fitness center (HFC) for use not only of dormers but also the UP Diliman (UPD) community will be constructed at the Molave Residence Hall. A groundbreaking ceremony held on Oct. 2 marked the start of construction of the said facility which will house a basketball court alternately serving as volleyball, badminton and table tennis facility. The memorandum of agreement (MOA), signed by UPD through Chancellor Michael L. Tan and Epsilon Chi Fraternity, Inc. through its Radian Governor, Eugene G. Ong, during the ceremony provides that the fraternity will donate P10 million for the HFC construction as its legacy project to the university in celebration of their 50th founding anniversary in 2014. The university, on the other hand, shall “make available an area of approximately 1,457 sq.m. for the building.” Dr. Shirley V. Guevarra, Office of Student Housing officer-in-charge, said Epsilon Chi already pledged to donate for the HFC construction during the balik UPDorm project launch in April, “The project started with a P5 million initial offer, increased to P8 million and now stands at P10 million.” The MOA further stipulates that Epsilon Chi “shall be exclusively responsible for obtaining the permits and licenses necessary for the actual execution and construction of the project and for the payment of any and all taxes and fees that either or both the national government and/or Quezon City government may impose on the design, execution and construction.” UP, on the other hand, will shoulder the site development cost and its maintenance.

For the building design, Campus Architect Enrico B. Tabafunda suggested that the facility should reflect the UP culture and a UPD architecture graduate should do the plan. The fraternity suggested Arch. Shamcey Supsup-Lee, UP College of Architecture alumna and 3rd runner-up in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant, agreed to do the architectural design for free. The construction of the HFC is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2016. Guests at the ceremony included Dr. Neil Martial R. Santillan, vice chancellor for student affairs; Engr. Roberto C.

Inspired by the Kapampangan tradition of the Lubenas, the University’s acclaimed performing groups will lead the parade around six stations on campus, illuminated by some 40 exquisite lanterns created by Pampanga craftsmen exclusively for the event. Lubenas are evening processions during the nine days of the “simbang gabi” leading to up to Christmas Eve. The procession is lit by two rows of six lanterns, usually made of bamboo and mounted on bamboo poles. The Giant Lantern Festival of Pampanga today is said to trace its beginnings to the Lubenas. Aninag 2015 begins with the flag retreat at 5 p.m. at Quezon Hall, after which the participants will proceed to the University Amphitheater where 107 lighted balloons, representing the University’s 107 years, will be released by students of the UP Integrated School, symbolizing the new hope of the nation. Vargas Museum is the second station where a light show features National Artist Fernando Amorsolo’s Harvest Scene, followed by a dance number by the UP Dance Company. The third station is at the Palma Hall steps, where the UP Pagad Sayk Tiriritz will sing “Awit ng Pasko.” At the fourth station, the puppet show “Istariray: Ang Bituing May Buntot” by the late Rene Villanueva will be staged by students Sigmund Pecho, Io Balanon and Nour Hooshmand to the music of the Guitar Guild at the Main Library steps. The parade next moves to Melchor Hall, where at its steps, the UP Staff Choral Society will render “Sa Araw ng Pasko.” Moving on to the Carillon Plaza, the UP Cherubim and Seraphim will sing “Dasal ng Pasko.” The lanterns, which have been illuminating the parade, will now remain at the plaza. The parade culminates at Quezon Hall where university officials open the Christmas season by switching on the lights on campus and unveil Imao’s art. Imao turns the Oblation into a sulo (torch) with multi-color lighting and three flame components made of deformed bar framework covered with plastic. With the Christmas celebration theme of “Dingas: Adhikaing Diliman, Adhikaing Bayan,” he uses the Oblation to symbolize a torch, the three towers in the Quezon Hall as lighthouses, the lights in the Oblation Plaza as sails and the trees around Quezon Hall, adorned with red lights for the season, as fire trees. According to the Imao, these metaphors are for the University’s roles as a spark for new ideas, a guide to action and the beacon for public service. An acclaimed sculptor and painter, Imao’s works are in major cities in the Vietnam, the Philippines, the United States and Europe. He earned an architecture degree from UPD and an MA Sculpture from the Maryland Institute of Fine Arts. Three other events are slated for the season. On Dec. 11, the UP Filipiniana Dance Group will stage the concert Tanglaw 2015 at the University Theater at 3 and 7 p.m. The matinee is free and open to the public but with control tickets. Tickets to gala are at P250. Tickets for both schedules are available at the Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts. Dingas 2015, the traditional Lantern Parade, will commence at 5 p.m. on Dec. 14 and at 9 p.m. the Beta Epsilon will mount Maskipaps: the Crossover at the Sunken Garden.

https://upd.edu.ph/upd-lantern-parade-2015-a-party-in-the-rain/ | UPD Lantern Parade 2015: A party in the rain - University of the Philippines Diliman | UPD Lantern Parade 2015: A party in the rain Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office December 23, 2015 | UPDate Online > Campus By Haidee C. Pineda, images by Leonardo A. Reyes First prize winner: College of Engineering (DEC. 23)—This year’s Lantern Parade at UP Diliman (UPD) was literally wet due to the torrential rains brought by Typhoon Nona (international name: Melor) to Metro Manila and other parts of the Philippines. Despite the heavy downpour, on Dec. 14, the participating groups and spectators, armed with umbrellas, were all set for the most anticipated Christmas event at UPD as early as 4 pm. It was also the first time that pet dogs were allowed to join the parade. The University Amphitheater was visibly vacant with only close to 500 people watching the program while other spectators either sought refuge at the Quezon Hall or already went home. But overall, the festive atmosphere was palpable during the program. Second prize: Maranao house lantern by the College of Architecture Forty-six groups participated this year comprising the degree-granting units, administration and support offices, student organizations and other UP constituent units. The biggest contingents were from the colleges of Engineering (COE) and Fine Arts (CFA) and the School of Statistics (SS). With the theme “Dingas: Adhikaing Diliman, Adhikaing Bayan,” the Lantern Parade showcased colorful and gigantic lanterns that depicted not only ‘Tatak UP’ but ‘Tatak Filipino’ motifs such as the Fighting Maroons’ UAAP logo (College of Human Kinetics/CHK), Philippine eagle and Manobo folks (College of Arts and Letters), Sarimanok-inspired float (Asian Center), vinta (College of Home Economics/CHE), Bakunawa, a moon-eating dragon of ancient Philippine mythology, (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs/OVCAA); kulintang (College of Music) and Balangay (Institute of Islamic Studies)—all made from recycled materials. Other fascinating floats that were seen during the parade were the mock-up military tank symbolizing the human rights abuses during the Martial Law (UP Sandigan para sa Mag-aaral at Sambayanan); giant microphone (College of Mass Communication), solar system (College of Social Sciences and Philosophy/CSSP), firefly (College of Science), heart-shaped lantern (College of Social Work and Community Development), light house (SS) and the chair of excellence lantern (UPD Extension Program in Pampanga and Olongapo). College of Fine Arts best lantern contest first prize: Ang Panday. College of Education teamed up with UP Integrated School and National Institute for Science and Mathematics Education Development and paraded with their golden lotus lantern. As in previous years, the participants prepared song and dance numbers to the audience’s delight. Academic units such as the CHK, School of Economics, College of Mass Communication, performed various dance routines. As expected, the UP Varsity Pep Squad thrilled the audience with amazing stunts. The Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business contingent, with their giant birthday cake lantern, sang a “Happy Birthday” song to mark their 99th anniversary. Heads and staff of the units under the OVCAA once again surprised the crowd with their well-rehearsed dance number, wearing color coordinated malong as costumes with matching yellow and red wigs. CFA contest second prize: Asiong Salonga Three academic units brought their own marching band as part of their contingent, namely, College of Law, National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) and School of Urban and Regional Planning. The highlight of the event was the CFA contingent led by its dean, Prof. Leonardo C. Rosete. This year, CFA paid tribute to Philippine Cinema. With the theme “Sining sine: Pagbabalik-tanaw sa Pelikulang Pilipino,” CFA featured lanterns depicting some of the classic Filipino films in the order of appearance, namely: Jose Nepomuceno’s “Dalagang Bukid” (1919), Manuel Conde’s Genghis Khan (1950) and “Juan Tamad Goes to Congress” (1960); Gerardo de Leon’s “Dyesebel” (1953) and “Pedro Penduko” (1954); Romy Suzara’s “Asiong Salonga” (1978), Luciano B. Carlos’s “Facifica Falayfay” (1969), Lino Brocka’s “Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag” (1975), Eddie Romero’s “Ganito kami noon…Paano kayo ngayon?” (1976), Celso Ad Castillo’s “Burlesk Queen” (1977), Ronwaldo Reyes’s (also known as Fernando Poe Jr.) “Panday” (1980), Ishmael Bernal’s “Himala” (1982), Mike De Leon’s “Sister Stella L.” (1984), Maryo J. De Los Reyes’s “Bagets” (1984) and Jerrold Tarog’s “Heneral Luna” (2015). A short program and the announcement of winners capped the parade. UP President Alfredo E. Pascual and UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan also delivered Christmas messages. The Best Lanterns were judged based on the following criteria: adherence to the theme (20%), creative use of materials (30%) and presentation and visual effects (50%). The judges were Dr. Patrick Flores, curator of Vargas Museum; Chris B. Millado, Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) vice president and artistic director; Nina Ricci Alagao, Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2000; Loy Arcenas, film director and production designer; and Barbara Tan-Tiongco, CCP Resident Company technical director. The lantern of the Oblation with an illuminated heart (CoE) won the grand prize and P25,000 in cash. Sarimanok-inspired traditional Maranao house (College of Architecture) was awarded the second prize and P20,000 while the lantern titled “Ararong-Nayon Tungo sa Kinabukasang Naaayon” (NCPAG) won the third prize and P15,000. CFA classes again competed among themselves this year. Most Beautiful Lantern was awarded to the “Panday” lantern while the second and third prizes were awarded to “Asiong Salonga and “Juan Tamad Goes to Congress” lanterns, respectively. Also seen at the parade were the UP System and Diliman officials in their Christmas uniform shirts; the Lumad kids, contingents from UP Manila College of Dentistry, UP Open University and UP Mindanao; and the UP Babaylan wearing costumes with the Mother Earth-inspired theme. The event was hosted by Mark Zambrano, CHE alumnus and GMA News and Public Affairs senior sports news correspondent and news anchor; Maricel Rodriguez, CHE alumna and Office of Student Housing staff and Kevin Brandon E. Saure, CSSP alumnus and Diliman Information Office staff. The program ended with a spectacular fireworks display sponsored by the Beta Epsilon Fraternity.

https://upd.edu.ph/clenched-fist-is-up-fighting-maroons-official-logo/ | Clenched fist is UP Fighting Maroons’ official logo - University of the Philippines Diliman | Clenched fist is UP Fighting Maroons’ official logo Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office July 20, 2015 | UPDate Online > Campus By Haidee C. Pineda, images courtesy of Dan Matutina (JUL. 20)— A raised clenched fist, symbolizing the UP community’s spirit of solidarity, is now the official logo of the University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons. The logo consists of a maroon clenched fist with the letter “M” cut at the wrist and sandwiched between the letters U and P. The words “Fighting” and “Maroons” are inscribed on top and bottom, respectively. The logo will be used by all varsity teams in all competitions. A design team comprising esteemed UP alumni in the graphic design, advertising and branding industry created the official logo with the help of #nowheretogobutUP, a volunteer alumni group generously supporting UP student athletes. The logo, which will be formally launched in August, comes at a most auspicious time: UP is hosting the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) this season. “There was no official logo for the UP Fighting Maroons, so the UP Seal was usually attached to the jerseys of the student-athletes. Moreover, the use of UP System-registered trademarks like the Oblation and sometimes the UP Seal in UAAP broadcasts are unofficial renditions meant to identify the UP teams,” noted a statement by #nowheretogobutUP. It added that “because UP is the host of the upcoming UAAP Season 78, the concerned UP offices (the Office of the Chancellor, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development, the College of Human Kinetics and the College of Fine Arts) have decided to create an official logo for the UP Fighting Maroons.” The design team developed a main logo with two partial primary versions; a secondary logo depicting the M Fist/Fighting Fist; a tertiary logo with Isko and Iska; and an internal logo with the Oblation. The main logo, depicting a raised clenched fist, symbolizes the UP community’s spirit of solidarity, while the letter “M” cut at the wrist stands for “Maroons.” Partial primary logos Dan Matutina, the design team’s head and co-founder of Plus63 Design Co., said “sifting through all the comments and suggestions from students and alumni, the team realized that the raised fist represents the UP Fighting Maroons. It best represents the ‘palaban’ nature of The Fighting Maroons. It’s also a logo that works well within the competitive and assertive nature of the games.” “This symbol also reflects the university’s history of activism. It’s a rallying visual for people to come together and fight for something they believe in. We want people to immediately think ‘UP’ when they see the logo. And we think they do,” he added. The partial primary logos serve as variations of the main logo and will be used when the name of the school and team are not needed. The secondary (“M”) and tertiary logos (Isko and Iska) can be used for merchandising and promotional materials. The internal logo (Oblation) can be used as design element on the athletes’ uniforms. However, UP has ownership and exclusive rights to the use of the Oblation and determines how it should be used for external purposes, such as in merchandising and other promotional materials. The Design Team. The members of the design team, who worked pro bono, are: Dan Matutina, Kay Aranzanso, AJ Dimarucot and Ralph Guibani. Mandy Reyes and Pete Jimenez served as team coordinators. Matutina, a College of Fine Arts (CFA) alumnus, is a designer and illustrator who has worked on projects for companies such as Google, Pinterest, Airbnb, Samsung, Blackberry, WIRED Magazine, among many others. In 2013, he received the prestigious Young Guns Award by the Art Directors Club in New York. With him were Bernice De Leon-Yumul, Joanna Malinis and Raxenne Maniquiz, his co-founders of Plus63 Design Co., a design studio that creates brand identities, strategizes communications, designs and illustrates for print and web. Aranzanso is a CFA alumna. She is a designer and illustrator dabbling in graphic design, illustration, murals and hands-on chalk lettering projects. She works with creative firms such as And A Half Design Studio and Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan. Guibani is a CFA alumnus and former UP Pep Squad drummer. He is currently a Junior Art Director for BCD Pinpoint and plays guitar for his band Verbacoma during his free time. Dimarucot is a UP College of Engineering graduate. He is a graphic designer, entrepreneur and restaurateur. He is known in the crowd-sourced t-shirt design circles for having his art printed several times over at Threadless.com and Designbyhumans.com. His roster of clients includes: Nike, Jordan Brand, Adidas and Uniqlo. Reyes, a College of Mass Communication (CMC) alumnus, is a veteran TV commercial director with more than 30 years of experience in the advertising industry. He is the founder of Industria, one of the leading production houses in the country whose client roster includes: KFC, Tokyo Tokyo, Mister Donut, Motolite, NutriAsia, Monde Phils., and Del Monte. Jimenez, also a CFA alumnus, is a painter and a sculptor by profession. He is President of Optima Digital, the top post-production house in the country. His roster of clients includes: PLDT, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, RFM Corporation, Unilever, Universal Robina Corporation, among many others. UP Men’s basketball team captain JR Gallarza and UP Varsity Pep Squad team captain Cam Lagmay Reactions to the logo. UP Men’s basketball team captain JR Gallarza, who was among the varsity players consulted by the UP administration and the design team on the official logo, said “I honestly felt a sense of overwhelming pride when I saw that fist. I don’t know why I felt that way when I saw it, but I just do. I feel like it embodies the UP Fighting Maroon very well.” Gallarza added he is positive that he can help generate positive reactions to the new logo by “using what today’s society is very much known for- social media. I believe that if I feel excited and proud about the logo, my peers and teammates would be as well.” “The UP Fighting Maroons logo represents the student-athlete’s willingness to fight in the name of the University. It screams power, strength, determination and will. The fist is a great symbol of the Fighting Maroons, Fighting UP: we are known for literally fighting for our rights as individual UP students, faculty and athletes.” UP Varsity Pep Squad team captain Cam Lagmay said. Lagmay intends to promote the logo “by representing it well and by making sure students are aware of the reason behind the need for a new logo. Also, the current logo and its underlying meaning have to be explained alongside its release in order for us to be one in our understanding of what the fist represents.” Dr. Cynthia Grace C. Gregorio and Dr. Eloisa May P. Hernande Former Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Dr. Cynthia Grace C. Gregorio said the logo “captures what every student-athlete embodies—fortitude, valor and strength. This is also the very symbol that impassions every member of the UP community to rally behind our athletes. In victory or defeat, at the end of the game, the clenched fist raised by our athletes and the UP crowd while singing our UP Naming Mahal is a testimony for our collective love and pride for UP.” Department of Art Studies associate professor Dr. Eloisa May P. Hernandez, who is a faculty adviser of the UP Pep Squad along with Gregorio, said “At the end of every game, the UP Fighting Maroons sing UP Naming Mahal together with the UP crowd with raised fists. It’s a ritual, win or lose. I personally look forward to that moment. It’s a salute to our student-athletes for giving a good fight, as well as a moment of solidarity for the whole UP community. Win or lose, we are one for UP. For me, the UP Fighting Maroons official logo symbolizes that moment.” Latest UPD 2023 Year-End Program: Panibagong Lakas UPD remembers 2 profs Christmas Expo 2023 UPD Combatting online sexual harassment OVCPD held planning workshop |

Hashimoto, University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) student athlete of the year from the College of Human Kinetics. Among the faculty were Prof. Alonzo A. Gabriel, one of the 2014 Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World; Dr. Windell L. Rivera, director of the Natural Sciences Research Institute and professors Yna Santos and Mark Santos from the School of Library and Information Studies. Hardworking members of the administrative staff were represented by Aloha Nacu, Student Record Evaluator and driver Ricardo Moralejo from the College of Engineering. Representing the CHE were alumna Alma Concepcion and Prof. Alonzo A. Gabriel. In addition to the pairs, each college contingent included carriers of flower-decked arches, the college banner and flag. Some colleges also had torch bearers illuminating the evening walk and a music band. The parade began at 5:15 p.m., led by members of the UPD Reserve Officers Training Corps and Acting Chief Security Officer Atty. John S. Baroña. The cadets were followed by six Higantes from Angono, Rizal, giant human-shaped paper-mache figures, each wearing a sash with the major events of the Linggo ng Parangal: the Parada ng Parangal, the Chancellor’s International Reception (May 4), the Parangal sa mga Magaaral (May 6), the Parangal sa mga Retirado at Gawad Paglilingkod (May 7) and the Gawad Tsanselor (May 8). Higantes are the main attraction of an annual festival held each November in honor of the town’s patron saint, Saint Clement. The Higantes were followed by Assistant Vice President for Public Affairs Jose Wendell P. Capili. With him were parade Hermanos UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Benito M. Pacheco, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Neil Martial R. Santillan and Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Nestor T. Castro. The centerpiece of the parade was a float which seated the 2015 Gawad Tsanselor awardees, followed by the Royal Knights Drum and Lyre Corps from Barangay Krus na Ligas. The float was tailed by the cadre of flag girls and a marching band that was warmly welcomed by the crowd. A short program followed the parade, where the unit representatives were each called on stage and introduced to the audience. The program also featured performances from the UP Filipiniana Dance Group, a solo by Marynor Madamesila from the College of Arts and Letters and the UP Rondalla. The Parada formally opened Linggo ng Parangal, the University’s weeklong celebration of the excellence, accomplishments and dedicated service of its faculty, researchers, students, administrative staff and community. Castro said the Parada is also meant to add color to the Linggo ng Parangal celebrations and has roots in three summer traditions, namely the Boy Scouts Parade that traditionally opens the Linggo ng Parangal, the Flores de Mayo celebration usually held during May and the Cadena de Amor. The Cadena de Amor is a UP tradition started in 1934 where the responsibilities of senior co-eds were symbolically turned over to the Juniors through the passing of long garlands of cadena de amor, the flower of a climbing vine native to Mexico and found throughout the Philippines. It was usually held in May until the practice was discontinued in 1969.

Ten electric tricycles are now providing transportation services around the campus on a 2-month pilot test as part of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between UP Diliman (UPD) and BEMAC Electric Transportation Philippines Incorporated (BEMAC). BEMAC is a subsidiary of Japanese firm Uzoshio Electric Co. Ltd. and a pioneer in the Japanese electric vehicle industry. Dubbed as UP E-kot, the 68VM electric tricycle can accommodate six passengers and can run at a top speed of 50 kilometers per hour. It has a range of 60 kilometers on a fully charged lithium ion battery. It costs P450,000. The 10 E-kots have been deployed to several UPD offices to serve specific transportation on campus requirements until Aug. 19. UPD Vice Chancellor for Community Affairs Nestor T. Castro said each unit is assigned at certain hours in campus offices and areas not covered by existing jeepney routes. A unit is assigned at the Quezon Hall to do messengerial services to other buildings. One is detailed at the Campus Maintenance Office (CMO) to transport CMO personnel when offices or units need their services; another at the Office of the Campus Architect for inspection of ongoing projects; one unit is being used by the UP Diliman Police in patrolling the campus. UP E-kot units also serve students at the College of Science Complex, in dormitories, varsity teams training at night, administrative staff working overtime such as those at the Office of the University Registrar and the University Library. There are also units assigned at the residential areas such as the Area 1, Area 2, Hardin ng Bougainvillea and Hardin ng Rosas. Chancellor Michael L. Tan and BEMAC president Takahiro Innami at the MOA signing. In the MOA signing ceremonies held June 19 at the UP Theater Lobby, Theresa Yvonne Palomar Castro, BEMAC’s Vice President of Administration and Operations & Sales and Marketing Group, said the project seeks to support UPD’s advocacy of providing a safe and environment-friendly transportation system. UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan and BEMAC president Takahiro Innami signed the MOA. The University and BEMAC saw the need for additional transportation services especially at night which cause security concerns among UPD constituents. “We are optimistic that this collaboration with UP will provide positive results because UP is home to some of the best researchers and experts in the country,” said Palomar-Castro, who is also a UP alumna. The two-month trial period is part of UPD’s study on environment-friendly modes of transportation. The study is being done by the UP National Center for Transportation Studies. “The vision of UPD is to go green in the next five years,” said Castro, whose office is in charge of the trial operation. Castro said the study would look at the power consumption, maintenance, and the volume of passengers, among other things. “After the trial period, we will make recommendations whether to discontinue the E-kot project or continue with it by requesting a grant from the Japan International Cooperation Agency,” said Castro. Present at the MOA signing were UP System and UPD officials, and BEMAC officials.

https://upd.edu.ph/yes-sunflowers-can-bloom-in-the-rain/ | Yes, sunflowers can bloom in the rain - University of the Philippines Diliman | Yes, sunflowers can bloom in the rain Benito V. Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office July 29, 2015 | UPDate Online > Campus By Benito V. Sanvictores Jr., image by Jefferson Villacruz Certified seed. This is the secret behind the sunflowers at UPD’s recent graduation. Tasked to ensure there will be sunflowers despite moving the graduation date to June due to the academic calendar shift, Campus Maintenance Office (CMO) Acting Director Alden Jose U. Aynera discussed the matter with his foremen. “We accepted the challenge of planting sunflowers even during the start of the rainy season,” he said. They consulted with Mr. Emiliano D. Sotalbo, former CMO director and Project Development Associate (PDA) of UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan. Sotalbo, who is also an adviser for CMO’s forestry concerns, introduced them to certified seeds. Certified seeds, as defined by Merriam-Webster, are of good quality and established identity verified by an official agency after inspection. These seeds are “high in purity and germination capacity and free from certain pests and diseases,” added Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Aynera said certified seeds are 100 percent guaranteed to germinate and grow. “Certified sunflowers are slightly rain-tolerant, meaning they are not rain-proof and can still be soaked in rainwater but will be able to survive. Planting should be 60 to 75 days before the blooming of the sunflowers, after which the sunflowers wilt naturally,” he said. Test planting of the slightly resistant to rain variety started as early as May 2014. Though it is guaranteed that the sunflowers will grow, they were wary if the sunflowers could endure the rains. During the observation period, “the sunflowers were able to survive typhoon Ester in June 2014 and sustain themselves until they bloomed,” Aynera said. It was eureka moment and they came up with the decision to purchase that particular variety. Uncertified seeds cost approximately P0.05 centavo per seed while certified seeds cost P1.10 each. To work within the approved budget, certified seeds were planted only from the portion of the island near the Oblation Plaza up to the UP Gateway, the Abueva sculpture and its adjacent side pathways. Before, uncertified seeds were planted on the whole stretch of the University Avenue from the Oblation Plaza up to Commonwealth Avenue and its adjacent side pathways. Their efforts paid off when sunflowers started to bloom during the first weeks of June 2015. “We did not also expect the sunflowers to be six to seven feet tall because the packaging of the seeds indicated that the maximum height will be five feet only,” Aynera said. There are possibilities to preserve the matured seeds from the certified sunflowers but CMO has no capability for such process and it is also costly. Even with such process, there is also no guarantee that all the extracted seeds will be certified seeds. The best option still, according to Aynera, is to purchase for next year’s graduation. The planting of the sunflowers started as an experiment of the Campus Landscaping Office and Arboretum (CLOA) under the leadership of Dionisio Liwag, an agriculturist, in the early 1980s, Sotalbo recalled. With certified seeds, rain or shine, future commencement exercises are guaranteed to have sunflowers, an icon of UPD’s graduation and a symbol of hope and dreams.

Albarracin and Mario M. Albarracin; (standing, from left ) Elinor A. Virata, Gillian Joyce A. Virata, former Prime Minister Cesar E.A. Virata, Ana Maria Virata, Nestor A. Virata and Carlo Virata. (AUG. 28) –In honor of the man who played a significant role in his life, UP Regent and engineer Magdaleno B. Albarracin Jr. donated P20 million to the Cesar E.A. Virata School of Business (VSB), formerly the College of Business Administration (CBA). “I am doing this donation to pay tribute to former Prime Minister Cesar E.A. Virata, a man who believed in me and other co-faculty members when he sent us to the USA for further studies,” Albarracin said during a short program held at the Executive House on Aug. 13. Albarracin said faculty members were sent to the Unites States to pursue their doctoral and post-doctoral degrees from 1960 to 1967 during the term of Virata as CBA dean. Other CBA faculty members who were sent to the United States for further studies were Manuel S. Alba (former Budget Secretary), Jaime C. Laya Jr. (former CBA dean, Budget and Management Secretary and Governor of the Central Bank of the Philippines), Rafael A. Rodriguez (former CBA dean and VSB professor emeritus), Emanuel V. Soriano (former UP president) and Emmanuel T. Velasco (former CBA dean and current dean of Mapua E.T. Yuchengco School of Business and Management). President Alfredo E. Pascual (left) and Regent Magdaleno B. Albarracin Jr. Virata graced the event with daughter Gillian Joyce A. Virata and relatives Ana Maria Virata, Carlo Virata, Elinor A. Virata and Nestor A. Virata. The donation was intended for the establishment of the VSB Magdaleno B. Albarracin Jr. Faculty Development and Research Endowment Trust Fund. Albarracin said the trust fund can be used by the college to help its faculty pursue doctoral (PhD) and post-doctoral degrees. “This will also prevent the vacuum that will be left behind by senior faculty members with PhDs when they retire. The younger faculty members will be encouraged to pursue their studies thus replenishing the retiring PhD holders,” he continued. The trust fund can also be used to support research programs and projects related to the academic agenda of UP as the national university. UP President Alfredo E. Pascual accepted the donation on behalf of the University and acknowledged Albarracin as a “loyal and ever supportive son of UP.” “Regent Albarracin is being a good example to other alumni who were waiting to be tapped. His donation also showed that he is not just investing in the institution but in the future of the country as well,” Pascual explained. He also recalled the words of Murray Simpson Bartlett, the first UP president, “it (UP) can serve the world best by serving best the Filipino.” Through donations, “we embrace the words of Bartlett. Let us be unselfish workers for the common good.” Albarracin who served as CBA dean from 1981 to 1986 had already donated to several causes not only at VSB but also to the College of Engineering where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1956. He consistently supported the projects of the university through donations and fund-raising activities, particularly during UP’s centennial celebrations in 2008, where he served as the vice chairman of the UP Centennial Commission. Joining Albarracin at the event were his wife Trinidad and son Mario. In addition to Pascual, present during the turn-over rites were UPD Chancellor Michael L. Tan, VSB dean Ben Paul B. Gutierrez, Manila Tytana Colleges President and former UPD Chancellor Sergio S. Cao, and the VSB faculty. The UP Board of Regents, at its 1287th meeting on Apr. 12, 2013 approved the proposal of the business faculty to honor its former dean by renaming CBA to VSB.

He was 99. According to his grandson, Gerardo Lopez, Odoy succumbed to pneumonia. Odoy. Screenshot of the 2018 Image from the Mobility PH YouTube channel Fondly known to his family as “Lolo Neong,” Odoy was a bus driver before moving to UPD in 1949. He started the Ikot route using a large jeepney he called “Dagul.” In a 2018 video interview by Lopez, Odoy said he had the idea of starting a paid shuttle service in 1949 after seeing students having to walk long distances in between colleges just to make it to class. He called it “Ikot.” At first, fellow jeepney drivers laughed at Odoy because he was only charging five centavos as fare. However, his earnings amounted to around P100, a large amount during the time. “Hindi alam ng mga kasamahan ko na kumikita ako. Pinagtatawanan ako. Bandang huli noong nakita, noong magbilangan kami ng kita, eh naglakihan ang mga mata. Kumita ako ng P100 eh,” he said. Odoy continued plying the route for the next nine years until 1958, by which time several other drivers also began to ply the route. “We admired how he hatched the idea out of compassion for the students who’d walk long distances in between colleges just to attend class. So he wanted to give them an easier time to get to class,” Lopez said. Aside from being a good provider, he was a dedicated and hardworking patriarch who instilled good values, according to his family. “We remember him to be very appreciative of even the smallest things, telling stories of his experiences with gusto to anyone who’d sit and listen,” Lopez said. He leaves behind nine of his 10 children and their families. His wife Marquita V. Odoy passed on well over a decade ago.

Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO In his message, UPD Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo said, “Events like this mark the start of new leadership, but it is also an occasion to affirm our common goals, affirm our commitment to the goals of the college and goals of the university, and goals of the nation as a national university.” Nemenzo added that being a dean is a very challenging job and oftentimes, one must play a delicate balancing act in addressing the competing interests of his or her constituents. He then asked the SURP community to give their full support, trust, and understanding to Magnaye to help her fulfill her tasks. An economic, financial, and social development specialist, Magnaye said her slogan, “SURP: Gearing UP,” bears two meanings, the first being: greening and innovating urban and regional planning for planners and future thinkers. Magnaye explained that greening SURP is a localized context of the United Nations Environment Programme of greening universities and campuses, and transforming them into green and sustainable campuses. “Greening SURP is envisioned to promote green principles in planning education; adhere to inclusive education; and adopt greening strategies in governance,” she said.

This leads to broader strategic alliances, with graduate students contributing to sustainable development and goals-themed scientific research. Finally, 2024 is the fruition of two years of achieving new heights, and the realization of SURP as a globally recognized urban and regional planning institution. Her vision for SURP is to make it an “institution positioned to lead the delivery of quality-assured academic programs, research, extension service, and governance in Southeast Asia that advocates innovative and inclusive learning in the pursuit of the green and global sustainable development agenda,” Magnaye said. She added that she takes the helm with confidence. “With the support of the faculty, REPS, and administrative staff, I can boldly pronounce that we can together face the challenge for SURP to move forward and (bring) its faculty, REPS, and staff to higher levels of well-being.” Magnaye also introduced her executive board. They are Carmelita R.E.U. Liwag (school secretary), Karen Ann B. Jago-on, PhD (director, Graduate Studies Office), Kristine F. Aspiras (director, Training and Extension Services Division), and Annlouise Genevieve M. Castro, EnP (OIC, Research and Publication Division).

Lansangan, PhD, as one of the country’s leading institutions of statistical sciences, the school recognizes its role in achieving a gender-equal society through the development of statistics. “These are crucial to our work in gender and development because good policies and programs require good data and studies. Through our contribution as statisticians, we are able to guide our universities and our countries in crafting of policies, setting priorities, and tracking of progress towards gender equality,” Lansangan said. Meanwhile, the USC received the Gawad Kasarian 2022 para sa Natatanging Student Organization in recognition of its programs and activities geared towards gender equality.

Image from the DGO Facebook page “We started to work in the gender committee after the transitionary period of the USC last term around August 2021. Since then, we started planning our GAD work and activities where we focused on leading the call for a gender-sensitive UP community that ensures the genuine freedom of every individual from discrimination, harassment, and violence, and the community that struggles for national democracy and social justice to fight against misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, and other forms of discrimination, violence based on gender especially during a time of a crisis,” said Latrell Felix, USC gender councilor, who received the award. Both the STAT and the USC were honored with the Gawad Kasarian para sa Breakthrough Activity. The STAT for the research “Researching the Rainbow” and the USC for its UP Pride Protest. The Gawad Kasarian para sa Breakthrough Activity is the other new category, and is in recognition of a breakthrough activity, landmark achievement, or institutionalization of a practice, activity, or policy in GAD work by a GAD Committee, a college/unit/office, a UPD organization, or student organization. This year’s Gawad Kasarian panel of judges were UPDGO Coordinator Kristel May Gomez-Magdaraog, RSW, MAWD; DGO GAD Officer Cindy Cruz-Cabrera, PhD; UP Center for Women’s and Gender Studies director Nathalie “Natsy” Africa-Verceles, DSD; UPD Office of Anti-Sexual Harassment Head Teresa Paula S.

Image from the DGO Facebook page The initial version of the DGO Taunang Ulat 2021 was also introduced during the awarding ceremony, alongside the “FILIPIN/AS: Women in Philippine Society” module, a collaborative work of DGO and select faculty of the Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts of the UPD College of Arts and Letters. The module is intended to be a preliminary resource for gender education that zooms in on experiences of Filipino women. It was pilot-tested at the UP Integrated School. Gomez-Magdaraog hopes that more units and individuals will be actively involved in future GAD efforts, not mainly for the award, but for the essence of the advocacy which promotes gender equality. The awarding ceremony was held virtually on March 31 via Zoom.

https://upd.edu.ph/honoring-the-cradle-and-its-lessons/ | Honoring the “cradle” and its lessons - University of the Philippines Diliman | Honoring the “cradle” and its lessons Benito V. Sanvictores Jr. - Diliman Information Office May 06, 2022 | UPDate Online > Campus “The answer is simple, isa lang ang aking duyan, at ito ang Pilipinas. Ang ugoy nito ang ugoy ng buhay ko,” said Fernando dlC. Paragas, PhD, 10th dean of the UP Diliman (UPD) College of Mass Communication (CMC), during his oath-taking on April 22 at the UPD Film Institute Cine Adarna and livestreamed via Vimeo. His response was to the questions repeatedly asked of him upon his return to the CMC in 2015 after years of teaching abroad: Why give up the good life where there are many research grants and teaching load is light? Why return to the Philippines where resources are scarce? “Even before I left for Singapore, I already made a promise to return and seek to apply what I’ve learned about the principles and operations of a research university back to our country. To help our people study ourselves and contribute more meaningfully to the local and global literature on communication and media,” Paragas added. Paragas. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Lessons on the cradle. During his message, Paragas shared the lessons on the cradle that his mother taught him. “Maging lingkod-bayan has been instilled in me the moment my Nanay cradled me,” he said. “Nanay earned her English degree from the UP College of Education in 1958 and was the perfect candidate in the search of teachers bound for the United States in the 1960s,” Paragas added. His mother chose to stay and taught in public schools. She also served as an adviser to a generation of student journalists in Cavite, Quezon City, and Manila. Paragas’ mother passed away 20 days before his oath-taking. “It is important to leave the comforts of the cradle” is the first lesson. “Save for the three years in the United States and six years in Singapore, I have been here in UP since 1991, at least 31 years or exactly two-thirds of my life spent as an Iskolar ng Bayan. But while UP is my comfort zone, my proverbial duyan, I have worked with many of you outside the sprawling Diliman campus,” Paragas said. “The importance of rocking the cradle” is the second lesson. “Iyong pag-ugoy nito ay hindi kailangang palaging banayad. We who are gathered on-site and online are presented today with the biggest challenge of our times—that of communication and information,” he said. Paragas shared the need to address the prevalence and insidiousness of misinformation, disinformation, and mal-information head-on. The last lesson is needing the help of others. “Sometimes, either by choice or circumstance, nalalaglag tayo o ang iba sa duyan. Minsan, kaya nating tumayo sa sarili natin pero minsan kailangan natin ang tulong ng iba. What is important, however, is that we are mindful of those who formed our cradle. I’m happy at how we care for each other. May malasakit tayo sa isa’t isa. Pero, we can still improve,” Paragas said. He articulated this in his vision paper—to make CMC as 3Cs, a caring community of communicators. “Guided by this vision, our collective mission is to care and communicate—for ourselves, for each other, for our community, and for our country,” Paragas said. Paragas takes his oath as his family stands witness. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO College agenda. Paragas also enumerated the CMC’s three-year college agenda, “to help develop our people, our content, and our places, even as we prepare for the next normal.” The six parts of his agenda are: (1) the college plantilla plan, (2) the faculty and staff development and promotion plan, (3) the academic excellence program, (4) the college and community engagement program, (5) the digital service program, and (6) the physical spaces and equipment program plan. Assisting him in implementing the CMC’s agenda are Ma. Ivy A. Claudio (college secretary), Rachel E. Khan, DPA (associate dean and Department of Journalism chair), Daphne Tatiana T. Canlas, PhD (Department of Broadcast Communication/DBC chair), Randy Jay C. Solis, PhD (Department of Communication Research/DCommRes chair), Robert L. Rownd, (UP Film Institute director), Violeda A.

Paragas (left) and Nemenzo sign the appointment paper. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Tambuli. During the turnover part of the ceremony, Arminda V. Santiago, PhD, ninth CMC dean, handed over a tambuli to Paragas. The tambuli is an important CMC symbol for stewardship. Event co-host Cherish Aileen A. Brillon of the DBC explained the use of the tambuli. “During pre-colonial times, it is an instrument that calls people to come together either to listen to important announcements or to take part in making decisions for the community, which is actually what this oath-taking symbolizes. The CMC community coming together,” she said. Event co-host Jon Benedik A. Bunquin of the DCommRes further emphasized the importance of the turnover. “From the former dean of the college to the new CMC dean, this turnover of the tambuli symbolizes an amicable transition to the new administration and the commitment to continuously work together in support of the CMC and its endeavor.” Paragas (left) and Santiago after the turnover of the tambuli. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Words of affirmation. “Ibang hamon naman ang kinakaharap ngayon ni Dean Ernan. He will have to lead the college in a time of transition. Sinusubukan nating bumalik sa face-to-face, sa bagong normal. Pero hindi pa talaga ganap na natatapos ang pandemya. Nandiyan pa rin ang banta ng mga bagong variant kaya kakaibang panahon ito,” Chancellor Fidel R. Nemenzo said before the oath-taking proper. “He will also have to lead the college in a time of great change, disruption, and uncertainty—at the time of social media, the digitization of our lives, fake news, and revised history. This is a great challenge for the dean. I’m sure it’s both challenging and it excites you as well,” Nemenzo added. The DCommRes faculty members who prepared an audiovisual presentation (AVP) together with Paragas’ sister, Louie Paragas Sebastian, took turns telling stories of his beginning in UP as a student, his studies abroad, his years as a DCommRes faculty member, and his accomplishments within and outside the college. In another presentation, faculty members from the UP System (UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies, UP Cebu, UP Los Baños, and UP Mindanao) and those from universities abroad (Ohio University, USA and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), gave their affirming words. Some of the faculty members were his former advisees in their graduate studies. Also present in the ceremony were the members of his family. Paragas (front, fourth from left) with CMC faculty members, UPD officials, and UP System officials. Photo by Jefferson Villacruz, UPDIO Term of office. Paragas’ appointment was approved by the UP Board of Regents at its 1368th meeting on Feb. 24. He will serve until Feb. 23, 2025. CMC alumnus Terrence Tolentino covered the song “Sa Ugoy ng Duyan” by National Artist for Music Lucio D. San Pedro. Paragas personally requested the song as it directly relates to the lessons of the cradle. The UP Concert Chorus Alumni Association led the singing of the National Anthem and performed “What a Wonderful World” by G. D. Weiss and G. Douglas with arrangement by Jai Aracama, while the UP Symphony Orchestra led the singing of the UP Naming Mahal.

In his welcome remarks, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Neil Martial R. Santillan introduced the Seal of Good Governance as the special award for selected college councils. This award was given for the first time at the Parangal sa Mag-aaral. Santillan said the awardees were selected “based on the standards set by the University Student Council” in five key areas as: posting of financial statements, minutes of the meeting and attendance record of officers; attendance to the League of College Councils’ meetings and Citizens Charter. Six college councils from the CMC, School of Economics, National College of Public Administration and Governance, CoE, School of Statistics and VSB received the award. Each received a Seal and a gold plaque during the ceremony. Meanwhile, Chancellor Michael L. Tan, who is also a linguistic anthropologist, talked about the meaning of the word “parangal o dangal” which is defined as honor or dignity. He said “These are good definitions that remind ourselves that this afternoon is not just about honor graduates but about the things that go into honor and excellence—the hallmarks of UP. It is a time to reflect on who we are this afternoon.” In addition, Tan said the Parangal is also the time to honor the student athletes who “serve yet another form of excellence that we want to uphold here in UP, in the UP System, in UP Diliman. I see them as they practice long hours after doing acads the whole day and stay until midnight to prepare for the game has produced very important results for us, including the current events in the UAAP this year where the men’s and women’s football teams clinched the championship. We honor those athletes for not just for honoring UP but also for honoring the nation. Lagi ko ring sinasabi sa mga atletang iyan at sa mga Iskolar ng Bayan, ang tagumpay ng UP ay tagumpay ng Bayan!” Furthermore, the Chancellor mentioned the three important values of being in UP: sipag (diligence), tiyaga (perseverance) and paninindigan (conviction or commitment to what they believe in). “Our students pour in efforts because they believe in something. They believe that they can excel,” Tan said. CoE student Williard Joshua D. Jose, in an inspirational message, talked about the role of a UP student. Jose said “Bilang estudyante, ang pangunahin nating tungkulin ay ang mag-aral. Mag-aral hindi lamang para makakuha ng mataas na marka, ngunit tayo ay dapat mag-aral dahil tayo ay subsidized ng buwis ng mga Pilipino. Mag-aral, dahil napakapalad natin na mapabilang sa mga iskolar ng bayan.” He also said it is important for UP students to study well in order to become experts in their chosen field and help solve the biggest problems of the Philippines. He reminded his fellow awardees to uphold UP’s motto of “laging nauuna ang ‘Honor’ bago sa ‘Excellence’ —higit na mahalaga ang honor. Para saan pa ang galing natin kung hindi rin para sa ikabubuti ng iba? Ilaan natin ang ating talino at kaalaman para sa ikauunlad ng ating inang bayan.” UPD also awarded the Parangal sa Samahang Mag-aaral to student organizations UP Chemical Engineering Society, Inc., UP Communication Research Society, UP Association of Business Administration Majors, UP Special Education Council, UP Circle of Entrepreneurs, UP Junior Philippine Institute of Accountants and the UP Academic League of Chemical Engineering Students.

https://upd.edu.ph/uaap-season-78-begins/ | UAAP Season 78 begins - University of the Philippines Diliman | UAAP Season 78 begins Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office September 18, 2015 | UPDate Online > Students By Haidee C. Pineda, images by Leonardo A. Reyes and Jefferson Villacruz The eight balangays representing the eight UAAP participating universities. (SEPT. 18)— “Arkipelago,” an impressive story about the formation of the Philippine archipelago and the origins of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), opened UAAP Season 78 at the Araneta Coliseum on Sept. 5. Staged by a cast of close to 300, coming from 10 performing groups at UP Diliman, the hour-long spectacle left the audience in awe. UAAP Board Member Edwin T. Reyes of De La Salle University (DLSU), who was so impressed with the program, said “Congratulations, UP! I really enjoyed it! That was a great show!” The extravaganza, which showcased Filipino culture and traditions, was one of UP’s major tasks as host of the current season. The show opened with the prologue dubbed “Tibok ng Puso.” Two performers suspended on harnesses gracefully floated down to the stage while the enchanting voices of three children narrating the tale of the formation of the Philippines’ 7,107 islands and dancers, in colorful costumes, pounded their drums to the beating heart. The tale progressed with the appearance of sea creatures, flora and fauna while a binukot (Hiligaynon term which means well-kept maiden) played by Natasha Cabrera, a BA Theatre Arts graduate of the College of Arts and Letters (CAL), sang about the competition among light, darkness, sea and sky. The song was an original composition by Prof. Jem R. Javier of the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP) and set to music by singer, music arranger and composer Krina Cayabyab, BM Choral Conducting, 2010 summa cum laude. Multihued lights filled the performance area, creating an illusion of sea, air and land. Spectators at the Araneta Coliseum fell silent upon hearing the binukot’s captivating voice then gasped loudly when a school of fish, jellyfish, dugong (sea cow), manta ray, pawikan (sea turtle), butanding (whale shark) and the higantes appeared, carried by the dancers, and floated across the stage to the frenzied beat of Philippine musical instruments. The gigantic sea creatures, flowers and trees—all made of paper mache and other materials—were masterfully crafted by students from the UP College of Fine Arts (CFA), under the guidance of Prof. Leonardo Rosete, Marc San Valentin and Ohm David. Helmed by Prof. Dexter Santos, Dulaang UP’s artistic director, “Arkipelago” was conceptualized and written by Dr. Sir Anril P. Tiatco of CAL, Javier and Kevin Brandon E. Saure of the UP Diliman Information Office. Other members of the artistic team were Cayabyab (musical direction), Peter Alcedo Jr. (overall choreography); John Ilao Batalla (lighting designer), Darwin Desoacido and Bonsai Cielo (costume design); and Winter David (video design). The story climaxed with the arrival of eight balangays (Butuan boat), carrying people from Angono, Rizal, Cordillera, Tacloban, Bacolod, Cebu, T’boli/South Cotabato, Davao and Tawi-Tawi. The eight islands and balangays represented, respectively, the UAAP’s eight participating universities, namely: Adamson University (AdU), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), De La Salle University (DLSU), University of the East (UE), Far Eastern University (FEU), National University (NU), UP and University of Santo Tomas (UST). UP Diliman Chancellor Michael L. Tan, in an interview with BusinessWorld Online, said “Five big colleges of the university were involved. Arts and Letters, so you would see the best of theater people. Human Kinetics, of course. Fine Arts and we know how great their lantern parade entries are. College of Music as it is going to be a big musical extravaganza. Social Science will give a historical component to it. So everything will be here.” Among the performers were UP Cherubim and Seraphim members Jose Gabriel C. Alcazar, Jose Rafael C. Alcazar and Sabien Ongtengco; Cabrera, UP Concert Chorus, UP Dance Company, UP DanceSport Society, UP Filipiniana Dance Group, UP ROTC Symphonic Band, UP Streetdance Club, UP TUGMA and the UP Varsity Pep Squad. In his welcome remarks, UP President Alfredo E. Pascual said “Matutunghayan natin ang husay at talino ng ating mga atleta na pinanday ng mahabang pagsasanay at displina at pinaningning ng tiyaga sa pag-aaral, pagiging tapat, patuloy na pagpapaunlad sa sarili, at pagtulong sa pagtatatag ng pamayanan at bansa. Pagpupugay mula sa UP para sa mga atleta ng UAAP!” Pascual and UAAP officials presented the UAAP Season 77 trophy to University of Santo Tomas as the overall champion of the junior and senior division. Pascual was accompanied by Dr. Ester A. Garcia, University of the East president; Carmelita G. Mateo, UAAP Season 77 president; Rodrigo M. Roque, UAAP Season 77 secretary and treasurer, and UPD Chancellor Tan. One of the highlights of the event was the parade of athletes representing the eight UAAP participating universities. The UAAP Board of Trustees members were also introduced during the ceremony. They are Rev. Fr. Maximino D. Rendon, C.M. and Rev. Fr. Aldrin R. Suan, C.M. of AdU; Richard N. Palou and Emmanuel T. Fernandez of ADMU; Edwin Theodore C. Reyes and Emmanuel M. Calanog of DLSU; Mateo and Roque of UE; Anton R. Montinola and Jocelyn E. De Leon of FEU; Jose Nilo J. Ocampo and Joaquin C. Loyzaga of NU; Tan and Ronualdo U. Dizer of UP; Rev. Fr. Ermito G. De Sagon, O.P. and Gilda Ma. Paz R. Kamus of UST; and Atty. Rene Ma. M. Villa. Tan, who is the current UAAP president, formally opened Season 78 followed by the oath of sportsmanship of the athletes. Pop diva Bituin Escalante, together with the UP Concert Chorus, concluded the event on a high note and sang the official UAAP Hymn arranged by Cayabyab. A celebratory dance of all the performers to the song “Tumitindig, Sumusulong,” which is also the UAAP Season 78’s theme especially composed and arranged by Cayabyab, ended the ceremony. After the event, the UAAP men’s seniors division basketball tournament commenced with UP Fighting Maroons pitted against UE Red Warriors on the first game, and UST Growling Tigers versus AdU Soaring Falcons on the second game. UP claimed its first win beating UE with a score of 62-55.

Pineda, images by Jefferson Villacruz (OCT. 8)—The UP Varsity Pep Squad’s (UP Pep) Utak at Puso or UPuso theme routine may have failed to snatch the grand prize and landed third, but they sure have won the hearts and minds of the crowd at the University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 78 Cheerdance Competition (CDC) held Oct. 3 at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena. Clad in gold and maroon uniform with a heart-shaped cut at the back, the UP Pep performed a near-flawless routine and stunts without penalties and deductions showcasing mind and heart as the theme. UP Pep assistant coach Niño Jose Antonio, in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, said “we dedicate this (performance) to student-athletes. It’s because when an athlete gets down in an in-game situation people would usually say ‘puso lang.’ But for us, since we’re from UP, we also need our mind to work with our heart. It’s not always our heart that we should always use, ‘utak at puso’ that’s our homage to student-athletes.” More than 25,000 fans at the MOA Arena burst into riotous cheer when the UP Pep flyers were lifted then tossed into mid air like anchors to form an amazing heart-shaped pyramid with the guitar rendition of “UP Naming Mahal” by Wardy Puyod as background music. The anchors away toss and heart-shaped pyramid won for the UP Pep special awards, namely, the Yamaha Best Toss and PLDT Fantastic Pyramid. Aside from UP’ school hymn, the trendsetting pep squad used Pinoy rock songs at the CDC such as Parokya ni Edgar’s “Bagsakan,” Sandwich’s “Sugod,” Rivermaya’s “Liwanag sa Dilim,” Kamikazee’s “Seksi Seksi” and Spongecola’s “Puso” as background music for their routine. UP was named 2nd runner-up after garnering a score of 610.5 points while the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Salinggawi Dance Troupe’s African-themed routine won 1st runner-up with a score of 651.5 points. With a caveman-themed routine, the National University (NU) retained their CDC title after earning 668 points, making it their third consecutive win. Far Eastern University (FEU) Cheering Squad bagged the fourth spot with 583.5 points followed by the University of the East Pep Squad (583), De La Salle Animo Squad (538.5), Adamson University Pep Squad (513.5) and Ateneo de Manila University Blue Babble Battallion (412).

https://upd.edu.ph/new-upd-professors-emeriti/ | New UPD Professors Emeriti - University of the Philippines Diliman | New UPD Professors Emeriti Bino Gamba - Diliman Information Office March 09, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe (Mar. 8)— The UP Board of Regents (BOR), at its 1314th meeting on Jan. 29, appointed three UP Diliman (UPD) College of Science (CS) faculty members as professors emeriti. They are Dr. Rhodora V. Azanza of The Marine Science Institute (MSI), Dr. Rene P. Felix of the Institute of Mathematics (IM) and Dr. Henry J. Ramos of the National Institute of Physics (NIP). Professor Emeritus, a title for life, is conferred upon retired faculty members in recognition of their exceptional achievement and exemplary service to the University. Azanza. Fondly called “The Red Tide Lady,” Azanza is internationally recognized for her pioneering research on seaweeds and harmful microalgal biology, coastal environment management and seafood safety. At the MSI, she led in conceptualizing and implementing multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary programs that aim to understand red tide/harmful algal blooms outbreaks and to identify factors that affect the occurrence of algal blooms, and design proactive strategies to mitigate their harmful effects. In the last five years alone, she has published more than 20 scientific papers in ISI covered journals and other international publications. For her significant contributions in the study of the red tide phenomenon in the country, Azanza was elected Academician in the Biological Sciences Division of the Philippine National Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) in July 2009. In 2013, the University of the Philippines Alumni Association bestowed on her the Lifetime Distinguished Achievements Award, and in 2015, she was conferred the Pantas Award as Outstanding Researcher/Scientist by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD)-DOST. Azanza has served the University in various academic and administrative positions and extended her expertise to various national government agencies and international organizations. She has the distinction of being the first woman dean of the CS (1999 to 2006). She has been Vice chair of UNESCO-Inter-governmental-Oceanographic Panel and concurrent leader of the ASEAN Red Tide Network and part of a UNESCO E-learning for Harmful Algal Blooms. She is currently the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs and director of the Office of the International Linkages of the UP System on an extension of service basis. Felix. Felix, whose specialization is in mathematical crystallography and group theory, has the distinction of being the first graduate of PhD in Mathematics from UPD in 1980. He served as Chairman of the Department of Mathematics from 1986 to 1990.

https://upd.edu.ph/talasalitaan-wika-at-kasarian/ | Talasalitaan: Wika at Kasarian - University of the Philippines Diliman | Talasalitaan: Wika at Kasarian Haidee C. Pineda - Diliman Information Office March 29, 2016 | UPDate Online > AcademeIpinagkaloob nina (mula sa kaliwa) SWF Dirketor Rommel B. Rodriguez, UCWGS Direktor Odine De Guzman at Dekana Amihan Bonifacio-Ramolete ang Sertipiko ng Pagkilala kanila Dr. Portia Padilla, Dr. Nancy Kimuell-Gabriel at Prop. Oscar Serquiña. (MAR. 29)— Ang usaping pangwika at pangkasarian na pinamagatang “Wika at Kasarian: Mulang Katuturan Tungong Kamulatan” ay itinampok sa Talasalitaan bilang pakikiisa ng UP Diliman sa pagdiriwang ng Pandaigdigang Buwan ng Kababaihan. Ang Talasalitaan ay isang panayam na isinagawa ng Sentro ng Wikang Filipino (SWF) at sa pakikipagtulungan sa Diliman Gender Office (DGO) at University Center for Women and Gender Studies (UCWGS) na ginanap noong Marso 4 sa Pulungang Recto, Bulwagang Rizal. Ang mga panauhing tagapagsalita ay sina Prop. Portia P. Padilla ng Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon at Dr. Nancy Kimuell-Gabriel, tagapag-ugnay sa Opisina ukol sa Kasarian ng Diliman samantalang nagsilbing reaktor naman si Prop. Oscar Serquiña ng Kolehiyo ng Arte at Literatura. Padilla Kamalayan sa kasarian. Sa unang bahagi ng panayam ay tinalakay ni Padilla ang paksang “Kamalayan sa Kasarian sa Pamamagitan ng Edukasyong Pangwika” kung saan binanggit niya ang ugnayan ng wika, kultura at kamalayan sa kasarian. Ilan sa mga ibinigay niyang halimbawa ay ang mga salitang “maprinsipyo” “mapagkimkim,” “maasikaso” at “mayabang” na hango sa imbentaryong ginawa ni Dr. Vivian Velez-Lukey sa kanyang pananaliksik na pinamagatang “Pagkababae at Pagkalalake (Femininity and Masculinity): Developing a Filipino Gender Trait Inventory and Predicting Self-Esteem and Sexism” kung saan sinasabing ang mga salita ay may katumbas na kasarian. Ayon sa pag-aaral ni Velez-Lukey, sinasabing ang ‘maprinsipyo’ ay katangian daw ng lalaki; ang ‘magpakimkim’ ay sa babae; ‘maasikaso’ sa babae at ‘mayabang’ sa lalaki. Paliwanag ni Padilla, “May kaugnayan sa pagtuturo at pagkatuto ng wika, na kapag natututo tayo ng wika ay hindi lamang wika ang natututunan natin kundi pati kultura rin dahil ang kultura ay konektado sa wika at ang kamalayan sa kasarian ay naiimpluwensiyahn ng kultura. Ngunit hindi lang iyon, naiimpluwensiyahan ng malakas at mapanuring kamalayan ang namamayaning kultura.” Dagdag nito, sinabi niya na ayon sa mga pag-aaral tungkol sa wika, kasarian at pagkakaiba, “Magkaiba raw ang mga lalaki at babae sa paggamit ng wika. Magkaiba rin silang mag-isip kung paano natututunan ang wika. Magkaiba rin sila sa paggamit ng mga stratehiya sa pagkatuto ng wika.” Tinalakay rin ni Padilla ang kakulangan ng mga pananaliksik tungkol sa kasarian at pagtuturo at pagkatuto ng wika, Ingles man ito, Filipino o iba pang wika sa Pilipinas. “Tiningnan ko ang mga ginawang pag-aaral ng aming mga sariling mag-aaral sa Kolehiyo ng Edukasyon at sa nakaraang 10 taon o higit pa, walang pag-aaral tungkol sa wika at kasarian na ginawa ang mga kaguruan man o mga estudyante sa masterado o doktoradong antas,” ani niya. Sa proseso naman ng pagmumulat sa mga mag-aaral ukol sa usaping pangkasarian sa konteksto ng mother-tongue based multilingual education sa bagong K to 12 na kurikulum, ani ni Padilla, “Kung titingnan ang kurikulum ng mother-tongue ng Filipino at ng Ingles sa bagong K to 12, walang natatanging tuon sa papel ng kasarian o sa kasarian din ng salik sa pagkatuto ng wika. Pero sa pagtaya at pagpili ng mga materyal panturo, kagaya ng teksbuk o supplementary materials, kasama ang kasarian sa social content guidelines.” Binanggit din ni Padilla na isa sa mahahalagang hakbang sa pagtuturo o pagkatuto ng wika ay ang alisin sa laylayan ang usapin ng kasarian lalo na sa mga kurso na may kaugnayan sa wika, gamit ng wika at pagkatuto ng wika. “Pero hindi maaaring gawin iyun kung hindi ka muna maalam sa bagay na ito. Kailangang maging maalam ngunit kailangan ding makialam kung kinakailangan. Kailangang ding bigyang-pansin hindi lamang ang pagkakaiba sa kasarian kundi pati na rin ang pagkakapareho at pagkakapantay-pantay ng mga tao ano man ang kanilang kasarian,” ani niya. Kimuell-Gabriel Edukasyon na malay at tumutugon sa kasarian. Sa ikalawang bahagi naman ng panayam, isa sa mga tinalakay ni Kimuell-Gabriel ay ang resulta ng tatlong oras na gender-sensitivity orientation (GSO) para sa mga mag-aaral na isinagawa ng Diliman Gender Office (DGO) noong Peb. 22. Sa tatlong oras na GSO, ani ni Kimuell-Gabriel, marahil kung tumagal ng isang semestre ang pag-aaral tungkol sa kasarian, “Mas malay marahil ang lahat sa sekswal na panggigipit at mas makakapag-ingat, mami-minimize kung hindi man lubos na mapapawi.” Kanya ring minungkahi na mas mainam lalo kung sa unang taon palang sa Unibersidad ay dumadaan na sa kursong pangkasarian ang mga mag-aaral upang maging gabay nila ito sa pang-araw-araw na buhay sa loob at labas ng kampus. Tungkol naman sa isinasagawang kurikular na pagbabago sa General Education (GE) Program ng UP, ayon kay Kimuell-Gabriel “Isinususog natin ang pangangailangang gawing bahagi ang gender-sensitivity bilang isang nakapahayag na layunin ng GE Program at ang pagkakaroon ng lahat ngestudyante ng isang kursong pangkasarian. Ibig sabihin, bago grumadweyt ng Unibersidad, kailangang dumaan sa isa man lang kursong pangkasarian ang lahat ng mag-aaral sa UP.” Ani niya, “Ang paglilinang ng edukasyong malay sa kasariaan ay tumutugon sa panawagan ng UP na magpaunlad ng kritikal na pag-iisip, paglinang ng mabuting asal, dangal at pagkatao, at magtaguyod ng katarungang panlipunan. Hindi makukumpleto ang rekado kung hindi isasahog ang layunin ng pagiging malay sa kasarian.” Nagkaroon ng malayang talakayan bago matapos ang programa. At sa panghuli, nagbigay ng pangwakas na pananalita si Dr. Odine De Guzman, direktor ng UCWGS. Si Dr. Rommel B. Rodriguez ang nagbigay ng pambungad na pananalita samantalang ang panimulang bati ay mula kay Dr. Amihan Bonifacio-Ramolete, dekana ng Kolehiyo ng Arte at Literatura. Sina Prop. Bernadette Neri ng UCWGS at Kristel May G.

https://upd.edu.ph/morados-affirmed-as-iis-dean/ | Morados affirmed as IIS dean - University of the Philippines Diliman | Morados affirmed as IIS dean Mariamme D. Jadloc - Diliman Information Office April 04, 2016 | UPDate Online > AcademeChancellor Tan (left) with Dean Morados at the Affirmation Rites. Standing as witnes is the dean’s family. (APR. 4)—Prof. Macrina A. Morados was affirmed as 8th dean of the Institute of Islamic Studies (IIS) by Dr. Michael L. Tan, UP Diliman (UPD) chancellor on Mar. 30 in front of institute constituents, family and guests at the Salam Conference Hall at the Romulo Hall. Her affirmation came more than two months after the UP Board of Regents approved her appointment at its 1313th meeting on Dec. 11 last year. Morados is the second woman to be appointed to the deanship, the first IIS being Dr. Carmen Abubakar. Morados serves a 3-year appointment which began on Jan. 1 this year until Dec. 31, 2018. Morados finished a BA in Islamic Studies and Bachelor of Laws at the Mindanao State University in 1991 and 2001, respectively. She passed the Shariáh Bar Examinations in 2008 and in 2013, for the subjects Islamic Inheritance Law and Persons and Family Relations. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Philippine Studies major in Philippine Culture and Society at UPD. “Accordingly, the success of any learning institution is measured by the achievements of its alumni. It is important to ask: what kind of graduates are we producing? …Some of our alumni have done great contributions to nation-building and are actively involved in various capacities as educators, peace advocates, holding executive positions in the government, successful businessmen, consultants, volunteers to both national and international non-governmental organization. The IIS has produced graduates who became achievers in their own field of expertise,” Morados said. She also shared her plans for the institute which include the pursuit of curriculum development program, revival of the IIS journal, strengthening of IIS linkages and extension services, and the construction of a new building. Curriculum development program. Morados said the institute is proposing changes in the IIS curriculum to make it responsive to the students’ needs and to keep pace with global trends and development. Particularly in the areas of banking and finance, Islamic Law and in the field of Halal. “In the area of Islamic Law, it is high time for the IIS to offer a major in Shariáh. The increasing number of students is due to our existing courses that are related to Shari’ah bar subjects… Another promising field…is on Halal. There is a global demand for Halal products,” Morados said. Recently, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos has identified IIS as its academic institutional partner. The Dean sees this as a gauge in the viability and marketability of courses related to Halal. As a long-term goal, Morados hopes to see IIS offering a PhD program five to seven years from now. Revival of IIS Journal. The Dean also expressed concerns in reviving the institute’s Journal. “The IIS has never been called to perform challenging roles in producing balanced and liberating knowledge than in today’s crucial time to combat the surging threat of radicalism and extremism. Islam is the most misconceived religion…here, our role in the academe is very apparent from writing the correct perspectives and the right contexts of these issues to producing knowledge that is balanced with truth and justice,” Morados said. Strengthening linkages and extension services. The new dean underscored the IIS commitment to the UPD community and the general public of being responsive to the concerns and issues the nation faces today. “This is an affirmation of our commitment to mainstream our extension services responsive to the concerns and vital issues we are facing these days. Our Interfaith program has gone a very long way in terms of collaborations both with our International and local partners. We aim to foster cultural understanding by promoting respect and tolerance among people of different faiths. Moreover, our faculty members are visible in community extension services, sharing their expertise,” she said. New IIS building. Morados also touched on the need for a new building. “Indeed, the IIS is the face of Islam in the University and in Metro Manila and even in the entire country. The building that houses Islamic Studies is no longer in good condition,” Morados said. At the affirmation rites, Morados introduced the members of her IIS executive committee: Dr. Jamel Cayamodin (College Secretary and Chair for the IIS Curriculum Development Program), Atty. Mehol K. Sadain (Chair for IIS Building Committee), Prof. Nefertari Arsad (Chair for Research and Publication) and Prof. Aisha Flores Malayang (Chair for Extension and External Linkages Committee). Morados’s affirmation, Tan observed, is one of the more well-attended affirmations to date, with guests from the members of the diplomatic corps, deans of other UPD units, and members and former members of the national government including former senator Santanina Rasul.

https://upd.edu.ph/this-one-is-for-the-books/ | This one is for the books - University of the Philippines Diliman | This one is for the books May Jurilla - Diliman Information Office April 06, 2016 | UPDate Online > Academe Books from the library of Francisco Arcellana before the fire at FC. Books in the Philippines generally tend to have short shelf lives. Our environment is host to many conditions that are not friendly to books, conditions that constantly threaten their survival. One of such is the frequency of fires. As a book historian, I know this all too well, for there is no dearth of accounts of the burning of books throughout Philippine history. Take, for example, the fires at the San Agustin convent in Intramuros in 1574, then in 1583, and yet again in 1586, each one razing the structure to the ground and consuming all the possessions of the poor Augustinian friars, including their books. By the time of the 1586 fire, they had built up what has been described as a “very rich library,” one of the best in Manila at the time. But it was just as vulnerable as any other library, best or worst, to the ravaging force of fire. Another important collection lost to fires is the manuscripts of Francisco Baltazar (Balagtas), which was left with his family after his death in 1862. While Balagtas is generally known primarily for Florante at Laura, he actually wrote many other poems and more than a hundred plays. Only a fraction of these works has come down to us today because of two fires that hit Orion (now Udyong), Bataan where his family lived. Then there was the fire at Plaza Moriones in Tondo in 1940. It was actually a bonfire, the centrepiece of a protest action by a group of writers who were of the younger generation of Tagalog authors. Decrying the stagnant state of Philippine literature and blaming commercialism as the impediment to progress, they cast into the fire printed novels, short stories, poems and other writings that they considered unworthy of being passed on to future generations. Most of the works they burned were by the older generation of writers. These fiery incidents and the many more like them serve well as data in my work as a book historian, but their aftermath—the loss of books, documents and other texts—are the stumbling blocks and the dead-ends of my research, which have caused me much frustration. The feeling seems petty now. I knew all too well that books have been lost to fires throughout Philippine history. But, as we in academe perhaps sometimes forget or fail to acknowledge or don’t realise, knowing something—reading, writing, speaking about it—is one thing; experiencing it yourself—seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling it—is quite another thing altogether. On 1 April 2016, a fire razed the Bulwagang Rizal, better known as the Faculty Center (FC), in the Diliman campus of the University of the Philippines. Built in the 1960s and site of the administration and faculty offices of the College of Arts and Letters (CAL) and the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy (CSSP), the FC was second home to hundreds of people who walked its halls everyday—faculty members, administrative and support staff and students. While some parts of the building were spared from the flames, the larger part of it, most of it, was totally gutted. The fire ate up everything in its path. If this were just another book history case I was researching on, I imagine that, being keen on irony, I would’ve gotten a kick out of it. Consider this: a fire that happened in a place of high intellect on April Fools’ Day and on the day right after the end of Fire Prevention Month; when just the day before, a colleague concluded her lecture in class dramatically (as she usually does) with the line from Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, “I’ll burn my books…!”; when the burning of the building had long been a running joke among its occupants.. No one is laughing at the joke now. I myself am not so amused by the ironies now that I know not even a paper clip survived in my room. We of the FC are so grateful that no one was hurt in the fire, yet we are wracked by a deep and painful loss nevertheless, as if we ourselves were gutted. Our books and readings, data and records, research materials and writings, personal and professional mementoes, gadgets and equipment acquired, collected, and maintained carefully through the years, not without difficulty or sacrifice, as anyone familiar with the UP budget would know—all gone. At the CAL meeting, held while FC was still burning, there were grim faces and teary eyes all around the room. It felt like a wake. While the fire victim in me was grieving, the book historian in me was fascinated to find that what my colleagues were mourning most for was the loss of books—the ultimate tools of our trade. For some, it was their entire libraries, books of a lifetime, housed in their FC rooms for decades or just set up a few months ago, as in the case of a young colleague who recently got tenure and, finally, a room of her own. For others, it was significant sections of their collections, transferred into their offices due to lack of space in their rented apartments. For most, it was their working libraries, the books they used for their teaching every class day, every semester, every schoolyear throughout their entire careers so far. The Department of English and Comparative Literature (DECL) suffered a particularly gut-wrenching loss: In February this year, the family of the late Francisco Arcellana, National Artist for Literature, donated his library to the department. It comprised over a thousand books, the most special ones marked with annotations in his hand and inscribed by their authors for him, along with rare first editions of Philippine literary works. Some of my colleagues and I were in the process of sorting through the collection. It was tedious and literally dirty work, but it came with the privilege of catching a glimpse of the life of the mind of a brilliant man who was a pillar of Philippine arts and letters and who was once one of us, a member of the DECL faculty. The best items of Arcellana’s library are irreplaceable indeed. Many of the books lost in the FC fire, though, are not. New copies may be acquired, be it in print or digital form. But this, I know, is cold comfort for my colleagues and me. There is, on the one hand, the practical issue of the cost and time entailed in replacing those books, which any UP teacher would be hard-pressed to address. On the other hand, and this is just as real an issue, there is the psychical and emotional value of those books. You may buy a new copy of a book lost in the fire, and it would have the same contents and serve the same purpose as your previous copy. But it would never ever be that particular book that has been with you since your BA, through your MA, up to your PhD days; or the one you bought during your first overseas conference and had signed by the author who was the keynote speaker; or the one your favourite professor, now deceased, bequeathed to you when she retired. Once a book has been owned, it is never the same copy as any of the hundreds or thousands of the same title. That’s what makes the printed book so special, the life that becomes attached to it and that it expands, the story it acquires beyond the story it tells. I don’t think that the digital book is quite able to transform itself and its reader this way. In time, I am sure that we will get over the loss of our books; we will move on and carry on owning, reading, and writing other books. I am certain, too, that the memories of joyful learning that we all shared in FC and the friendships that we forged there, no fire can ever burn. Bangon CAL-CSSP! Kaya natin ito! ======= May Jurilla is Associate Professor at the DECL, where she teaches book history and literature.

According to the APS implementing guidelines, regular faculty, research faculty, REPS and administrative personnel in active service, and regular part-time faculty (occupying a regular item but teaching part time) in continuous service for five years at the time of application, may apply for appointment as UP Artist.
