New university looks for a seal (January 28, 2009)
BINGO ALCORDO

THOUSANDS of pesos in cash prizes await amateur and professional artists as the Mindanao University of Science and Technology (Must) launches today a university seal design competition.

The contest is open to the public with a maximum of five entries per entrant which must be submitted in both digital and hard copies and must conform to certain specifications.

The prizes are the following: 1st prize–P50,000 cash; 2nd prize-P20,000 cash; 3rd prize-P10,000 cash; 10 consolation prizes of P1,000 each; plaques of recognition for the top three winners and certificates of participation for all contestants (see details on full-paged ad in this issue).

Must (formerly Mindanao Polytechnic State College) achieved its university status early this month with no less than President Arroyo in attendance in the conversion celebration.

The conversion law was authored by Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of the 2nd District of Cagayan de Oro and co-authored by Rep. Yevgeny Vincente Emano of the 2nd District of Misamis Oriental and the late Rep. Danilo Lagbas of the province’s 1st Dist-Misor).

At the Senate, Sen. Peter Allan Cayetano who was then chair of the committee on education, became the main proponent of the bill and personally pushed for the speedy approval of the conversion.

MSU-Iligan pulls upset in 'Frankahan' (http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/anc/01/30/09/msu-iligan-pulls-upset-frankahan)
abs-cbnNEWS.com | 01/30/2009 11:40 PM

:applause::applause::applause::applause:


In a stunning upset, Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology, neophyte Square Off participants, knocked out University of the Philippines - Diliman in this week's Square Off: Frankahan - The Drilon Debates. Arguing against the motion that government agencies should be mandated to employ displaced OFW's, the all-girl team of Iligan was unanimously voted to make it into the quarterfinals.

UP framed their argument by defining displaced OFWs as those pulled out of dangerous areas like Iraq and Gaza. They argued it is government's responsibility to give compensation and assistance to these workers.

The Iskolars ng Bayan asserted that as remittances from overseas workers keep the economy afloat, it's just right that the government give back by extending help to them through referrals in local and international employment market.

But MSU-Iligan pointed out that UP did not properly engage the motion and that what UP proposed was no different from what exists in the status quo. It was Best Speaker Mara Nanaman, Deputy Leader of the Opposition, who identified the main issue as one of Government prioritizing displaced OFWs.

Taking off from that point, MSU-Iligan built the case that laid-off workers who chose to stay in the Philippines did not deserve any less assistance from the state. And for that matter, those who lost their jobs because of conflict in Mindanao were no different from the OFWs pulled out of war-torn foreign countries. MSU asserted that nation-building isn't gauged by monetary contributions, therefore all should be treated equally. "Let them all fall in line!" called Nanaman.

Government Whip Claire Jiao tried to salvage UP's case by arguing that the local workers the opposition was seeking to protect were the very beneficiaries of OFW money. Thus, OFWs did deserve special treatment. But this line of reasoning came too late and wasn't fully fleshed out.

"Given the discussion of how human resources are equally important, we don't see why OFWs have to be prioritized based on tonight's debate, so we give the win unanimously to the opposition," Chief Adjudicator Sharmila Parmanand explained.

The announcement was greeted by tears and cheers from the MSU side - debaters and supporters (in both ANC's Quezon City and Cagayan de Oro studios) alike. "MSU Alumni the world over are celebrating this victory!" said the girls' very emotional coach. "Thank you to Square Off: Frankahan for giving us this chance to shine!"

You can catch Square Off: Frankahan - The Drilon Debates every Wednesdays, 8-9pm, with replays every Thursday 1pm, Saturday 1pm and Sunday 2am.

I think that would be possible although it might run also with conflict with the second largest state university in the country today...Mindanao State University.

But yes, that may be possible....given the budget. :D

DLSU clobbers Ateneo de Davao in 'Frankahan' debate

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 02/16/2009 4:01 PM

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version | Send to friendSend to friend

After fourteen weeks, 22 schools have been whittled down to eight.

Via unanimous decision, De La Salle University beat Ateneo De Davao University and took the last quarterfinal spot of ANC's Square Off: Frankahan - The Drilon Debates.

The motion - that the Expanded Value Added Tax should be abolished - was defined by Ateneo de Davao on the Government side as decreasing the VAT from 12 percent to 10 percent, bringing it back to the the pre-2005 rate.

Ateneo said a tax cut can better stimulate the economy and will allow people to spend more. They argue that whatever revenues are lost from the two percent reduction would be compensated by the increase in consumption.

However, DLSU quickly rebutted that argument, saying that VAT reduction will not guarantee higher spending. They said it is more likely that people will wait for prices to go down further.

Moreover, DLSU maintained that the full 12 percent sales tax is needed to cope with today's global financial crisis. DLSU said the government will lose over P43 billion in revenues if the VAT was reduced.

They argue that this will greatly cripple government services and debt payment.

Ateneo countered that the VAT was being used as a scapegoat for the Bureau of Internal Revenue's poor tax effort. They said that instead of burdening the public with a higher sales tax, government should instead fix problems in tax collection.

The Ateneo team also argued that the tax cut would encourage growth over the long term.

DLSU said the government could not rely on income taxes for needed revenues due to tax evasion. They noted that the Ateneo team failed to propose concrete ways to solve this age-old problem.

The adjudicators concluded that the Ateneo team was not able to develop its arguments on growth spurred by tax cuts. They also pointed out that Ateneo did not capitalize on solid figures to strengthen their cause, unlike La Salle which crystallized the opportunity cost of tax cuts with the daunting figure of P43 B in foregone revenues.

DLSU ended the match by bagging all the awards with Opposition Whip Dino De Leon winning Texter's Choice and Adjudicator's Choice for Best Speaker.

Square Off Quarterfinals begins Wednesday, February 19, with reigning champion Ateneo de Manila University going against Mindanao State University - Marawi City.

Square Off: Frankahan - The Drilon Debates airs every Wednesdays, 8-9pm, with replays every Thursday 1pm, Saturday 1pm and Sunday 2am.

Ei guys, thank you for your prayers and support. We offer our success to the City of Cagayan de Oro and to Mindanao as a whole. ABS-CBN's Bandila showed our Nursing Arts Lab last Friday night. Until now, I am still overwhelmed with what's happening. Thanks God, we made it. To our parents, to our dean, and to our clinical instructors, to the entire Xavier University Community... we have achieved our status today because of you. And to the Almighty God, who made all of these possible. DAGHANG SALAMAT.

Here are some pictures taken after we had our thanksgiving mass last friday night at XU Chapel. I owe these photos from Carla Duterte (2nd from left, first picture).

Mindanao College to get Japan aid
02/24/2009 - 10:32Thursday, February 26, 2009
Sunstar Davao


JAPANESE Ambassador Makoto Katsura will sign a contract for Grant Aid for Cultural Grassroot Projects for the Mindanao Kokusai Daigaku (MKD or Mindanao International College) of Davao City on the occasion of the Nihongo Fiesta to be held at SM Mall of Asia on Feb. 28.

Under the contract, a grant of US$46,675 will be given to the MKD of Davao City for the rehabilitation of the college's Japanese language learning facilities. The grant will be used to develop an e-learning Japanese language program in the school in order to make Japanese language learning more accessible to students with various needs.


Aside from the MKD of Davao, the Nihongo Center Foundation (NCF) of Manila will also receive a grant of US$43,764 for the improvement of its Japanese language learning equipment.

Judge Antonina Escovilla, president of the MKD, and Ambassador Benjamin Sanvictores, president and chair of the NCF will be joining Ambassador Katsura to sign their organization's respective contracts.

The Grant Assistance for Cultural Grassroot Projects was introduced in 2000 as part of Japan Official Development Assistance (ODA), expanding the scope of the Cultural Grant Aid to provide assistance to directly benefit the so-called grassroots level in developing countries through assistance for NGOs and local public bodies.

Southpoint is oratorical champ anew
02/24/2009 - 10:32Thursday, February 26, 2009
Sunstar Davao


For second time, Southpoint School is undisputed as it bested seven other champions from other regions during the 14th PAWD (Philippine Association of Water Districts) National Oratorical contest held last February 11 in Cebu City.

Last year, its contestant Krystel Duane S. Suam also emerged as champion.
This year, Southpoint School was represented by 3rd year student Jemimah Pearl C. D'lonsod who received a P25,000 cash prize and a gold medal. The other winners were Jonathan Dave P. Ubiña of Metro Tuguegarao Water District representing Region 2, second placer who went home with P15,000 and a silver medal; and Rafael Victor R. Villanueva of Butuan City Water District representing Region 13 (Caraga), third placer who was given P10,000.00 in cash and a bronze medal. The remaining finalists were from Regions 4, 5, 9, 10 and 12.

The contestants were judged by Lilian N. Asper of Local Water Utilities Administration; Dr. Sofia Logarta, Dr. Madrilena Dela Cerna, Prof. Elmer Montejo, all from University of the Philippines - Cebu; and Dr. Joseph Sol Galeon of Cebu Normal University in these criteria: content (organization, mechanics and originality), 40%; delivery (audience contact, platform behavior and mastery), 30%; and voice (pronunciation, diction, voice projection, and voice quality), 30%. The contest was themed "Water and Sanitation for Life's Preservation".

During the Davao City Water District's 15th citywide oratorical contest, D'lonsod won over 36 participants during the citywide level. She then represented Davao City Water District to the regional finals sponsored by the Southern and Central Mindanao Water Information Council (Socemwic) last November 28, 2008 in Tagum City. D'lonsod was trained by teacher-coach Pauline Anne B. Ferrero.

"As PAWD ended the conduct of National and On-the-Spot Poster Making contests last February, we are glad that Davao City Water District has produced eight local oratorical champions who made names in the top three places in the national level. We are proud to have affected environmental consciousness among the students thru these contests," said Rodora N. Gamboa, DCWD general manager.

DCWD public information/relations manager and contests coordinator, Maria Editha C. Monje, said that though the oratorical and poster making contests have ended on the national level this year, DCWD will continue to hold other events to sustain the utility's campaign on water and watershed preservation among students. In fact, DCWD started the inter high school debate contest last year and held extemporaneous contests from 2000 until 2007.

She also thanked the high schools that had supported the citywide oratorical for 15 and the on-the-spot poster making contest for 18 years. (PR)

^^hala luoya sad sa lima nga wala nakapasar ui..unsa kahay feeling nila..naa kaha sila sa picture?

^^ Nope, they're not in the picture. That photo was taken before the motorcade wednesday last week. That is also the photo for our batch for this year's board passers. One of the five is a good friend of mine. Until now, I do not know what went wrong coz she's smart. In fact, way back sa review namin, she made it to the top twice sa post exams namin. She's a transferee from a prestigious state university. Then during sa board exam, magkatabi lang kami ng room. She was so confident. She was even happy when we talked after the board. Everything went so perfect for her daw. So I really do not know what went wrong. I'm afraid she missed to shade one item. Alam nyo naman, computerized ang pag check ng exam. If you failed to shade one item, or pag di masyado na shade... the machine that checks the test papers won't be able to read it. Another thing, erasures sa board exam is quite dangerous. If you have not erased it properly, the machine might read two answers and consider that item wrong. So everything has to be clean and wrinkle free. Haayzz..

History and Creation
The establishment of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology is a dream and vision fulfilled.

The institute is a product of a firm and beautiful dream of a young and enterprising man from Candijay, Bohol whos preoccupation and obsession in life has been the enhancement of education of the youth. The young man who founded the school and became its first president was Dr. Nicomedes A. Salas.

SJIT is a non-profit and non-sectarian institution. Its founding is primarily dedicated to the welfare of the youth of Butuan City, Agusan del Norte and its neighboring provinces. Its growth is not a only in terms of enrollment but also in its commitment and dedication to attain a level of quality education by adding more courses which are relevant to the technological development of the country.

The quest for excellence continued and in 1996 SJIT made another bold step. The school passed the accreditation process for the Liberal Arts, Commerce and Education programs (LACOMED) with the Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA).

By the year 2000 and beyond, computer science, civil engineering, criminology, maritime and other degree program are slated for accreditation. Eventually these programs will be added in the list of accredited programs.

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/489/180086985l.jpg

In line with the government’s program for globalization, SJIT has attained ISO 9001 Certification from Det Norske Veritas (DNV), an international certifying body which certified the entire school starting year 1999.

SJIT - Education at its best!

Mindanao State University
Iligan Institute of Technology



Overview

The Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) is an external unit and one of the ten campuses of the Mindanao State University System. Established on July 12, 1968 as provided for by Republic Act (RA) 5363, the institute has continually provided quality education to thousands of students from almost everywhere in the Philippines.

These students flock to the institute every semester with one goal in mind - to study in MSU-IIT. We are humbled by the fact that these students choose and even dream to enroll in MSU-IIT. When asked why they choose this school, they strongly believe and admire our commitment to academic excellence. We envision MSU-IIT as a world-class institution of higher learning renowned for its excellence in science and technology and for its commitment to the holistic development of the individual and society.

To live with our commitment, we offer our students a wide array of more than 115 academic programs, which include 43 graduate programs in a variety of fields including education, business, arts and humanities, engineering, information technology, the natural sciences, and mathematics. Our students are given opportunities to collaborate with more than 400 distinguished full-time faculty members passionate about teaching, research, extension, and community development. For these, MSU-IIT has received numerous institutional awards.

Based on the standards of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), MSU-IIT is a Center of Excellence in Mathematics and Chemistry, Center of Development in Physics and Biology, Center of Development for Excellence in Information and Communication Technology, Center of Development in Ceramics Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Material Science Engineering. We are the Zonal Research Center for Regions XII, IX, & ARMM.

MSU-IIT is also known as the Information and Communication Technology Learning Hub for Northern Mindanao and the Virtual Center for Technology Innovation - Microelectronics based on the standards of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST).

Many believed that we have achieved this far because of the powerful combination of big-university opportunities and a friendly, small-community campus setting. We are a public, non-residential, mid-sized, comprehensive university with a special emphasis on science and technology located in downtown Iligan City, Philippines - a small, safe, and vibrant city that is a regional hub of culture and commerce. Our students not only enjoy an intensely personalized academic experience but also participate in an extensive array of extracurricular activities that include more than 60 student organizations and a highly successful internationally-respected music and performing arts program. Not surprisingly, our graduates become well-rounded leaders in every field you can think of.

Students come to MSU-IIT to fulfill their dreams. They choose to stay in MSU-IIT because they know that it is the ticket to their dreams. Not just that, MSU-IIT is so inviting. Our students are delighted with the warmth of welcome they receive, the ease with which they become part of this academic community, and the friendships they build here. At the end of the day, it makes us proud even more to know that our students are here because they feel at home. Indeed, it’s a home away from home.



History

The history of the Institute goes way back to 1946 with the establishment of the Iligan City National High School (ICHS). In 1956, the ICHS was converted into the Lanao Technical School (LTS) under the Bureau of Vocational Education (BEV). In 1965, RA 4626 converted LTS into the Northern Mindanao Institute of Technology (NMIT). However, this law was not implemented. On July 12, 1968, RA 5363 integrated LTS into the MSU System.

During the 62nd Meeting of the MSU Board of Regents on March 12, 1975, the first comprehensive reorganizational plan of the Institute was approved under BOR Resolution No. 894, Series of 1975. This plan made the Institute the first autonomous unit of the MSU System.

In the years that followed, MSU-IIT continually expanded and developed its academic programs. While doing so, it also enhanced research, infrastructure, and cultural activities.



Vision, Mission, and Objectives

SPC is top performing school

They did it again!

Being consistent with their high standards of teaching nursing in college, San Pedro College (SPC) has proven once again their excellence by producing more topnotchers in the nursing board exam. Consequently, this made the college more popular in the country being one of the best performing nursing schools.

The Professional Regulation Commission and Board of Nursing released the November 2008 Nurse Licensure Examination (NLE) result with three SPC topnotchers namely 5th placer Irisa Kriya T. Biag, Christopher A. Irorita 6th placer and Francis Gerwin U. Jalipa, 10th placer. Out of 877 board examinees, 803 passed the recent NLE with a national passing rate of 44.51 percent while the SPC passing rate is 92 percent.

Because of the consistency of the college in producing more topnotchers, San Pedro College in Davao City is recognized as among the top 6 performing nursing schools in the Philippines. The other top performing nursing schools come from the Luzon area.

The SPC also had a topnotcher during the September 2008 Medical Technology Licensure Examination through the person of Charlie A. Clarion, 10th placer. Its national passing rate was 65.98 percent while SPC’s passing rate for batch 2008 was 74.35 percent.

Another feather added on its cap is that SPC was also recognized as the top performing school of pharmacy in the Philippines during the Pharmacy Board Exam last January of this year garnering 56.05 percent as its national passing rate while SPC’s passing rate for batch 2008 was 87 percent.

Last month the Physical Therapy Department of SPC yielded a 10th placer through the person of Daniel P. Tan with a national passing rate of 52.3 percent while the college’s passing rate for batch 2008 was 100 percent.

To my alma mater and former clinical instructors in college, congratulations and keep up the good work! Ana Theresa F. Basilio

CBCP: Davao catholic school gets bomb threats (http://http://www.gmanews.tv/story/152085/CBCP-Davao-catholic-school-gets-bomb-threats)
03/10/2009 | 03:14 PM

MANILA, Philippines - A Catholic school in Davao City was forced to suspend classes Tuesday after receiving two bomb threats Monday, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines said Tuesday.

The CBCP Web site (www.cbcpnews.com) said the Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC) received the bomb threats through two phone calls.

“We are celebrating the Araw ng Davao next week and we are looking at the possibility that there are groups who want to undermine the peace and order," said HCDC President Dr. Ma. Iris Melliza.

She said the first call was received at 8:15 a.m., and the second at about 2 p.m., with both calls directed to the Finance Office.

Melliza said that as precautionary measures, the administration personnel, faculty and students were ordered to vacate the building.

Melliza also said she immediately made a call to some member schools of Davao Association of Colleges and Schools (DACS) to inform them of the bomb threats.

“We also have to warn them that we received bomb threats so that they can also prepare and heighten their security," she said.

Melliza said they couldn’t specifically point out the motives behind the bomb threats.

She said what happened in the campus is indeed a learning experience for the administration to further heighten security measures. - GMANews.TV

Tomale to represent Phils. to Intel Science and Engineering Fair
Written by Shari Faye Paleracio
Thursday, 05 March 2009

Jovani S. Tomale, a student of Davao City National High School-Region XI bagged the 2nd place for the Cluster 2 Physical Science, Individual Category in the 2009 DepEd-Intel Philippines Science Fair held at Subic Bay, Olongapo City last February 23-27, 2009.

Tomale outstaged 15 of the 17 other participants, winning the 2nd place, with his study entitled, A Mathematical Model Utilized on the Sex Determination of the Philippine Eagles (Pithecophaga jefferyi), an endangered specie of eagle.

“Winning is the least thing that I could ever imagine. The fact the competition was tough and my opponents’ studies were scholarly done. I guess it’s just a thing called beginner’s luck.” Tomale said.

Besting all regions in the Philippines, Tomale, who was also recipient of the Intel Excellence in the Computer Science Award, will represent the country in the upcoming Intel Science and Engineering Fair that will be held in Reno, Nevada this May 10-16, 2009.

Ateneo team bags 2nd in Smart Sweep
03/06/2009 - 20:07 Monday, March 16, 2009
Print Email Comment Subscribe


A STUDENT team from the Ateneo de Davao University placed second last Saturday in a nationwide contest of mobile solutions to help communities deal with disasters.

The Ateneo de Davao team of Charese Olmoguez, Ann Marie Rosells Balinas, and Flora May dela Cruz had as mentor, engineer Marloue Pidor. They placed second in the 5th Smart Wireless Engineering Education Program (Smart Sweep) Innovation and Excellence Award held Saturday at the SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

The team submitted a system for search and rescue management in the Davao Gulf using global positioning system (GPS) and geographic information system (GIS) data.

The Ateneo de Davao team won P300,000 for themselves and another P300,000 in grants for their school.

Ateneo schools dominated the Smart Sweep Innovation and Excellence Award with Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) taking the first and third places.

Winning the top prize was a a student project that uses social networking, short message service (SMS) and Smart Communications Inc.'s money transfer to gather relief goods for communities hit by disasters.

The ADMU student team won P500,000 for themselves and P500,000 in grants for their school.

The ADMU team of Marc Ericson Santos, Aldrin Khan, Carlos Miguel Lacson and Marty Peterson Tan was mentored by Ronell Sicat. The team created an integrated system that allowed people not only to donate online but to also invite friends in their social network to donate to their communities of choice. The system also tracks the donations.

Winning third place was a student project that made use of Smart's person location service to provide information on flooding through SMS, multimedia messaging service (MMS) and the Internet. The team won P150,000 for themselves and another P150,000 in grants for their school.

The Smart Sweep is an annual contest among engineering schools that have partnered with Smart. The projects must provide mobile solutions to help communities deal with disasters.

Mon Isberto, head of Smart's public affairs group, said the contest focuses on that theme because the company feels that more can be done to help communities deal with disasters.

While none of the projects submitted in the five staging of the contest have been commercialized, the prize money has helped winning schools upgrade or purchase teaching equipment.

Maria Magdalena Gatdula, an adviser of the Bulacan State University (BSU), said her school was able to purchase LCD projectors, PC sets, laptops and licensed software using the P500,000 in grants that they won in the 3rd Smart Sweep.

The win two years ago, Gatdula said, inspired BSU students that the school typically gets 30 project proposals from students whenever Smart Sweep opens. The proposals are then culled because each school is limited to 10 entries.

Gatdula said most of the proposals submitted by the students also serve as their thesis projects.

Isberto said the panel defense component of the contest helps prepare engineering students for work, where they have to give presentations to their managers and other company officials. (MTL)

Korean language contest held at Kor-Phil center
by JMD Abangan

Davao City (19 March) -- Korean language trainees of the Korea Philippines (Kor-Phil) Vocational Training Center yesterday pitted against each other's skills in Korean language speaking skills in the first-ever Korean speech and singing contest.

Korean language training volunteer Sora Kim in an interview Wednesday morning said she had thought of such contest to give trainees a chance to show off their skills in speaking and using Korean language.

"It is also part of appreciating our culture," she said.

The event wasn't just a scholastic exercise but it was meant to award the best who showed excellence in speaking and singing in Korean among the present batch of 40 trainees.

Kim said the Korean speech contest winner would bag P10,000 and the 1st runner-up would get P5,000 while the winner in the singing contest brought home P3,000.

While explaining that Korean language is part of the technical vocational curriculum of Kor-Phil, Kim said that trainees who have acquired Korean language proficiency would have a high chance of getting employed in Korea.

"They would then be on the waiting list of POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration)," she said.

Meanwhile, Kim bared the Korean Food Festival held Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 12 noon came as a sidelight event of the Korean Speech and Singing Contest which was held in the afternoon of the same day.

She said some people in the Davao community had been invited to grace the food festival other than the Korean language trainees, for them to experience and appreciate the Korean culture.

"Everyone likes to eat. It's a way of making them experience our culture," she said.

The Korean Food Festival featuring a variety of Korean best cuisine was held for the second time yesterday at the Kor-Phil Vocational Training Center located at Buhisan, Tibungco, Davao City. (PIA XI/) [top]

il watch out of this..Go Mindanao..prove that Debating is not just about Manila schools..

Yeah!!! Go Mindanao! Go IIT! :banana:

il watch out of this..Go Mindanao..prove that Debating is not just about Manila schools..

Last year, it was the battle between 2 eagles sa finals, Ateneo de Zamboanga University versus Ateneo de Manila University. And now... it's MSU-IIT's turn to bring Mindanao's torch to the highest level. Go IIT!

^^ It shows that Mindanao has one of the best debaters in the country. Untapped lang gyud ta diri coz they have the spotlight in Manila. Grabe gyud ta diri og "pama-ba og pangotok". :cheers:

Last year, it was the battle between 2 eagles sa finals, Ateneo de Zamboanga University versus Ateneo de Manila University. And now... it's MSU-IIT's turn to bring Mindanao's torch to the highest level. Go IIT!

yes..its a battle of Metro Manila and Mindanao din..

sana Mindanao will make it now.its a good break for IIT considering that IIT is new comer in the Debate Union..

Mindanao Parliamentary Debate Union was founded by four debate institutions: ADDU, XU, ADZU and MSU-M. They are the four founding schools of the union. The union was founded in 2001. Father Saturnino Urios U and SPU-Surigao joined the union in 2004, WMSU and MSU-GenSan in 2005, MSU-IIT in 2006, NDMU and BSU in 2007, ADZU-HS in 2008, and ADDU-HS and LSU was the newest member who joined the union in 2009.

I hope one day, MIndanao will make a single college and inter-school league where all Mindanao's colleges and universities will be able to show their struts in the various athletic and extra-curricular activities in order to revitalize the "varsity" development of other schools. That's why we lack so much against these "perennial" national champions is because we have no "arena" where we can show our struts. That's why the majority of Mindanao's talents are wasted.

ah..the like of NCAA or UAAP?

ah..the like of NCAA or UAAP?

Of course, every city already has their own league but we need a yearly league that will develop talents into another level. And the best of Mindanao should be put together in one league to estimate their abilities and to realize on what level of their "goals" have they gone up to.

UAAP and NCAA are widely recognized na gyud but member number is too small and new membership is hard coz we are far from them. We need a bigger league that would showcase the national talents. A Mindanao-wide, Visayas-wide, Luzon-wide and then the national league that would showcase all talents from these regions.

i think there are existing..for private schools we have PRISAA Meet..while for public and state-owned institutions we have the MASCUF Meet..

I was able to watch frankahan last night and it was a close fight between MSU-IIT and ADMU. The motion was "This house believes that libel should be decriminalized."

IIT took the government side and as far as I can remember, they were trying to focus on their argument that libel as a criminal case can be a form of harassment to the media. The journalists are the most affected individuals in terms of libel since they have the greatest tendency to misinform or mislead anyone with each article that they publish. In lieu with that, they are the primary people filed with libel. And commonly, politicians are the usual subjects of their write ups that are perceived to be powerful and can put any journalist behind bars. As raised, FG Arroyo has filed hundreds of cases against media practitioners who exposed the anomalies that allegedly was done by him. So IIT wanted to point out that instead of a criminal case, it would be much better to just turn libel into a civil case. If one is maligned, he has still the power to file a civil case and let the accused pay the damages done if proven guilty. Lastly, they asserted that libel should not be categorized as a criminal act as it does not pose a threat to the state but only to the specific person involved. And considering that each member of the society has different perception on matters, what may be libelous to you may not be libelous to me.

On the other hand, ADMU pointed out that the government has defeated their point of turning libel into a civil case to avoid harassment to media practitioners or to anybody who is accused to have done it. Why? A civil case still involves court proceedings and it is still a form of harassment considering that one has to submit himself for a subpoena and all... So what's the difference? The stress is still there. And with regards to the true essence of a criminal case, they questioned the idea of the government since a criminal act is measured not with how many people are affected but with the impact that it causes to the society. If one really has the malicious intent to destroy the name of a person, this would not only affect that person but all those people who will be misinformed or mislead. The fact that it will cause confusion to the public, chaos can still happen thus it can still pose a threat to the state. And what does a civil case do? The most that it can get is fine. And how much does the present constitution impose as a fine to those who are guilty of libel. A meager P6,000? Rich media companies could always pay that and would not even dare to look back.

On the weaker side...

MSU did not really emphasize that a civil case is enough for libel. That they failed to substantiate. They could have presented that while libel should be decriminalized, it should at the same time impose a greater amount of fine based on the degree of damage done. They failed to address the fact presented by ateneo that a meager six thousand pesos is not enough to turn anybody down who has really the intent to malign a person or an institution.

ADMU as suggested by one of the adjudicators failed to define the importance of imprisonment, on why should it be imposed to anyone who has done libelous acts.

Generally, it was a good debate and I felt the adrenaline running through the arteries and veins of both teams. I am glad that IIT gave ADMU a tough fight. The blue eagles were even shocked when they knew that they won through a thin margin considering that the best speaker was given to IIT's second speaker. Congratulations to IIT for a powerful discourse with one of the world's best debating schools.

at that end..for IIT its already an achievement..ADMU is already an established debate organization. They are ranked 7th in the debating world..

SC justice tells ADDU graduates to be mindful of their civic duties
Mindanao Times
March 27, 2009

Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has urged over a thousand college graduates of Ateneo de Davao University to learn their civic duties as this will increase good governance.

Carpio, who on the March 21 commencement rites of the school, reminded the graduates on what the Filipino citizens’ civic duties are, adding that as citizens of the country they stick to the truth because there can be no good governance without the truth.

The University conferred on Carpio the Honorary Doctorate of Laws during its commencement exercises that marked the 57th year for School of Arts and Science, ninth of the School of Business and Governance, and fifth for the College of Nursing.

The conferment was in recognition of his outstanding service and record in the legal profession, in government as Chief Presidential Legal Adviser and as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and in private practice as a respected teacher, law practitioner and Managing Partner of a leading firm.

Carpio encouraged his fellow Ateneans to participate in the governance of the country and to participate in the forthcoming election.

Carpio was born in Davao City and studied grade school (1962) and high school (1966) at the Ateneo de Davao. He had his collegiate education at the Ateneo de Manila University (AB Major in Economics, 1970). He graduated cum laude and class valedictorian at the College Law, University of the Philippines (1975), and placed sixth at the 1975 bar examinations.

Citing the recent US election, Carpio said one emotional thing that happened in America was the participation of those who did not vote before.

“It is the duty of every Filipino to participate in the electoral process and as citizens of the country your must express your right of suffrage,” he told the graduates.

Carpio also told the graduates to be vigilant and against corruption. “Every citizen must be vigilant in order to prevent any abuses of government officials,” he said.

He also reminded the graduates to respect the fundamental rights of fellow citizens and to be fair in dealing with others.

Lastly, he told them that they are needed in the country in order to sustain development. He said with the best education given them by the Ateneo, they, too, have good ideas and can come up with solutions that could be implemented.

The Ateneo de Davao University during the same occasion conferred to Rev. Robertn C. Hogan, S.J., former chair of the Theology Division and member of the Ateneo de Davao Jesuit community, the Archbishop Clovis Thibault Award in recognition of his quiet life as a Jesuit teacher and priest, especially his unselfish concern for the poor and disadvantaged through the Daily Bread feeding program and his many personal charity works and his work in support of the Christian Life Communities.

The Philippine Catholic Lay Mission was also given the Jess and Trining Dela Paz Award in recognition of the group’s generous and dedicated participation of the Church by preparing and sending lay missionaries within and outside the Philippines to preach the Gospel and assist and serve God’s people.

Leading this year’s graduates are Trishan Krissel D. Wee, B S Nursing, valedictorian, Division and Program Awardee and Maria Ilsea W. Salvador, AB Philosophy, salutaturian, Division and Program Awardee and the Faith and Justice Awardee while James Earl S. Chew, AB Political Science, got the Leadership Award.

The other Division and Program Awardees are Lindelle Paul L. Anos, Accountancy and Management Accounting, Kristelle Brooke Dianne B. Jarabelo, Business Administration, Krystel Mae M. Labio, Computer Science, Menchie T. Egos, Engineering and Architecture, Ian DJ D. Gencianeo, Humanities, Cathy C. Carpentero, Natural Science and Mathematics and Carl Michelle T. Ong, Social Science and Education.

For his part, Fr. Antonio S. Samson, S.J., president of Ateneo de Davao, told the fresh graduates to make use of the good education given them.”

My prayers are with you that you may find suitable employment.

There will be challenges in quest for excellence but all of these you must face in the name of the Glory of God,” he said.

He also said with Ateneo de Davao already on its 60th year, they continue to strive further in order to deliver the needed education that will make the Ateneo students become “Men and Women for Others.” Prix D. Banzon, PIA 11

DOST-UPMin Biotech Facility Launched

By Yas D. Ocampo
Scientists and officials at the University of the Philippines Mindanao said food alternatives and other products could come from bio-resources such as Sago, which are found in the forests of the island and are currently not cultivated in large scale quantities.During the launch of the DOST-UPMin Biotechnology Facility at the College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) UP Min Chancellor Gilda C. Rivero told reporters that bio-resources such as sago could be used instead for food sources and other products such as lactic acid and ethanol for bio-fuels.The time to conduct experiments on bio-resources such as Sago, she said, has been shortened because of a grant by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Philippine Council for Advanced Science and Technology Research and Development (PCASTRD).DOST approved a grant of P23 million for the UPMin Biotechnology Research Program and the establishment of a biotech facility about two years ago, according to an article at the University of the Philippines newsletter.

Dr. Dulce Flores, leader of one of the projects, said that the CSM is excited about the facility because it used to take 24 – 96 hours to produce one product, lactic acid, but now it can be reduced to 15 – 20 hours.Flores had told the newsletter that the project will create ‘value-added’ products such as lactic acid, ethanol, even bio-degradable plastics. “Sago is just the first, but other abundant indigenous resources like nipa, kaong, and some forest species ornamentals will be included in the program,” she added.The projects include: the conservation of sago palms growing in the forests of Mindanao and other places in the country, the study of their pests and natural friends, plant growth regulators from rhizobacteria, and the micro-propagation of sago palms, among others.PCASTRD Executive Director Reynaldo V. Ebora described sago as a viable alternative food source although it isn’t as popular as corn and other food crops.He added that it could actually be an alternative “famine food,” answering questions by reporters about alternative food sources that Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte is advocating and said will be funding.

DOST Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro, on the other hand, praised UP Mindanao’s efforts at biotechnology and said that academic institutions all over the country should encourage their students and faculty to conduct research on bio-resources to help alleviate dependence on non-renewable materials. Alabastro added that studies in biotechnology are being conducted in the different autonomous campuses like the studies on Agricultural biotechnology at UP Los Banos, applications in medicine at UP Manila, and studies on biofuels from microalgae at UPLB and UP Visayas, which include studies on freshwater and marine algae.

UP President Emerlinda R. Roman said that projects like this show how researches by the different degree programs are applicable to existing conditions in the country.“It is not just the degree programs that matter,” she said, “but how studies in their fields are applied to address the concerns of the country.”Roman said that although the campus is still struggling with its identity after 14 years of existence, there is a ‘strong footing’ in Science and biotechnology which could answer how UP Mindanao’s programs could address these challenges.“One possible thrust that the campus could consider is Mindanao studies,” she said, citing the interconnectedness of programs such as Anthropology, studies on indigenous food, as well as the said bio-resources found in Mindanao.

Sec. Alabastro also called on members of the UPMin faculty to avail of DOST scholarships under the Advanced S&T Human Resource Development Program for which the DOST has been provided by President Arroyo with an initial capital of P100 million (with another P100 million for the Commission on Higher Education). When the Program was included in the regular DOST budget starting in the year 2007, the annual budget for the Program has grown to more than P200 million per year, Sec. Alabastro said.

Chan. Rivero, in her closing remarks to the media, thanked PCASTRD Exec. Dir. Reynaldo Ebora, UP VPAA Amelia Guevara, and the PCASTRD Technical Panel for “shepherding” the project proposal to fruition.

TAGUM CITY -- Spikers from the University of Mindanao-Davao hacked out contrasting victories Saturday in the Mindanao leg of the 13th Nestea Fit Beach Volley National Circuit to assure themselves of a trip to sunny Boracay in May.

UM-Davao's Janice Arnaiz and Jennifer Conde turned back Holy Cross of Davao College's Mykah Ramos and Aiza Armacion in straight sets, 21-17, 21-16, to advance to the finals in the women's division at the Rotary Park Beach Volley Drome.

The 22-year-old Arnaiz, a fourth year student taking up Commerce with a major in management, is playing in her fourth Nestea beach volleyball championship where she gained semifinals and finals appearance to Boracay each time with different partners.

"I'm happy to be playing again in Boracay," Arnaiz said.

Then, less than an hour later, UM-Davao's Galileo Mascardo V and Paul John Saraga came from behind to stun Mahardika Institute of Technology's Mursaid Hadjirul and Mohammad Ali Maih, 18-21, 21-18, 16-14, to also reach the finals in the men's division.

This was the first time that Mascardo and Saraga are playing together yet they played cohesive ball in stopping the big-spiking due from Tawi-Tawi.

"We were really praying to win. Thank God we won the match," said Mascardo, who is seeing action in the Nestea beach volleyball tournament for the first time.

"We played hard and we were able to adjust from their aggressive play," added the 20-year-old Mascardo, a criminology student.

Saraga said he debuted in the Nestea event last year but his partnership with Serwin Dave Castillo produced only a fifth-place finish.

Now, he is looking forward to playing in Boracay for the first time. "I'm really happy that we won. We were up against a strong team but we beat them," said the 19-year-old Saraga in Filipino.

Also gaining a trip to Boracay is the tandem of Lourdilyn Catubag and Jestine Carla Gonzales of the University of Mindanao-Tagum.

Catubag and Gonzales beat Lina Gampong and Adawia Gonzales, 17-21, 21-21, 15-12, in the other semifinal match. Catubag and Gonzales were to play Arnaiz and Conde in the finals scheduled in the afternoon.

Only the top three teams both in the women's and men's divisions will earn trips to the Boracay stage from May 6-9.

This year's sponsors are Ipanema, Speedo, Parkmall in Mandaue City, Cebu, L' Oreal Paris Elseve, Nautilus by PJ Aranador, Mikasa, D' Mall D' Boracay, Tagum Beach Vollley Drome at Rotary Park, Hey! Jude Resort, Boracay Mandarin Island Hotel, La Carmela de Boracay Resort Hotel and Crystal Sand Beach Resort.

A TOTAL of 209 athletes will represent the Davao Region to the National Prisaa (Private Schools Athletic Association) Championships set on April 19 to 25 in Naga City.

Davao Region Prisaa executive director Joaquin "Boy" Sarabia furnished Sun.Star Davao on Friday with the roster of athletes bound for the Naga finals.

Davao Region Prisaa president Pedro San Jose spearheaded the finalization of the delegation line-up during a board meeting held recently.

Davao, which usually ranks among the top three regions in the over-all standing during past nationals, is seeing action in men's and women's basketball, men's and women's chess, men's and women's lawn tennis, men's soccer, men's sepak takraw, men's and women's badminton, men's and women's table tennis, women's softball, men's and women's taekwondo, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's track and field and men's and women's volleyball.

UM Tagum's Anna Marie Teñajora and Jerryl Rondez will compete in the Search for the National Prisaa Mutya and vocal solo competitions, respectively.

While the main bulk of the region's delegates come from the University of Mindanao main campus, the rest are varsity mainstays from UM Tagum, Rizal Memorial Colleges, San Pedro College, Ateneo de Davao University, UM Digos, Holy Cross of Davao College, Agro-Industrial Foundation College, Brokenshire College, Davao Doctors College, DMMA College of Southern Philippines, Cor Jesu College, University of the Immaculate Conception and San Pedro College.

In a recent delegation briefing at the UM Matina Gym, Sarabia bared that they will depart on April 15 via a convoy of buses. (MLSA)

Yup it is, congratulations IIT :applause:

Not a bad maiden year in joining the Frankahan for IIT's debate varsity. On a split decision, I heard that the score between Ateneo de Manila U and IIT was so thin that it shocked the ADMU side considering also that the best speaker was awarded to IIT's 2nd speaker. Win or lose, IIT had nothing to lose, it's ADMU who's the defending champion and 7th ranked best debating school in the world. They would be the one who should maintain a good poise better against the neophytes. :)

Congratulations IIT! :okay:

I attended a very special ceremony at the Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan) last weekend.

My youngest brother graduated from college last Saturday, March 21, 2009. Yay! I’m really very proud of him.

He was one of the graduates who marched and received their diplomas in the afternoon (2nd batch).

The afternoon batch was composed of graduates from the colleges of Agriculture, Law, Engineering, Graduate School etc.

I haven’t attended a graduation ceremony in years so I was a bit worried that it might take a lot of time (I remember my college graduation took about 4 hours!). Thankfully, the Ateneo de Cagayan graduation ceremonies that day started on time (3:30 pm) and ended roughly 2 hours and a half later.

I had my own fair share of this last year and it was one of the happiest days in my life. Graduation is extra special if the diploma that you earn comes from a great school. :)

CHED grants UM Autonomous Status PDF Print E-mail
Written by Times Editors
Wednesday, 01 April 2009 03:58

THE COMMISSION on Higher Education (CHED) announced on March 17 that it has granted the University of Mindanao (UM) in Davao City an Autonomous Status.

In a letter to the UM President Guillermo P. Torres, Jr., CHED Chair Emmanuel Y. Angeles formally informed the university that the Commission en banc under Resolution No. 076-2009 has granted the University of Mindanao in Davao City the Autonomous Status for a period of five years from March 1, 2009 to March 14, 2014.

An Autonomous Status means that the school has qualified to the rigid standards of the CHED and recognized as one of the top colleges and universities in the country. With the recognition, the school becomes deregulated in its academic programs and bears quality education in the field of teaching and research. Only 64 schools were granted this status in the country. Currently, only two universities, including UM, are grantees of Autonomous Status in Region XI.

According to UM President Torres, "We are extremely happy with the recognition. The University of Mindanao is proud to be granted the recognition of an Autonomous Status, which is the highest recognition issued by the Government to any college or university. UM worked so hard for so many years to provide quality and affordable education to our students who come from poor families and assist in the growth and development of Davao City."

The University of Mindanao is the biggest privately-owned university in the entire island of Mindanao. It has a student population of 28,000 students with ten branches in the Davao Provinces. It is also a grantee of five Centers of Development by the CHED and has 66 programs accredited by the PACU-COA. The university was founded by the late Atty. Guillermo E. Torres, Sr. in 1946.

Aussie school impressed with Davao culinary students
Mindnao Daily Mirror
April 03, 2009

The Technical and Further Education New South Wales Southwestern Sydney Institute (TAFE NSW SWSI) has currently 120 students studying in the Philippines and 52 of them are enrolled with the Joji Ilagan Foundation, College of Business and Tourism (JIB) in Davao City.

The partnership between TAFE and JIB came after both signed an Educational Cooperation Agreement (ECA) in January 2008 in Sydney allowing JIB school to issue Certificate 111-Commercial Cookery of TAFE to its students.

The JIB students get the opportunity to get an Australian Diploma and Australian qualifications in Davao City since all the culinary course materials used by the school are furnished by TAFE to JIB.

Students enrolled in the cookery program are also accorded all the benefits given to international students at TAFE Sydney, from school ID cards, roll books and resource materials. The cost of the tuition here in Davao City is almost 1/3 of the education cost in Sydney.

TAFE NSW SWSI is the biggest Vocational Education and Training (VET) government school in Sydney with nine campuses and over 10,000 students, while the JIB is a leading hotel and tourism management school in the Davao City equipped with modern facilities.

The course trainers at JIB have passed the TAFE’s assessment qualifying them to become TAFE trainers.

The Training Director of this course is German Master Chef Mike Oberle who has an extensive experience of over 20 years as Executive Chef in big hotels worldwide.

The graduates will have the opportunity to migrate and work in Australia and bring with them their parents if they are single, or their family if they are married, provided they are below 45 years old.

JIB chair Joji Ilagan-Bian recently met with Christine Williamson, Institute Director of TAFE Tourism and Hospitality who was in the Philippines last December 8 , 2008 to evaluate the performance of the students.

Bian said Williamson was very pleased with the quality of work that the TAFE students in Davao City are doing.

The latest visit was made by Anne Thomson, TAFE Head Teacher Hospitality who met with Bian last March 14 in Manila.

Bian discussed with her the forthcoming work place experience of the Davao students and the series of catering and functions that the students did as part of the requirement of the Australian curriculum. Thomson was very impressed upon seeing the pictures and the reports of the students who are taking the TAFE course in Davao City.

Bian however expressed dismay and disappointment that the TAFE Directors are prohibited from visiting Davao City to meet with the Davao City TAFE students based on the travel advisory issued by the Australian government prohibiting Australian nationals to travel to any point in Mindanao.

The Cert 111 Commercial Cookery will start its 2nd batch on June, this year and JIB is now accepting reservations due to limited slots.

Mylene Amerol-Macumbal: Bar topnotcher in her own right

Written by Kimberly Joyce Veloso
iligan.gov.ph (http://www.iligan.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2439&Itemid=1)

ILIGAN CITY—Observers couldn’t help but notice: the difference in the scores of the first and second placers in the 2008 bar exams, whose results were released Friday night, was an itsy bitsy 0.05%.


So after learning who the topnotcher was (Judy Lardizabal of San Sebastian, with 85.70%), the next question by bar watchers was, naturally, who’s Mylene Amerol-Macumbal?

That she’s a Maranao who reviewed for the bar while fasting during the Ramadan is the most interesting anecdote that Newsbreak gathered from an interview with her. Mylene, however, is much more than that. It seems that, all her life, she has been prepared to achieve the feat, and that “It will be an accident if she fails the bar,” as one of her law professors says.

Everything seems to come or happen in twos in Mylene’s life. She finished BS Accountancy and later Law both at the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT). She finished both courses magna cum laude. She ranked well in the licensure exams for both professions—18th in the 2002 exams for certified public accounts, and 2nd in the 2008 bar exams. She’s married to another lawyer, Municipal Trial Court Judge Arassad Macumbal (in Bacolod, Lanao del Norte).

In fact, if her father—the late Bureau of Internal Revenue Regional Director Tommy Amerol—had finished his law studies, Mylene would have only been the second accountant-lawyer in the family.

The inspiration to become a lawyer came from her father. Mylene, the only girl among four children, says her father was in law school, but the demands of his work as BIR examiner (he was assigned in San Pablo City in Laguna, where Mylene was born) and raising a family prevented him from pursuing the course further. Mylene, meanwhile, was reading her father’s law books as early as age 10.

So when the family heard the good news of her placing second in the bar exams around 8:30 p.m. last Friday—her husband was shouting for joy—Mylene missed her father. “I wished he was here to celebrate with us.”

Her mother, businesswoman Nora Ibrahim, felt the same. She couldn’t describe the happiness she felt for Mylene, but imagined that her husband would have been very proud of their daughter.

Now that she practically topped the bar exams, Mylene is more contented than regretful.

“I’m just happy I made it. I wasn’t expecting [to be in the top ten], but nangandoy ko (I aspired for it),” she shares with Newsbreak. Out of the 6,364 who took the bar last year, only 1,310 (or 20.58%) passed.

Mylene says her undergraduate studies in accountancy was her best preparation for one of the toughest subjects in the bar exam—taxation. “You cannot cram everything you learned in just six months [of review],” she explains.

Although she constantly updated herself with the latest cases and laws and made a systematic schedule of her review, but she still feared that she wasn’t prepared enough. Add to that the fact that Ramadan, the month-long fasting observed by the Islamic faithful once a year, fell within the period of Mylene’s reviews for the bar exams.

Mylene, a devout Muslim, says the hunger she felt while fasting somehow took its toll on her, but that she coped by praying to Allah.

“You have to surrender yourself to His will,” she says. “You need to remember the will of Allah. If it is not meant for you, then it will never be yours.”

Mylene’s mentors in the College of Law and the College of Business Administration and Accountancy at MSU-IIT were very confident that she would succeed.

“Maayo jud na siya (She is very skillful). It will be an accident if she fails the bar. I was 99 percent certain she would pass. She writes well and has a good analytical mind,” Attorney Rejoice Subejano, one of Mylene’s law professors, says.

“She is not only smart, but she is also diligent. When I call her to recite, she can always answer the question. She is also always at the top of the class,” says Prof. Jahara D. Ibrahim, her college instructor for the taxation course.

“She is so intelligent, but she is very humble. I expected her to pass the bar easily; I knew she would make it to the top 10,” relates Prof. Griselda Z. Albao, her fellow faculty member at the Department of Accountancy in CBAA. She says Macumbal manages her time well and is a favorite among students. Macumbal worked as an instructor for two years before going full-time in law school.

Mylene was the class valedictorian when she graduated from the College of Law. She was also editor in chief of Nexus, the school paper of the College of Law, and an active officer of the student government during her college days.

Mylene’s accomplishment in the bar exams is a first for the Iligan extension of the MSU College of Law. In 1997, Allan Exclamador, ranked ninth place in the bar exams. He came from the main MSU campus in Marawi City.

Mylene is pleased with her accomplishment, and she wants to believe it has proven two things: that MSU-ans can do it, and that the Bangsamoros are just as capable as anyone else.

“It’s a prestigious profession, especially among Maranaos and Muslims. It may entail a lot of responsibilities, but it will help many people. Also, it brings respect and a sense of pride to the family,” she says.(Newsbreak)

The expected participants are member countries of ASEAN, Pacific Islands Forum, including Australia, China, Japan, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Azerbaijan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States and Austria.

In 2008 there were two participants from the Philippines and one is originally from Davao City. The non-degree scholarship is going to last for three months in an art center either in Bandung, West Java; Denpansar, Bali; Solo, Central Java; or Yogyakarta.

The participants will learn Indonesian traditional arts and culture in one of the art centers. Indonesian government will shoulder tuition fees (including extra-curricular activities), a round trip economy class plane ticket, accommodation (board and lodging), health insurance and Rp1,500,000 (about P6,300) monthly allowance.

One of the program’s aims is to advance the socio-cultural cooperation in the region, which is hoped to encourage better understanding among awardees of participating countries. The government also intends to establish direct contact and share of culture among the partici-pants, which would lead to the thriving of diplomatic relations in the region and worldwide.

Interested applicants could download the application form through www. deplu.go.id. Candidates may also seek more infor-mation in the Indonesian Consulate General in Davao City and they are expected to complete all requirements by May 8 at the latest to F.

Davao tankers salvage bronzes
in Nat’l PRISAA championships
Mindanao Daily Mirror
April 23, 2009

NAGA CITY––Davao Region’s tankers could salvage only four bronzes at the start of the National PRISAA Championships last Tuesday at the Metro Naga Sports Complex in Brgy. Pacol.

Haroon Cali of the University of Mindanao won a bronze medal in the 200-meter butterfly event while Isidro Penales, Junie Barani, Rey Coberos and Cali teamed up for another bronze in the men’s 4x50-meter relay.

Shahani Navarro, Angelie Zuniga, Analie Rodriguez and Rodora Atienza, all from UM, settled for the bronze medal in the women’s relay while the group of Joyfe Tumulac, Zapphire Urtado of San Pedro College, Shiella Mae Esmale and Kris Vargas of DMMA College of Southern Philippines added another bronze medal performance in the 4x100-meter relay.

At the Ateneo de Naga University, light-weight Marija Catague defeated Maree Pacson of Central Luzon to advance to the next round but finweight Marlon Cruzpero lost to Raffy Futolan of Central Mindanao.

The sepak takraw squad braved the heat of the sun to wallop Central Luzon, 2-0 to start on a high note while the baseball team showed too much firepower in beating Western Mindanao, 15-1 behind the home run of Rogue Emiliano of UM-Tagum in the second inning. “Natsambahan lang gud,” said Emiliano.

The women’s basketball also showed no mercy in thrashing Central Visayas, 77-42 with Geraldine Villa and Lorelaine Gestopa leading the charge with 20 points, each. Charissa Mae Cuevas and Ma. Christina Lantion joined as double-digit scorers with 10 points, apiece.

The women’s volleyball team whipped Ilocos Region, 25-15, 25-23, 25-13 at the Universidad de Sta.Isabel covered court.

Islamic group, MSU vow to strengthen cooperation (http://mb.com.ph/articles/204051/islamic-group-msu-vow-strengthen-cooperation)
By EDD K. USMAN

With a warm handshake, World Islamic Call Society Philippine representative Secretary Muhammad E. Elballushi and Mindanao State University president Dr. Macapado A. Muslim vowed to strengthen their cooperation for the benefit of the education of Filipinos, particularly the Bangsamoro people.

As this developed, Elballushi invited Muslims to visit Libya and learn more about WICS programs.

WICS is a Libyan-based international humanitarian and relief organization with many offices around the world, including Manila, where it has a number of peace and development-related projects.

While MSU is the largest State university in the country, with over 70,000 students in its campuses in Mindanao and has been placing prominently, even topping, many board exams.

One of MSU’s alumni, lawyer Mylene Amerol Macumbal, placed a very close second to the 2008 Bar topnotcher.

Meanwhile, Elballushi also paid a tribute to Muslim through a dinner reception in Makati City last Monday attended only by few select invitees from WICS, MSU and Libyan People’s Bureau (Embassy), and the Office on Muslim Affairs (OMA).

Among the few invited were Prof. Dr. Lomala Dimaro of MSU’s King Faisal Center for Islamic and Arabic Studies; Prof. Nazarollah Macalandong, MSU vice president for Administration and Finance; Dr. Kamal Abubesha of the Libyan Embassy; Mansour Muhammad Sharief (son of WICS Secretary General Dr. Ahmad Muhammad Sharief), who is about to finish his Master of Business Administration in the Philippines; Dr. Abdulhusin M. Kashim, president of the Institute for the Study of Peace in Islam (ISPI); Hadja Rueda Ebos-Usman, chief of the Shari’a Training and Education Division of OMA’s Bureau of Muslim Cultural Affairs (BMCA), and others.

I have been looking for a website or any information on Southern Philippines College in Cagayan De Oro but have not been able to find much of anything. Any information would be appreciated.

congrats XU. youre reputation preceeds you

@mike How many are you basing on your estimate ang nag oathtaking? Is this for CDO passers only or there are some nurses from different areas?

The oathtaking last April 27 at LKK includes all board passers from Northern Mindanao. And there are from other regions too who decided to have their oath here. As for the total number of registered nurses who had their oath here, unfortunately I don't have the figures. I can only speak for XU which is 336. Two topnotchers came from Xavier University and two from Misamis University, Ozamis City. As for SSC-Cagayan de Oro, three forumers had their oath. Taegon, A.Einstein (soon to be SSC forumer), and yours truly. :)

UPMin conducts Intensive
Visual Media Training
Mindanao Daily Mirror
May 14, 2009

The UP Mindanao Department of Social Sciences (DSS) conducted an Intensive Visual Media Training in collaboration with the New York-based Organization for Visual Progression (OVP). Iben Triño-Molenkamp and Benjamin Ray Foley, co-directors of OVP, were the lead resource persons in the training last April 27 to May 10.

According to Triño-Molenkamp, the training is designed to provide the participants with basic and advanced skills in visual documentation that address social issues and problems. Hands-on experience with video cameras and film editing software (Final Cut Pro) are some of the highlights of the training. To further enrich the learning process, screenings of video documentaries are held for the participants during evenings.

This training is part of the Anthropology Summer Field School which is composed of nine incoming senior BA Anthropology students, young professionals from the NGO sector and students from other schools. The theme for this year's Field School is “Urban Anthropology”, with Barangays 23-C and Lasang, Davao City as field areas.

The participants conducted their video production phase at Barangay 23-C, Davao City, a place commonly called as “mini-forest”. Using video cameras and microphones, the participants documented social issues in the area, particularly food security, sanitation, women development and inter-ethnic relationships. A public screening will be held at Isla Verde, Barangay 23-C after the participants have completed their post-production and finalized their individual video documentary projects

MSU upgrades with P7.7-M computers (http://mb.com.ph/node/200786)
By BONG M. REBLANDO

MARAWI CITY — Mindanao State University (MSU) has spent P7.7 million to buy 100 laptop computers and desktops and is increasing internet link bandwidth to speed up cyberspace connections and make MSU at par with the latest global technology used in other universities.

Worth P2.3 million, this top-of-the-line laptop computers were distributed to all colleges, academic chairpersons, dean of colleges and university officials, said Dr. Macapado Muslim, MSU System president.

Earlier, the university purchased desktops for its four colleges, as part of efforts to modernize the school’s computerization program and upgraded the catalog system of the main library and digital library.

Last year, Dr. Muslim revealed, MSU also spent P4 million to improve facilities of the Information College Technology (ICT) using the local funds of the university, as part of the school’s computerization program.

And to complete its modernization program, the university is increasing its bandwidth capacity to make the internet connection much faster in accordance with international standards.

“We have just bid out the multimillion peso bandwidth to enable the university increase the volume capacity of internet users with a top speed internet connection,” Dr. Muslim said in an interview.

Already, with a student population of 15,000, MSU has embarked on fully computerizing the university’s enrolment system, which would be completely enhanced by these latest moves to upgrade the bandwidth and internet link connection.

Once in place, MSU is expected to generate increased revenues in the College of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and three other colleges, as well as, the Main Library and the Digital Library.

Last year, local income of MSU reached a record high of P50 million. This is P1 million over the revenues earned during the last administration, while previous administrations posted negative growth.

USAid push English proficiency project (http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan-de-oro/usaid-push-english-proficiency-project)


SIX of Mindanao’s universities are partnering with USAID’s Growth with Equity in Mindanao (GEM) Program to improve the employability of the next generation of Mindanao graduates by expanding and enhancing the English language training capabilities of these universities.

GEM’s Job Enabling English Proficiency (JEEP) Project is designed to turn out graduates with the English language skills needed for productive employment in careers requiring reasonable proficiency in the language.

The six universities which have jointly launched JEEP are: Mindanao State University-Marawi, Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (Iligan), Capitol University (Cagayan de Oro), Western Mindanao State University, Bukidnon State University (Malaybalay, Bukidnon), and Zamboanga State College of Marine Science and Technology (Zamboanga City).

The JEEP Project will ultimately be implemented in 20 or more colleges and universities in Mindanao through partnerships between these institutions and the GEM Program, under the oversight of the Mindanao Economic Development Council. JEEP consists of a two-year group of courses offered to qualifying college students. The first course, known as ?JEEP-Start, is a one-year program offered as an elective to third year college students. It develops advanced General English skills through computer-assisted instruction supported by classroom extension. After successfully completing the first course, the students, now in their fourth year, may enroll in “JEEP-Accelerate”, another one-year course, which is taught through a classroom-based speech lab and internet-based learning. JEEP-Accelerate is intended to equip students with the specific English skills needed for jobs in such sectors as business process outsourcing, tourism, nursing, allied health services or the maritime industry.

It will prepare students to take international English tests as the gateway to overseas employment in these sectors.

Among the other GEM Program projects designed to prepare Mindanao’s future workforce for the global economy are its Computer Literacy and Internet Connection (CLIC) project, and its Education Awareness Support Effort (Ease).

The CLIC project has to date provided 4,750 internet-connected computers to 800 schools, and Ease has provided educational matching grants to help parent-teacher community associations establish mini-libraries, science laboratories or multimedia centers in 690 schools, in conflict-affected areas in Mindanao.

City public schools to get
internet connection by 2010
Mindanao Daily Mirror
May 29, 2009


All public schools in Davao City are expected to get internet connection by 2010, the city being the center for information technology (IT) hub in the region.

Lorenzo Mendoza, Department of Education (DepEd) regional supervisor and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) information officer, said the DepEd Internet Connectivity Project (DICP) started in 2003 for phase 1.

Public schools under phase 2 are given until the end of May 31 to complete connection.

Deadline for those under phase 3 is on August 31.

Mendoza said Department Order No. 50 s. 2009 provides the guidelines for the internet connective project that will connect all secondary schools in the country by school year 2009-2010.

He said based on the guidelines, schools are classified into: Group A – schools identified to belong to Cyber Corridor; Group B – schools which belong to municipal or city capital of the province; Group C – all other high schools not connected to the internet; and Group D – all other high schools connected to the internet via the Gearing Up Internet Literacy and Access to Students (GLAS) Project.

Schools that cannot be serviced with any of the wired and fixed wireless and even USB modem of the telecommunications companies shall be connected through satellite broadband internet service.

Schools without electricity shall also be given computers through an alternative ICT equipment to be deployed to their schools.

Mendoza said the Davao City public schools of 76 are expected full connectivity coverage by 2009.

Davao City is within the Cyber Corridor that traverses the other super regions from Baguio to Cebu and Davao, he added.

Mendoza said the facilities for connectivity here are available and Davao City is a priority area.

Of the 276 schools in the region, he said, they expect to cover only 40 percent with the funding component from the department of only P48,000 per school per year.

He said the DICP provides students from public schools access to the internet for wider field of research and other related information as well as link these students globally through comprehensive information that they could use to widen their information and knowledge. PNA

UP Mindanao gets biotech facility (http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=472904&publicationSubCategoryId=77)


MANILA, Philippines - A research program on indigenous bio-resources once made headlines by transforming the ubiquitous sago into a very promising income generator in Mindanao.

But sago is just the beginning. “Other abundant indigenous resources like nipa, kaong, and some forest species ornamentals will soon be included in the program,” according to Dr. Dulce M. Flores, project leader of a research program that aims to shorten the process and reduce the cost of producing “value-added” products such as industrial lactic acid, ethanol, and biodegradable plastics from starch.

To boost the project, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and UP Mindanao (UPMin) recently launched the DOST-UPMin Biotechnology Facility at UPMin’s College of Science and Mathematics in Davao City. The facility is expected to help Mindanao utilize its unused indigenous bio-resources for economic development.

“We feel very proud of this. This is a milestone for UP Mindanao,” UPMin Chancellor Gilda C. Rivero told media in a press conference.

She recounted how the project had been proposed almost two years ago. When the DOST approved a grant of P23 million for the UPMin Biotechnology Research Program and the establishment of the facility, UPMin was enabled to do more in-depth and advanced research work in biotechnology and has, at present, become a center of biotechnology in Mindanao. “We are now on our first year, and I think we’ve met [our] goals,” the chancellor reported.

According to Flores, sago was chosen for the initial phase of the project due to its abundance and high starch yield. The potential of sago to help in Mindanao’s economic development immediately captured the attention of program sponsors DOST and the Philippine Council for Advanced Science and Technology Research and Development (PCASTRD). During a press conference at the inauguration of the facility, PCASTRD Executive Director Reynaldo V. Ebora described sago as a viable food source that can serve as an alternative to corn and other local crops.

DOST Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro praised UPMin’s efforts at biotechnology and held it as an example of how the academe can help lessen the dependence on non-renewable materials.

Alabastro said UPMin has now become part of the network of older UP campuses involved in biotechnology research: UP Diliman, UP Manila, UP Los Baños, and UP Visayas - all of which have their own institutes of biotechnology. UPLB is focused on agricultural biotechnology, UPM on medical applications of biotechnology, and UPV on marine biotechnology.

Aside from extracting “value-added” products from sago, the UPMin biotechnology program has also embarked on an inventory of sago palms growing in the forests of Mindanao and other places in the country; the study of its pests, natural friends, and microbial growth regulators; and the micro-propagation of sago palms.

President Emerlinda R. Roman said projects like these prove that UPMin can do more than offer degree programs to help the country. At a time when UPMin is still grappling with its identity as a constituent university, it has embarked on research works tailored to fit the needs of its clientele. The strengthening of its Science and Technology capabilities is also in line with its mandate to apply UP expertise to the concerns of Mindanao. According to Roman, studies on indigenous food and bio-resources found in Mindanao fall under Mindanao studies, a broad field UPMin can excel in.

DAVAO. Ateneo de Davao debating team beat University of the Philippines Law team in the first Invitational IHL Debate at UP-Diliman in Quezon City on June 2. (Sun.Star Davao)

AdDU debating team beats UP

By Henrylito D. Tacio

WHEN lawyer Israelito P. Torreon and his team from the Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU) left Davao City on June 1, they never thought that God would answer their prayers: that of becoming champion in the first Invitational International Humanitarian Law Debate held at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City on June 2.

"Before we left, I told my students to believe that they will win," said Torreon, coach of the AdDU Law Debating Team and faculty member since 1999. "As Ateneans, we are prayer warriors; hence, we made it a point to pray before we competed. God answered our prayers. He is indeed great!"

It was the first time ever for the AdDU Law Debating Team to win the coveted prize, and the team was euphoric. "I was ecstatic and stunned at the same time, knowing that God really does answer prayers," Torreon said.

The debating team was composed of Kristine R. Ferrer, who is from San Francisco, Agusan del Sur, Vincent C. Juan from Tagum City, and Kristine Joyce A. Castrodes from Panabo City.

In the elimination rounds, Ferrer was chosen as best debater while Juan was second best.

A fourth-year law student, Ferrer is the president of the AdDU Law Forensic Association. Castrodes and Juan are both sophomore students. The only male of the team, Juan is considered as "a gifted and fluent debater."

Torreon described the three as "intelligent students. They were chosen based on merits and nothing else!"

Torreon conducted tryouts among members of the Ateneo Law Forensic Association that he himself organized in 2000. "The three were chosen not only because they are members of the association but (also) because they topped the tryouts," he said.

In May, Torreon received an invitation to join the humanitarian law debates sponsored by the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC).

"We were thrilled because the invitation itself is a validation that Ateneo de Davao is a force to reckon with in national law debate competitions," he said.

Eight universities-considered to be the best among the best-were invited to join the competition. These were the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila, Arellano University, University of Santo Tomas, Ateneo de Davao Law School, University of St. La Salle Bacolod, San Beda University, and University of San Carlos.

Torreon and his team had barely two weeks to prepare for the competition.
"We had only informal discussions," he admitted. "I conducted crash course on international law to the team, especially to the two incoming second year students as both had not taken international law yet as a subject."

What happened during the competition proper was an interesting story in itself. During the first round, Ateneo's opponent was Arellano University. The motion was: "This house believes that perpetrators of crimes against humanity should only be tried by international courts and not local courts."

By toss coin, Ateneo was opposition.

As expected, Ateneo routed Arellano. Next was University of Santo Tomas with the motion: "This house believes that the actions of Israel in Gaza strip do not violate international human laws." Ateneo, on the affirmative side, again won!

At the finals, Ateneo was up against University of the Philippines, which defeated Ateneo de Manila in the semi-finals. The motion was: "This house should urge the states to denounce the 1949 Geneva Conventions for being ineffective in protecting atrocities specifically in Afghanistan, Iraq and Georgia." By toss coin, the Ateneo was again the opposition. Finally, Ateneo emerged the winner.

The format of the debate was Australasia. The topic was given 30 minutes before the actual debate. Thirty minutes was also the time given for both sides to study and ponder. Each side has three speakers: first speaker for the government (or opposition), Prime Minister; second speaker is Deputy Prime Minister; and third speaker, the whip who summarized everything what had been said by the two speakers and pointed out the weaknesses of the other team.

As the country's top debaters, the team will be sent to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on June 12-14 to compete against the other bests in the region. With only few days to go, the team is doing their best to equip themselves with all the information they could.

"I instructed them to memorize the four Geneva Conventions and Protocols 1 and 2," Torreon said. "We will also meet together to review all decisions of the ad hoc international courts of Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone. We also need to review the decisions of the international criminal court of Hague, Netherlands and study current international issues such as in Israel, Darfur, and Somalia (on piracy), among others. Of course, we need to study also our very own Mindanao conflict where we have to review again the decision of our Supreme Court on Memorandum of Agreement in Ancestral Domain."

To all June 2009 examinees of NLE, may God bless you all!

P1.2B infra budget for UPMin pushed
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Print Email Comment Subscribe


THE House of Representatives is planning to appropriate P1.2 billion for the University of the Philippines (UP) Mindanao campus to finance its medium-term development.

It was learned that House Speaker Prospero Nograles and Deputy Speaker Simeon Datumanong filed House Bill (HB) 5946 to extend financial support to the university's Medium-Term Development Plan for 2009 to 2012 that focuses on infrastructure development.

Nograles said UP Mindanao must be supported with the infrastructure and resources it needs to fully fulfill its mandate.

"In view of its umbilical ties to the development efforts of Mindanao, it has to be supported by funds over and above what it normally shares in the Internal Operating Budget of the UP System as covered in the Annual Appropriations Act," Nograles said.

Under the bill, the budget for various projects for 2009 include P50 million for the construction of a school of management corporate building, P50 million for the construction of a students' dormitory, P50 million for concreting and landscaping of the university avenue, P150 million for the Mindanao Loop and Oblation Plaza, and P100 million for the construction of the UP Mindanao main library.

For 2010, P150 million was earmarked for the construction of a biotech facility for indigenous food resources and P150 million for the construction of a college of humanities and social science building.

For calendar year 2011, P55 million was allotted for the construction of a center for the advancement of research in Mindanao, P50 million for the construction of center for continuing education, and P250 million for the construction of a UP Mindanao Eco-habitat.

The bill also provides for the construction in 2012 of a UP Mindanao Eco-habitat Phase 2 pegged at another P250 million.

The amount needed to finance the implementation of this act will be included in the current year's national budget, and succeeding Annual General Appropriations Act. (Ben O. Tesiorna)

I hope the legislations creating the UP-Mindanao (Zamboanga College) will be approved..cant wait for it..

Robi went to Ateneo de Zamboanga University encouraging his fellow Atenista to participate and be part of the change this coming May 10, 2010 elections. :)

THE House of Representatives is planning to appropriate P1.2 billion for the University of the Philippines (UP) Mindanao campus to finance its medium-term development.

It was learned that House Speaker Prospero Nograles and Deputy Speaker Simeon Datumanong filed House Bill (HB) 5946 to extend financial support to the university's Medium-Term Development Plan for 2009 to 2012 that focuses on infrastructure development.

Nograles said UP Mindanao must be supported with the infrastructure and resources it needs to fully fulfill its mandate.

"In view of its umbilical ties to the development efforts of Mindanao, it has to be supported by funds over and above what it normally shares in the Internal Operating Budget of the UP System as covered in the Annual Appropriations Act," Nograles said.

Under the bill, the budget for various projects for 2009 include P50 million for the construction of a school of management corporate building, P50 million for the construction of a students' dormitory, P50 million for concreting and landscaping of the university avenue, P150 million for the Mindanao Loop and Oblation Plaza, and P100 million for the construction of the UP Mindanao main library.

For 2010, P150 million was earmarked for the construction of a biotech facility for indigenous food resources and P150 million for the construction of a college of humanities and social science building.

For calendar year 2011, P55 million was allotted for the construction of a center for the advancement of research in Mindanao, P50 million for the construction of center for continuing education, and P250 million for the construction of a UP Mindanao Eco-habitat.

The bill also provides for the construction in 2012 of a UP Mindanao Eco-habitat Phase 2 pegged at another P250 million.

The amount needed to finance the implementation of this act will be included in the current year's national budget, and succeeding Annual General Appropriations Act. (Ben O. Tesiorna)

It's just a blog...the author can do anything he/she wants, just he/she can post his/her own POV's in a certain topic. And that's the source, not CHED or PRC.

No official reference was given in http://www.alvindimla.com thus am not sure if this is official.

I think that WAS the official....an old 1999-2005 report though by CHED and PRC...for which then Urios College was not yet included

The joint study, published in 2005, looked into the performance of Philippine universities in the various national board examinations. The study ranked the universities based on the average passing in the national board examinations of all courses from 1999 to 2005.


in other words...that list posted above by Keith is bahaw..pan-os or dubok already :lol:

here is the recent list done in 2008 study...

This statistics is a result of the study conducted by the Professional
Regulations Commission (PRC) and the Commission on Higher Education
(CHED), based on the average passing in the BOARD EXAMINATIONS OF ALL
COURSES of all universities and colleges in the Philippines .

Eleven schools come from Luzon, two from the Visayas and seven from
Mindanao .

1. University of the Philippines (Diliman Campus / Luzon )
2. University of the Philippines (Los Banos Campus/ Luzon )
3. University of the Philippines (Manila Campus / Luzon )
4. Silliman University ( Dumaguete City / Visayas)
5. Ateneo de Davao University ( Davao / Mindanao )
6. Ateneo de Manila University ( Manila / Luzon )
7. University of Sto . Tomas ( Manila / Luzon )

for 2009....THERE IS NO Official 2009 Report yet ( as against that blog link has earlier cited )..So the 2008 Report still is in effect (for which FSUU ranks 14th)

.....for this year...CHED has come up of a revision of their ranking system....read the report below

Ched to come up with university ranking system
By Dennis Carcamo (philstar.com) Updated July 06, 2009 04:45 PM

MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Higher Education (Ched) will come up with a ranking system of the best schools in specific fields of study or discipline, an official said today.

“We may come up (with the ranking system) within the year,” said Ched executive director Julito Vitriolo said in a phone interview.

As of the moment, Vitriolo said Ched is now compiling the licensure examination results on different fields of study in various colleges and universities nationwide.

“We are now compiling the performances of each school in each discipline, which is mostly based on licensure results,” he said.

The results are now stored and collated by the Office of Ched's MIS.

Vitriolo also pointed out that currently, they could not come up with a ranking of the best overall higher learning institutions similar to the world university ranking system, THES-QS (The Times Higher Education-Quacquarelli Simmonds).

He said the problem is the lack of personnel who will look at the parameters and performance of every school.

“We have internal resources but we need a working group to look at the parameters,” he said.

At present, the Philippines has yet to come up with its own ranking system for colleges and universities.

Of the hundreds of colleges and universities in the country, only four – Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University and University of Santo Tomas – made it to the top 500 schools worldwide as ranked by THES-QS.

ambi nako official natong gi post ni keith... top 3 na akong school... pero possible man gihapon na ma top 5 kay lately halos naa sa top 10 ang mga top sa among board... mga eng, law, nursing... etc...

for 2009....THERE IS NO Official 2009 Report yet ( as against that blog link has earlier cited )..So the 2008 Report still is in effect (for which FSUU ranks 14th)

UST isn't any better than DLSU or AdMU. If anything, it's worse than either schools.
