UP MANILA statement on the JULY 17 COURTZONE shooting incident

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 08:09:00 +0000

This is an OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE prepared by the
Information, Publication, and Public Affairs Office (IPPAO)
Telefax: 302-2215 / 554-8400 loc. 3842

UP MANILA statement on the JULY 17 COURTZONE shooting incident

UP Manila wishes to allay the fears of the public, particularly its students and their parents, on the shooting incident between two security guards that happened yesterday, July 17, 2012, at the Court Zone badminton court in Paco. The University assures that it is in full control of the situation and has exerted additional measures to tighten security in and around its premises.

UP Manila is issuing this statement on the incident that alarmed UP Manila students and their PE teacher who were holding classes at the said badminton court at that time. Seeking refuge in the restroom, the students and the teacher were fetched shortly by the CAS Administrative Officer in a UP vehicle and brought back safely to the UPM campus.

CAS Dean Reynaldo Imperial, in the initial incident report, said that pending investigation of the case and results on the ocular assessment of the place, PE classes in the above badminton court have been temporarily suspended. He has also asked the CAS Associate Dean Dr. Alex Gonzaga to review the policies on holding off-campus PE classes.

UPM Chief Security Officer Major Florendo Alejo said that the security officers are still getting the full details on what really happened and denied previous rumor of a hostage taking incident. He added that since the shooting happened outside the campus, it is not within the UPM administration’s jurisdiction. To beef up security at the said premise and other outside locations where PE classes are being held, additional guards can be requested and deployed. Coordination can also be made with the chiefs of security in these places through UPM’s Good Neighbors Initiative project.

Due to space limitations, some PE classes at UP Manila are being held in nearby facilities outside the University campus. But with the increasing spate of random crimes around the vicinity that alarm and threaten the safety and security of its students and teachers, the incident provide the UPM administration a good reason to review the policy on holding classes outside the secured campus.

UPM-DSS, University of Southern California hold Global Summer Immersion Program in Manila

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky) — Thu, 31 May 2012 04:52:00 +0000

From the Department of Social Sciences

The Department of Social Sciences of the University of the Philippines Manila and the School of Social Work of the University of Southern California have partnered for this year’s Global Summer Immersion Program in the Philippines on June 3 to 17, with the theme, “Modern Day Slavery: Combating Human Trafficking in the Philippines.” This year’s batch is composed of 21 graduate students of Social Work and 4 practitioners from USC.

Being under chronic crisis and poverty, the illegal trade of human beings for sexual exploitation or forced labor has long been a problem in the country. More and more Filipinos fall prey to human trafficking due to lack of employment and worsening economic conditions, exacerbated further by government corruption and neglect.

The program seeks to explore and compare social action and social change strategies used in the United States and the Philippines to curb human trafficking activities. UPM-DSS and USC partnered with government agencies, non-governmental and people’s organizations, and other international institutions to see how policy and social services are coordinated to rein in human trafficking.

Introducing the UP Visiting Professor program

noreply@blogger.com (Ricky) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 00:39:00 +0000

Original post http://www.up.edu.ph/features.php?i=519

UP is inviting foreign-based Filipino and foreign professors and researchers to spend one to two months in UP to team teach courses, mentor graduate students, and collaborate in research and creative work with UP faculty and researchers. Under the UP Expanded Modernization Program, UP is launching the UP Visiting Professor Program in order to increase the number of mentors for young faculty and graduate students working on their MS, PhD or postdoctoral degrees, as well as improve and encourage the culture of research among its faculty.

UP invites you to participate actively in the development of UP as a research university. UP will provide support for air travel and a living allowance.

The UP Visiting Professor will be invited by (or matched with) a counterpart UP faculty researcher as a research collaborator, co-teacher of graduate courses and advanced undergraduate courses, and co-mentor or co-supervisor of MS, PhD or postdoctoral students. A work plan will be created to build and support the research collaboration and the research group consisting of the visiting professor, the UP faculty researcher and their graduate students.

The UP Visiting Professor is also encouraged to provide the UP faculty researcher and their graduate students the opportunity to visit his/her university and work in his/her laboratory if research funding is obtained. UP will provide support for a one- to two-month stay in the Philippines each year, for the roundtrip airfare and a reasonable living allowance. The UP Visiting Professor will be provided office space, keep a regular full schedule, and be given the opportunity to team teach courses, discuss research projects with graduate students, and train them to develop research concepts and methodologies, and write grant proposals and papers for publication.

An official appointment will be given to the UP Visiting Professor so that he/she becomes part of the UP’s faculty roster and thereby contributes to UP’s internationalization and international ranking. Moreover, research agreements, sandwich graduate programs or joint-degree granting programs between the UP Visiting Professor’s university and UP, with the UP Visiting Professor and the UP faculty researcher as lead persons, will be strongly encouraged.
