"Going Beyond R&D: DiWA Face-to-Face Public Launching and User's Training" was opened on November 25, 2022, at Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao, for DiWA: Disease Watch and Analytics application, a new online innovative planning tool and integrative platform to aid decision-makers in disease prevention and control in Mindanao.

 

DiWA end-users from various government and non-government organizations from across Mindanao, students and educators from different academic institutions, welcomed the app with high hopes for disease surveillance and response.

The morning event had plenary talks from each of the Program Leaders who shared their research challenges overcome and milestones achieved through the collective efforts of its researchers.

"These efforts won't be realized without the help of our research partners," said Dr. Mata. While Dr. Logrosa, Dr. Del Mundo, and Mr. Dela Torre urged and hoped to continue and expand the collaborations to realize these efforts.

The talks were followed by an open forum where guests got the chance to ask questions to the Project Leaders pertaining to the DiWA app, mentorship through thesis coaching, and internship. "Our ideas would be more significant when put into concrete applications or actions," Dr. Logrosa explained.

Chancellor Murao quoted a line from Henry Ford, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.”

The AMDABiDSS-Health Team extended its gratitude to Mapúa Malayan Colleges Mindanao for the support in the event.

"We beat the disease with DSS, a Decision-Support System, for a health-resilient Mindanao!" they shouted.

Written by Rene Estremera. Posted in Forums

2022 112422 FEU 01The University of the Philippines Mindanao (UPMin) and the Far Eastern University (FEU) carried out their first successful collaboration on November 24-25, 2022, with the 1st FRAMEwork Asia-Pacific Communication Conference on the theme, "Disruptions and (re)constructions in the time of COVID-19: Turning the gaze on the Global South."
 
 The conference, through its theme, assembled researchers and their papers on communication, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), social media, and the intersections with entertainment, digital markets, emerging digital bureaucracy, media, politics, disinformation, online relationships, fatigue and coping, pedagogy, community advocacies, and the pandemic death and survival narratives.       
 
 UPMin’s Assoc. Prof. Karen Joyce Cayamanda (Department of Humanities) joined the Roundtable Discussion on Day 2 on the topic, “Moving forward: Communication and media practices post-pandemic.”  Prof. Cayamanda brings to the discussion the wealth of UPMin’s forums and studies on communication, health, disaster, risk communication, and related topics that were undertaken during the time of COVID-19 in 2019-2022.
 
 UPMin’s Asst. Prof. Ma. Teresa Escano (Humanities) likewise served as a juror in the Best Paper Competition.  
 This initial collaboration was formalized through a memorandum of understanding signed by UPMin Chancellor Lyre Anni E. Murao and FEU President Dr. Michael M. Alba on October 21, 2022. The MOU stipulated that the two higher education institutions aim "to create, encourage, and develop a harmonious relationship through the exchange, collaboration, and mutual development of programs for students, faculty members, and academic personnel through research conferences, seminars and workshops, and special lectures.”
 
 “This conference is truly relevant and responsive to the present time,” said Chancellor Murao in her remarks. “As we emerge from this pandemic, our learnings and experiences propel us to greater heights as a nation and as a global community. Our pandemic experience has opened up opportunities to rethink and relearn, and I am sure it has spurred exciting scholarly inquiry and reexamination in the field of communication,” she said.

Kapuluan: Anthropology in the Archipelago, 2022

Written by Rene Estremera. Posted in Forums

2022 102622 UGAT 02

UP Mindanao’s anthropologists pondered on the presence of maritime traditions and images in the narratives of mountain tribes in the southern Philippines island of Mindanao at “Kapuluan: Anthropology in the Archipelago,” the annual Philippine UGAT conference in October 2022.  

In Panel 1D, “`Islands’ in the highlands,” held on October 26, Associate Professor Myfel Paluga and Assistant Professor Andrea Malaya Ragragio of the Department of Social Sciences guided colleagues in reconstructing and imagining spaces in Mindanao’s Pantaron mountain range through the indigenous peoples’ epic narratives and practices.  

Using data from ritual practices, historical materials, and epic narratives, the panel gleaned resonances of the Austronesian maritime traditions and images that persisted in the memories of tribes in the upland “Pantaron Zone” of Mindanao. 

Among the upland “Ata/Manobo” residents, the presence of a vessel figure called “balangoy” or “sagimbal” is part of the ritual “pag-ugpo,” alongside figures of a house, rice, fish, betel-nut, and spirit companions, which represents a mythic space for the tribe’s decision-making. 

In an oral narrative from the Talaingod highland of the Pantaron range, a datu (tribe chief) appears from distant Arakan (a present-day municipality in North Cotabato Province, central Mindanao), which implies links of “imagined communities” across geographically-distant locations through marital links, economic practices, and others.

Asst. Prof. Kenette Jean Millondaga contributed to a study of the Tuwaang-type epic genre, which is documented to be widely shared from Bukidnon to North Cotabato (both in central Mindanao) to Davao del Norte (southeastern Mindanao). 

Finally, the late Emmanuel Nabayra, Jr. contributes to a study on “Agyu,” a hero in a Dibabawon tribe epic, “Sewatan ni Lumuganod,” which is discussed in relation to other tribal personalities and themes of landscapes, values, and laws.
