NB OPONDA Announcement

The UP Mindanao administration wishes to inform the public about the passing of their esteemed former colleague, Dr. Nilo B. Oponda, who passed away on March 11, 2024.

He served the University as a faculty member of the Department of Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science from 1996 until his retirement in 2021.

He took on administrative duties as Department Chairperson from 2012 to 2015, Learning Resource Center Director from 2000 to 2002, and again from 2006 to 2007.

He was appointed Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, where he served under two chancellors, Prof. Sylvia Concepcion and Prof. Larry Digal, from 2015 to 2021.

As the VCAA, he was known to be hardworking, committed, diligent, and reliable. He guided academic units by being keen on UP Mindanao's compliance with policies. His persistent guidance hastened the academic units' capacity to produce concrete output toward academic program improvement. He supported faculty members' plans for professional development and ensured that they stayed on track to earn advanced degrees. He served as his chancellor's reliable partner in lobbying for faculty items and defending the UP Mindanao recommendations on faculty promotions. 

The University is forever grateful for his service and contribution to our institution.

2024 022324 UC STATEMENT

The UP Mindanao UC supports the creation of the Committee on the Promotion and Protection of Academic Freedom and Human Rights. Given the rampant cases of state fascism such as red-tagging and violation of human rights and academic freedom, we believe that the present institutional arrangement we have at present does not have the avenues and facility for ends which the proposed Committee can best accomplish.

 

SUOTA, training in beads-making, in the UP Marilog Land Reservation

Written by Rene Estremera. Posted in Announcements

Beads tarp2RESIZ15

SUOTA, the Sustainable Obu-Manuvu Tribal Attire project, began on February 23, 2024, in the UP Marilog Land Reservation, located in the Third District of Davao City, within the Obu-Manuvu Ancestral Domain. Some 30 Obu-Manuvu women and men were trained in beads-making. Beads are a feature of their culture, being a component of the tribal attire. Beads are part of traditional apparel and are also extended to be part of headgear and worn to adorn hands and feet. A beads-making expert from the tribe will lead the training session at the UP Mindanao Training Center, Marilog, Davao City. The training will help ensure that this indigenous custom is not lost but can live on with a new generation of skilled creators. 

This effort, initiated in part by the UP Mindanao Land Reservations Management Office, addresses various Sustainable Development Goals on quality education through women empowerment, gender equality through women’s employment, and decent work and economic growth through economic productivity. 

UP Mindanao’s role in the Marilog Land Reservation is  defined  in Presidential Proclamation 1253, signed by President Fidel V. Ramos on June 15, 1998, “for research, extension, instruction purposes, watershed and forest rehabilitation and protection, biodiversity (flora and fauna) conservation, crops and livestock production, and management, including upland communities training and development center of the University of the Philippines.”
