The agricultural extension program of the University of the Philippines Mindanao entitled “Enhancing Livelihood Opportunities in Conflict-Vulnerable Areas in Mindanao through the LIFE (Livelihood Improvement through Facilitated Extension) Model” is in its final year of implementation. One of the Program’s objectives is to promote the LIFE Model and help develop policies for wider adoption and future institutionalization to help the conflict-vulnerable communities in the agriculture, aquatic, and natural resources sector. During the three-year implementation in Surallah, Maguindanao, and Zamboanga Sibugay, the Program has helped six farmer groups organize and register with the Department of Labor and Employment; increase their income through vegetable and seaweed farming, value-adding, and diversification of income source; improve social capital, and forge partnerships with local government institutions and stakeholders. The LIFE Model is being implemented in the aforementioned areas in partnership with the Landcare Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. and ACIAR Mindanao Agricultural Extension Project, with funding from the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development.
The Program, in collaboration with the Center for the Advancement of Research in Mindanao (CARIM), will be hosting the webinar to provide a venue for sharing insights on the implementation of the LIFE Model, and to forge new partnerships with institutions in implementing the model in their agricultural extension programs.
With this, we cordially invite you to the webinar to be held on 7 April 2021 (Wednesday), 9:00 AM – 12:00 NN via Zoom. Kindly register here https://bit.ly/UPMinLife.

Deadline for high schools to submit Form 2 for admission to UP extended to 15 April

Written by Rene Estremera. Posted in Announcements

March 29, 2021 | Written by Celeste Ann Castillo Llaneta
 

The University of the Philippines Office of Admissions (UP OAdms) has extended the deadline for the online submission of Form 2 by high schools with students applying to UP from 31 March to 15 April 2021.

This will be the ultimate deadline in order for the University to proceed with the processing of applications in time for the opening of Academic Year (AY) 2021-2022.

Slower rate of online submissions

The extension of the deadline for the online submission of Form 2 was made in light of the notices and requests from many high schools to further extend the period for the submission of the grades of their students applying to UP.

On top of the already considerable job of collating and submitting the grades of their student-applicants, high schools are also dealing with the impact of COVID-19. This has resulted in a slower rate of submissions due to modified work arrangements. The declaration of enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) over the National Capital Region (NCR) and four other provinces due to the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, and the localized lockdowns elsewhere in the country, are further contributing to the delays in data integration and quality check.

Among the 108,350 who applied for first-year admission to UP for the coming academic year, an estimated 32,200 Form 2 submissions are yet to come in. This is in spite of intensified efforts on the part of UP to assist the high schools by providing more Helpdesk volunteers and more Data Control personnel proactively reaching out to high schools to offer assistance, as well as the additional help given by the UP Ugnayan ng Pahinugod’s systemwide network.

Modified timeline

The UP OAdms’ newly modified timeline sets the final deadline of all UP first-year application requirements (both Form 1 and Form 2) on 15 April. Given the adjustments in the admissions process, the UP OAdms sets the most realistic time of release of qualified UP applicants on or before 15 July 2021.

As before, high schools that have not received any notification, have changed their registered email address, or are having difficulty with online submission are advised to contact  as soon as possible.

Any inquiries, concerns and requests for assistance may also be coursed through the Online Helpdesk found in the UP Office of Admissions FB page. The Helpdesk is open from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
