Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Chairperson and UP alumna Maria Belen “Mabel” S. Acosta was the Guest Speaker at the 29th Anniversary celebration of the University of the Philippines Mindanao (UPMin) on February 20, 2024. In her message, Chairperson Acosta extended an invitation for UP Mindanao to enter into partnerships with the MinDA in any and all Mindanao development efforts.
University President Angelo Jimenez, in his recorded video message, said, “As a native son of Mindanao, I pledge my full support for your endeavors and initiatives and, conversely, I will also hold you to the highest standards of performance, so we can show others what we Mindanaoans are capable of achieving not just for ourselves but for our people and our nation.”
Chancellor Lyre Murao, in her welcome remarks, said, “We are now moving towards becoming a comprehensive University,” she said. “With the right blend of people, services, and facilities for a truly transformative impact in Mindanao and BIMP-EAGA.” UP Mindanao's efforts are behind Sustainable Development Goal #4: Quality education.
UP Mindanao constituents completed the 29th Anniversary celebration with a recognition ceremony for personnel.
