U.P. HOLIDAY CHEER STARTS WITH CHRISTMAS GALA
Alumni and friends of the university will have a Christmas
homecoming and reunion at the University Theatre in Diliman on
Saturday 07 December, 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm, for the U.P. CHRISTMAS GALA
1996.
As in the past three years, the glorious sounds of Handel's
MESSIAH and National Artist Lucio San Pedro's Christmas medleys
of "Simbanggabi" and "Mga Awiting Pamasko" will be created by the
300-voice assemblage of nine UP choirs: the combined voices of the UP
Cherubim and Seraphim together with its alumni, the Gossamer Wings; the
UP Church of the Risen Lord Chancel Choir, the UP Concert Chorus back
from a seven-month concert tour of the US., Canada, and Australia; the
UP Faculty Choral Ensemble, the UP Los Banos Choral Ensemble which
debuted internationally in Europe this year, the UP Madrigal Singers
represented by its alumni; the UP Manila Chorale; the UP Parish Choir;
and the UP Singing Ambassadors.
The soloists for Messiah will interpret the recitatives and arias
in full baroque style, complete with trills, appoggiaturas,
mordents, cadenzas, and other ornamentations expected of singers during
Handel=92s time. Drawing from their studies of technique and style are
soprano Johanna Cabili (who sang in the Messiah and Puccini=92s
Magnificat last year), baritone Jonathan Velasco (debuting as
countertenor to interpret the alto recitatives and arias), tenor
Jonathan Malicsi (who sang in the Messiah and Bach=92s Christmas Oratorio
in 1994), and baritone Joel Navarro (first-time soloist is a faculty
member of the UP College of Music).
Assisting is the UP Chamber Orchestra Plus, augmented to comprise
a symphonic ensemble., under the baton of Rey T. Paguio, who is
conducting the concert for the 4th time.
For tickets and further information, please contact the UP-PCCA at
the Carillon Tower, UP Diliman (tel. 920-7556, 920-7557, fax
920-7954), or the marketing staff at Room 2118 of the Faculty Center,
UP Diliman (tel. 926-9887). Tickets are also available through

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:
U.P. ON THE EVE OF THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY
Emil Q. Javier
President, University of the Philippines
(With just a few weeks before the year of 1997, it may be worth our
while to take note of how much the University has undergone in the past
months to gear itself for the 21st century, by recalling what
President Javier shared during the U.P. Alumni Council meeting of June
16, 1995. We are reprinting the first half of the speech and will have
the other half in the December issue)
In six years=92 time, we will reach the year two thousand and one
and officially enter the twenty first century. As the last U.P.
President to serve in the current century, the task of preparing the
University for the new millennium falls squarely on my administration.
However, we are not just getting ready for this confrontation with the
future. For I have also been fortunate in being at the helm when the
Philippines celebrates its centennial as a nation. In a sense then,
the challenge facing me - and you, as alumni, faculty and students of
U.P. and thus as leaders fully committed to this nation, is to bridge
three centuries: the nineteenth, by completing the mission of the
Philippine Revolution; the twenty first, by riding competently on the
three technological waves that await us there; and what remains of the
twentieth, by helping our people, here and now, to recapture that sense
of purpose that made us the first new nation of Asia in 1898, and that
will make us a force to reckon with a few short decades from today,
fulfilling the dream of Philippines 2000.
In pursuit of this vision for U.P. we will navigate between the
demands of nationalism and globalization, the two competing forces
that for John Naisbitt constitute the global paradox. If we are
transfixed towards national rootedness, we shall in no time be rudely
jolted by the reality that global progress and competition will not
wait for us. If on the other hand, we succumb completely to the siren
call of technological leapfrogging, we will tear the nation apart as we
leave the majority of Filipinos behind. Thus, we cannot choose one or
the other. As the national university of this country, we must grow
both our roots and our wings.
Developing our Wings
With our wings, we are resolutely and imaginatively inventing our
future. Without relinquishing our primacy in the social sciences,
the humanities and the professions, U.P. is strengthening its programs
in science and technology. This June, we doubled student admissions in
engineering in preparation for a world-class Graduate School of
Engineering in the Diliman campus. Late last year, we formalized a
national network of institutes for molecular biology and biotechnology
in our four major campuses. We are developing plans for the National
Institutes of Health in U.P. Manila. We have just inaugurated science
and technology parks in Diliman, Los Banos and Iloilo which, in
cooperation with the Department of Science and Technology and the
private sector, will be incubators for new industries.
The Philippines must master the use of Third-Wave technologies.
However, the sectors that they will affect initially are
relatively small and will keep most of our population in the margins of
development for some time to come. Thus we must continue to extend to
our farmers and fishers efficient and environment- friendly production
systems and appropriate technology which take their culture and basic
needs into account.
In order to modernize more rapidly, we need to develop our
capacity for reverse engineering and technological adaptation.
Since the University has most of the Filipino PhDs and active
researchers in any field, the challenge of forging the intricate
combination of these technological waves is in our hands.
Major problems of the future would require a critical mass of
research and development effort sustained over long periods of
time. Thus in addition to individual research, we have organized
groups of like- minded faculties into multidisciplinary teams, dealing
with topics such as biodiversity conservation, management of water
resources, Mt. Pinatubo rehabilitation, urbanization, educational
policy, peace and conflict resolution, and regional studies. These
groups are expected to render periodic state of the nation reports on
these concerns, recommend policies and articulate options.
The University is not about to give up our competitive edge with
our proficiency in English. We are developing a stronger program
on English for global competitiveness. At the same time, we are
launching a massive effort to intellectualize and modernize Filipino
and to write textbooks in the national language for high school and
undergraduate instruction. In addition, we are developing mathematics
as the third leg in our tri-language program in the U.P. system. We
need numerical literacy and proficiency to feel at home in the twenty
first century world of engineering and technology.
With the same wings, we have determined that U.P. will grow as the
nation grows. In two to three decades, our campuses in Los Banos,
Manila, Baguio, and the Visayas will be comprehensive universities like
Diliman. Agriculture and fisheries will continue to be important
economic sectors in the twenty-first century. However, their relative
value will progressively diminish vis-a-vis industry and services.
Thus, Los Banos and Visayas must spread their wings and venture into
engineering, the basic sciences and management sciences as they have
started to do so even now.
In any case, each of the regions where our campuses are located
would require topnotch instruction in science, the professions and
the humanities. We expect our campuses to be the most comprehensive
tertiary institutions in all the growth points of the country. This is
our rationale for establishing U.P. in Mindanao, an autonomous campus
that came into being with the unrelenting efforts of our alumni in that
region. We are positioning U.P. Mindanao to be the lead academic
institution not only for Mindanao but also for the emerging East Asean
Growth Area (EAGA). With this comprehensiveness and expansion goes our
pledge to maintain the high quality of our ongoing, pioneering and new
programs.
February this year was an auspicious month for U.P. In the same
week that President Fidel V. Ramos signed the U.P. in Mindano bill
into law (RA 7889), the Board of Regents created the U.P. Open
University. This university without walls will use the wonders of
telecommunications to bring U.P. education to every corner of the
archipelago. Distance education will first use print and radio, and
later, television, satellites and other multi-media technologies.
We are unquestionably the apex of our educational system.
However, we intend to be its base as well by: developing model
undergraduate programs; pioneering in graduate education and research;
undertaking supportive institutional, curricular and policy research
for the basic, vocational, and adult education; and by developing
instructional materials and training faculty and academic
administrators.
