I was the first recipient. I just arrived in the campus at about 9 am and saw the ladies setting up the vaccination table in the Multi-Purpose Complex. Thank you ladies!

Dear Colleagues in the TUP Academic Community

The Bill of Cong. Kiko Benitez to promote Urban Agriculture is very timely. I have been telling our constituents whenever I can that we should begin some shift in the educational direction and thinking of TUP from one of purely industrial to a clear goal of harnessing our technological capability and knowledge to Food Production.

In the next 30 years, there will be 10 billion human beings on this planet. If by that time we have not yet found a second planet where we could safely ensconce ourselves, we would be almost at the brink of exhausting our present resources for food production. We must find more ways to produce food for our people.

In the next 30 years, the wealthy and powerful nations would dominate the food resources of the Earth, leaving less powerful nations like ours with lesser and lesser resources with which to feed our people. One good example of this is the continuing aggressive acts of China to dominate the South China Sea with the Seven-Dash Line. And the main reason for this is primarily to secure more food sources for their people. That they pushed us away from our fishing grounds is not an issue. Food is the most important issue. And it is only the Philippines which they can push aside with such contempt. They cannot so deliberately provoke Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia because those nations have very strong military forces and they will fight back.

In the next 30 years, another shift which may be needed is to recalibrate our education in TUP to that of defense capability, as this is linked with Food Production. We must have a strong armed force while we still can.

LIFE IS NOT EASY

To our students,

          Life is not easy.

Ecclesiastes 11:8,

“However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many.”

Ecclesiastes 12:1, 

“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”—

        The time will come when the sparkle of youth shall be gone, and the reality of life will take over.  A family in your hands.  A low-paying job. Life is severely hard.  Your labors are backbreaking.  Will you curse the government?  Will you look for succor from your parents who have grown old?  Blame your school? Blame your teachers? The days you waste now will haunt you. 

           Study hard.

APPEAL TO KEEP ON FULFILLING SWORN DUTIES FOR THE NATION

Posted on: November 18, 2020

We have fallen into hard times.  For this reason, I am appealing to the faculty members to keep on fulfilling their duties and responsibilities for the sake of the Filipino nation, with courage but with compassion, without fear but with understanding. 

I am appealing specifically for us to give our students who have been badly affected by the calamities the necessary accommodation to help them cope with their studies.  This is the time to utilize some alternative methods of delivering knowledge. 

In the non-availability of online modes for those affected, you may consider using text messages, the distribution of printed modules, Facebook, Viber, and the like.

The objective is to continue the delivery of knowledge. 

For your guidance and compliance.
