UPV holds first face-to-face homecoming in the new normal







The University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) transitioned to the new normal with face-to-face events for the 2022 UPV Alumni and Faculty Homecoming. It was the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic that the alumni were able to physically attend the homecoming events at the University and reunite with their classmates.

Pre-events such as the blood donation campaign “Dugo Kay Isko” organized by UPVHS ’81 and the UPV College of Management’s reunion “Bluechips: Back To Base” were held on Saturday, August 13. The Homecoming Week kicked off with a motorcade on Sunday, August 14, that passed through the various districts of the city.

A formal opening program was held the following day, August 15. UPV Chancellor Clement C. Camposano and UPV OAR Director Rey Carlo T. Gonzales gave their opening remarks. Retired professor Ma. Luisa ‘Meloy’ E. Mabunay served as the guest speaker. She reminisced about her days as a History student in the 60s, becoming a member of the faculty, and serving as an administrator.

Several activities ran throughout the rest of the week. These included OAR’s “Replica Classroom” and “UPV FilmFest,” One UPV’s “Laum” art exhibit, and Handumanan Project’s display and sale of its coffee table book “Padayon nga Maragtas.” Other events include the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences’ “CFOS Virtual Homecoming” on August 16 and UPV’s awarding of the “Pandemic Heroes” on August 19.

Homecoming Day was held on August 20 with the regular annual events. Among them were “Run UP!” organized by Silak and Silab, the “Homecoming Mass” sponsored by Scintilla Jvris and Stella Juris, the “VArrio Fiesta Brunch” sponsored by Validus Amicitia, and “Golden Lunch,” Silak and Silab’s offering for retired faculty and staff. More cluster gatherings were held, such as the well-attended “Goldies Day” organized by iAmUPHi and the “SoTech Socials and Bingo” by the SoTech Alumni Association. A trade fair and the elections for the UP Alumni Association Iloilo Chapter’s Board of Directors were held all day long during Homecoming Day.

The weeklong celebration culminated with the grand Homecoming Dinner and Awards Night organized by UP Alumni Association Iloilo Chapter (UPAAIC). It was held on August 21 at the Iloilo Convention Center, with over five hundred participants in attendance. Jubilarians were highlighted during the event. Seven outstanding alumni received the “UPV Outstanding Professional” award, while former Sen. Franklin Drilon was given the “Lifetime Achievement Award.”

Some of these events were also streamed live online on the UPV Office of Alumni Relations (OAR) Facebook Page for alumni around the world to witness.

The annual homecoming is organized by UPV OAR, UPAAIC, in partnership with the various alumni associations, organizations, offices, and colleges of UPV. The event is part of the University’s larger celebration of 75 years of UP Presence in Iloilo.

In celebration of 75 years of presence in Iloilo, the University of the Philippines Visayas is the featured UP constituent unit of the UP Carillon Magazine 2022!

The new Carillon 2022 online version was launched during the UP Visayas Alumni and Faculty Homecoming held at the Iloilo Convention Center last night.

The UP alumni magazine has National Artist Napoleon Abueva’s Diwata ng Dagat statue on its front cover, which may be viewed in Augmented Reality using iPhone (running at least iOS 13), iPad (running at least iPadOS 13), and Android.

Feature stories include the Diwata ng Dagat and UPV’s 75-Year History as Cover Story; the story of five decades of alumni engagement of the UP SILAK Brotherhood and UP SILAB Sisterhood in UP Visayas; and a Spotlight on the Ilonggo-born brotherhood and sisterhood of UP Hamili and UP Hamilia. A special treat is the centerspread photo essay of select locations in Revisiting the University of the Philippines Visayas. Additionally, the issue also includes stories of our alumni in the Philippines and abroad. Regular sections like In Memoriam, Accolades, and Topnotchers List are still part of the issue to recognize our supportive and outstanding alumni.

eHATID Project granted Utility Model Registration

Dr Dennis Batangan with some members of the IPC eHatid team and partners from the local government units of Pangasinan

The School of Social Sciences and the Institute of Philippine Culture proudly congratulate Dr. Dennis Batangan and the IPC eHATID Team for the granting of a utility model registration to the DOST-PCHRD-supported project eHATID by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL)!

The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) granted a utility model registration to the eHATID project for its system of storing, sharing, and retrieving medical information for local government units. The eHATID system uses a software application that allows users to input and subsequently access information, such as patient medical profile and consultation data, processed through a backend infrastructure. It is interoperable, connects multiple databases, and enables remote access for its users and helps in facilitating the quick and efficient referral of patients to the appropriate healthcare facilities. Valid for seven years, the patent grants the eHATID team the right to use, sell, or import the utility model.

The eHATID was developed by the research team of Dr. Dennis Batangan of the Ateneo de Manila University – Institute of Philippine Culture (ADMU-IPC) as a healthcare information system that will aid the country’s healthcare delivery. Its development was supported by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) and by the DOST-Technology Application and Promotion Institute (TAPI) in pursuing its IP-related activities.
