SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #277 "Is My 16-Year Old Girl At Risk for Pregnancy?" Findings from National Research
DESCRIPTION:The University of the Philippines\,\nin partnership with the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health\,\nand in cooperation with UP Philippine General Hospital and UP College of Medicine\,\nwould like to invite you to attend this webinar! \n  \nRegistration slots are limited to this HEALTH UPDATES webinar\nSo sign up NOW:\nbit.ly/HealthUpdatesWebinar277 \nWebinar #277\nMarch 13\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nIs My 16-Year Old At Risk for Pregnancy?\nFindings from National Research\n\nPresenter:\nDR. Mario R. Festin\nFounding Director\, Institute of Reproductive Health\nNational Institutes of Health\nUniversity of the Philippines Manila\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #277\nMarch 13\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nIs My 16-Year Old At Risk for Pregnancy?\nFindings from National Research\n\nThe persistent challenge of adolescent gestation in the Philippines represents not merely a localized sociological concern but a multifaceted public health crisis that demands an integrated\, evidence-based clinical response. Frontline healthcare workers are indispensable in navigating the intricate biological and psychosocial landscapes associated with teenage pregnancy.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will attempt to dissect the current trajectory of adolescent maternal health within the Philippine archipelago. Our discussion will move beyond superficial statistics to address the physiological complexities of early-onset pregnancy\, including the heightened risks of pre-eclampsia\, systemic gestational hypertension\, and the long-term sequelae of adolescent pelvic disproportion. We will also explore the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in fostering a continuum of care that prioritizes patient autonomy and ethical counseling.\n\nThe urgency of this dialogue is underscored by the evolving digital landscape and its impact on health literacy among the youth. As we analyze the shifts in health-seeking behaviors\, our discussion will also encompass the implementation of youth-friendly health services and the optimization of referral pathways within the primary care network.\n\nOur main discussant is Dr. Mario R. Festin\, who is the Founding Director of the Institute of Reproductive Health of the National Institutes of Health\, University of the Philippines Manila. Join us as we synthesize clinical excellence with strategic communication to catalyze a more resilient and informed healthcare workforce. Together\, we can redefine the standard of care for the next generation\, ensuring that every encounter at the frontline of medicine becomes a pivotal moment for intervention\, education\, and holistic

SUMMARY:"Labor market effects of artificial intelligence: Evidence from Philippine occupations"
DESCRIPTION:HAPPENING ON FRIDAY\, March 13\, 2026. 4:00 PM\, at the Judith R. Duavit-Vasquez and Class of 1984 Lecture Room (UPSE 105)\n\n🎓 UPSE-PCED Friday Seminar\, the second seminar in the series this March\, featuring researchers from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Research Academy.\n\n🧠📚💡Abstract: Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have elevated concerns about the impact of technological progress in the labor market\, especially the displacement of workers. This study examines the labor market effects of AI in the Philippines\, a developing country with significant engagement in cognitive services. To translate existing AI-related measures that were constructed using the O*NET database to the Philippine context\, we implement a two-step matching process: assessing semantic similarity between occupational task sets and performing manual review to ensure contextual consistency. We then estimate the long-difference regression between 2019 and 2024 of labor market outcomes on the AI occupational exposure measure.\n\nOverall\, we find that occupational exposure to AI is linked to lower real wage growth\, but it does not appear to have a significant relationship with employment growth and change in unemployment risk. However\, in occupations with low complementarity with AI\, greater exposure to AI is associated with lower employment growth and increased unemployment risk.\n\nLabor market outcomes connected to higher exposure to AI also vary by an occupation’s exposure to the IT-BPM sector. These findings highlight the heterogeneous effects of AI under nuanced labor market conditions in a developing economy. – with Ralph Joshua P.
