SUMMARY:“Sustainability of the Tropical Eucheumatoid Seaweed Industry”
DESCRIPTION:The UP Marine Science Institute invites everyone to a hybrid seminar on the Philippine seaweed industry. With NAST Academician Dr. Gisela Concepcion as the Master of Ceremonies\, join us as Dr. Michael Roleda of UP MSI and Co-Founder and Vice Chairperson Rosalind Wee of W. Group Inc. discuss the current state of the country’s eucheumatoid seaweed industry.\n\nEucheumatoid seaweeds such as Kappaphycus alvarezii\, Kappaphycus striatus\, and Eucheuma denticulatum are the center of the Philippine seaweed industry. As major sources of carrageenan\, a valuable hydrocolloid that is widely used in food and household products\, these seaweeds built a multimillion-peso industry that have supported our seaweed farmers and processors for decades. Analyzing the environmental and socio-economic issues that surround it is critical to securing the industry’s sustainability.\n\n“Sustainability of the Tropical Eucheumatoid Seaweed Industry” will be held on February 9\, 2026\, 10:00 AM. As a hybrid webinar\, guests will allowed to attend at the MSI AVR or through Zoom.\n\nRegister now: bit.ly/MSISeaweedIndustry\n\nThis is a free public seminar that is co-organized by the UP Marine Science Institute\, the Algal Ecophysiology Laboratory\, and W Hydrocolloids\, Inc. Special guests from key seaweed industry players\, Fonterra and Sherratt Ingredients\, and officials from UP Diliman will also be present.\n\nFor more updates\, follow Algal Ecophysiology Laboratory.\n\nADDENDUM: Vice Chairperson Wee’s title has been updated.\n\nSource: UP Marine Science Institute Facebook

SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #271 Warning sa Paggamit ng Antibiotics sa UTI at Ubo!
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/HealthUpdatesWebinar271 \n  \nWebinar #271\nJanuary 30\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nWarning sa Paggamit ng Antibiotics sa UTI at Ubo!\n\nPresenter:\nDR. SYBIL LIZANNE R. BRAVO\nClinical Associate Professor\, Division of OB-GYN Infectious Diseases\nDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology\nUP College of Medicine and UP – Philippine General Hospital\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #271\nJanuary 30\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nWarning sa Paggamit ng Antibiotics sa UTI at Ubo!\n\nIn an era defined by the rapid evolution of pathogen resistance\, the clinical efficacy of our antimicrobial armamentarium is facing an unprecedented challenge. As we navigate the complexities of modern medicine in 2026\, the Philippines continues to grapple with the profound implications of irrational antibiotic use. This is a phenomenon that transcends simple clinical error to become a systemic public health crisis. The indiscriminate prescription of broad-spectrum agents\, coupled with patient-driven self-medication and sub-optimal adherence\, has accelerated the selection of multidrug-resistant organisms\, thereby compromising the very foundation of infectious disease management.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will discuss a high-level synthesis of the latest updates in antimicrobial stewardship\, specifically tailored to the Philippine context. This session will move beyond theoretical discourse to address the granular realities of irrational prescriptions\, particularly within the sensitive domains of maternal and reproductive health\, where the stakes of therapeutic failure involve two lives simultaneously. Attendees will gain a nuanced understanding of the Philippine National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (2024–2028)\, alongside actionable insights into the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine’s latest surveillance data\, which highlights the rising prevalence of resistance in pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.\n\nOur main speaker is Dr. Sybil Lizanne R. Bravo\, who is a Clinical Associate Professor from the Division of OB-GYN Infectious Diseases\, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\, UP College of Medicine and UP – Philippine General Hospital. We will also discuss how we should align our clinical practices with evidence-based guidelines and the World Health Organization’s AWaRe framework so that we can collectively mitigate the socio-economic burden of prolonged hospitalizations and escalating healthcare costs.\n\nJoin us in reaffirming our commitment to preserving the miracle of antibiotics for future generations. Together\, we can stop preventable deaths!

SUMMARY:THEORIZING THE GENDERING OF TRANSCULTURAL CONSUMER DISTRICTS IN JAPAN: A CASE STUDY OF THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE OF SHIN-OKUBO "KOREATOWN"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special lecture on gendering\, consumerism\, and linguistic landscapes by Thomas Baudinette\, PhD\, Senior Lecturer in Global Studies at Macquarie University\, New Zealand. This lecture\, organized with the UP Korea Research Center\, will be held at 2 PM – 4 PM on 26 January 2026 at the CSSP Health & Wellness Center.\n\n— Abstract —\n\nThis presentation draws upon longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork of Japanese women’s fandom for K-pop idol groups between 2015 to 2025 to develop a theory of the gendered nature of consumer space in Japan. Through careful attention to the Linguistic Landscape (LL) of Tokyo’s so-called Koreatown of Shin-Ōkubo\, I explore how this district has conspicuously transformed from an ethnic enclave into a “K-pop space” due to the heavy penetration of K-pop related linguistic and other semiotic resources across the neighbourhood over the past decade.\n\nIn particular\, I argue that the materiality of K-pop merchandising in Shin-Ōkubo and its ties to other markers of “Koreanness” transform the district itself into K-pop content to be consumed by fans who are presumed to be heterosexual women. In so doing\, I unpack how the LL of Shin-Ōkubo is specifically coded as feminine\, considering how the study of LL can expand and nuance our understanding of the gendered nature of consumer culture in contemporary Japan. Through my attention to the role of Shin-Ōkubo’s LL in naturalizing specific fantasies of Korea and related (heterosexual) desires central to the broader Korean Wave in Japan\, I consider how the neighbourhood thus represents a space where one’s gendered identity as a K-pop fan is negotiated through the very act of visiting and experiencing the district. I conclude the presentation by reflecting on the potentials of K-pop spaces in Japan to function as sites where female fans can exercise their agency and produce feminist solidarities designed to combat heteropatriarchy.\n\n— Bionote —\n\nDr. Thomas Baudinette is Senior Lecturer in Global Cultures\, School of International Studies\, Macquarie University. A cultural anthropologist\, his research explores the role popular culture plays in shaping knowledge about gender and sexuality across East and Southeast Asia. His first book is Regimes of Desire: Young Gay Men\, Media\, and Masculinity in Tokyo (University of Michigan Press\, 2021).\n\nHis second book is Boys Love Media in Thailand: Celebrity\, Fans\, and Transnational Asian Queer Popular Culture (Bloomsbury\, 2023). Thomas is currently working on three book projects: an edited collection titled Riding the Thai Wind: Globalising Thai Media\, Transnational Fandom\, and Soft Power Potentials\, the updated English-language edition of Akiko Hori and Mori Naoko’s seminal text BL no Kyōkasho (A BL Textbook)\, and a monograph tentatively titled Queer Fantasies of Asia: Japanese and Korean Media Fandom in the Philippines.\nThis event is free and open to the public.\n\nSource: UP Department of Linguistics Facebook
