SUMMARY:Renato Constantino Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date! A convocation in honor of Renato Constantino and current global and national issues blazing in the news today.\n\nWhat is behind the country’s persistent underdevelopment and what explains the acceleration of industrialization among our neighbors? What are the links closely binding decolonization and decarbonization and how do these shape our people’s aspiration to industrialize today? What is the relevance of Philippine history with regard to fossil economy-triggered conflicts in West Asia\, territorial disputes in contested international waters\, and the worsening climate crisis? What is the relevance today of Renato Constantino and Letizia Roxas Constantino and why did they dedicate their lives to advance the cause of nationalism and partisan scholarship in the Philippines?\n\nThese questions and more will be addressed at the event\, which will be held at the UP College of Media and Communication on April 18 from 2-5pm. The Constantino Foundation thanks the UP College of Media and Communication\, Alpha Phi Beta\, Asia-Europe Institute of Universiti Malaya and visiting scholar from Malaysia\, Dr. Rajah Rasiah\, for co-organizing the convocation. Detailed program to be posted.\n\nFor those unfamiliar with UP Diliman\, here’s the exact address: UP CMC Auditorium\, UP CMC\, Plaridel Hall\, Ylanan Street\, Diliman\, Quezon City\, Metro Manila.\n\nThe event is free to the public but QR code registration will be posted next week.

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/HealthUpdatesWebinar281 \n  \nWebinar #281\nApril 17\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nFilipino sa Middle East\, Handa Ba?\nPossible Wartime Health Emergencies\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Arturo M. Pesigan\nFormer WHO Representative to Yemen\nInternational Expert in Health Emergencies\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #281\nApril 17\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nFilipino sa Middle East\, Handa Ba?\nPossible Wartime Health Emergencies\n\nIn the contemporary global landscape\, the intersection of armed conflict and public health presents a formidable challenge that transcends traditional clinical boundaries. As healthcare providers and dedicated community members\, we are increasingly called to operate within environments where the structural integrity of health systems is compromised and the standard of care is dictated by extreme resource scarcity. This week’s episode serves as a critical forum to examine the multifaceted nature of health delivery during wartime\, focusing on the sophisticated coordination required to mitigate morbidity and mortality when infrastructure is under siege.\n\nWe will discuss the physiological demands of treating poly-trauma and the management of chronic conditions when pharmacotherapy pathways are severed. We will explore the shift from elective care to emergency stabilization\, emphasizing the necessity of trauma-informed care and the prevention of nosocomial infections in makeshift clinical settings. We will also analyze supply chain resilience and the adaptation of diagnostic protocols when laboratory reagents and standardized equipment are unavailable.\n\nIn addition\, we will demystify the principles of public health sovereignty and community-based first response. We will attempt to understand the epidemiological shifts that occur during displacement\, such as the increased risk of waterborne pathogens and nutritional deficiencies\, so that every participant will gain a holistic understanding of how to maintain the continuum of care.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Arturo M. Pesigan\, who is the former WHO representative to Yemen and an international expert in health emergencies. Join us as we ensure that even in the heart of conflict\, the mandate to preserve human life remains an achievable and organized endeavor.

SUMMARY:DSCTA Tenure Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Tenure Lecture | 13 April 2026 | PM Session\n\nWe invite you to join us for the tenure lectures of Asst. Prof. Nepomuceno\, Asst. Prof. Pagunaling\, Asst. Prof. Ponce\, and Asst. Prof. Sanoy-Alcantara at Teatro Hermogenes Ylagan\, Pavilion 3 Palma Hall\, UP Diliman. Be part of the conversation as they present their work and contribute to ongoing academic discourse.\n\nWe warmly encourage everyone to attend and be part of this important academic milestone.\n\nAbstracts:\n\nIsang Mahabang Paghihintay sa Pagkabigo\, On Performing Translations\nBy Asst. Prof. Rex Sandro M. Nepomuceno\n\nPerformance practice and pedagogy are often acts of translation. Artists and collaborators speak in the tongues of different disciplines\, across diverse and contradicting cultural materialities. In the performance classroom\, students engage in registers both creative and academic\, but are constantly reminded of the borders that they must learn to cross. I reflect on these performances of/on/in translation to confront points of separation\, if not untranslatability\, in the making and teaching of performance. What is lost and what is gained in the process of translation within performing and educational spaces?\n\n“Translating is fundamentally domesticating”\, Lawrence Venuti (2002) remarks. So\, what I offer are partial views of my own processes of translation towards stage and classroom. For the launch of the UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival 2025\, I was tasked to design a performance under the theme of “nagbabagong kalikasan” (changing ecologies). My training (and limitation) as a creative writer drove me to produce a poetic text that revolved around encounters between human and crocodilian bodies entitled “Isang mahabang paghihintay sa pagkabigo” (A long vigil for failure). I envisioned it to be a dance performance. As a non-dancer\, this necessitated a collaboration with the choreographer Dingdong Selga and the UP Dance Company in a process that entailed the cross-communication of poetry to dance. Simultaneously\, I was teaching a course on performance and text in which I translated this poiesis into a dialogue on how students could approach their own coursework and creative performances. Perhaps in an unconscious convergence\, the conceptual core of “Paghihintay” was also immersed in the entanglements and translation of two speaking bodies: animal and human.\n\nWhat succeeds is an account of my translational negotiations with the limits between literary and dance practice\, between art-making and pedagogy\, and the value of the non-human within these thresholds. At the limits of translatability\, one relies on trust in others— a genuine point of imagination\, generation\, politics.\n\nKumpletong Di-Ganap: Ang Biswal na Lenggwahe para sa Senograpiya ng Dalawang Piling Dula\nBy Asst. Prof. John Carlo V. Pagunaling\n\nAng pag-aaral na ito ay iikot sa konsepto ng disenyo na “Kumpletong Di-Ganap” na hango sa konseptong non-finito na kilalang uri ng sining noong panahon ng Renaissance. Ang papel na ito ay naglalayon na pag-usapan ang diskurso sa paggamit ng Kumpletong Di-Ganap bilang pangunahing konsepto sa pagbuo at pagpanday ng senograpiya ng dalawang piling produksyon: Pingkian: Isang Musikal (2024\, 2025)\, at Anak Datu (2022\, 2023). Ang senograpiya ng mga nabangit na dula ay mag-uumpisa sa paglikha ng kaligiran ng espasyo na kung saan ay pupunuan ng mga accent o detalye na magkukumpleto sa pagkakakilanlan ng biswal na direkyon ng produksyon. Ang mga nabanggit na dula ay mga repleksyon at produkto ng konseptong Kumpletong Di-Ganap na naka-angkla sa mga iba’t ibang salik at sitwasyon na dinanas ng mga produksyon.\n\nEmbodied Mirrors: Rituals of Dissonance and the Performance of Body Image\nBy Asst. Prof. Sherie Claire G. Ponce\n\nThe body is not just an object\, as it is a medium for human experience and expression. The body can be considered an apparatus where cultural roles and gendered expectations are shaped\, manifested\, and embodied. The body is a materialized reflection of our perceptions and identities. However\, what if the body’s image in the mirror clashes with societal ideals? Delving deeper\, what if the perceived image is vastly different for the inhabitant of the body? This lecture draws insights from the preliminary findings of a study on the embodied distress of selected students from the University of the Philippines\, Diliman and the performative struggles they experience to reconcile their corporeal dissonance. Drawing from Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of the lived body and Mauss’ techniques of the body\, this lecture examines the repeated\, embodied actions through which individuals negotiate tensions between their lived and perceived bodies.\n\nThese rituals are argued to be socially learned bodily techniques that function as attempts to reconcile internalized bodily ideals with their corporeal experiences. From habitual self-surveillance to corrective practices\, dissecting these rituals deepens our understanding of body image as an ongoing embodied performance shaped by culture\, calling for more critical approaches to examining how adolescent body image is formed\, sustained\, and contested. Ultimately\, this study advocates for the development of non-traditional therapeutic frameworks that cultivate body awareness\, foster positive self-image\, and enhance over-all life satisfaction.\n\nYouth\, Embodiment\, and the Aesthetic Materiality of Worship Performance\nBy Asst. Prof. Justine S. Alcantara\n\nWorship is an integral part of Christianity as it has a formative\, communal\, and theological role in a believer’s life. Perhaps some Christians will find the term “performance” uncomfortable when used to describe worship\, as the word ontologically carries connotations of entertainment\, spectacle\, or insincerity—something done for an audience’s approval rather than for the divine. However\, both in my observations and personal experience\, worship involves performative dimensions\, and can be understood as performance (Schechner\, 2020).\n\nThis study examines how worship is embodied and materially mediated among the youth of Elevate Fairview\, a Christian youth movement in the Philippines. Drawing from participant observation\, I explore how young people enact worship through expressive bodily practices and how material “things” within the worship space co-produce the overall worship experience. Using Diana Taylor’s (2003) concepts of the archive and the repertoire\, I argue that worship in Elevate Fairview emerges from the dynamic interplay of embodied gestures\, from the extra-expressive\, theatrical gestures\, such as singing\, dancing\, jumping\, kneeling\, to the most quiet and restrained\, and aesthetic material elements such as set-pieces\, lightings\, spatial arrangements\, and other technologies.\n\nI deem it crucial to recognize these emerging forms and acts of youth worship\, as they reveal how faith is negotiated\, experienced\, and sustained through performance\n\nSource: UP Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts Facebook
