SUMMARY:Notes for Tomorrow Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Notes for Tomorrow\nIn collaboration with Independent Curators International (ICI)\n\n16 December 2025 to 07 March 2026\nUP Vargas Museum 1/F Galleries\nExhibition preview on 16 December 2025\, 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM\nat the UP Vargas Museum\, West Wing Gallery\n\n‘Notes for Tomorrow’ features artworks from around the world brought together in 2020 to reflect on a new global reality ushered in by the COVID-19 pandemic. Coming out of a moment where collective crisis had to be managed through collective care\, Independent Curators International (ICI) turned to 30 curators from 25 countries to consider the issues that have come to the fore in the pandemic’s aftermath\, asking each of them to share one artwork that they believe is vital to be seen today.\n\nThe UP Vargas Museum hosts the exhibition’s first iteration in Southeast Asia\, opening on 16 December 2025\, bringing together works across various geographies\, narratives\, and disciplines that stray from the colonial canon. The selected artists present works that question monumentality and seek the wisdom of localities. In this necessary moment of cultural transition\, each work acts as a source of inspiration from the recent past toward new futures. Rather than proposing a single path forward\, the artworks in Notes for Tomorrow present a network of overlapping solutions.\n\n___\n\nArtists of ‘Notes for Tomorrow’: Madiha Aijaz\, Ernesto Bautista\, Maeve Brennan\, Vajiko Chachkhiani\, Luke Luokun Cheng\, A Liberated Library for Education\, Inspiration\, and Action\, Nothando Chiwanga\, Shezad Dawood\, Demian DinéYazhi’\, Cao Guimarães\, Ilana Harris-Babou\, Rei Hayama\, Amrita Hepi\, INVASORIX\, Tamás Kaszás\, Ali Kazma\, David Lozano\, Mona Marzouk\, Joiri Minaya\, Peter Morin\, Omehen\, Daniela Ortiz\, Kristina Kay Robinson\, Luiz Roque\, Mark Salvatus\, Ibrahima Thiam\, u/n multitude\, Wayne Kaumualii Westlake\, and Yan Shi\n\nSource: UP Vargas Museum Facebook

SUMMARY:UP Population Institute Brown Bag Session: Is it Race or Racism that is a Social Determinant of Health? A case study of the Filipino worker in Canada
DESCRIPTION:The UP Population Institute will feature Dr. Sachil Singh of York University\, Canada\, for next month’s brown bag session. His study answers the crucial question: Is it Race or Racism that is a Social Determinant of Health?\n\nUsing a case study of Filipino workers in Canada\, Dr. Singh will demonstrate that race is not a social determinant of health (SDoH). Rather\, he asserts that social conditions (including racism and racial discrimination) are the true SDoH\, not race itself.\n\nMark your calendars:\n🗓️: 9 December 2025\n🕑: 2:30 PM\n📍: Room 1309\, Palma Hall\, UPPI\n\nTo those who are interested in attending the brown bag session\, you may register through this link: https://forms.gle/9epuZjbjDZJWUjRZ9\nSee you! 🧡\n\nDon’t miss it!\n\nSource: University of the Philippines Population Institute (UPPI) Facebook

SUMMARY:Health UPdates Webinar #266 "Healthcare in the Philippines: Fragmented nga ba?"
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/HealthUpdatesWebinar266 \n  \nWebinar #266\nDecember 5\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nHealthcare in the Philippines: Fragmented Nga Ba?\n\nPresenter:\nDR. KENNETH Y. HARTIGAN-GO\nSenior Research Fellow\, Ateneo Policy Center\nProgram Director\, Ateneo School of Government\n\nReactor:\nDR. MINGUITA B. PADILLA\nPast President\, Eye Bank of the Philippines\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #266\nDecember 5\, 2025 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nHealthcare in the Philippines: Fragmented Nga Ba?\n\nIn an era defined by the pursuit of Universal Health Care (UHC)\, the persistence of a fragmented healthcare system in the Philippines presents a critical challenge to achieving equitable and efficient health outcomes for all citizens. In this week’s episode\, we will dissect the various elements contributing to this persistent fragmentation by moving beyond anecdotal observations to a rigorous\, evidence-based analysis.\n\nThe core of the issue lies in the complex interplay of a devolved governance structure and a multi-payer financing landscape. The decentralization of health functions to Local Government Units (LGUs)\, while democratically sound\, has inadvertently led to vast disparities in service delivery capacity\, resource allocation\, and technical expertise across provinces and municipalities. This results in scenarios where a patient’s access to timely\, high-quality care — ranging from chronic disease management to emergency maternal services — is often contingent not on clinical need\, but on geographical location and the fiscal capacity of their LGU. In addition\, the co-existence of national health insurance (PhilHealth)\, Department of Health (DOH) programs\, and LGU-sourced budgets creates siloed funding streams that often overlap or\, conversely\, neglect vital public health functions\, exacerbating out-of-pocket expenditures for the most vulnerable.\n\nTo illustrate this complexity\, our speakers will discuss the fractured referral pathways between a rural health unit and a tertiary hospital\, or the lack of interoperability between disparate health information systems. Such instances reveal the systemic inefficiencies that not only strain the resources of providers but also diminish the patient experience and compromise continuity of care. The fragmented Human Resources for Health (HRH) distribution\, marked by the severe maldistribution of specialists and the perennial “brain drain” of nurses\, further compounds this problem\, leaving many underserved communities with insufficient personnel to implement UHC’s primary care-focused mandate.\n\nCrucially\, this session is not simply a problem-focused deliberation. We will also discuss actionable recommendations and ways forward. We will outline key strategies for governance alignment by emphasizing the integration of provincial-wide or city-wide health systems to ensure a unified health network. We will also explore the transformative potential of strategic purchasing within PhilHealth and the necessity of robust\, interoperable digital health solutions to bridge informational and geographical gaps.\n\nOur main speaker is a Senior Research Fellow from the Ateneo Policy Center\, Dr. Kenneth Y. Hartigan-Go. Our reactor is Dr. Minguita B. Padilla\, who is a past president of the Eye Bank of the Philippines.\n\nJoin us to critically engage with these challenges and to contribute to the collective effort of transforming a fragmented system into a cohesive\, resilient\, and truly universal health architecture.
