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

SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #280 Kailangan ba magkasakit para matulungan ng PhilHealth? Understanding YAKAP
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/HealthUpdatesWebinar280 \n  \nWebinar #280\nApril 10\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nKailangan Ba Magkasakit Para Matulungan ng PhilHealth?\nUnderstanding YAKAP\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Edwin M. Mercado\nPresident and CEO\nPhilippine Health Insurance Corporation\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #280\nApril 9\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nKailangan Ba Magkasakit Para Matulungan ng PhilHealth?\nUnderstanding YAKAP\n\nThe paradigm of modern medicine is currently navigating a pivotal transition from a reactive\, curative-focused framework toward a proactive\, preventive health ecosystem. For decades\, the Philippine healthcare landscape has predominantly functioned under a “break-fix” model\, where clinical intervention occurs primarily at the manifestation of acute pathology. However\, to achieve sustainable Universal Health Care (UHC) and mitigate the burgeoning burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)\, a systemic realignment is imperative.\n\nCentral to this transformation is the “Yaman ng Kalusugan Program\,” more colloquially recognized as the YAKAP Program. This initiative represents a sophisticated evolution in health financing and service delivery\, moving beyond simple inpatient subsidies to a comprehensive primary care benefit package. In integrating predictive health surveillance and early diagnostic interventions\, the YAKAP Program seeks to institutionalize preventive behavior at the grassroots level. In this week’s webinar\, we will discuss how this program utilizes clinical pathways and risk-stratification to identify vulnerabilities before they escalate into high-acuity\, high-cost medical emergencies. The discourse will further dissect the intricacies of health systems strengthening by emphasizing the role of digital health integration and the longitudinal monitoring of patient outcomes.\n\nOur speaker is Dr. Edwin M. Mercado\, the President and CEO of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation\, who will discuss insights into the shifting reimbursement landscapes and the professional responsibility to champion health literacy. Join us to gain a better understanding of how the YAKAP Program serves as the cornerstone of a resilient Philippine health system in order to ensure that every Filipino is not just insured against financial ruin\, but actively protected against physiological decline through evidence-based\, preventive care.

SUMMARY:Kukasina Kubaha on the archive and queerness in a Thai borderland
DESCRIPTION:🪻Heo/Geo Lecture Series (March 2026)🪻\n\nKukasina Kubaha on the archive and queerness in a Thai borderland\n\nHow do we queer the archive?\n\nIn the late 1980s\, Thailand’s first lesbian magazine was published. Although most of the readership were concentrated in Bangkok and other metropols\, there were entries from ‘women loving women’ from Patani —the borderland of Thailand and Malaysia where the Muslim minority are a majority. This is an area where Queer stories have been silently erased from history. Much has been said about male homosexuality in Islamic history and culture\, and while there is a rise in feminist scholarship in Patani\, it only seems to focus on the experiences of cis-female and heterosexual women. Furthermore\, there is a tendency to compare the feminist movements that are happening in Patani to the Middle Eastern Arab world\, but few have compared the situation to neighbouring Islamic societies such as Malaysia\, Indonesia\, and Brunei Darussalam.\n\nFor the fourth talk in the Heo/Geo Lecture Series for 2026\, it is with pride that the UP Department of Geography and the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS) announce a jointly-sponsored talk: Mapping Sapphic Patani\, Tracing the Southeast Asian “Queer Regional Imagination” to be given by Kukasina Kubaha from the University of Hamburg via Zoom. The talk is on Friday\, 27 March 2026 at 5:30PM [UTC +8 Philippine Standard Time (PHT) / 11:30AM UTC +1 Central European Time (CET)]. The talk is also in celebration of the National Women’s Month in the Philippines.\n\nIn this project presentation\, Kukasina Kubaha intends to trace the queer movements in Islamic Southeast Asia\, especially in works of art\, to see the negotiations between the self and religion\, the conversations\, and the influences they had on each other. Thus\, mapping and archiving the ‘queer regional imagination’ (Gopinath\, 2018.) The project will touch upon two main notions: the archive and Queerness. By delving into entanglements of Southeast Asian queer art networks along with its connections to outside the region\, the talk intends to ‘queer’ the archive both in terms of the thinking about the archive as not static\, and to tell more stories or Queers who are often left out of main historiography\, while also challenging the notion of archival violence and how the archive can be imagined otherwise.\nKukasina Kubaha is a translator\, writer\, curator and dreamer of better worlds. She is currently completing a Master’s degree at the Universitat Hamburg\, where she is pondering the question of the archive and how to build a counter-archive of queer women in Thailand’s Deep South through literature\, film\, and contemporary art. Her recent historical fantasy\, ‘Nidra Nirat: A Dream Depository’ is published with New Naratif (https://newnaratif.com/nidra-nirat-a-dream-depository/) and a collage of prints she made based on her archival research is exhibited in the upcoming edition of Southeast Asia Queer Cultural Festival which can be found here: https:// seaqcf.net/. Her curatorial projects also aim at using art as a form of activism and advocacy.\n\nThe Heo/Geo Lecture Series is a monthly lecture given by academic scholars\, field-based geography practitioners\, members of the local community\, and spatial justice advocates to share their knowledge- and practice-based research undertakings. Jointly presented by the UP Department of Geography and the Philippine Geographical Society (PGS)\, the Heo/Geo Lecture Series which previously underwent several iterative rebranding positions geography as a discipline that not only straddles the realms of natural/physical and social sciences\, humanities\, political ecologies\, regional and area studies\, GI technologies and geospatial storytelling\, it is also a vibrant and convivial space that welcomes multiplicities and plural voices. The name Heo/Geo is itself an accommodation to the various understandings\, meanings and pronunciations of geography in its indigenous and vernacular forms and the Anglicized name that has since been adapted in the local lexicon.\n\nThis Heo/Geo Lecture is presented by the Human Geography (HUG) and the Media\, Literary Geographies and Geohumanities (MELANGE) research groups of the UP Department of Geography and is in line with the SDG #4 (Quality Education) and #15 (Life on Land) of the United Nations.\n\nTo participate in the lecture\, click this link to register via Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/2phrrfdp\n—–\nReferences:\nGopinath\, Gayatri.

SUMMARY:"Measuring inflation expectation revisions without panel data"
DESCRIPTION:HAPPENING ON FRIDAY\, March 27\, 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 third seminar in the series this March\, featuring researchers from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Research Academy.\n\n🧠📚💡Abstract: This paper proposes a group-based proxy for revisions to household inflation expectations in settings where only repeated cross-section data are available. The method replaces an individual’s unobserved prior expectation with the lagged average expectation of the individual’s demographic group (constructed using gender\, age\, income\, and education).\n\nThe paper applies the approach to the Philippine Consumer Expectations Survey (CES) for 2010Q1–2024Q2 and studies how the estimated “revision” measure responds to biannual changes in prices of 14 food and energy goods. The paper also implements a two-way equivalence testing validation strategy: (i) comparing group-based estimates to an overall mean-based proxy with Philippine data\, and (ii) comparing group-based estimates to rotating panel-based revisions using the U.S. Michigan Survey of Consumers (MSC).\n\nThe resulting revisions using the CES data show sensitivity to price changes in specific food and energy goods. The equivalence testing finds that the group-based coefficients are valid as they are different from an overall sample mean-based revision. Results using the MSC data show that our proxy is valid as the proxy for lagged expectations and revisions exhibit strong correlation\, minimal errors\, and negligible bias with their corresponding true values. – with Cymon Kayle Lubangco and Mark Holmes\n\n📝 Please register using the links below or by scanning the QR codes in the poster:\n📍 Onsite: https://tinyurl.com/32wdr5t8\n📍 Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/3ukrjjp8\n\n👀 We’d love to see you!\n\nSource: UP School of Economics Facebook

SUMMARY:"Breast Cancer Detection in the Philippines Using Machine Learning Approaches: A Pilot Study"
DESCRIPTION:For 2026 Women’s Month\, join the UPISC\, in partnership with the UP School of Library and Information Studies (UPSLIS)\, for a webinar entitled “Breast Cancer Detection in the Philippines Using Machine Learning Approaches: A Pilot Study” with Asst Prof. Maria Maura S. Tinao\, Graduate Program Coordinator at the SLIS at UP Diliman.\n\nIn this webinar\, Ms. Tinao will discuss the findings of her research on identifying individuals at high risk for breast cancer through advanced machine learning (ML) techniques. As AI and ML continue to reshape healthcare\, these tools enable early detection and enhanced decision-making in cancer management. Using a pilot study of women from Olongapo City and Zambales\, the research explores how algorithms like K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Logistic Regression can predict health outcomes based on significant lifestyle and clinical characteristics. However\, the integration of these predictive models also highlights the need for refined data and additional predictors to improve accuracy in real-world medical applications.\n\n🗓 Date: 27 March 2026 (Friday)\n🕒 Time: 2:00 PM PHT\n💻 Via Zoom\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Attendees will receive a certificate of participation after the completion of the evaluation form at the end of the webinar.\n\nRegistration Link: https://tinyurl.com/UPISCWebinar2026-03 \n\nSource: University of the Philippines Intelligent Systems Center Facebook

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/HealthUpdatesWebinar279 \n \nWebinar #279\nMarch 27\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nBato sa Bato: Bakit Marami Akong Gamot?\nNew Guidelines on Urolithiasis\n\nPresenter:\nDr. Marie Carmela M. Lapitan\nProfessor\, Department of Surgery\, UP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital\nFellow\, Philippine Urological Association\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #279\nMarch 27\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nBato sa Bato: Bakit Marami Akong Gamot?\nNew Guidelines on Urolithiasis\n\nIn the evolving landscape of Philippine public health\, the rising prevalence of urolithiasis presents a significant clinical and socioeconomic challenge that demands a unified\, multidisciplinary response. As we navigate the complexities of metabolic disturbances and environmental factors unique to our archipelago\, it becomes imperative for frontline healthcare providers to sharpen their diagnostic acumen and therapeutic strategies.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will attempt to bridge the gap between advanced surgical interventions and the essential primary care management of nephrolithiasis\, ureterolithiasis\, and cystolithiasis. The discourse will move beyond basic pathophysiology to explore the intricate mechanisms of crystal nucleation\, growth\, and aggregation within the renal papillae\, particularly as they relate to the dietary habits and climate-induced dehydration patterns observed in the Filipino population. We will discuss the latest evidence-based protocols in medical expulsive therapy\, the nuanced application of metabolic stone workups\, and the critical role of diagnostic imaging in differentiating obstructive uropathy from masquerading abdominal pathologies. We will also highlight the pharmacological intricacies of urinary pH modulation and the technical precision required in laboratory stone analysis\, thus ensuring that every member of the patient’s care team is equipped with the latest clinical insights.\n\nOur main speaker is Dr. Marie Carmela M. Lapitan\, who is a Professor from the Department of Surgery of the UP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital as well as a Fellow of the Philippine Urological Association. Join us as we elevate our collective standard of care\, reduce the burden of recurrent stone disease\, and optimize health outcomes for patients across the Philippines.
