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.

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:Kampihan Kung Kampihan: Ang Oposisyon\, ang Koalisyon\, at ang mga Tunguhin ng Demokrasyang Filipino
DESCRIPTION:The UP Third World Studies Center\, in collaboration with the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Southeast Asia\, invites the public to Kampihan Kung Kampihan: Ang Oposisyon\, ang Koalisyon\, at ang mga Tunguhin ng Demokrasyang Filipino\, the fourth and final installment of the 2025-26 UP TWSC Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo Jr. Public Forum Series: Bugso at Bisa ng Magkakasalungat na Pagkilos sa Demokrasya.\n\n📆 DATE: March 12\, 2026 (Thursday)\n⏰ TIME: 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM\n📍 VENUE: Pilar Herrera Lecture Hall\, Palma Hall\, College of Social Sciences and Philosophy\, University of the Philippines Diliman\n📝 REGISTER: https://bit.ly/TWSCKampihan\n\nAlliances and factions are strong political tools. The Dutertes and Marcoses not only continue to grow in popularity but also sustain their political legitimacy through the security granted by their allies and supporters. Despite its dissolution\, the UniTeam has shown the power of what a collaboration of forces can do. Beyond familial labels\, the Philippine government is built on the accumulation of elite interests\, networks\, and favors that mutated the country’s political culture into a nigh impenetrable elite-led democracy.\n\nTo combat this\, an opposition is therefore sought after. Ideally\, a unified one\, free from any ties to the country’s gluttonous oligarchy. A tall order for those already jaded and disillusioned by the outcomes of “tactical alliances.” Instead of realizing a solidified anti-elite opposition\, the best that has come from these progressive forces are fragmented movements and campaigns. With glaring symptoms such as the occurrence of splintered anti-corruption protests\, fractured support for candidates and parties\, disjunct EDSA commemorations\, as well as varying positions on the resignation of public officials\, a solidified opposition to lead popular democracy appears to be far from reach.\n\nNow that Sara Duterte has announced her bid for presidency\, the publics are on their toes to block the punisher’s clan from returning to Malacanang. Thus\, it appears that not only is a united opposition the only collective conundrum for Filipino progressives but so is the resolution for a mutually-agreed upon standardbearer that can trump the Dutertes in 2028.\n\nThe final installment of the 2025-2026 Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo Jr. Public Forum Series confronts the troublesome predicament of opposition-building. The discussion raises the concerning question of how a corrupt system can be changed with a fragmented progressive opposition—an opposition that often treats its allies as rivals? Is a unified progressive coalition even possible in a symptomatically pluralistic political landscape? How can this fragmentation shape the political climate and democratic mobilization of 2026 going into the 2028 national elections? Who has authority in constructing the composition and goals of this coalition? Can the progressives progress from this dilemma? What would be the democratic agenda of this broad coalition of progressives?\n\nℹ️ Read more about the 2025-25 UP TWSC Francisco “Dodong” Nemenzo Jr. Public Forum here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HRevt83h/\n\nSource: UP Twsc Facebook

SUMMARY:Villages on fire from the Revolution of 1896 to World War II
DESCRIPTION:The UP Department of History would like to invite everyone to attend the public lecture of Prof. Greg Bankoff\, Ph.D. (Ateneo de Manila University) entitled Villages on fire from the Revolution of 1896 to World War II. The lecture will be held on March 12\, 2026 (Thursday)\, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM\, at the Silid Balatik\, Pav 2\, Palm Hall\, UP Diliman.\n\nREGISTER HERE:\nhttps://tinyurl.com/VillagesOnFire\n\nABSTRACT\nThe traditional Filipino house was well adapted to its environment—and dangerously flammable. Built of light materials and clustered into barrios\, villages burned quickly and often. A stray spark from a hearth\, a toppled oil lamp\, or a misfired firecracker could ignite an entire settlement. Many fires\, however\, were deliberate. Flame was a weapon of war\, used to intimidate\, punish\, or destroy. Hundreds of barrios were torched during the Spanish and Philippine–American Wars and again in World War II.\n\nYet despite their frequency\, village fires have left little historical trace. Drawing on the Historical Data Papers (1951)\, this study reconstructs a village fire regime shaped by combustible construction\, new technological sources of ignition\, and the recurrent weaponisation of fire. In contrast to the urban “fire gap\,” village fires did not decline but often intensified\, at times catalysing community renewal. Recognising village fire as a distinct category challenges Western fire typologies and broadens the environmental history of fire.\n\nSource: UP Departamento ng Kasaysayan Facebook

SUMMARY:"Sharp Sensitivity Bounds for Markowitz Portfolio Optimization"
DESCRIPTION:📣 HAPPENING ON FRIDAY\, March 6\, 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 first seminar in the series this March\, featuring researchers from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Research Academy.\n\n🧠📚💡Abstract: We derive sharp bounds on the sensitivity of Markowitz-optimal portfolio weights to changes in expected returns. Unlike the seminal Best–Grauer (1991) bounds\, our results remain valid under arbitrary convex constraints\, and the analysis does not require an invertible covariance matrix. The bounds remain governed by extremal eigenvalues and unify stability analysis across constrained and unconstrained settings. We further show that the standard budget and nonnegativity constraints induce an implicit ℓ1-regularization\, yielding sparse and stable portfolio solutions.\n\nThese findings clarify the structural drivers of portfolio instability and reinforce the theoretical rationale for constrained optimization and shrinkage in noisy\, data-limited environments. – with Elfred John C. Abacan and Maria Margarita Debuque-Gonzales\n\n📝 Please register using the links below or by scanning the QR codes in the poster:\n📍 Onsite: https://tinyurl.com/4sc6bdb5\n📍 Zoom: https://tinyurl.com/bdzkw8ur\n\n👀 We’d love to see you there!

SUMMARY:Health Updates Webinar #276 "May TB Kaya Ako\, Kahit Wala Akong Ubo?" The Use of AI for TB Mass Screening
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/HealthUpdatesWebinar276 \n  \nWebinar #276\nMarch 6\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nMay TB Kaya Ako Kahit Wala Akong Ubo?\nThe Use of AI for TB Mass Screening\n\nPresenter:\nDR. PAULYN JEAN B. ROSELL-UBIAL\nExecutive Director\, Philippine Tuberculosis Society Inc.\nSecretary\, Department of Health (2016-2017)\n\n———————————————————–\n\nWebinar #276\nMarch 6\, 2026 (Friday)\, 12:00 noon\nMay TB Kaya Ako Kahit Wala Akong Ubo?\nThe Use of AI for TB Mass Screening\n\nThe persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains one of the most significant challenges to global public health\, particularly in high-burden settings where the clinical presentation of the disease often defies traditional diagnostic expectations. While a chronic\, productive cough has long been established as the hallmark symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis\, a growing body of evidence suggests that a substantial proportion of infectious cases are subclinical or asymptomatic at the time of screening. This diagnostic gap\, which includes the phenomenon of “TB without a cough”\, necessitates a paradigm shift in our approach to active case finding.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, we will provide a comprehensive deep dive into the pathophysiology of subclinical tuberculosis and the inherent limitations of symptom-based screening protocols. As frontline defenders of community health\, it is imperative to understand how subclinical infections can contribute to ongoing community transmission despite the absence of overt respiratory distress. The core of our discussion will center on technological advancements that offer a scalable\, highly sensitive\, and objective method for identifying subtle abnormalities that may be overlooked by the human eye\, particularly in high-throughput mass screening environments where radiologist availability is often a bottleneck. We will discuss how AI algorithms are trained to recognize patterns associated with early-stage TB\, effectively serving as a force multiplier for diagnostic accuracy. We will explore the nuances of screening sensitivity versus specificity and how these digital tools can be seamlessly integrated into existing primary care workflows to ensure that no patient is left undiagnosed. Our main discussant is Dr. Paulyn Jean B. Rosell-Ubial\, who is the Executive Director of the Philippine Tuberculosis Society Inc. and previously served as DOH Secretary from 2016-2017.\n\nJoin us and gain knowledge on how to implement more rigorous screening strategies\, which ultimately contribute to the global goal of ending the TB epidemic through early detection and rapid intervention.
