The Department of Social Sciences honors the remarkable life of Prof. Reginald S. Vallejos as a dedicated educator, academic union leader, community organizer, and consumer activist. Consistent with his vision of an alternative development order, Prof. Vallejos’ progressive ideas and ideals inform his incisive lectures in the university halls, compelling speeches in protest actions, and critical standpoints in media interviews.
As a fulltime faculty member in the Development Studies Program, Prof. Vallejos handled courses in development planning and policy formulation, program administration and project management, and international political economy. He also served as practicum and thesis adviser of Development Studies junior and senior students, guided by the liberating framework of development research as committed research. Concurrently, he also acted as the coordinator of the Master of Management Program and taught graduate courses in public management.
True to his pro-people, decolonial, and transformative praxis, Prof. Vallejos served as the president of the All UP Academic Employees Union – UP Manila Chapter and spokesperson of the SUKI Network, advocating for participatory governance, dignity of work, and consumer welfare. Those of us whom he has inspired, taught, and organized will carry forward his legacy of challenging the status quo and creating a better society for all.
Maraming salamat at pinakamataas na pagpupugay, kasamang Reggie!
