26YP hinirang bilang may Pinakamahusay na Papel Pananaliksik sa PASADO 2024

Wagi bilang Best Presenter ng kanilang saliksik ang isa sa dalawang koponan ng mga mag-aaral ng 26YP na lumahok sa katatapos na ika-21 Pambansang Seminar-Worksyap ng Pampelikulang Samahan ng mga Dalubguro (PASADO).

Hinirang na Best Presenter ang grupo nina Luke Coronel, Patricia A. Cunanan, Ethan Dominic A. Cosiaco, Maria Katrina B. Quilala at Kian John L. Rigor. Ang kanilang pananaliksik na ibinahagi ay pinamagatang “Marite(Gen)Z: Neologismo, Varyasyon, Disinformation, at KaAKOhan; Pagpopook ng Salita sa Larangan ng Humanidades”.

Pinag-aralan ng kanilang pananaliksik ang etimolohiya at ebolusyon ng salitang “marites” na ginagamit sa kasalukuyan bilang neologismo ng “tsismis”. Bukod dito, kanilang ipinook ang paksa sa larangan ng Humanidades at paggamit nito sa panahon ng social media.

“Nakatataba po ng puso ang ganitong karangalan,” ayon kay Coronel, bagaman at kinakabahan sila dahil una nilang paghahapag ito ng kanilang paksa sa ganitong klaseng pagtitipon.

Bukod pa sa kanila, nagbahagi din ng kanilang pananaliksik sina Antoinette L. Angeles, Sandra Ellisha M. Fano, Cristen G. Jacobo, at Martine Isabel P. Leon. Ang ibinahagi nilang pananaliksik ay pinamagatang “Kunig: Ugnayang Kromatiko, Simbolismo at Pampolitikang Kalagayan at Ideolohiya; Pagdalumat ng Salita sa Larangang Pampolitikang Ekonomiya”.

Kasalukuyang nasa ikalawang taon ng Junior College Program ang mga nasabing mag-aaral. Pawang produkto ang kanilang mga pananaliksik ng kanilang klase sa FIL012: Pagbasa at Pagsuri ng mga Teksto tungong Pananaliksik. 

Nagsilbing tagapayo ng dalawang grupo si G. Albert Lagrimas mula sa Departamento ng Filipino ng UA&P.

The Academic Quality Assurance Office (AQA) conducted on October 15 a cascade of the updates on UA&P’s 2024 Sustainability Report, the University’s fourth sustainability report since its inaugural edition in 2012.
 
In the session attended by UA&P President Dr. Winston Conrad Padojinog, Vice President for Business Development Dr. Robert Roque, and some unit heads, AQA presented the key developments across the University's economic, environmental, social, and academic aspects. The cascade also highlighted UA&P’s progress towards its targets under the 3x3x2030 strategic plans and performance indicators.
 
Additionally, the Center for Social Responsibility (CSR), through Sustainability Specialist Cheska Cabugoy, briefly introduced the significance of sustainability and UA&P’s sustainability reporting process, laying the groundwork for the understanding of the audience.
 
The 2024 Sustainability Report consolidated data and insights from key units such as Financial Management and Reporting (FMR), Human Resource Management (HRM), Assets and Facilities Management (AFM), Center for Student Affairs (CSA), Office of the Registrar (REG), and various administrative and academic departments. Following Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, the report covers 2019 to 2022. 
 
Currently in its finalization stage, the report is expected to be released this October, marking a significant step in UA&P’s ongoing commitment to transparency and sustainability.
