UA&P celebrates University Day, honors employee research excellence

On August 15, 2024, the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) held its University Day celebration at the Li Seng Giap Auditorium with the University Day Lecture and the Awards for Publication of Scholarly Work.

This year’s University Day Lecture was delivered by UA&P Associate Professor Dr. George Manzano, who spoke on “The Free Rider Problem in APEC’s Trade in Environmental Goods Initiative.” Dr. Manzano highlighted the transborder nature of environmental issues.

“Pollution, global warming, and climate disturbances cross national borders. Therefore, solutions must also be transborder — either global or regional," the former dean of the School of Economics said. "A single country cannot tackle these issues alone; addressing climate change and other environmental concerns requires international cooperation.”

The celebration also included the Awards for Publication of Scholarly Work, which recognized UA&P employees for their outstanding research and creative contributions. This year’s distinguished awardees are the following:

• Dr. Rolando T. Dy (+), Mr. Senen U. Reyes, Ms. Marie Annette G. Dacul, Ms. Ditas R. Macabasco, and Ms. Joy Kristel L. Orzales
• Dr. Jerome G. Kliatchko and Mr. Roshan Uttamchandani
• Dr. Veronica Esposo Ramirez
• Dr. Joachim Emilio B. Antonio
• Ms. Zyra F. Lentija
• Dr. Juan O. Mesquida
• Dr. Josefti C. Nito
• Dr. Philip Z. Peckson, Dr. Joachim Emilio B. Antonio, Mr. Vince Raphael V. Agcaoili, and Ms. Meryl Kei Cariaga Hernandez
• Dr. Rafael Santos
• Mr. Vince Rafael V. Agcaoili
• Mr. Louise Vincent B. Amante
• Dr. Ruel V. Maningas
• Mr. Justin Reginald F. Nery

The University Day was capped by the celebration of the Holy Mass at the Sancta Maria Stella Orientis Oratory at 12:05 pm.
