https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yObYIw6f4C7N-GpkLNsJujmb4qZhFhkT

On the 101st Loyalty Day here in the University of the Philippines Los Baños, or the celebration of UP students and faculty serving the call of duty, honor and country during the first world war, I was able to interview one of UPLB’s alumni about his experiences and the key lessons he has learned during his stay in UPLB. His name is Wenceslao Dela Viña, batch 78 of Agricultural Engineering, and batch 84 of Masters in Agricultural Engineering.

He stated that he chose UP because of his two elder sisters, who also studied in the same university.

Kasi yung dalawa kong elder sisters dito nag-aral tapos kami ang first batch na kumuha ng UPCAT. Before hindi required, tapos ayun nakapasa ako kaya dito ako nag-aral sa UP.
Wenceslao, Los Baños

During his stay in UP, he said that he has learned two things, being a critical thinker and the need to serve the country.

Ang isa ay yung critical thinking, you have to reason out, kailangan idefend mo yung mga ideas mo, hindi spoonfeeding kasi sa UP eh and the need to serve the country.
Wenceslao, Los Baños

On the days of November 11-15, 2019, the Department of Science and Technology visited Los Baños by sending its two buses to present the elementary, high school and college students its new mobile science learning facility, the “nuLab.”

Devcom is the NEW THING!

As students taking BS Development Communication in University of the Philippines Los Baños, many will approach and ask, “What is DevCom?,” “Is it like MassCom, but with a heart?,” or “What jobs/opportunities will you get from taking DevCom course?” At first, we have no idea what to say. After weeks studying, we now have answers to those questions. Here is a video introducing Development Communication and the top three questions answered by BS DevCom freshmen students.

Ginanap ang taunang Christmas Tree Lighting noong ika-19 ng Nobyembre, 2019 sa Unibersidad ng Pilipinas, Los Banos. Dinaluhan ito ng maraming tao upang matunghayan ang opisyal na pagsisimula ng Pasko sa Elbi. Kasabay ng malamig na simoy na hangin ang pagningning ng mga mata at pagtawa ng mga tao.

UPCAT 2019

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PmE2NE7bbHYvLWzMxzeXPSIA6uNnH9PI

It is the time of the year again where students line up to take the most anticipated college entrance test in the country, the University of the Philippines College Admission Test or UPCAT.

This happened on October 5-6, 2019 that took place in the different parts of the country, and here in the Bulacan State University, one of UPCAT’s testing centers, I was able to interview an examinee about his experiences in UPCAT and why he chose to take it.

He said that he was really so nervous before taking the UPCAT since it was so special for him to pass it.

Since special para sakin ang UPCAT, mas nakakakaba. Sa UP ko gusto makapasok kaya mas nagprepare ako para dito. Nagaral ako para sa UPCAT til the night before.
Marcel, Bulacan

And when he was asked why he took the exam, he said that he want to pass it because it is the most prestigious university in the Philippines, plus the green environment and the open-mindedness within it. He also added that since he was a child, he was already exposed in the surroundings of the university which led to his desire of entering it.

Una, syempre alam kong no. 1 ang UP sa pilipinas, wala nang paligsahan pa doon. Ikalawa, nagbibigay ito ng feeling na parang paaralan talaga siya. simoy ng hangin, mga taong nagbibigay ng kani-kaniyang mga opinion at iba pa. At ikatlo, magmula pa noong bata ako ay bumibisita na ako at ginusto ko nang makapasok sa UP.

Ang mga residente ay hindi nagpatinag sa maulan na panahon at tumuloy pa rin upang makanood ng bailamos dance competition na isa sa mga programa ng ikalabingwalong bañamos festival ng Los Banos.

Sa kabila ng maulan na panahon, ang mga residente ng bayan ng Los Banos ay hindi nagpatinag upang masaksihan ang isa sa programa ng Banamos festival, ang Bailamos dance competetion.

Ang Multipurpose/Evacuation Center sa bario ng Baybayin ay dinagsa ng madaming tao upang mapanood ang nasabing kompetisyon na binubuo ng sampung grupo mula sa iba’t-ibang parte ng Laguna.

Ang mga kalahok ay ang mga sumusunod:

King of buck
South style flava
Hybrid buck
Next attraction
Squammies
Street kings
NDGC vengeance
Nazty boys
G7
Scammaz

Nakabibinging mga tili at sigawan ang nangibabaw sa buong lugar. Bunga ito ng pagkamalas ng mga kasaling kalahok ng kani-kanilang sariling estilo at kahusayan sa pagsasayaw na talaga namang ikinatuwa ng maraming manonood.

Pagkatapos ng lahat ng pagtatanghal, nagbigay naman ng isang especial na pagtanghal o intermission, ang isang grupong kasama si konsehal Dex Concio, at isang united dance, na pinangunahan ng mga kalahok para sa isang huling pagsasayaw, bilang isang sibil na kompetition.

Ang mga mananalong grupo sa kompetisyon ay makakatanggap ng 10,000 pesos at sertipiko para sa ikalawang pwesto, 15,000 pesos at sertipiko naman para sa unang pwesto at 20,000 pesos at sertipiko sa kampeon. Binigyan din ng isang espesyal na parangal ang pinakanatatanging grupo sa lahat na pinagbasehan mula sa pagtanghal ng united dance.

Bago parangalan ang mga kalahok, ang mga hurado ay binigyan muna ng sertipiko ng pagkalugod o certificate of appreciation bilang pagtanggap nila sa imbitasyon ng pagiging hurado ng kompetisyon.

Sa huli, binigay na ang resulta at pinarangalan na ang mga kalahok. Ang mga nanalo ay ang mga sumusunod na grupo: Nazty boys sa ikalawang pwesto, Scammaz sa unang pwesto na napanalunan din ang special award na “Dance Group of the Year” at ang kampeon ng kompetisyon, ang grupo ng G7.

Ayon sa isang miyembro ng grupo, ang kanilang pagkapanalo ay espesyal at natatangi sa kadahilanang ito ang kanilang pinakaunang kompetisyon na na napanalunan bilang isang bagong grupo. Sila ay nagpapasalamat din sa kanilang mga magulang na nagbigay sa kanila ng suporta at lakas at sinabing ibibigay nila ang kalahati ng kanilang premyo sa mga ito.

Interviewer: Ano pong nararamdaman niyo nung nanalo po kayo?

Interviewee: Sobrang saya po namin kasi first time po kaming nanalo at first time din pong nagawa yung grupo namin.

Interviewer: Ano pong gagawin niyo sa premyong napanalunan niyo?

Interviewee: Paghahatian po namin at ibibigay po yung kalahati sa parents po namin kasi sila po yung number one na supportive po samin.

As you can see, most of them have improved but some are not, and those improvements still have not reached its maximum capability. This explains that my first semester in development communication had helped me enhance my qualities and skills but still need a few upgrades.

My time here in development communication has been a stressful but fun journey. It taught me a lot about different things, it added further knowledge on the things I do know already plus it showed me things I have no knowledge about, particularly in the present social issues. Indeed, it was a memorable journey, a one for the books experience.
