With the intent to 鈥渂alance the scholarly and policy dimensions of social science research鈥� and in an attempt to address 鈥淧hilippine socio-economic and education issues,鈥� the RCSSED, specifically its newly minted Research Utilization Unit, provided the platform for researchers to use their study鈥檚 recommendations as bases for policy. Among the possibilities are inclusion as bases for bills and ordinances, among others.

The presenters were the following: Sr. Teacher Philippe Jose S. Hernandez (Social Health Studies); Prof. Moises Norman Z. Garcia, PhD (Sustainability Studies); Assoc. Prof. Ronaldo R. Cabauatan, PhD (Business Studies); Prof. Noel G. Asiones, PhD (Church and Society); Asst. Prof. Carol Geraldine C. Pablo, MSc (Social Health Studies); Asst. Prof. Frederick I. Rey, PhD (Politics and Public Policy); Prof. Rachelle B. Lintao, PhD (Language Studies); Asst. Prof. Jeremaiah M. Opiniano, PhD (Community-Engaged Studies); Asst. Prof. Joreen T. Rocamora, PhD (former academic researcher and incumbent Office of Public Affairs Director); Prof. Arlen A. Ancheta, PhD (Sustainability Studies); and Prof. Evelyn A. Songco, PhD (Education and Leadership).

The RCSSED鈥檚 Research Utilization Unit, headed by Rey, anchors itself on three pillars: life and dignity (buhay at dangal); human rights (karapatang pantao); and democracy (demokrasya). According to RCSSED Director Jeremaiah Opiniano, the Center aims to have more regular engagements with policy makers in the future and expressed openness to having the researchers work on topics/issues of interest to the local legislators and officials.

Doria鈥檚 paper, co-written with Ma. Angelika Christine B. Asprec, Renee A. Atienza, Gizelle E. Benabese, Maria Andrea O. Cayetano (all alumnae of the program), and faculty member , was a mixed-methods research that used a survey and close-ended question 鈥渢o gauge the extent to which the students perceive the graduate tributes and learning outcomes of the curriculum are integrated within the particular courses.鈥�

Results of the study revealed that 鈥渆ach course targeted different learning outcomes or competencies, and therefore each graduate attribute generated its own shape on the radar plot. The general weighted average for the respective Thomasian Graduate Attribute (THOGA) was given specific ranges of value for verbal interpretation. The graduate attributes and learning outcomes suggest concordance with the pharmacy curriculum. 鈥楽ervant-Leader鈥� appeared to receive less relative emphasis at the course level compared to the three other attributes.鈥�

The mapping process allowed an evaluation of attributes and learning outcomes. The radar plots provided a visual representation of the data. The respondents鈥� feedback was generally positive. Recommendations are made for the improvement of the pharmacy curriculum.

鈥淣apakalaki ang nagawa at naiambag ng mg Tomasinong guro sa mga ma-tagumpay na Tomasino. Sigurado ako na kabilang kayo sa inspirasyon ng mga mag-aaral sa kanilang pagsusumikap na makamit at matupad ang kanilang mga pangarap. Hindi lamang iyan maliit na bagay,鈥� Rector Rev. Fr. Herminio V. Dagohoy, O.P. said in his message. 鈥淧inapatunayan ito ng napakaraming mahuhusay at kapuri-puring indibidwal na mula sa iba鈥檛-ibang larangan na nagmula sa ating pamantasan,鈥�

According to Fr. Dagohoy, the theme underscores the relationship between dignity and quality. 鈥淎ng dignidad ng guro ay nakabase sa kanyang atas, sa kanyang mandato, sa kanyang responsibilidad; samakatuwid, sa kanyang tungkuling ginagampanan: ang paghubog sa mga kamalayan upang masusing timbangin ang katwiran at turuan ang mag-aaral kung papaano umiwas sa panlilinlang, manindigan sa katotohanan, at ipaglaban ang katarungan.鈥�

鈥淎ng saligan ng dignidad ng pagiging guro ay ayon sa antas ng kanyang pagtupad sa atas na iginagawad sa kanya; ito ang nag-aangat sa guro. Ginagawa siyang kakaiba at nagtatangi sa kanya sa ibang mga larangan,鈥� Dagohoy added.

Give Students a Chance

Honorary Speaker Prof. Gerardo Janairo, PhD, De La Salle University Chancellor and a Thomasian from the College of Science, recalled his days in UST as a BS Chemistry student who spent his college days with a bad start. Janairo turned this around, though, credited his Thomasian professors for giving him a lending hand in times of trouble and most especially in retaking the bar exams. 鈥淪ila ang mga tao na nagbigay ng inspirasyon sa akin at nagbigay ng pag-asa,鈥� he said.

As a professor, Janairo said he preferred to handle 鈥渞epeater sections鈥� and underscored his love for both his profession and his students. Being a product of second chances himself, Janairo justified that he will do what he can to bring the best of his students: 鈥�Buong tiyaga ko silang tinuturuan, tinutulungan, at binibigyan ng pag-asa. Marami akong mag-aaral na nabigyan ng pagkakataon tulad ng ginawa ng dati kong mga guro sa UST.鈥�

The annual recognition program conferred the following awards: Gawad Benavides (for length of service); Gawad San Alberto Magno (for outstanding research); Gawad Santo Domingo (for outstanding community development program); Gawad San Lorenzo Ruiz (for outstanding achievement, as recognized nationally or internationally); and the Hall of Fame Award (for receiving three awards in the Dangal ng UST, except the Gawad Benavides).
