TO:
SUBJECT:

Please constitute yourselves into a subcommittee of the UPCASReview Committee [Administrative Order No.1, dated 2 January1989). The specific task of this Subcommittee shall be to study thepresent methods of administering the UPCAT in order to make itmore efficient with a view toward reducing the number of manpower and budget required and being able to release the UPCATresults much faster than they are being released now.
At present, the UPCAT project has an annual budget of aboutP3.0M involving the full-time involvement of at least 50 people. Ofthese 50,25 have just been classified as contractual U.P. personnelfunded from the UPCAT Trust Fund. The other 25 are still classified as project personnel funded from UPCAT funds in the U.P.Foundation but it is likely that they too will be recommended forinclusion as' contractual U.P. employees. The absorption of 50 personnel into the University runs COunter to a long-time policy ofreducing our non-faculty complement. It is to be noted that at present, the Diliman Registrar's Office already has 60 full-time people,apart from those 50 in the UPCAT project.
At present, the UPCAT is administered in October but theresults are not released until the first week of April. The Board ofRegents Wishes that the period be shortened so that results can bereleased much earlier.
Do coordinate your work with the UPCAS Review Committeebut your specific emphasis witl be on making UPCAT proceduresmore efficient. Please complete your study by end of February or alittle later. It is understood that in finalizing your recommendations,you shall be consulting not only the Registrar's Office but also theUPCAS Review Committee.

"Collections from the Education Development Fee shall be
shared amonq University units. The collecting units, howevershould get the bulk of the increase in collections but 10% of the
increase shall go to University Administration, to be distributedto the less endowed units in recognition of the principle ofsharfnq."
With regard the use of Educational Development Fee (as approved by the BOA on April 24 19881, I am issuing the following
clarification (with the changes shown underlined);
In this connection, I invite all Chancellors to submit for information/approval by the BOR at its March meeting:
This means that, if for a constituent university, the income fromthe alien/foreign student's fee was P500.000/year and the income
using the EDF rate was P700,OOO/year, then only the increase ofP200,OOO lor 90% of it) shall be distributed back tothe collectingunits.
In April 1988 it was agreed that the remaining 100/0 shall beshared by units within a constitutent university. (Sharing among
constituent universities shall be deferred for two years, i.e. beqin
ning with the 1990 EDF income). Please be reminded that
"Prior approval from the BOR shall be obtained before any
collection from EDF can be disbursed to improve lab facilities,

Dear Dr. Cerrescoso:
The renovation and modernization of the Philippine GeneralHospital (PGH) are now nearing completion. The P405,OOO,OOO
new Out-Patient Department (OPD) funded from a Japanese grant
aid will be operational in March of this year. The so-catted 7-storeycentral block is now being equipped to operationatize the new labo
ratories, operating rooms, intensive care unit, nursery, radiology andother central service facilities. Funds for the equipment for the
central block will come from the National Government (supplementa I budget) and from Ita lian and Spanish government grants.It is now certain that adequate funds will be available for the basicequipment needed for most hospital services. What is not available
is money for maintaining these expensive and state-of-the-artequipment in order to put them to proper and lasting use.
After a thorough study on how best to maintain these equip.
ment, it is the opinion of experts as well as of the PGH Advisory
Board that PGH should contract the maintenance of equipment and
facilities to qualified parties, preferably their manufacturers. This,
however, will require a big amount of money which cannot realistically come from the PGH budget or even the National Govern
ment. Neither would foreign governments be interested in funding
the maintenance of such equipment.
One way of provid ing this necessary fund is to set up a PGHEndowment Fund, the proceeds of which wllt be earmarked for the
purpose. A very conservative estimate of the amount needed for
maintenance of the equipment of the Outpatient Department, one
of the five major units of the hospital, runs to about P8 Million per
year. Extrapolation from this figure indicates that a minimum of
P10a Million is needed as initial capital, the income of which canmaintain a significant proportion of critical instruments.
It is in this connection that we respectfullv request the Philip
pine Charity Sweepstakes Office to consider granting the Universityof the Philippines the amount of PlOD Million as a contribution to
the endowment fund. the proceeds of which wilt be used to ensurea high standard of medica! care from PGH through maintenance of
its equipment.
We are aware that the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes has beensupporting many worthwhile causes and programs benefitting
various segments of our society. Our expanded and modernizedPGH, a significant part of the national health system, is one such
program geared to health as a basic need of our people. PGH is
serving more than 400,000 patients a year and wiH soon be able toextend its services to over 600,000. Moreover it is the foremost
training hospital in the country. accommodating the needs of newdoctors from various medical schools. The support that your Office
can give to a vital need of PGH will ensure that our country'slargest hospital complex will be able to provide the best possible
health care to its clientele, most of whom are indigent.
We shall be glad to discuss this request further with you, should
you need more details regarding the matter.
Thank you.
With assurances of our highest esteem.

1. A draft bill entitled "An Act Supporttnq the Extension of UPPrograms and Services to Mindanao and Appropriating Funds There
fore."2. UP in Mindanao Update, Issue No.1, August. 1988.
Both of the above address the fact that less than 10% of UP students come from Mindanao. We can and we ought to improve upon
that figure, given the importance of Mindanao to the nation.We have therefore requested Senator Edgardo J. Angara and
Congressman Carlos M. Padilla, Chairman of the Committee on Education inthe Senate and in the House of Representatives, respectivetv. to introduce and sponsor the above-mentioned bill. Your cosponsorship of the bilt would be at once welcome and crucial.
The draft bilt envisions consortium arrangements between UPand Mindanao universities, recommended by a Task Force created in1983 by then UP President Angara, as the means "most acceptable,
politically, economically. academicallv." far a UP presence in
Mindanao. It uses the United Nations University as model where the
approach is complementary. reinforcing and synergistic. rather than
.ccmoettttve and duplicating.The proposed bill provides for the following components of con
sortfurn arrangements: Il) a UP outreach program for teacher
renewal and teacher-tralnirq at the graduate level to benefit thefaculties of Mindanao universities and colleges, (2) UP fellowshipsfor faculty members of participating Mindanao universities andcoueaes tor graduate work at the University of the Philippines, (3)
UP scholarships for honor graduates of Mindanao high schools who

for admission to UP.UP in Mindanao Update (herewith) details a bit more the
approach we wish to take.With your great concern for the development of Mindanao, we
are hopeful that you will give the proposed bill your enthusiasticand all-out support. Ideally, the bill should become tawas early as

This is to endorse the request of the University of the Philippinesat Los Banos (UPLB) for financial assistance from the Ford Foundation in the amount of US $5,550.00 to help defray the cost ofplane fares and per diems of 3 UPLB senior officials for their return
visit to the People's Republic of China. The 3 officials would formpart of a delegation of 6 people {includinq Mrs. Maria Patroclnio E.
de Guzman and 2 other senior UPLB officials) who will constitute
the delegation to visit PRC on April 4-17,1989.
UPLB has served as host during the past several years to a
number of visiting officials and faculty members from universities
and research institutions from PRC. UPLB has also about 30 PRC
students in its graduate programs every semester. The delegationmembers plan to confer with officials of universities/research insti
tutes in PRC for strengthening of collaborative linkages between
these institutions and UPLB. Chancellor Raul P. de Guzman also
expects to discuss with appropriate officials in the government of
the People's Republic of China its active participation in the Eastern
Regional Organization for Public Administration (EROPAI.
We would like to reiterate our expression of gratitude to The
Ford Foundation for its continuing support and assistance to the
University of the Philippines.

lopment plays a very siqniflvant role in the Science and Tech
nology program of the country.
2. The development of geology, a scientific field essential for
human survival in the 21st century, will remain stunted in the
Philippines. Geologic knowledge is essential in addressing en
vironmental issuesand resources needed by modern man such
as water, soil Quality. and rock stability.
3. Geological research is a primary requisite to adequate
national planning. This is especially needed by the Philip
pines which has a long coastline, and is in an earthquake and
volcanic belt.
It is noteworthy that, as a result of the RP·German geology pro
ject, the graduate program in Geology has been revived with nine
(9) M.S. students defending their theses in 1988 and the first Ph.D.
cand idate scheduled to defend his d issartat ion early in 1989. Termi
nation of the project at this time will harm this program and serious
ly affect the supply of advanced manpower in geology.
Because of the crucial importance of implementing the proposed
extension of the RP-German Geology Project, may we request your
Office to arrange, at the earliest time convenient, a meeting between
the representatives of the German Government, NEDA, and the
University, so that the recent decision on the project may be recon
sidered.

Re: UP National Institute of Geological Sciences Proposal for
the Extension and Expansion of the RP-German GeologyProject
Dear Secretary Monsod:
We have been informed that the subject proposal has not been
included in the package of assistance in the just concluded bilateral
negotiations despite my confirmation last 20 October 1988 that theUniversity places the highest priority on this proposal.
Such a decision has a number of far-reaching consequences in
asmuch as this joint project between the Philippines and Germany isnot yet complete. This disruption of the development of expert
manpower in the Earth Sciences could have the following effects:
1. A setback in the science and technology development program of the National Government. Among the thirteen (13)
sectors identified by the Presidential Task Force in Scienceand Technology Development in its Status Report of 04
November 1978, manpower in the Earth Sciences is neededin at least the following sectors: marine fisheries and oceanography, energy, metals and engineering, construction,mining and minerals, and process industry. Manpower deve-
Dear Sir:
This is in connection with the payment of overtime claims of the
workers and employees of the U.-P-:Land Grant in Basilan City. Last
September 25, 1985, a favorable decision was rendered by the
Supreme Court on the appeal of the Mindanao Federation of Labor
for the payment of such claims. In view of this, may we request for
the release of P3,527,697.48, the amount needed to pay said over
time claims, chargeable against any savings of the National Government.
Please be informed that the Uruversttv paid the total amount ofP7,995,850.70 for separation and terminal leave of pay of theseemployees. To effect this payment, U.P. obtained a loan from NDGin the amount of P4.5 M loan from NDC will be paid from the ex
pected income from the lease of the land grant. However, with theimplementation of CARP, the expected income of the Unlversttvwill be reduced upon the transfer of the land grants to its tenants.
I think you will appreciate our earnestness to use our own resources to settle our obligations with our former employees. However,
this time around, we do need your assistance in locating P3,527,'697.48 to pay the overtime claims.
For your kind attention and consideration.

donor .In addition to the art sale, we are also launching two organiza

Dear Mrs. President:
The expansion and modernization programs of the Philippine
General Hospital jPGHl are nearing completion. When operational
in April 1989, PGH will have the largest and most modern outpatient department in the country and maybe the ASEAN region.
The in-patient facility will greatly improve not only its ability to
extend all levels of health care to indigent patients but also will
enable the University of the Philippines to double its capability in
training physicians and other health workers. New services will be
established, like the Trauma Center, Existing services in cancer care
and emergency medicine will be more comprehensive and up to
date.As you well know, Your Excellency, these programs are being
financed by the Filipino people thru their taxes greatly augmented
by generous help from friendly governments notably Japan. It was
through your representations during your official visit to Japan that
Japanese support for the PGH Out-Patient Department was assured.
Led by you. the efforts and understanding of other officials made
possible the financial assistance that PGH needed .
It is but fitting that the formal opening of the new PGH, not
only the Out-Patient Department building, be marked by an appro
priate ceremony. In this regard, Your Excellency, the University of
the Philippines is planning a program to cornmemctate the occasion.
This is to be held in April of this year with you as the guest of
honor. A good date would be the first week of April or such time as
would be convenient for you.In your speech, you could affirm the commitment of your
Administration to serve the poor and underprivileged segments ofour society through the expanded and modern health services of the

zatton of the physical facilities and other resources of the highschool for supporting tertiary-level proqrams that are relevant to theneeds of the region.
Finally, I wish to assure you that the University is committed toassist in the development of educational institutions in the region,though not necessarily through the offering of a high school butthrough more meaningful assistance to other secondary schools andto colleges and universities in the area.
Thank you.
This morning, the UP Board of Regents met to discuss, amongother things, the high schools in UP. My proposal which eventuallywas approved by the Board, called for the gradual phase-out of theUPCBHS. starting Academic Year 1989-1990. This proposal wasbased on a long and careful examination of the situation, the resultsof which' would like to share with you.
The Board of Regents approved the establishment of theUPCBHS in 1972 for the following reasons:a. The University High School can serve as a feeder for the UP at
Saguio.·b. The University High School can solve the rise in tuition fees and
the phasing out of some private schools in Baqulc.c. The University High School can provide better prospects for
college in terms of general education.d. The University High School can serve as an integral part of the
graduate program in education by serving as a laboratory anddemonstration school for prospective teachers.The Board's approval provides, however, that the high school in
UP at Baguio must be self-supporting: it should not entail anysubsidy from the budget of the university.
An examination of the present situation in 8aguio in relation to. the reasons for its establishment reveals the following:
a. On an insignificant number of UPCBHS graduates qualified foradmission and actually enrolled in UPCB from 1932 up to 1986.Out of the 1216 freshmen admitted by UPCB during this period,only 89 or 7.'Y/Q werE\ graduates of UPCBHS. The high schoolgraduated 273 students during this five-year period.
b. A survey made in August 1986 showed that UPCBHS chargedthe highest school fees at P1000 per year among the 10 highschools in the Baquio area that were surveyed by UPCB. Thelowest fees were charged by the following schools:
UB Science High School P150/yearPines City High School 182/yearBaquio City High School 266/yearBCF High School 596.54/year
The other schools surveyed charged P934 to P955/year withonly Baquio Patriotic High School charging as much as U.P. Thissurvey did not include Brent School which charges extremelyhigh fees.
c. From 1982 to 1986,153 UPCSHS graduates qualified for admission to the various units of the U.P. System out of a total 273UPCBHS graduates who took the UPCAT. This is much higherthan the national average of less than 2CYlo, but considerablylower than the 93% of UPLB Rural High School and 88% of theUP Iloilo High School.
d. UPCB does not offer programs in Education and its high schoolis not serving as a laboratory or demonstration school forprospective teachers.
When the UPCB was reorganized in 1976, the BOR providedfor the establishment of a Division of Education which shall becomposed of a Department of Professional Education and a HighSchool Department. Only the High School Department has beenin oontinuous operation but the Department of ProfessionalEducation was never organized.
The High School was given the opportunity to study thepossibility of making the high school a laboratory school of theDivision. The high school Principal was requested several timesto chair the committee to establish the Division of Education.The principal, however, declined the request because, accordingto her, the high school prefers the status quo.

Quezon City
Through: Director Emmanuel M. Dalman

Mrs. Natividad Lerma
Resident Auditor
University of the Philippines
Subject: Request to grant honoraria to eOA employees at UP
for the pre-audit of the P3.5 million overtime claims
of U.P. Bastlan Land Grant IUPLBGI workers
Dear Commissioner Fernandez:
Last September 25, 1985, the Supreme Court rendered a favorable decision on the appeal of the Mindanao Federation of Labor
lor the payment of overtime claims to former workers of UPBLG
amounting to P3,527,697.00.
The claims stretch from 1957 to 1984 - a span of 27 years
involving 365 monthly employees and 4,428 daily workers. Docu
ments which form the basis for computing claims consist of 35,640
Daily Time Records and 50,688 payroll sheets. Beneficiaries, under
standably. have not been passive in urging the speedy implement
atlon of the Supreme Court decision.
Because of the significance of the amount and the unexpected
ness 01 thf~ verdict. the Umvers.tv was compelled to write DBM
Secretnrv Guillermo Caraque for additinnal funds. The requested
amount, we were assured, is forthcoming.
There is still a problem though. It is imperative that supporting
documents be reviewed to make sure not only that individual claims
have been tairlv stated but also, and perhpas more importantly, that
all applicable laws and requlations are complied with in the entire
process of senlernem. Under these circumstances. we ten it prudent
to avail of COA's expertise.
Accordingly. representations were made with then Resident
Auditor Atty. Imelda Rodriguez. An initial examination on a
sampling basis was made by some mernbars of the resident auditing
staff and early findings disclosed a liberal share of adverse errors
in fact to an extent that the auditOrs felt a hundred percentexamination was warranted.
It is only our wish that these UPBLG workers' claims - extraordinary that thev are - be pre-audited because of our concern to
pay only the proper amounts in strict accord with audit inq rules and
requlat ions, and thus obviate the risk of later disallowances.
The sheer volume of work that" a hundred percent examination
entails and the exigencies of their normal duties would require the
audit inq staff to wcrk after regular office hours and even on Satur
days and Sundays. Working thus, they promised to finish the job
within three months. For this reason. we fell it jail' that the auditorsinvolved be granted reasonable extra compensation. The expenses
the Univer-sity will incur for their services will be worth the trade
off in monetary savings and the assurance of propriety their expertreview is expected to generate. .
M<JY we therefore .request clearance from the Commission to payhOnoraria to the auditors who would be involved in the abovementioned pre-audit undertaking.
The Commission's assistance and favorable consideration willfinally put this matter to rest to the benefit and relief of all partiesconcerned.
Thank you and warmest-reqards.

Dear Senator Tafiada:
As you may recall, on May 20.1988, at OUT luncheon meeting atthe Manila Hotel. we agreed that the UP should do a conversion
study of the US military facilities in the Philippines based on theproposal and budget that we submitted. For its title we have chosen
"A Study of Alternagive Uses of Military Baselands for Sustained
Development."Pending release of the funding which you requested from Sec
retary Guillermo Ceraque of the Department of Budget and Manage
ment, UP advanced P75,OOO in order not to delay the study. We
expected that this money would be reimbursed. We would like to
inform you that we have accomplished the following:

We would like to inform you further that the Department of
Budget and Management released, through the Department of
Foreign Affairs, the sum of P309,OOO for the UP to study the alter
native uses of US military facilities in the Philippines.
On this we would like to be clarified on its effect on our agree
ment for the UP to do a conversion study. In the letter of Secretary
Carague tc Secretary Raul Manglapus it was specified that the
money covers "the cost of Part II of a study on the economic con
version of the US military bases in the country." Does "Part II" in
the Caraque letter refer to the second part of the three-part "A
Study On Alternative Uses of Military Basetands for Sustainable
National Development" currently being done by a team of our
researchers? If this is the case, are we to infer that the rest of our
budget will be released upon the completion of this part of thestudy? If "Part II" refers to the UP's three part study as a whole,
does this mean that P309,OOO is the total amount that will be re
leased to the UP? Since P309,OOO ts-onlv 1/3 of our originalbudget, we will be forced to scale down considerably the research
if this were the case.To facilitate your response to this querrv. we would be grateful
if you could receive Professor Emmanuel C. Latlana who will dis
cuss the issues with you. The fate of the research depends on your
urgent answers.Thank you very much.

In response to President Corazon C. Aquino's desire, I cooperated last year and again this year in efforts to bring together thegraduating class of PMA and student leaders from UP and otheruniversities with a view to promoting better understanding amongyoung civilian and military leaders of our country. I have also submitted my ideas for more institutionalized interaction betweenuniversities and PMA for the purpose of providing PMA cadets ademocratic and liberal orientation.
However. I strongly believe that university leaders be left free topursue these matters and not be asked by Malacai'iang to meet underits auspices. I have great admiration and respect for the President ofthe Philippines. I am also grateful for her strong support of U.P.But it is un'fair to her that her office should appear to be the oneconvening university officials to consider curricula and other academic matters that, much as they are will"lng to help and cooperate,rightfully belong to their institutions to consider and decide as partof their institutional autonomy and academic freedom.
"Let me end by reiterating my willingness to cooperate independently, among my colleagues from the other universities. Infact, I sent General Andrew Francisco, the PMA Superintendent,this message last Saturday: "Congratulations to PMA Graduating
Class 1989 and the Academy Staff under your leadership. Regretunable to attend graduation ceremony. As you and I discussed in'presence of President Aquino I wish to reiterate willingness ofU.P. to cooperate with PMA in designing PMA curriculum integrating one or two years of education in a university. If you wishyou and I can sit down with colleagues and to plan a meeting Involving a wider group. With best wishes."

Please convey to the UPAA-Australia New South Wales Chapter,officers and members, the University's abiding gratitude for theirconcern and interest. They are truly her sons and daughters whofind sweet memories and a depth of meaning in the UPAA song,"U.P. Naming Maha!."
There are two matters in your tetter to me 122 February) that
need clarification from our end:
1. The "Proposed Projects" discussed by Prof. Abad and Dr.Carreon (28 September 1988);
2. The donation of books by 0.5. Pascual 13 December1988) to the Food Service and Nutrition Department,College of Home Economics, U.P. Diliman.
1. Prof. Abad wrote Dr. Carreon, 28 November 1988 (copy attached). To date, he has not received any response. We doneed information on fellowships/scholarships in New SouthWales. and on the four universities there and their main areasof strength from your own perspective.
It was Prof. Abad's understanding that the main area ofoperation, as it were, would be New South Wales and theUniversities there; hence, the information requested wouldbe very helpful. A number of our faculty have studied inNew South Wales, but such information as they are able tofurnish us would mostly be from memory. What is needed isup-to-date information, especiatlv brochures and catalogues.Re the specific "Proposed Projects" -1.1 Recognition of Overseas Professional Qualifications
Unfortunately, many of our academic units have beenunable to update their brochures/handbooks. Perhaps,for now, the V.P. Manila General Catalogue 1988-89
will suffice for the purpose; the medical professions
were foremost in Dr. Carreon's mind, and would indeedbe a good start.
1.2 Training Fellowships/Scholarships in New South Wales,funded by AIOAB.
Prof. Abad's understanding was that your Chapter
would help facilitate whatever may be needful to do.The first point in Dr, Carreon's proposed strategy was"(a) Identify priorities and specific requirements of theU.P,"
Prof. Abad had the impression that those AIDABfellowships/scholarships would be availed of in Universities in New South Wales; therefore, he sough Information on those Universities from your Chapter, as wellas what scholarships/fellowships are available in thoseUn iverait ies.
In any case. the University's priorities are in thegeneral areas of science and technology, energy, engineering, agriculture,' environmental management, andthe social sciences. Indeed, we would consider almostany area of study where there are opportunities forgraduate study because faculty development is a priority concern in the University.
1.3 Cooperation between U.P. and Universities in NewSouth Wales
We would welcome this. The proposed strategy isto "Identify and contact key officials in Universities inNew South Wales." We have no information on whothose "key officials" may be, for to the best of ourknowledge the U.P. has had no formal contact withthose officials.

Dear Dr. Majul:
It is my honor to inform you that the Board of Regents of the
Univer.sitv of the Philippines has decided to confer upon your good
self the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.The honorary degree is traditionally conferred upon individuals
for outstanding achievement in their field. The Board took special
note of your significant contributions to research on the history and
culture of Filipino Muslims. on the concept of Philippine nation
hood and the Filipino national community, as well as your valuable
contribution to the growth and development of the University.
We propose to confer the honorary degree upon you on Sunday,
April 2, this year during the General Commencement Exercises of
UP Diliman.
We would be most honored if you accept this recognition which
the University believes you truly deserve.
With all our good wishes and assurances of high esteem.
I've been trying to reach you be telephone, but without success.
Secretary Lourdes Ouisumbinq relayed your messageto me.We were sorry to miss you at the meeting yesterday of the
Governing Board of the UP Institute of Judicial Administration. I
learned too late that you couldn't come (late Sunday night), sowe decided to go ahead. However, we agreed we would not make
a decision until we could consult with you on the IJA.
The reorganization committee of the Law Complex is submitting
its report to me tomorrow. The next step is for the BOR committee
on reorganization to discuss the report with the members of the
Law Complex reorganization committee on March 17,1989. In the
report, the latter committee is recommending the establishment
under the Law Center of an Institute for the Administration of
Justice lIAJ) in addition to an Institute for Government and Law
Reform, an Institute of Human Rights, and an Institute of Inter
national Law Studies. All these Institutes will be UP academic units
operating within the framework of the reorganized Law Center and
College of Law, UP Dittman and the UP svs.em. The IAJ will not be
under the present Governing Board.
I'm proposing that the present Governing Board be transformed
into an Advisory or Consultative Council with the same composi.tion. This way the institutional autonomy of UP and the lines of
authority from the IAJ to the UP Board of Regents will be observ
ed. At the same time, UP and the Supreme Court will continue to
cooperate under a Memorandum of Agreement. I very much value
the linkage with the Judiciary at the highest levels, which enables
UP to work closely and effectively with the highest officials in
helping strengthen the Judiciary. We shall continue this important
linkage which you innovated. In fact, we can broaden it by linkingthe Judiciary with other academic units of UP as may be desired.
In any event, we'd like to discuss this vvith you, possibly at the
next meeting of the lJA Governing Board on March 14. Then we
shall take up a dfrat of the proposed Advisory or Consultative
Council and a draft of the Memorandum of Agreement.For your information, I'm enclosing a press release on the BOR's
approval of the Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program
(or Iskolar ng Bavan Program). I shall also send you a copy of theproposed reorganization plan of the Reorganization Committee of
the Law Complex.With best wishes.

Re: Your request for a Transfer Station site in U.P.
The area you. have identified as a possible site for a Transfer
Station happens to be part of an area earmarked for commercial
development in accordance with an overall U.P. Diliman Campus
Land Use Plan.
The Land Use Plan had been drawn up to make optimal use of
U.P. Dfttman's limited land resources consistent with its role as the
country's premier educational institution and filling its need to
qenerate enough financial resources to support its ever-expanding
academic, research and extension programs, given the perennial
limitation of government funding subsidy.
The commercial development of the area in question has in fact
started with the on.going construction of the U.P. Wet Market to
where the present Talipapa vendors on the other side (near U.P.
BLiSSl will be relocated.
A Transfer Station in the area for open-air waste and garbage
collection such as proposed by the MMC. however sanitary and well
maintained. will not fail to diminish the area's commercial appeal
and suitability. Even this early, the University has already received
a number of proposals from interested private developers.
Much as we recognize MMC's need for a Transfer Stat ion, we

Dear Prof. and Mrs. Bailen:
Besides imparting the best possible education to our students.the University has the important duty of instilling moral excellenceand discipline. to make them able and responsible members of oursociety. It is for this .reason that we try always strictly to observemoral standards and the rules on discipline in the University, inclu
ding those applicable to the U.P. Integrated School.There is no room for inhumanity and violence in the University.
What we do encourage among our young is the love for our_fellow
men and strict adherence to the norms of civilized conduct.It has been established that your son', Igor, and the rest of the
cadet officers involved in the hazing of some cadets in the CATOfficers' Training Program at the UPIS, have violated these normswe closely adhere to. Such being the case, the Rules on Discipline
for the UPIS have to be applied with an even hand.
Being a parent myself, I share your distress over this unfortunateincident. I have qone over the records of the case referred to in your
I appeal, but I could find no cogent reason to disturb the finding ofguilt. Nonenetheless, even as we mete out justice, we feel that thisincident should make us treat with serious concern the ongoingpractices in the CAT Officers' Training Program. Let us all learnfrom this.
You will agree with me that in the wake of this deplorable incident, the best interests of the University must be upheld. Justpunishment should also be imposed on any other guilty party notyet investigated.
The Statement of Concern of some parents of UPIS studentssums them up: " ... we are now mu ch concerned about the remed lal
measures that should be instituted that would improve and securethe conditions in which our children learn and_grow up within theconfines of the UPIS."
The children's public denunciation of violence and brutalitybeing perpetrated in the Program, and their expression of apology toboth the victims of the hazing and the UPIS constituency could bethe starting point for reforms in the Program.
I. therefore, advise you that even as the children involved will beallowed by my office to join the Commencement Exercises tomorrow afternoon, I expect them to be the exemplars of repentanceand reform by doing the following during the ceremonies:
1. They shall make a public denunciation of hazing and otherbrutal practices in the CAT Officers' Training Program, practices in the CAT Officers' Training Program, practices whichshould not be tolerated in any civilized society; and
2. They shell make a public apology to the victims of hazingand their parents, and accept the responsibility for their acts.
I expect your son Igor, or envone representing the group of students involved in hazing, to make a public statement along thesetines during the Commencement Exercises, along with all the members of that group.
Please COnvey my sentiments to the children and their parents.Their exemplary public denunciation and apology, followed by a
I handshake by their victims, would give a UPIS a new start towardsthe reforms needed.
With warm personal regards.

The determined effort of the University to use Filipino does not
mean that we should isolate ourselves from the arts and literaturesof other countries. Knowledge of another country's language and
literature enriches both mind and soul and widens one's conscious
ness. Spanish and American influences are also ingrained in ourculture and history as part of our Filipino heritage.
Because of that heritage we can participate fruitfully in the
unique and enriching experience represented in Eugene O'Neil'smasterpiece, A Long Day's Journey Into Night, produced by the UPPresident's Committee on Culture and the Arts, and sponsored by
the Department of English and Comparative Literature.My congratulations on your success! I hope that this play is but
a forerunner of further collaboration between UP PCCA and othercolleges and departments 'in the University.

On behalf of the University of the Philippines, we would like to
express our gratitude to the Government of Japan, through theJapan International Cooperation Agency, for its support in theestablishment of the National Learning Resource Center for Teacher
Training in Science and Mathematics Education here in the Univer
sity, specifically the Institute of Science and Mathematics Educa
tion Development.Through this Center, we hope to be able to realize our country's
objective of achieving a certain degree of scientific and technologicalself-reliance which, I believe, is a pre-condition for industrial economic development. Science and technology are closely linked witheconomics and one cannot deal with science and technology sepa-
, rat ely from economic development. And through education and: training, which the University can do best, we can be able to up
gradegrade our country's scientific and technological capabilitiesand promote its appreciation and use particularly in areas outside ofMetro Manila. In training teachers from all school levels, we expect
. the University to make an impact on overall efforts at social transformation through the development of a broad and relevant science,mathematics and technology consciousness among our country's
youth.We also wish to thank the Department of Education and Culture
and Sports and the Department of Science and Technology for theirconfidence in the University's capability to manage and operate this
Center. Thank you very much.

Thank you for agreeing to share some of your time and expertise with the University through this Committee.
We shall be caliing on you again for a follow-up meeting.With best regards,
This is in response to your March 26, 1989 appeal in behalf ofyour daughter Cynthia for an extension of her residence in theM.S. Food Science program at the College of Home Economics.
Background information pertinent to your appeal were submitted by the Chancellor of V.P. Oiliman for my consideration. Theseincluded the 15 March 1988 letter of the Dean of the College ofHome Economics to the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairsrommenting on Cynthia's request for a third extension of her realdence and the latter's reply to your daughter on 24 March 1988.Copies of both letters are attached.
Please be informed that on the basis of the facts presentedto me, I have sustained the position of t_he College of Home Eco
nomics and the Chancellor not to extend your daughter's residence.As much as possible, we give our students the support and
encouragement they need to be able to complete their studies.In the present case, however, there is a rule.we have to abide by. •We hope you witl understand. ..

1. Under the University's 1984 Land Use Plan, the area soughtto be segregated under the Bill tias already been earmarkedfor development as part of the University's CommercialComplex, which, it is hoped, will provide much needed addi
. tional income to augment the University's insufflenct appro-priation from the National Government.
As is already know, the University volunteered the BasiIan land Grant, one of its income generating properties, tothe Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program. The U.P.'therefore needs to find alternative sources of income to 1----------------------------1maintain basic operations. We hope to finalize plans for theproposed Commercial Complex, extending from the PHI LeOA to the Asian Institute of Tourism, toward the fourthquarter of the current year, and to start construction of theComplex by early 1990.
2. The site is currently being developed as a Wet and qryMarket which will accommodate some 121 vendors presently occupying along University Avenue. This latter area, onthe other-hand, will be the site of a drugstore, bookstore andfast food center.
Gentlemen:
In response to your request for the University's official positionon House Bill No. 1672, authored by Congressman Benajmin V.Bautista Sr., the University wishes to invite your attention to thefollowing ccsent considerations:
SUBJECT: House Bill No. 1672 entitled: "An act directing theBoard of Trustees of the University of the Philippinesto set aside two hectare idle land at the corner ofU.P. avenue and Marcos highway for the nationaloffices, dormitory and display center for farmers,fishermen, workers, drivers and other sectoral groups".
It will be recalled that the 49J.hectare campus in Oilimenwas conveyed by the National Government to the University in1949 exclusively to serve the latter's educational mission. Sincethen, each and every developmental plan for the area, and the cons- .truetion of structures thereon, have had a specific purpose aridlinkage to the mission of the University.
The foregoing considerations, vital not only to the Universityitself and its mission but also to its several publics. argue stronglyfor keeping the UP's property whole and intact, for the continued
and unhampered discharge of the University's bounden responsibilities.• With all good wishes.

The study wads fundedby the National Research Council of the Philippines (now Philippine

The feedback from respondents ~ming fromthe industry sector was very encouragIng, Hence, the PNSS hasapproved a follow-up study for the. preparation of plans for design-
".:Jol ing and developing the organizational and operating details of the.,. technology park and for putting up pilot projects .(please see

Dear Secretary Monsod:
I am strongly. endorsing to your' go'ad Office the recommendation 'of the UP-PGH Medical Center to avail itself of the Spanishloan to purchase medical equipment. The loan offer from the
...spanish Government is an excellent opportunity for UP-PGH tocomplete its equipment and facilities.
I should, however, like to stress that the University does nothave the resources to service the .loan and pay customs duties andtaxes on the equipment. The University would not be ableto availitself of the Spanish loan unless:
a. It is authorized to' include debt service in its future budgets;
aneb. It is granted exemption from customs duties and taxes in
the importation of medical equipment (or deferment ofpayment so that it can include the duties and taxes in its1991 budget request).
I would therefore also like to request NEDA's endorsementof (al and (b) above to the Department of Budget andManaqement and the Department of Financ-e.

Dear Solicitor General Chavez:
The U.P. Board .ot Regents, during its meeting on January23 1989, decidecl to phase out the U.P. College Baguio High School{UPCB-HSI. This decision was.made after consultations with thedifferent sectors involved in the eftalrsot the UPCB-HS.
On May 25, 1989, the U.P. College Bequio High School Foundation, Inc., among others. filed a Petition for Injunction with theRegional Trial Court of Bapuio City, enjoining the implementationof the decision to phase out. The Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order on the same day and set the hearing on the epplicafor Preliminary Injunction on June 1, 1989 at 8:30a.m.
. We intend to bring this matter immediately to the SupremeCourt; as the Order of the Regional Trial Court violates the academic freedom of the University aside, of course, from nullifyingthe best int~ntions of the University in decidlng to phase out thehigh school program in Baguio City.
We find a parallel case in the government's closure of theMuslim-Christian College of Medicine Foundation in Antipoto,Rizal, which was reported in todav's papers as being the subject ofa Petition filed by the Office of the Solicitor General with theSupreme Court seeking to dissolve an RTC 'injunction that stoppedthe lmplementatlcn of the closure of that medical school. ~
•
May I, therefore, request the services of your office, to actas counsel for the University in the appropriate Petition to be filedwith the Supreme Court. The Office of Legal Services, throughAttorneys Elpidio M. Catungal and Jhosep Y.lopezwill coordinatethis case for the University.

Dear MI'. Canonigo:
This reference to your endorsement of April 25,1989 regardinghe letter-request of the residents of Sitio Lambak that the Univerity of the Philippines donate to them about three (3) hectares of
land which they are presently occupying, :
The aforesaid request of the residents of Sitlo Lambak cannotbe likened to the intended do nat ionof 15.8 hectares to the residents
of Barangay Krus-na-Ligas. The Sitio Lambak occupants are squatters unlike the residents of Krus-na-Liqas many of whom have
long been residing in the barrio before the establishment of the. ,University in Diliman, Quezon City. .
Furthermore, the length of occupancy by the residents of
sure Lambak will not qualify them under the Urban Land Reform
Act. It must be stressed that said Act applies only to legitimate
tenants. The Sitio Lambak resfdentsare definitely not tenants ofthe University of the Philippines.
Please be advised therefore that the University cannot agreeto a possible donation of that part of the University property to
the squatter residents in Sitio Lambak.

We are glad that the Government of the Netherlands is considering the University of tthe Philippines as one of the lnstitutlcnsin the Phillpplnes that will coordinate with the Netherlands lnstitute of Maneqement (RVP) under the Dutch Direct Aid to Educational Establishment Program, in a project called Masters Programin Enterprise Development.
However, the U.P, Institute for Small Scale Industries (UP·ISSI). despite its strenghts, is not a degree-granting unit. Based on
President Abueva's discussion with officials of U.P. and If.P. Dillman, the UP·ISSI will not be converted into a degree-grantingunit in the foreseeable future.
We would therefore like to continue discussion with the Netherlands Embassy regarding the project but would also like to stressthe need for the partfclpatfonln the project of a degree-granting

Dear Senator Laurel:
Your Head of Research Mr. J. Prospera de Vera sent us a letterdated March "31, 1989 requesting our COmments on Senate Bill 495seeking to create a mechanism for an open system of higher education in the Philippines.
•
The concep~ of "Open College/University" is laudable. It will
afford opportunity to those denied access to the formal system of
higher education because of poverty. It will thus promote equityand equality of opportunity for all especially the poor.
However, there are SOme features of the bill which need closescrutiny:
1. Under Section 3(a), all instttutions of higher learning areincluded and under Section 4 "the governing body of an institutionof higher learning" xxx "shall create a mechanism for an open svstern of post secondary education." (Underscoring suppliedl.
It would seem that the concept of open college/university iscompulsory for all institutions of higher learning. While Congresshas plenary power to legislate on any subject matter net prohibitedunder the Constitution, the compulsory nature of this system wouldviolate the concept of academic freedom enshrined in the Constitution which recognizes the right of institutions of higher learningto determine for themselves on academic grounds what to teach,who to teach, who to be taught, and how to teach. There is also thematter of academic and financial capability.
To remedy the constitutional question, it is recommended thatthis concept of "Open College/University" be recommendatoryfor all colleges and universities, leaving it to them to decide whetherto venture on it or not.
Atthough academic freedom is not guaranteed to post-secondarybut pre-tertiary institutions like the Marikina Institute of Scienceand Technology, this concept of open tertiary education should alsobe made voluntary or optional for them; for the idea to succeed inoperation, these institutes should receive adequate aid and supportfor the government.
2. Section 6(b), provides that "the DECS and/or the institutions
concerned shall develop and implement a mechanism to monitor theacademic progress of students in these institutions." (Underscoringsupplied).
. Under the principle of acadmic freedom of all institutionsof higher learning, the DECS cannot monitor the academic progressof students of these institutions. That belongs to the Board ofTrustees or Regents. The DECS can monitor, however, the progressof students in post-secondary but pre-tertiary institutions since
these are not autonomous chartered institutions.
3. Under Section 6 tel. the DECS shall draft the necessaryguidelines for an efficient accreditation system covering the curricula of the open university system.
Again, this subsection violates the academic freedom of institutions of higher learning guaranteeed by. the Constitution todetermine on academic grounds what to teach. Likewise, it violatesthe principle that accreditation must be voluntary; it can not andmust not be imposed. Mutual credit or trust cannot be imposed;
it is earned.In concltrslon, Senate. Bill 495 is laudable in its Intent to provide
equity and equality of opportunity for all especially the poor. It isin line with the principle that "those who have less in life must havemore in the law. ' However, the validity of an idea must be testednot only by its good intentions but also by its effect when put intoactual operation. It will clash with the constitutional right to acedemic freedom of lnstltutions of higher learning.
It is recommended therefore:
1, That the concept of "Open College/University" be recommendatory/optional or discrettcnarv only, for institutions of higherlearning which are guaranteed .academic freedom. In other words,they shall be encouraged rather than mandated to adopt the systemof "Open College/University."
2. That is shall likewise be recommendatory for all post-seconddary but pre·tertiary educational institutions. 69
70
3. That the OECS should not monitor the progress of studentsenrolled under this sshceme in institutions of higher learning in linewith their oonstitutional right to academic freedom. -
4. That the DECS ought not promulgate guidelines for theaccreditation of the curricula of the open tertiary education systemin institutions of highedearning opting to offer this scheme.mindful again of academic freedom. It can promulgate guidelines for
post-secondary but pre-tertiary educational institutions since they
are directly under its [urfsdictjon.
I would {ike to thank you for consulting with us on this vitaleducational innovation and issue.

It was most kind of you to clarify the reasons for the issuance. of Memorandum Circular No. 15 dated Mate 2,1989. Here at the
University, we allow, on a limtted basis, our faculty 'members to goon consultancy locally and on oonsultancy or'visiting professorshipabroad. We view such activity as a way of enriching further ourfaculty's knowledge and experience, thereby making them more
effectlvewhsn they go back to the classroom. We also consider ita recognition of their competence and prestige. Moreoever, we havea serious problem of" attracting promising young scholars to the
faculty and of keeping our faculty, in light of our rapid turnoverof faculty who leave us for more remunerating jobs. By allowingour faculty to accept consultancies andviaitinq professorships undercertain conditions, we are able to retain facutty members andcounteract the brain drain in UP to some degree.
We are particularly glad to know that the Commission willleave the implementation on the Circular to the good judgmentof the head of agency. We wish to assure you thatthe Circular will .be implemented in the true spirit articulated by the Commission.

Leaders. scholars and students all .cver the world atflm suchuniversal values and concerns as peace, freedom, self-determination,democracy, justice, human rights, women's rights, health, economicwell-being. ecological balance, and non-violent social change. As weknow, most of these have been the subject of declarations and theworld conferences sponsored by the- United Nations to whichmember states are signatories or in which they. have been partici
pants.In various conferences, heads of universities and scholars have
sought practical ways by which they can promote these valuesin their own countries and around the world. In this regard, my colleagues and our students have been thinking about the studentsand universities, and the leaders and people, of your great nation.Through you, I would like them to know that werroum the deathof innocent people at TienanmenSquare and other places in your'country.

Dear Mr. Eugenio:
Thank you very much for your letter dated 2 June 1989, I thinkyou are correct when you said that 409 out of 535 students in U.P.
iliman would fall under brackets 1 to 5 if evaluation we~e basedsolely on the Income Tax Returns of their parents. Our experience;however, is that declared income in the ITR is often lower than thefamily's true income. (This is the principal reason why the STFAP
questionnaire is quite lonq.)
Financial need, however, is just one of the reasons for giving
scholarships. Science and technology, for example, are very high onthe University's teaching, research and extension- priorities. Itherefore accept your proposal that "DOST be allowed to payPl,700.00 for the tuition and other school fees per semester AY1989-90 for each scholar who is enrolled in any of the UP System".This will simplify matters significantly for COST scholars in U.P.and our STFAP processing office since UP-COST scholars will nothave to apply individually for tuition STFAP scholarships".
For the co·ming schcolveers, please study the desirability ofamending the UP-DOST Memorandum of Agreement on DOST
scholars of the University.Thank you verv much,

I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the BS
Public Health class of 1988.Your choice of profession speaks well of your idealism, since the
existing health care delivery systems are hardly sufficient for our
pressing needs.Each one of you could well be on the c"utting edge of answering
those needs. A conscientious response now on your part couldmean the eventual alleviation or elimination of the he~lth problems
in your community, town, province, or even the country.
I wish all of your the best in answering your call, and again,
my congratulations. ,• 1S9d.1 FELIPE MEDALLA

ADMINISTRATIVE CIRCULARS
MEMORANDA
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 22
10 July 1969
16 July 1969
At one of the meetings on Theme VII, Governance, PublicWelfare and Social Justice, it was suggested that a roundtable beused as mechanism for generating assessment reports on topicswhere the University's faculty have already undertaken studiesresulting in valid and reliable koowledqe on the problems andissues involved. Topic convenorlsl will assume responsibility fort1) identifying the issues to be tackled by the roundtable andthe resource speakers who will deal with these issues on the basisof their own extensive studies on rhatootc. (2) organizing the
roundtable, and (31 writing up the draft assessment report forthat particular topic.
The roundtable will also identify areas where little or inadequateknowledge exists and wh'ich can then be researched on a "slowtrack". As Secretariat for the Assessments Project. UCIDS willserve as "producer" 'ofthe roundtable and the reports.
This suggestion was well-received by the scholars working underTherns V and VIII at their recent joint meeting on 18 Ausut 1989.They agreed to 'adopt the mechanism for most of their topics.Some even thought that other topics might be examined this wayto determine whether UP is ready to make some authoritativestatements on these topics at this time. This would not precludethe necessary studies requiring more information and analysis.
We would like to encourage Theme Coordinators and TopicConvenors to consider the fast track roundtable as a means to faci'lltate their work. This mechanism will enable us to efficientlyuse our limited financial resource earmarked for the assessmentsproject.
I should like to emphasize that each UP Report, whether fasttrack or not, should be the result of thorough, multi-disciplinarystudy and reflection worthy of the University's sponsorship andpublication.

Dear Chairman Ordonez:
In Januerv 1989, we sent a letter to Dr. Fernando Carrasco sorequesting the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) toconsider granting the University of the Philippines Pl00 Millionas its contribution to an endowment fund to be set up by theUniversity specifically for the PGH. Proceeds from this endowmentfund will be used for the maintence of expensive, state-of-the artequipment in order to put them to proper and lasting use.
With all the new and modern equipment of the 7-storey centralblock and of the recently-inaugurated and now operational OutPatient Department, the PGH Advisory Board has deemed it necessary and urgent to contract the maintenance of equipment andfacilities to qualified parties, preferably their manufacturers. Thi$will require a big amount of money which realistically cannot comefrom the PGH budget or even the National Government. To providefunds for the maintenance of this equipment, the University hasdecided to set up this endowment fund.
We respectfully reiterate our request for the PCSO to contributeto this endowment funcl. If an outright grant to the University is

Words are not adequate to express the great void her passinghas left, not only to the Generoso family. but to the Universityof the Philippines, which she willingly and ably served duringthe best years of her productive life. She is a great loss not onlyto you and the University but to the country. She was e great

School tacultv in Ermita in 1937, after nearly a decade of previousteaching at the public schools in Manila, Albay, and Nueva Ecija,t'rom 1923 until 1930,
I recall that after World War II, your mother joined the,University as principal of the UP Etementarv School at its new campusin Dlljman. Her record as a University administrator was excellent.
When she retired in 1968. her services were missed by the University community, May I add that our family felt close to herbecause of her warmth and kindness to us.
On behalf of the University of the Philippines, I reiterate mysincerest condolences on the passing' of your mother. I am certain that her former pupils who are now the country's leadersand successful professionals are greatly touched by her passingand will miss her.
We wlll.alwavs honor her memory in this University and cherishher valuable contributions to this institution.

Justice Irene R. CortesSupreme Court of the Philippines
Taft Ave.• Manila
Dear Justice Cortes:
Starting this first semester 1989-1990, the University of thePhilippines is launching two historic initiatives and reforms: (1)the "Iskalar ng Bevan" or Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program (STFAP), and (2) the Patakarang Pangwika or UPlanguage Policy.
STFAP was approved by the UP Board of Regents on 30 January1989 as a major effort to democratize edmlsslon, after nearlyone year of preparations and consultations. It may be noted. in thisregard. that the President of the Philippines and Congress mandatedthe University through the General Appropriations Act for 1989, inthese words: "The University of the Philippines shall adopt and implement socialized tuition fees and democratic access in itsenrolment not later than the end of the Fiscal Year 1989." Theprogram is in line with the goals of the 1987 Constitution to "builda just and humane society" and "promote social justice in all phasesof development."
UP's language policy was approved by the Board of Regents on25 May 1989. On a gradual and voluntary basis it promotes the useof Filipino as medium of instruction at the undergraduate level.The policy aims at the same time to cultivate and enhance localand regional cultures and languages, as the "native fountainheadby which Filipino civilization is enriched and .grows ever stronger,"Hence, the cultivation of regional languages such as. Cebuano,tloceno, Hiligaynon, Birol, Waray, Kapampangan, Pangsinense,Maranaw. Magindanao, Tausug, Kinirav-e; etc. Under the policy,English continues meanwhile as a language of instruction and ismaintained (IS the primary international language in the University.
For more information about these two major reforms in UP,we are pleased to send you herewith:
1. UP Newsletter special issue on the Socialized Tuition andFinancial Assistance Program, 1 April 1989.
2. The Language Policy in UP.May I also take this occasion to send you a copy of 'The First
Sixteen Mont~s, which is my report as UP President for the period1 September 1987 to 31 December 1988.

Dear Chairman Arceva:
I have the honor to submit for the kind consideration of theConference Committee on the Salary Standardlzatjon Bills ourproposals for the faculty and other personnel of the Universityof the Philippines,
As you well know, UP is at the apex of our tertiary educational.svstem. Aside from. providing advanced instruction, at the undergraduate and graduate . levels, in more fields than any other public0; private university, UP serves the nation as' the foremost resourcefor research, training, consultancy, and extension services. UP also 'operates the largest hospital (the 'UP-PGH Medical Center) andthe leading research and development institutes in science and technology, including agriculture. As you Also know; UP professorsassist virtually every committee of congress as well as various agencies of the Executive Department, the judiciary, and constitutional
bodies.With respect to the UP faculty, we respectfully urge the Con
ference Committee to ensure that the academic rank of InstructorI continue to be three grades above the minimum salary of a publicschool teacher which we believe should be substantially increased.
Likewise, we respectfully urge the Conference Committee toprovide UP administrative personnel a minimum monthly salarythat will afford their families a living wage. This we feel should beabout P2,600.00. We know that in your view the Government isnot now in a position to pay this amount as minimum monthlysalary for government employees 'in general. But we hope that theSalary Standardization Law would allow an, automatic escalation to
this or higher levels as the finances of the Government improve. Iwould like to explain personally to you the foregoing proposalsas soon as possible at your convenience.
Thank you so much for your continuing strong support to UPand alt our programs and activities. In a separate letter, I'dlike to report to you on our initial implementation of the Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program. You official and personal support for this Program strengthened immeasurably Ourefforts to develop and implement it.
With our deepest appreciation and gratitude.

Thank you for referring the letter of Jo-Ann Carrol Dacasirregarding her concerns about the phase-out of the U.P. CollegeBaguto High School.
The Decision to phase out the High School, which had beencontemplated as early as 1981, was made by the U.P. Board ofRegents after a careful and thorough study of the school's performance since its establishment. Overall. it has fallen short of all theexpectations that went into its creation in 1972. Among others, ithas failed to produce a good number of entrants to U.P. CollegeBaguio, which was one of the reasons it was created.
The facts and issues surrounding the case are clearly 'detailedin the enclosed Primer which we have proposed as part of ourefforts to inform the public about our reasons for phasing out thehigh school.

J have the honor to recommend the appointment of Dr. RubenAspiras as Faculty Regent of the University of the Philippineseffective 1 September 1989 until 31 December 1990 or for a term.of sixteen (16) months. Dr. Aspiras shall serve the unexpiredportion of Or. Francisco Nemenzo's term as Faculty Regent (from1 September 1989 to 31 December 1989) plus one year (1 Januaryto 31 December 1990) corresponding to the normal term of officeof a Faculty Regent. If approved, Dr. Aspiraswill succeed Dr. Francisco Nemenzo who has to cut short his term as Faculty Regent inview of his appointment as Chancellor of U.P. in the Visayas by the
U,P. Board of Regents,The U,P. Board of Regents has decided that the representation
of the faculty on the Board shall be rotated among the four constituent universities (U.P. Oiliman, U.P. Los Banos, U.P. Manila and
U.P. vtsevasl to ensure participation and' representation of all
universities in .the decisicn-mekinq process of the governing boarct ofthe University.
Inasmuch as the Faculty Regent has come from the U.P. Oilimanfrom October 1987 until August 1989, the Board decided that thenext Faculty Regent should come from U.P. Los Baros. U.P. Dillman has more than one-half of all the U.P, faculty members andthis would make it difficult for nominees for Faculty Regentwho come from the three smaller constituent universities to beelected by the U,P. facuftv as a whole,
Dr. Aspiras is Professor of Soil Science and Microbiology atthe Institute of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences,U.P. Los Banos. He topped the VPLB straw vote which was conducted to identify nominees for the position. The two other nominees were Dr. Fernando F. Sanchez and Dr. Leodegario M. Ilag.The curriculum vitae of all three nominees are attached for your
consideration.I can vouch for Dr, Aspiras' competence and his dedication
and loyalty to V.P., his Alma Mater, and our country. I believethat as Faculty Regent, Dr. Aspiras will be a strong supporterof our common effort to bring about the necessary improvementsand reforms in the University in relation to our vision for theUniversity and the national goals mandated in the 1987 Consti

Dear Mr. Gapuz:
This is in regard to your letter of September 15 requesting
our comments on H .B. 23600 which plans to grant acedemlc credits
to college students who are required to participate in proceedingsinvolving the acquisition and disposal of government assets.
We agree with the intention of the bill to promote honestyin the public service and-to recognize the efforts of students toward
this end. But we have some reservations -regarding the granting
of academic credits' to "the students. The authority to confer aca
demic credits-to students belongs to institutions of higher educa
tion and is part of. the academic freedom euaranreec to them by theConstitution. We in academe would like to discourage the introduction of legislation concernlnqcurricula, credits and other academicmatters that properly come under the purview of academic freedom
and academic institutional autonomy. We hope you will take into
account our concern about the propcsedbitl. Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours,

I am honored to greet the Municipal Trial Court Judges League. of the Philippines on the occasion of its convention-seminar, which
revolves on the theme of "Speedy Adjudication of Cases Throughthe Continuous Trial System," •
This is a meet needed and timely undertaking and the League
should be congratulated and ssupported for sponsoring it. Theseminar addresses a crucial issue in the country's judicial system.The continuous trial system will most certtainly ease the heavybacklog of cases in the courts. The semInar will look into furtherrefinements of the system. so that ;~ could function with utmostefficiency and effectiveness.
The distinguished- members of the League should thereforebe commended for this activity. They, are willing to accept theadditional responsibilities that the system entails, on top of theiralready heavy workload. They are ideal public servants.
The University of the Philippines, through its Institute of
Judicial Administration, fully supports the Leeges efforts andptovide judges and other court personnel with education and trainiog related to the overall aclministration of justice. On behalf of theentire U.P. community, 1 wish the League complete success in thisconvention-seminar.

SincerelY yours,
Sincerely vcurs,
This refers to your letter dated 27 September 1989 regardingthe awarding of the lease of .the AIT House to the Manila BankersLife Insurance Corporation.
We believe that the Joint Committee on Bids and Awards andAIT Privatization Committee, in making its final recommendationto award the lease contract to Manila Banker's Life Insuran(MBLl) did so in the best interest of the University. As stlpulatin the Invitation to Bid, "the UP reserves the rlghtto reject any orall bids, to waive any informality therein, and to accept any cr.auoffers that may be considered advantageous to the University,"
Records show that no official notice of award was ever releasedwhen the, Joint Committee, after careful deliberation, decided toallow your company, Jubilant Foods Corp. and MBll to makeone final offer on the monthly rental, professorial chair subsidy andresearch endowment.' Thus, on 13 September 1989, your final bidproposals were opened and read before the Joint Committee.Unfortunately for Jubiland Foods, the offers of MBLl were foundto be more acceptable and beneficial to the University,
The Board of Regent, in accePting the Joint Committee's recommendation, studied the bid offers of both Jubilar1d and MBLl,including the business plan for the rehabilitation and takeoverof the AIT House. and decided that MBlI's prcpcsat is moreadvantageous to the University.
Thank you very much for the interest you have shown in yourearnest participation in the AIT House bidding.

Dear CongresSVoJoman Coseteng:
This is with reference to your letter of 21 September 1989inquiring about the U.P. Board of Regents' decision to phase outthe U.P. College Baguio High School.
. Attached herewith are excerpts from the minutes of two Board 'meetings, one held on 30 January ·1989 when the Board decided tophase out the high school, and another meetlrq held on 25 April1989 when the Board reiterated its earlier decision:
The University of the Philippines is a tertiary-level institutionand its purpose, as spelled out in its Charter, is'''~o provide advanced.lnstructlcn . i.n literature, philosophy, the science 'and arts, and togive professional. and technical training." While the new Constitution provides that "The State shall protect and promote the rightsof all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all," the mandatefor U.P. in light of its Charter is to provide advanced instruction atthe University level (rather than secondary or high echooll.
As explained in the attachment to this letter, the U.P. Boardof Regents approved the establlshrnent of the UPCB High School
in 1972 essentially to support the tertiary·level prOgrams were notbeing met, 'the University has decided "to gradually phase out the
operation of the High School, without prejudice to the graduation.of all those who are already enrolled at all year levers j~ high school
there. I
The resources that the University would otherwise use forrunning the High School will now be utilized instead to support andstrengthen' University-level programs in U.P. College Baguio to
make them more relevant to the needs of our people in the Cordillera Region.
Please note that the U.P. College 8aguio High School has beenunder review as early as 1986 (long before the passage of the law onfree secondary eoucancqj, a review that of course involved consultation not only with faculty and students but also with parents,alumni, and the ~mniunity> in general. As to other high schoolsin the University, there are four others: !J.P. Integrated School(UPIS) in OiHman, which is laboratory school of our College ofEducation; the Rural High School in U.P. Los Banos, which is. aspecial science hlqh-schcol: the U.P. Iloilo High School in ·U.P,Visayas .(UPV), which is a laboratory s~hool of the Departmentof Professional Education in the UPV College of Arts and Sciences;and the U.P. Cebu High School which, together with U.P. RuralHigh School, are now under review. The University proceeds with itsreview as circumspectly as possible because circumstances differ,
and because democratic consultation with all sectors is important.Please also note that, following the DECS guidelines in imple
mentation of the law (RA 6655), all state high schools, in areaswhere there are existing secondary schools, would now have tostart phasing out. U.P. could probably retain Over time only~o laboratory schools (the UPIS and uonc High); Our concept of"laboratory", incidentally, includes the idea of "democratizedaccess". to colteqe education for students from low-income families,which ties up with the now much-publicised U.P. "Iskolar ngBayan" Program of (Socialized Tuition and Financial AssistanceProgram: STFAPI.

Your letter of July 13; 1989 -to Presktent Corazon Aquino wasreferred to me and I am happy to respond to your concern aboutthe phase-out of the UP College Baquio High School. I understand
, perfectly the sentiments that you expressed in your letter. The decision to phase out your school was a -painful one', but it had to bedone. Before recommending its phase-out, we had several studiesand reviews of the performance of your school by responsible committees and faculty groups in UP. On the basis of these studies,WEt could not justify continuing the operations of your school.
The enclosed Primer will explain further the various issuesinvolved in the decision -to discontinue the high school. Pleaseunderstand that our decision was, not meant to discriminate againstCordillerans, as some people make it out to be. As you will notein the Primer. I myself was involved in efforts to bdng peace in theCordilleras in the recent past: .
The Department of Education, Culture, and Sports, thru undersecretary Luis Baltazar is now attending to possible arrangementsregarding the eccornmodatlon in DECS-GAR schools Of thosestudents affected by the Supreme' Court's decision.

With the transfer of the Department of Foreign Affairs to another location andthe probable transfer- of other agencies in the future it is only fairthat U.P. takes possession of its former properties. •

The two young students from your University, Ms. Petra Sternand Ms. Claudia Terner, are now wfth 'us at the College of SocialSciences and Philosophy, where the Graduate Program has prepared I'
a training module for them. As for Ms. Christel Fangmann, she hasalso been ecmtrted to train at the College of Social Sciences andPhilosophy. She has been recently notified of this by speed mail.
In the course of Or.

We can then see how we could get funding for themfrom institutions here, in your country, and elsewhere.
I agree with you that our contacts should first be developed at
the level of individual scholars and students. and even between parti.eular departments, institutes, or colleges in our two universities,which could prepare the way to a formal Agreement of AcademicCooperation between our two Universities. Thus, we support the Iidea that some of your professors come and help build up the European area in our Department of History, while professors from thisand other departments in the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy could in turn. go to Bremen to make their expertise availabletowards reinforcing your own ASEAN program.

As you may well kno~the-O~ of Sale provides that the consideration to be Paid by the OAR to the University through theLand Bank of the Philippines (LBP) shall be determined by mutu .'agreement of the parties within thirty (3D) days from the exeeutioof the Deed of Sale, in accordance with the provisions of R.A.6657.

Dear Atty. Bela:
I am sorry 1- have taken this long to send you the lengthierreply I promised you in my letter of 4 July 1989. But there havebeen some developments concerning the implementation of the U.P.Language Policy that I wanted to share with you.
Let me stress at the outset, there is no real disagreement betweenyour ideas on the national language and the language policY of theUniversity. ~_ ~
Just as you are for "develo~ing a national language"; just as youbelieve that this "should evol~e slowlY "and methodically"; andthat most importantly, "tthls should be acceptable to the wholenation," the Language Pollcvot the University:
1. is in fulfillment _of the constitutional mandate "to helpevolVe the national language cal ted Filipino" {Art. XIV,
Sec. 61;2. recognizes the need "to cultivate and enhance our local
and regional cultures and languages, fer they are truly thenative fountainhead by which Filipino civilization is enrichedand qrows even stronger" (the Filipino we wish to see evolvetherefore, is a national language enriched by local and re- ~
gionallanguages as ordained by the Constitution);

3. considers Filipino as the.national lingua franca, a language i
already spoken in most parts of the country that naturallydeveloped and oontinues to develop out of the interactionamong different ethno-linguistic groups in the country.The national language. is structurally different from Tagalog,which by no means is Filipino as the national languagealreedv defined. As a national lingua franca, Filipino is dyriamic and will continue to change as people use it.
There are other elements in the U.P. Language Policy thatI would like to further clarify:
The U.P. does not intend to .ebotlsh English as amedium of instruction now or in the ruture. Even asU.P. seeks to develop Filipino and use it as the medium ofInstructjon and official communication, the LanguagePolicy specifically states that "En~Hsh' bei.ng the foremost lingua franca of the world:' it "shall be maintainedas the ,primary fnternaticnal lanqueqe in the University."The policy further recognizes Eng1ish as the means bywhic~the University can:a. keep abreast with the advances mede fnvarlous fields
of knowledge throuqhout the world:b. participate in international scholarly discourse; andc. make accessible to the world its own research and
scholarly oontributions.Second, teaching in Filipino is at the undergraduate
'level. However, in the spirit of academic freedom, theLanguage Policy allows faculty to choose which mediumto use for -teachtnq and drives the option to students toenrol in courses offered in either Filipino or English.With this option, the Department of English is expectedto maintain English at a high level of excellence.
It is a historical fact. however, that since the early
1970s, a number of. U.P. faculty have already beenteaching some Science, Social Science and Liberal Arts'courses, as well as wr~ing papers, in Filipino. Theseefforts have contributed greatly to the development ofthe national language.
Third, the Language Policy provides 'tor a gr,adualdevelopment of Filipino as rnedlum of instruction.Autonomous and re9iOnal units within the U.P. System(such as U.P. in the Visayas, U.P. College Cebu, U.P.College Baguio, etc.I are allowed to decide on a reasonable transition period for purposes -of training teachers.and preparing learning materials for the undergraduatecourses. There are' no standard wordllsta and. grammarimposed. In fact, we consider this process as a' greatopportunity for regional units to make significant contributions to the development of Filipino by way ofproviding concepts and terms from regional languagesthat are already of wide usag~ and therefore acceptable,'Philippine languages after all, have a common word stockof more than 50%. Through consensus. alternative termsprovided by these regional units and by other departments and colleges will further enrich Filipino.
Fourth, the Language Policy therefore aims for avigorous promotion of the regional languages, literaturesand cultures .
Like you, I do not take the narrow vievv of insulting ourselvesfrom the rest of the world by propagating only one language.English is part of our history. Moreover, we are a multilingualpeople. Ourjocat languages are so similar to each other, it takesbut little effort to learn one more to add to one's language atbirth.
Let me, however, correct you on your misimpression that theNational Language as it exists today "is the concerted ,effort of theTagalogs to dominate the country." It may be argued that theFilipino spoken as lingua franca and understood by 91% of Filipj'nos(according. to a recent survey) hews closely to Tagal0:9. But this I
is more likely the natural result of the popularity of movies, comics.and today's TV Patrol aired netlonwjde and' emanating from Manila I
rather than of a conspiracy by the Tagalogs. And upon closer examination, how much more easily the .kind of Filipino propaQated bymedia is understood than the Tagalog of Batangss, Sulacan andLaguna, and how much change it is still undergoing as a result of theintermingling of different linguistic groups. It is also worth notingthat one of the staunchest advocates of Filipino, who participatedactively in the hearings_on the national language by the 1986Constitutional ~mmission: is the linguist Or. Ernesto Constantino, .an Ilocano.
I reiterate a point I made earlier. Fllipinoas the National language, while already a living reality, is not' the definitive Filipino asyet. Which is why we are encouraging our regional and autonomous
. units to 'actively participate in the dynamics of evolving a national'language that is truly Filipino because it is acceptable to all. Towardthis end, we have appointed a Sugbuanon [Cebuancl to' head thenewly-created Sentro ng Wikang Filipino. The Sentro, we hope,
will be able to ensure the broadest particlpatjonof our people in thedevelopment of Filipino, as our National Language.
·We look forward to your active participation in this effort.
Slncerelvyours.

We would like to have your counsel and suggestions on how
the University might receive assistance from the Japanese Government for purposes of setting up in the University a Language Learning Technology Center to promote the study and learning of foreignlanguages, with particular emphasis on the Japanese language..
As you very well know, the University of the Philippines hasalready various Agreements of Cooperation with Osaka Univerisityof Foreign Studies, Soka University, and the ~niversityof Tsukuba.On 18 January next year, we shall also be signing a formalAgreement of Cooperation with the University of Tokyo. ~
Many of our faculty and scholars have finished their academic.degrees; or undertaken short courses of study, or done researchin many universities in Japan; a fM have also taught for a year or
so in some universities there.We have long realized that the study of the Japanese language
and culture is most crucial for our echolers who wish to study or doresearch in Japan. The. proposed Language Learning TechnologyCenter. if established with the assistance of your government, wouldgo a very long way toward a more fruitful and self-sustaining cooperation between our University and many institutions of learning inyour country.
Thank you for your kind consideration of this request for whatever essrseance may be possible. I would be glad to explain to youthe proposed Language Learning Technology Center at ~ timeconvenient to you.
