EDITORYAL

Six years after the imple-

mentation of electronic regis-

tration, BUeos still experi-

ence enrolment irregularities.

Glitchesna siguro yung lagingnago-ofine yung system at laging

nagba-brown out sa Daraga Campus

during enrollment, Roger Oxales,

College of Business, Economics and

Management CSC President said.

On the other hand, the newly

established college in the Univer-

sity, the College of Medicine (CM)

awaits a specialized database sys-

tem, due to a different curriculum.

In medicine, subjects are

credited in hours unlike in baccalau-

reate which is credited in units just

like in the graduate school and the

other colleges. So it doesnt match

to the existing e-registration of the

institution,Acting Registrar Ma.

Eileen A. Besenio of CM stated.

Sophia A. Romero, the Uni-

versity Registrar of Bicol Uni-

versity cleared that having nan-

cial problems is one of the main

causes of a students failure to en-

rol. Some students pre-registered

but leave their tuition fees unpaid,

making them unofcially enrolled.

Meanwhile, the College of

Education (CE) which aimed for

a systematized enrolment, imple-

mented a One-Step Policy this aca-

demic year to control the crowd

during the enrolment periods. The

courses were divided and accom-

modated in different buildings.

However, the facilities of

CE and the rearrangement of

the staff of the college registrars

somehow affected the attainment

of CEs systemized registration.

The College of Agriculture

and Forestry (CAF) and CM both

followed the manual type of regis-

tration allowing them a quick en-

rolment. CAF CSC President Em-

manuel Apin stated that even a

regular student can enrol for half a day.

Despite the complaints on the

delayed enrolment, the USC and

CSCs said that this years enrolment

was better than the previous year.

Sa ilalim ng CHED Memorandum Order (CMO)

No. 20, Series of 2013, na nagsasaad ng bagong

General Education Curriculum (GEC), nagdesi-

syon ang naturang komisyon na alisin na ang asig-

naturang Filipino sa kurikulum ng mga kolehiyo at

unibersidad sa Pilipinas pagdating ng taong 2016.

Kung sakaling alisin ang asignaturang Filipino

sa kolehiyo, ituturo ito sa Senior Hayskul, baytang

11 hanggang 12 sa ilalim ng K-12 Kurikulum at ma-

higit 10 000 full-time at 20 000 part-time na guro ng

Filipino ang nanganganib na mawalan ng trabaho o

mabawasan ng kita dulot ng nasabing CMO ayon sa

petisyon ng mga guro at indibidwal na umaalma dito.

Hindi solusyon ang pagtanggal ng sabdyek na

Filipino upang mas mapagtuunan ng pansin ng mga

estudyante ang kani-kanilang kursong pinag-aaralan.

Ayon kay Aurora Batnog, presidente ng

Pambansang Samahan ng Linggwistika at Liter-

aturang Filipino, Ink., "Sa mas mataas na lebel

ng edukasyon nagaganap ang intelektwalisasyon

ng wika na kailangan para lubusang magamit

ang wikang ito sa lahat ng antas at disiplina." Idagdag pa rito, malinaw na nilalabag ng tala

ang nakasaad sa Artikulo XIV, Seksyon 6, ng Kon-

stitusyon ng Pilipinas na nagsasabing, "The gov-

ernment shall take steps and sustain the use of Fili-

pino as a medium of ofcial communication and as

language of instruction in the educational system."

Maituturing na kayamanan ang ating sar-

iling wika. Kung tutuusin nga ay mas mahirap

pag-aralan ang wikang Filipino kaysa Ingles lalo

na pagdating sa aspetong gramatika. Hindi mai-

kakaila na maraming Pilipino ang tagilid pa rin

sa tamang paggamit nito pasulat man o pasalita.

Sa kabilang dako, ayon sa CHED kinakailan-

gan umanong magkaroon ng matibay na wikang

pambansa, kultura at pagkakakilanlan ang ating

bansa para sa napipintong ASEAN integration. Bagamat maganda ang hangarin ng komisyon,

kailangan nga bang tanggalin ang asignaturang Filipino

para magbigay daan sa pagdating ng mga dayuhang mag-

aaral sa ating bansa? Kung nagawa nga ng Tsina, Japan at

South Korea na umunlad sa pamamagitan ng paglinang

ng kani-kanilang sariling wika, hindi rin ba natin kaya?

Sa huli, mas makabubuting pagtuunan ng pan-

sin ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon at ng CHED ang

maigting na pagtuturo ng wikang Filipino sa kahit

anong antas sa paaralan at institusyon. Ang mahala-

ga ay maging bihasa tayo sa ating wika. Higit sa la-

hat mahalin, itaguyod at tangkilikin ang sariling atin.

BU Registrar drives Online E-Reg

HEAT UP. Performers play with re as they greet the students in the

Freshmen Welcome Party at Bicol University Commencement Grounds.

As part of Bicol Universitys goal in achiev-

ing clientele satisfaction, the Ofce of the Uni-versity Registrar advocates the implementa-

tion of Online Electronic Registration.

The proposed E-Registration is envi-

sioned to become a more efcient recording and

reporting system that would allow a smooth ow

of enrolment for the students, professors and reg-

istrars, Sophia A. Romero said.

The University Registrar added that it will

be a one-time process which will minimize er-

rors in the registration and will simplify the pro-

cedure of enrolment, especially for new students.

With this innovation, professors and in-

structors will be able to upload their students

Certicates of Grades (COG) in the website. The

students will also have an access on their gradesonline; thus acquiring a better and faster service.

Though we still have no denite date

for its full implementation but we are trying to

nish the whole process before the start of this

academic years 2nd semester, Romero stated.

She further said that the implementa-

tion of the proposal is still under due process

because of the high nancial requirement in

paying the wages of the manpower and other

related expenses. The standards for the custom-

ized format that the university wants from the

service providers are also being considered.

Despite the long process and nan-

cial constraints, the university is still aim-

ing to achieve online payment and on-

line registration in the following years.

Better Flow

There was a re-assignment amongthe college registrars which affect-

ed the ow of enrolment in some ways.

Actually, we didnt encounter major prob-

lems except for those colleges that were affect-

ed by the transition period, Romero admitted.

She explained that though there was an in-

ux in the number of students, the enrolment was

systematic. This semesters enrolment is unlike

the enrolment before. The ow was organized

because of the one-stop-shop process. The close

coordination among the registrars, deans and

other people concerned made a big contribution

to the better ow of enrolment, she reiterated.

We want the best for students

Romero, being a college regis-trar before, defended her fellow registrars.

What we want is to serve the stu-

dents with our very best. Naiinis kami kapag

di gumagana at mabagal ang system kasi

di namin naseserve yung gusto naming

maiserve sa estudyante kasi gusto rin namin

ng clientele satisfaction, Romero asserted.

She also cited that the large number of stu-

dents being served contribute to the slow ow

of service. Hindi naman yan sa mabagal ang

serbisyo ng empleyado, dahil na rin sa karami-

han ng mga estudyante na nakalinya,she added.

The University and College Reg-

istrars are trying to work out the

gap between them and the students.
