The novelty of it will in a recent survey. wear off, but hopefully because by then you will have Even without the competition, UP must respond to the seriously applied yourself to life at UP.

Because this is a of barriers to goods and services. tastes and technologies, big university, some of you might have some difficully finding ideas and ideologies. Once an event, a phenomenon, your way around but we are confident that you will soon globalization is now a condition, a way of life. As such, it 62 places new demands on us, as individuals and as a nation. privileged sectors of Philippine society who compromise Whether we like it or not, whether we are ready or not, we the majority of our people are admitted into and graduated must compete with the best in the world, or we shall be a by UP. country of losers. Claims to the contrary notwithstanding, democratizing It is UP's responsibility to see to it that our people are access to a UP education does not mean a lowering of able to hold their own in the global race. UP must identify academic standards. As the premier institution of higher which among the sectors of the Philippine economy are learning in the coimtrv, UP is expected to maintain national potential winners and which may be losers. Moreover, UP standards of excellence but beyond this, UP must upgrade must help provide safety nets for the marginal sectors, even its academic standards to meet international standards of as it leads the winning sectors. In short, it is UP's task to excellence. Being the locus for the creation, transmission, ensure that the Filipino nation as a whole is ableto compete and preservation of knowledge, UP must sustain academic well in the global arena. For we must compete not as excellence in instruction, research and extension to keep ethnic groups or even as economic sectors, but as a people. abreast of the rapid pace of global developments in Globalization has not altered this basic principle. knowledge and technology. Otherwise, the technological UP's role is of course defined by its commitment to gap which results from the failure to sustain excellence education which in turn is premised on the truth that people will develop into an economic gap that means lower are a nation's most important resource. A highly educated standards of living for our people. pool of human resources is a key factor in economic growth Toward this end, we are developing the various UP units and national development. UP's mission is to educate and into national centers of excellence.

The of standards and the democratization of access to a UP National Engineering Center and the National Graduate education. These are the twin goals of excellence and School of Engineering are already in place. Our emphasis equity. Let me briefly discuss each goal. on the upgrading of engineering education and research in First equity. Studies reveal that over the years, the the country is envisioned to close the technological gap number of UP students from the lower socio-economic separating us from our more dynamic neighbors. Being brackets as well as from the poorer provinces has been conceptualized is the creation of a center of excellence in declining. We have instituted several measures to remedy fisheries, marine sciences, and oceanography as a this situation, among these: the improvement of the collaborative endeavor of the UP Visayas College of Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program {STFAPI Fisheries, the UP Diliman Marine Science Institute, and first implemented in 1989; the establishment of UPCAT the National Institute of Geological Sciences. In addition, test centers in far-flung provinces, and an affirmative action UP elementary and high schools are now acknowledged program by the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod to ehcourage high centers of excellence in basic education. Our lead in the school seniors to take the UPCAT and improve their chances arts has also long since been recognized and we are of passing the test by means of remedial courses in English, safeguardingthis areaof comparative advantage by making Math and Science. all UP campuses centers of arts and culture. We are also opening our doors to more freshmen enrolees Cutting across allthese is the improvement of instruction with the establishment of UP Mindanao to encourage more in all disciplines by means of teacher training, the high school graduates from our third largest island to attend , development of instructional materials, the reduction of P. The expansion of UP College Baguio into the UP class sizes, the' adoption of multimedia teaching Northern Luzon is likewise being planned. Meanwhile, the technologies, and the establishment of Learning Resource UP Open University, which makes use of distance education Centers to help students cope with the academic methodologies to extend the reach of instruction beyond requirements of UP . the classroom, continues to grow. Using standardized In fine, UPwill continue to uphold standards of academic instructional materials prepared by subject matter experts excellence while pursuing programs designed to increase and aided by computers and telecommunications- facilities, student enrollment. Unlike private colleges and universities our best teachers are teaching more students than would which can afford the luxury of maintaining a constant be possible in conventional face-to-face instruction. When population in order to maintain or improve the quality of our distance mode capabilities are fully in place some time the education they offer, UP must expand even as it in the future, the university will be able to grow at an maintains its high academic standards. exponential rate, and every educator's dream of providing The contrasting socia-economic consequences between quality continuing education with the least cost to the a model of higher education, which privileges excellence greatest number, will become a reality. alone, and one which emphasizes both excellence and Our efforts to effect a more even distribution of the equity can be gleaned from the contrary experiences of student population in terms of their geographic origin and Latin American countries and the East Asian newly socia-economic status given academic merit, is based both industrialized countries.

However, because our needs higher economic growth but also in a more equitable and responsibilities as a national university have grown distribution of income and wealth in these East Asian NICS. even faster, we must significantly augment our resources. For this reason, the latter is the higher education growth Furthermore, our benefactors can only be as generous as path which UP is trying to emulate. we are worthy of their generosity. If they see that we are The fact that UP remains the top-ranking university in exercising fiscal responsibility, and that their donations are our country today even as it has expanded in size is proof beinginvested wisely in University programs that will benefit of the soundness of the twin pursuits of academic excellence the nation, then they will not tire of providing us the support and growth with equity. This has been made possible that we deserve. because UP continues to generate sustained material and This is not wishful thinking on our part. During the moral support from government, its alumni, and other sources 1997 Grand Alumni Homecoming, some 850 UP alumni - for the twin pursuits of excellence and equity cost money. resolved to support UP's modernization initiatives. In the Atso, unlike private schools, UP cannot pass on to its Senate, a bill for the modernization of UP has been filed by students the full cost of instruction.

Let me assure you that such use of our the Filipino people's contribution to the further mod assets is well within our legal and institutional purview. In ernization and quest for excellence of a major part 1930, the Philippine Legislalure passed Act No. 3608 which ner in nation-building and development." gives to UP land grants "to be held and administered as a permanent endowment for additional support and This, my dear freshmen, is the big picture in UP today. maintenance." Act No. 3608 further provides that "the Board It might seem too complex and grand to some but to the of Regents cannot sell or alienate all or any portion of these country's best and brightest youth, it is nothing less than lands without the previous consent of the Philippine what should be expected of the nation's premier institution legislature, but otherwise it may perform any act or enter of higher learning. This big picture might evoke awe in into any contract regarding the same, subject to and in those of us who are viewing it for the first time but it accordance with the provisions of the Public Land Act and should also excite and challenge us to greater heights of the Corporation Law." Moreover, Act No. 3608 states that achievement. Forty years ago, I too was a 16-year old "all incomes, receipts and profits from the administration of probinsiyano, awe-struck by the large university whose these land grants shall form part of the general fund of the portals I was entering for the first time.

Sixty-seven years in its endeavors. I am sure you, too, will experience this later, we ask: what has UP done with its land grants? Barring transformation for in the end, our degree of involvement is the use of very small portions of property for one reason or what will make our stay at UP memorable. another, the answer to this question is: nothing. We have A UP education is not only about developing the mind. allowed our land grants to lie idle and unproductive. Worse, It is about building character as well. So, even as you we have left them vulnerable to illegal use by informal strive for academic excellence in your chosen fields, you settlers.
