Behind these triumphs, however, were the silent years of hardships and struggles; of blood, sweat, and tears that brought them to where they or at least where their children are today. While some of the poignant stories of the early immigrants have been documented, they are focused mostly on the success stories. What few people realize is that for every success story, there are more untold stories of failures and heartbreaks. They have remained _________________________ *First published in Ellen Huang Palanca, ed. China, Taiwan, and the Ethnic Chinese in the Philippine Economy, Chinese Studies, vol. 5.

Ramos, former DENR Secretary, during the Platinum Ball of the UP Beta Sigma Fraternity to celebrate its 70th anniversary at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ortigas Center, Metro Manila on July 16, 2016) Allow me to first greet our hosts tonight, President Jojo Alfonso Alejar, the members of his board and Brod Boyet Fernandez, chair of the Platinum celebration organizing committee We are honored by the presence of three of our founding brothers — Greg “Goyito" Abreu, Benedicto “Ben” Arcinas and Antonio “Tony” Lahoz Sr. I would like to recognize some of our elders from the late ‘40s and early ‘50s — from Batch ’48 - Brod Narcing Lapus, from Batch ’49 - Brod Orly Pena and Brod National Scientist Ted Topacio, from Batch ’51, Brod Jose Abueva and Brod Raoul Victorino, from Batch ’52 - Brod Rolando “Babes” Estrella and Brod Cecilio Felix.

Seventy, according to Genesis, the first book in the Bible, is the age of completeness. For seniors like some of us, it is when we have done our family duties: we have raised our children and let them fly out of the nest. We can now enjoy the fruits of our toil. For a social organization like our fraternity, we have matured and now bask in the glow of our collective achievements.

    (UPOU). an Explorat

    his paper is a self-reflection on the state of openness of the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU). An exploratory and descriptive study, it aims not only to define the elements of openness of UPOU, but also to unravel the causes and solutions to the issues and concerns that limit its options to becoming a truly open university. It is based on four parameters of openness, which are widely universal in the literature, e.g., open admissions, open curricula, distance education at scale, and the co-creation, sharing and use of open educational resources (OER). It draws from the perception survey among peers, which the author conducted in UPOU in July and August 2012. It also relies on relevant secondary materials on the subject. What if you could revisit and download the questions you took during the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test)? I received information that this will soon be a possibility. It’s not yet official though. For some people, including yours truly, this is the same set of questions that made and unmade dreams. Not all UPCAT takers make it. Only a small fraction pass the test. Some of the passers see it as a blessing. Some see it as fuel, firing their desire to keep working harder. Some see it as an entitlement — instant membership to an elite group. Whatever its worth, the UPCAT is the entryway to the University of the Philippines, a scholastic community with a unique and celebrated tradition spanning more than a century. But take heed — none of its legacy would have been possible if not for the hard work of Filipino taxpayers.

Loren Legarda ran as the opposition vice presidential bet with Estrada’s best friend the late- Fernando Poe Jr as presidential bet in the 2004 national elections. Aquilino Pimentel Jr., Franklin Drilon and Sergio Osmeña III have become Arroyo’s critics. John Osmeña defected to run under the Arroyo senatorial ticket in 2004 but lost. He has rejoined Estrada’s camp. On the other hand, Ramon Revilla (Bong, Jr.) and his son-in-law Robert Jaworski, Juan Ponce Enrile and Miriam Santiago have been supportive of Arroyo’s policies. Revilla’s son (Bong, Jr.) ran under the administration ticket in 2004 and won a Senate seat. The so-called Third Force bets have not aligned themselves with Arroyo.
