1. Imagine that there is no Philippine state today. Among those who tried to conquer us in the past, to whom will you be submitting your individual sovereignty – the Spanish, so that we would be part of Spain now, the Americans so that our country would be part of the United States of America, or the Japanese who taught us to value our traditional culture? Justify your answer.

If Rizal is alive today, what can you say to him? Write the things that you want to say to Rizal by writing a POEM.
You poem should have at least 3 stanzas with at least 4 lines in each stanza. It can be written in Filipino or English.
Our original schedule for oral presentation of research papers was October 14 (Friday). However, due to non-availability of the Audio-Visual room on that day, we need to move our presentation to October 21, 2011 (Friday) from 8:00 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock noon.
Please make sure that your Powerpoint Presentations are saved in your laptops/USB. It would also be a wise idea if you save your research papers in different USBs/saved in a data disc/etc so that your group will have back-up files.
Please be reminded that each group will be given 20 minutes only to present the results of their researches, and another 10 minutes to answer questions from the audience.
Our very own Ms. Mae-rizza Sotelo, HRM student from the C5 Annex Campus, participated in the 1st National Essay Writing Competition by the Philippine Retirement Authority. I hope that her essay would be chosen in this competition!
This screenshot was an acknowledgement receipt I received from PRA after I sent Ms. Sotelo's essay and other required documents.
I am proud of you, Ms. Sotelo, and all of us must be proud of her as well!

Dear Madame:
Warm Christian greetings!
In connection with the 150th celebration of Dr. Jose P. Rizal this year, my classes in Rizal’s Life and Works came up with a proposal to have an exhibit during our three-day organizational activities on September 21-23, 2011. Memorabilia on Rizal’s life and works will be displayed for three days in the main campus.
In line with this, we would like to request for the provision of one (1) classroom for our Rizal Exhibit. All students, staff, and guests are invited to view these memorabilia. Our goal is to inform the TFVC community about the greatness of our first and foremost National Hero by letting them view the pictures, dioramas, and other presentations of important persons, places, and things associated with Rizal. This exhibit is free of charge.
Thank you so much.
Sincerely yours,
MARLON B. RAQUEL
Course Instructor

Deadline for the submission of Assignments No. 3 for all subjects was extended until September 24, 2011 (Saturday), 11:59 PM due to cancellation/suspension of classes on the previous weeks, upcoming prefinal examinations, and the organizational week.
To all my students,
You are invited to attend a lecture on September 17, 2011 (Saturday) at UP Diliman from 9:00-12:00. Mong Palatino is the speaker for the said lecture. He is serving his second term in Congress. He was once served the UP Diliman Student Council as the Chairperson.

Shamcey Supsup, 3rd Runner-Up, Miss Universe 2011
All UP alumni must be proud of her. Filipinos all over the world must be proud as well for a Filipina beauty who brought prestige and pride to our country.
Shamcey Supsup, a graduate of the University of the Philippines, bagged the 4th place in Miss Universe 2011 beauty pageant held today at Sao Paolo City in Brazil. She was the Philippines' representative to the this popular beauty pageant after winning the title in Binibining Pilipinas 2011.
Judge Vivica A. Fox asked Supsup the question: "Would you change your religious beliefs to marry the person that you love? Why or why not?" The Filipina beauty answered: "If I had to change my religious beliefs, I would not marry the person that I love because the first person I love is God, who created me. I have my faith and my principles, and this is what makes me who I am. And if that person loves me, he should love my God, too."
I think that was an excellent answer. It was just "unfortunate" that she did not make it to win the title of Miss Universe. One of the renowned women in the world today, Opray Winfrey, commented on this issue:
Shamcey graduated valedictorian in elementary at Notre Dame of Lagao in General Santos City, salutatorian in Makati City High School, and magna cum laude from the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. She also topped the Architecture Licensure Examination last July 2010.
Congratulations to Ms. Shamcey Supsup! Manong Oble is so proud of you!
