Continuing their efforts to elevate medical education in the country, the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区鈥攖hrough the support of the SM Foundation, Inc., and the Henry Sy Foundation, Inc.鈥 inaugurated the seven-floor Henry Sy Sr. Hall on September 28, 2024, at its historic campus in Espa帽a, Manila, ahead of the SM Founder鈥檚 centennial birth anniversary on October 15, 2024.

Completed in collaboration with Anargyroi: FMS Foundation Inc., FMS Alumni Associations, and other benefactors, the Henry Sy Sr. Hall will serve as a hub for simulation in medical education, interactive student-centered learning, collaborative multidisciplinary research, and interprofessional education. It was named after the late businessman at the request of his daughter, Ms. Teresita Sy-Coson, who donated P300 million to the project.

Standing near 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Gate 10 along Dapitan Street, the new structure houses the Saints Cosmas and Damian Center for Simulation and Research, which will have simulated emergency rooms, surgical theaters with observation areas, delivery rooms, ultrasound skills laboratory, adult and pediatric intensive care units, medical wards, and consultation/mentoring rooms fully equipped with low, medium, and high-fidelity mannequins, control rooms to provide different situations that academic staff can modify according to the complexity of medical cases, and debriefing rooms capable of real-time observation and assessment of learners as well as playback of events for discussion, among other features.

Various study spaces, like the Eduardo Gotamco Tan, M.D. Study Hall, will also be available for students for extended hours to prioritize their safety. Offices of the Research Ethics Board and the Anargyroi Foundation, Inc., and the William F. Austin Center for Ear and Hearing Healthcare will also be in this building. 

In her message, 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Faculty of Medicine and Surgery Dean Ma. Lourdes Maglinao, MD expressed her deep gratitude to all those who collaborated to make the Henry Sy Sr. Hall a reality.

Dean Maglinao also reminded the medical students, 鈥淵ou are the lifeblood of this institution. You are the reason we build, the reason we innovate, and the reason we strive for excellence. You are the future physicians, future healthcare workers, and the healers of tomorrow. Within these walls, you will begin to shape the world you will one day inherit. The education you will receive here is unparalleled. You will have access to the best resources, the brightest minds, and advanced technologies. But remember, with privilege comes responsibility. You have chosen a noble path, a path that requires not just knowledge, but also humility, compassion, and an unshakable commitment to the well-being of others.鈥

FMS Regent Rev. Fr. Angel Aparicio, O.P., in his welcome remarks, expressed his hopes for the Thomasians who will make use of the new facilities. 鈥淲e pray and hope that our faculty, mentors, students, researchers, and experts will be imbued with unending grace manifested in gentleness and kindness, contented with what they have received from their predecessors in the art of healing, and eager to enhance the skills and knowledge for this profession that is continually expanding and demanding of new technologies.鈥

The Henry Sy Foundation Executive Director Dr. Lydia Echauz also spoke on the importance of the philanthropist鈥檚 legacy. 鈥淸Henry Sy, Sr.] believed in the transformative power of learning and the role it played in building a brighter future. Today, this hall embodies that belief, serving as a beacon of excellence for medical education research, not just for UST, but for the entire nation. We are proud to collaborate with the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Research and Endowment Foundation and Anargyroi FMS Foundation in bringing to life a state-of-the-art facility designed for the needs of modern medical education.鈥

The 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Rector Very Rev. Fr. Richard G. Ang, O.P., Ph.D., shared his reflections that, 鈥淚t was not too long ago when we had a topping-off ceremony [in October 2023]. Now standing on the site of this completed edifice, I can’t help but think about all the people who would soon walk through its doors. The students from FMS are eager to learn, the faculty, the doctors excited to teach, and the many who will benefit from the advanced facilities and technologies. Seeing the building come to life floor by floor was not just about watching a construction project. It was about experiencing the realization of our vision. It reminded me of the power of shared vision, collaboration, and commitment. And I look forward to seeing the many ways this building, the Henry Sy Sr. Hall, will enrich not just UST, but our Filipino community. As the building acquires its final form, we invoke the Lord’s guidance to inspire us to work towards building the legacy of healing and service.鈥

The Prior Provincial of the Dominican Province of the Philippines Very Rev. Filemon I. Dela Cruz, Jr., O.P., also expressed gratitude in his message, saying, 鈥淭his blessing, this inauguration, gives us the opportunity to renew our commitment to the mission of the University, to continue to educate better, especially in the field of health sciences. Development in technology brought new challenges, but opportunities too. This is a big upgrade for the University. [UST] hopes to accomplish more and carry on her mission better. Indeed, God’s grace is unending. Thank you to all of you. We can only ask God to return your generosity a hundredfold, but we can assure you that this building and its facilities will bless many people in the years to come.鈥

In close collaboration with the Facilities Management Office, the seven-storey structure was designed by CA Ventura & Architects, led by 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区College of Architecture Dean Ar. Rodolfo Ventura and his wife, Ar. Anna Rivera-Ventura, and built with AIMM Builders & Construction Supply led by Engr. James Liong, and JCV & Associates Project Management Firm, led by Engr. Jason Valderrama.

Arthaland Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Oliver Chan discussed 鈥淩ace to 2030: The 1.5掳C challenge鈥, or how their efforts contributed to various mitigation methods designed to limit global warming to 1.5掳 Celcius above pre-Industrial levels, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement.

Aboitiz Power Vice President for Corporate Communications Mr. Suiee Suarez shared experiences on the topic 鈥淣avigating the energy transition: A bespoke path for the Philippines,鈥 particularly since Abotiz Power has committed to achieving a 50:50 ratio of renewable and thermal sources by 2030, lowering emissions, and incorporating sustainability within the business process.

Shell Fleet Solutions Business Development Manager Mr. Nate De Jesus discussed how Shell helps support the Philippines’ clean energy needs through its EV charging stations, which are fully powered by renewable energy. In the coming years, the company seeks to achieve the following: reduce the net carbon intensity of its energy products by nine to 13 percent by 2025, 15 to 20 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2050. It also involves buyers in its pursuit of emission reduction, aiming to help cut customer emissions from using its oil products by 15 to 20 percent by 2030.

Megaworld Hotels & Resorts Managing Director Ms. Cleofe Albiso emphasized their sampaguita brand of Filipino hospitality, which involves partnering and collaborating with local communities and allowing people to develop a genuine appreciation for rich cultural heritage.

Guest speaker and Makati Mayor Abby Binay urged the collaboration of Metro Manila municipalities beyond their individual borders on issues such as flooding. She also addressed the critical role of the local governments in addressing environmental challenges, particularly in disaster preparation and waste management.

Lobien Realty Group, Inc. CEO Ms. Sheila Lobien, in her keynote speech during the afternoon session, emphasized the vital importance of sustainability in the real estate industry, from pressing challenges brought about by climate change and urbanization, to the sustainability efforts being made by the public and private sectors. She also noted that the country is far behind in terms of its sustainability ranking, and that more research and development efforts on housing issues and the deficiency of mass public transportation options should be done. For their part, the real estate industry is increasingly constructing 鈥榞reen buildings鈥 and encouraging advocacy for sustainable communities and 15-minute cities.

SM Development Corporation (SMDC) Lead Executive for Design, Innovation and Strategy Ms. Jessica Sy shared plans to integrate solar panels into its residential communities. By 2040, they aim to go net zero. RLC Vice President and Business Development and Design Head Ms. Stephanie Ann Go also talked about the use of renewable energy sources in its developments.

During the closing remarks, 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Secretary-General Rev. Fr. Louie Coronel, O.P., EHL, invited participants to reflect on how 鈥渋ndustries, the academe, individuals, and communities, can unite for a sustainable future. What we can carry forward from today is not just a collection of ideas but a profound challenge and invitation to embody the wisdom shared, and integrate these lessons into our professional and personal lives.鈥

Fr. Coronel also pointed out how the concept of collaboration resonates deeply with the University, since 鈥淥ur Rector always inspires us to seek synergy鈥搕he notion that we can create something far greater than the sum of our individual efforts. Let us expand on this by considering another concept called synodality, which literally translates to walking together, emphasizing not just collective action, but also the importance of listening to everyone,

reflecting and discerning,as we pursue shared goals and objectives in this journey towards sustainability. We must recognize that it is a path forged in unison, not isolation. Sustainability transcends mere objectives; it represents a way of being in the world, a shared responsibility that compels us to act with compassion and commitment to ensure that our planet remains habitable for the generations to come.鈥

The University, through the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Health Service and the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Faculty of Medicine and Surgery,

in collaboration with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, held a three-day Hearing Mission at the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Central Seminary Gym from September 24 to 26, 2024.

The Hearing Mission, themed 鈥樄怨虾诹弦磺鴌s here: 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Hears鈥, shared the gift of hearing to those in need, empowering them to their potential. Three thousand free hearing aids were provided to those who qualified after an initial hearing assessment, aligning with the University鈥檚 Institutional Wellness Program and Starkey鈥檚 mission of 鈥楽o the world may hear.鈥

The Chairman of Starkey Technologies and the Starkey Hearing Foundation Mr. William F. Austin, a 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Golden Cross awardee, was personally among the medical professionals and volunteers sharing the gift of hearing with those in need within the Thomasian community and nearby communities in Metro Manila. SHF Vice Chair and Chief Philanthropic Officer Ms. Tani Austin and the leadership of SHF were also participating.

Earlier that same month, over thirty medical students also completed the Certification Course for Ear and Hearing Health Care sponsored by Starkey Hearing Foundation under the Clinical Audiology Program of UST-FMS. They also served as volunteers.

In a thanksgiving dinner hosted by the University on September 26, Mr. Austin shared his words of inspiration, saying 鈥淲ell, 鈥榮o the world may hear鈥 is not about hearing aids. We could give away millions of hearing aids if we just put them in boxes and send them around the world, but they also need to be energized with care. 鈥楽o the world may hear鈥 gives us the opportunity to reflect God’s love through our caring, and that’s more important than hearing. We find our humanity through our caring. We’re all in this together and I am so blessed to have the opportunity to, once in a while, be in such a nice place, with the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区, working with such nice people that reflect God’s love so well. Thank you so much for this.鈥

The 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Rector Very Rev. Fr. Richard Ang, O.P., Ph.D., also expressed gratitude and said, 鈥淲e honor the tireless efforts of everyone involved in this medical mission and of course the boundless generosity of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. Together these efforts have made this three-day hearing mission a success, a mission that has touched, transformed, and empowered countless lives through the gift of hearing.鈥

The Father Rector also reflected on the common history of 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区and the Starkey Hearing Foundation, which launched the 鈥400 years, 4,000 ears鈥 project in time for UST鈥檚 quadricentennial anniversary 13 years ago. Since 2011, the partnership with SHF has led to numerous missions benefitting many Filipinos including members of the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区community, he shared, adding that 鈥淪mall actions matter. Together, many people can turn a difficult and impossible task into a remarkable success. This is the power of our collective action. Alone, we may feel overwhelmed by the world’s problems and restricted by what we can accomplish, but when we come together, each contributing our own small efforts, we have the power to change not just one life, but the lives of many.鈥

鈥湽怨虾诹弦磺鴌s one with Starkey Hearing Foundation in bringing the gift of hearing to those who are in need. Transforming lives and empowering individuals to engage more fully with their communities one step at a time and one life at a time. And I remember what Bill Austin told me yesterday when we had a three hour conversation in my office. There are four things that are important in this life: Time, talent, treasures, and teamwork. Above all these four factors, the most important thing is that we love and care for the people whom we serve. So I would like to thank Bill and Tani Austin, as well as Richard Brown, and all the volunteers, donors, benefactors, supporters for this mission, and all the people behind the success of our collaborative efforts,鈥 the Father Rector emphasized.

The Starkey Hearing Foundation President Richard Brown also addressed the medical students who completed certification for Ear and Hearing Health Care. 鈥淥ur founder Bill Austin has always taught us a simple yet powerful philosophy, 鈥楤etter today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today.鈥 This mindset of continuous improvement is something that I hope each one of you will carry with you throughout your careers, never stopping to be better for yourselves, for your patients, and for your communities. You now have the great responsibility and privilege to help your fellow Filipinos, or wherever your work may take you. You are not just graduates, you are ambassadors of hope and change. Armed with the skills and compassion you develop, you will bring sound into the lives of those who need it most. As you step out into your new chapter, remember the core mission we all share, 鈥榮o the world may hear鈥. Thank you and congratulations once again.鈥

The SHF Chief Philanthropic Officer Ms. Tani Austin also shared how happy she was to see familiar faces and see the improvement in the quality of life that their hearing aids bring. She said, 鈥淲e鈥檝e been coming here to 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区since 2011 and working with the wonderful audiology and ENT services here. We had several, I want to say children, but they were children in 2011 and young adults now. They were showing us the pictures of when they first got their hearing aids 13 years ago, and now they’re 18, or 20 years old, they have speech, they’re going to school or they have jobs. They were so thrilled to come over and see Bill and take a picture with him almost exactly like they did 13 years ago. So we remain parts of their life that they never forget, and they stay in our hearts鈥揺ach and every life that we touch.鈥

The Starkey team also graced the inauguration and blessing of the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Henry Sy Sr. Hall on September 28, 2024, where the William F. Austin Center for Ear and Hearing Healthcare is set to open on the top floor.

Each year, the United Architects of the Philippines (UAP), through the College of Fellows (COF), presents the Lifetime Achievement Award to members who have demonstrated a long-standing commitment to the UAP-COF. These individuals have advanced the profession in their unique ways and consistently supported the institution. The annual ceremony, called 鈥Balik Tanaw,鈥 celebrates the lives and professional practices of the awardees.

This year鈥檚 ceremony took place on the morning of October 5, 2024, at the Osme帽a Hall of the National Museum of Fine Arts, where five members were honored for their contributions. Ar. Norma I. Alarcon, Ph.D., FUAP, was the sole female architect among the recipients. Alarcon is an academic staff of the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Graduate School where she has been teaching for several years now.

In her speech, she reflected on her experience designing low-rise buildings, noting that she had yet to work on high-rise structures or large-scale horizontal projects. However, she emphasized the importance of her role in mentoring many architects who have gone on to shape skylines not only in the Philippines, but around the world.

Quoting the prominent Filipino educator Dr. Luis Reyes, she remarked, “No teacher becomes a millionaire, but our riches come when our students become successful in life.” Remarkably, nearly half of the audience, composed of COF members, were her former students from the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区College of Architecture. She acknowledged that her students were the highlights of her career, the “feathers in her cap.”

Alarcon concluded her speech with two poignant quotes, the first from American historian Henry Adams: 鈥淎 teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops鈥 and the second, from an anonymous author: 鈥淭o teach is to touch a life forever.鈥

For the Championship Title held on the second night, Cheng emerged as the 2024 Whiskey Live Manila Champion.

            Each student-mentor pair was given the task to prepare an original cocktail good for 50 servings within 16 hours still using Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky. The drinks must be inspired by a story, must taste savory, and must adhere to zero waste or sustainability principles.

Cheng, alongside his industry mentor, Mr. Leonard Albao of Big Fuzz, came up with the drink called 鈥Ikigai,鈥 named after the Japanese concept of finding one鈥檚 purpose. Cheng shared his own story of how he found his Ikigai through the industry, experiencing the magic of when customers truly appreciate what one serves.

            Herrera presented his dissertation titled 鈥Reinvigorating Urban Lifestyle Mobility: A Convenience-Value Evaluation of the Social Architecture and Planning of the Sampaloc Skywalk鈥. He shared the study of integrating an innovative elevated walkway from Espa帽a Boulevard up to the Light Rail Transit (LRT) 2 – C.M. Recto Station in the City of Manila.

His work focused on the socio-cultural and people-centric growth, the politico-economic and community development, and the environmental and urban development needed to achieve human growth and well-being through an elevated seamless walking experience. The walkway will be interconnected with mass transportation hubs such as the North-South Commuter Railway, the LRT2 – C.M. Recto Station, and LRT1 – D. Jose Station and will also be linked to the various buildings and establishments in the area promoting economic growth.

Herrera further reported that through the conducted surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews, the proposed structure gained existential and inclusive support from society.

Sabio was honored by the Local Government Unit of Echague, Isabela for her exemplary contribution to the preservation of the Yogad community鈥檚 cultural heritage. Her dissertation, which focused on the retrieval, translation, and analysis of traditional Yogad folk songs, represents a significant effort in safeguarding regional culture. The award was presented on October 4, 2024, during the Grand Opening of the Mengal Festival, held at the Banchetto Sports and Events Compound in San Fabian, Echague, Isabela.

Sabio鈥檚 dissertation titled, “Cansion nu Yogad, Cansion nu Luta (Retrieval, Translation, and Analysis of Yogad Folk Songs),” was supervised by the 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区Department of Communication Chair Prof. Joyce L. Arriola, Ph.D., and was crafted in response to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) mandate under Republic Act 7356. This law emphasizes the urgency of preserving and promoting regional cultural heritage across the country, a mission Sabio鈥檚 work directly supported.

Sabio鈥檚 research has gained both national and international recognition. Her work, 鈥淭ropes, Topics and Themes as Aid in Analyzing Yogad Folk Songs,鈥 was featured in the NCCA鈥檚 Reading the Regions 2, while her other studies have been widely published.
