Vice-Rector for Religious Affairs Rev. fr. Pablo T. Tiong, O.P. celebrated the Ash Wednesday Mass on March 5, 2025, at the Plaza Mayor.

Reflecting on the gospel in his homily, fr. Tiong mentioned that the Act of Contrition was not prayed since the Eucharistic celebration was penitential in itself.

Moreover, he underscored that our Lord sees through our facade and knows every bit of us, mainly our intentions from both the mind and heart, especially when we are losing and questioning our faith, even before stepping into the Church to attend the Mass and even if we act in secrecy.

“Even before we ask for forgiveness, even before to call to mind our sins, [God the Father] knows what is in our heart. God the Father knows our secrets. Once more, God knows what is in our hearts,” he said.

Likewise, fr. Tiong reminded the Thomasian community not only to look forward to penitence and realize our sins but also to heed our Lord’s call to live a vital virtue as we observe Lent. “There is Christ’s call to Veritas. Christ calls us to live a truthful life.” He said.

In observance of the Lenten Season, the University, through the Office of the Vice-Rector for Religious Affairs, the Center for Campus Ministry, and the Sant铆simo Rosario Parish, prepared and organized the following events: /wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CI52-Lenten-Observances-and-Activities-2025.pdf

With the aim of finding solutions for insomnia, which plagues more people and causes strain on public health, Thomasian researchers conducted a review of journal articles published in reputable journals and databases to find plants that exhibit sleep-enhancing activities. Studying plant-based alternatives may pose fewer side effects, the researchers contended.

Academic researchers Prof. Agnes Llamasares-Castillo, PhD, Prof. Ross D. Vasquez, PhD, Assoc. Prof. Oliver B. Villaflores, PhD, all from the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Research Center for the Natural and Applied Sciences, joined co-researchers from Singapore鈥檚 DELIGHTEX PTE LTD., namely Yutaka Kuroki, Aya Wada, Xinyi Zhu, and 国产吃瓜黑料一区二区research assistants Kyle Andrei Cabatit, Jonah Joshua Garcia, and Janelan Martin.

The researchers were able to find thirty-nine plants with sleep-enhancing activities, such as Lactuca sativa, Nelumbo nucifera, and Ziziphus jujuba. The authors found that these plants 鈥渄emonstrated consistent efficacy in improving sleep quality through interactions with the GABAergic system.鈥 Though thirty-nine plants were identified in the reviewed studies, the researchers caution that 鈥渕ost studies are still preliminary, with the molecular mechanisms behind their sleep-enhancing effects remaining inconclusive.鈥

The researchers published on February 27, 2025 the review entitled 鈥溾 in Phytomedicine Plus, indexed in Elsevier. The study is in line with phase 1 of the project funded by Singapore’s DELIGHTEX PTE LTD.

Prof. Sally Jane H. Uy and Mr. Joel R. Guerrero joined authors Roi Charles Pineda, Constantine L. Yu Chua, Camille Anne L. Guevara, Christianne Marie Coronel-Andigan, and Daryl Patrick Yao in sharing about the Philippine experience.

The authors indicated that occupational therapy in the Philippine has usually revolved around the four previously mentioned areas. Using cases personally witnessed by the authors, the authors pointed out the 鈥渄rivers that have influenced (and that continue to influence) the current state and future direction of occupational therapy practice in these practice areas.鈥 The authors concluded with mitigation measures to address the threats.

Uy and Guerrero are among the early faculty members of the Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy program in UST, which first offered it in the late 1990s. Her research interests include occupational therapy education and older adult patients. Meanwhile, Espino is among the early graduates of UST鈥檚 BS OT program in 2003.
