New UP President
December 3, 2010 in Information Drive, News by Engineering Student Council
MANILA, Philippines – A finance expert and election watchdog convenor is the new president of the University of the Philippines.
Alfredo E. Pascual of the Automated Election System (AES) Watch was elected on Friday morning by the UP Board of Regents, the highest decision-making body of the state university. 
Reports from UP’s school paper Philippine Collegian say Pascual was voted by a majority of the Board of Regents.
Pascual will assume office in February 2011, replacing Emerlinda Roman, UP’s first woman president.
Pascual graduated with a degree in chemistry (cum laude) in 1969 and with an MBA in 1972.
According to up.edu.ph, he is a finance professional and worked with the Asian Development Bank for 19 years until 2008.
Pascual also taught finance at the Asian Institute of Management for 9 years. Prior to that, he also taught at the UP Department of Chemistry and Ateneo de Manila University’s Department of Management Engineering and Department of Business.
He was conferred the Distinguished Alumnus Award by the UP College of Business Administration in 2009.
Pascual was president of the UP Alumni Association since 2009, but he resigned in August this year because of his nomination for the UP presidency.
He also served as alumni regent of UP from 2009, with his term supposedly ending in 2012. — With report from ANC

of His Excellency
Benigno S. Aquino III

Mga minamahal kong kababayan:
Sa bawat sandali po ng pamamahala ay nahaharap tayo sa isang sangandaan.
Sa isang banda po ay ang pagpili para sa ikabubuti ng taumbayan. Ang pagtanaw sa interes ng nakakarami; ang pagkapit sa prinsipyo; at ang pagiging tapat sa sinumpaan nating tungkulin bilang lingkod-bayan. Ito po ang tuwid na daan.

Special Post 1: The Speech of our new President on his Inaugural

Speech of the President (Photo Credits: thehindu.com)
His Excellency Jose Ramos Horta, members of the diplomatic corps, Vice President Jejomar C. Binay, former President Fidel Valdez Ramos, former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and other members of the Senate, Speaker Prospero Nograles and other members of the House of Representatives, members of the Supreme Court, Special Envoys and members of the Diplomatic Corps, local government officials, distinguished guests, mga minamahal kong kababayan.
Ang pagtayo ko dito ngayon ay patunay na kayo ang aking tunay na lakas. Hindi ko inakala na darating tayo sa puntong ito, na ako’y manunumpa sa harap ninyo bilang inyong Pangulo. Hindi ko pinangarap maging tagapagtaguyod ng pag-asa at tagapagmana ng mga suliranin ng ating bayan.
Ang layunin ko sa buhay ay simple lang: maging tapat sa aking mga magulang at sa bayan bilang isang marangal na anak, mabait na kuya, at mabuting mamamayan.
Nilabanan ng aking ama ang diktaturya at ibinuwis niya ang kanyang buhay para tubusin ang ating demokrasya. Inalay ng aking ina ang kanyang buhay upang pangalagaan ang demokrasyang ito. Ilalaan ko ang aking buhay para siguraduhin na ang ating demokrasya ay kapaki-pakinabang sa bawat isa. Namuhunan na kami ng dugo at handang gawin itong muli kung kakailanganin.
Tanyag man ang aking mga magulang at ang kanilang mga nagawa, alam ko rin ang problema ng ordinaryong mamamayan. Alam nating lahat ang pakiramdam na magkaroon ng pamahalaang bulag at bingi. Alam natin ang pakiramdam na mapagkaitan ng hustisya, na mabalewala ng mga taong pinagkatiwalaan at inatasan nating maging ating tagapagtanggol.
