 | HI UP Gimpong. This is Peter, a Linguistics major. May I know kung anu-anong mga wika ang kayang salitain ng buong kasapian ng UP gimpong?=) I understand from Kalinga kayo, at mejo marami talaga jang ethnolinguistic group.=) This will help us have an easy access should we need an informant coming from Kalinga. At in the same way, magandang promotion ito para mapag-aralan ng aspiring linguists ang mga wika nyo.=) Thanks, i'll just wait for your reply. |
 | Muli nanamang nahaharap sa hamon ang bawat iskolar ng bayan, isang hamon na dapat mapagtagumpayan upang masiguro ang pagkakaroon ng kinatawan sa Board of Regents o BOR (ang pinakamataas na policy making body ng ating unibersidad). Sa mga nakaraang araw/linggo puspusan ang ginagawang kampanya ng mga iba't-ibang student councils ng lahat ng UP units at mga concerned organizations para ipagtanggol ang opisina ng Student of Regent (dala-dala ang kanya-kanyang paniniwala). Sa pasasabatas ng bagong charter ng UP kailangang aprubahan ng karamihan sa mga estudyante ang kasalukuyang Codified Rules on Student Regent Selection o ang CRSRS. ito ay sa pamamagitan ng isang Referendum. Ano nga ba ang student regent at bakit puspusan ang pangangampanya para maipagtanggol ito? Sa madaling sabi, ang student ay ang kinatawan ng mahigit 50,000 na estudyante sa BOR, siya rin ang kinatawan ng mga estudyante sa mga panlabas na kaganapan. b Bukod dito, ang student regent ang nagtatasa at sumasangguni sa mga student councils at/o sa mga estudyante tungkol sa kalagayan ng mga ito. Ang mga isyu ng mga estudyante ay nakararating sa BOR dahil may srudent regent na may karapatang umupo at makibahagi sa mga desisyong gagawin ng BOR sa kanilang buwanang pulong. Sa magaganap na referendum, isang katanungan lamang ang ang sasagutin ng mga estudyante, ito ay kung sumasang-ayon ang mga ito sa kasalukuyang CRSRS. Ako bilang estudyante, hindi lang/hindi dahil bahagi ako ng Konseho ng mag-aaral sa UP Baguio, ay naninindigang bumoto ng YES! upang masiguro ang patuloy na pagkakaroon ng kinatawan sa BOR! pero ito ay hindi kakayanin ng ilang grupo lamang, bawat Iskolar ng Bayan ay dapat manindigan! lumbas tayo! makiisa! manindigan at sama-samang ipagtanggol ang Office of the Student regent, sa January 26-31 bumoto po tayo at YES! bawat isang boto ay mahalaga. sa UP-Baguio ang botohan ay sa Bulwagang Juan Luna (Audi) mula alas 8 ng umaga hanggang 9 ng gabi! YES! Ipagtanggol ang Office of the Student Regent! para sa iba pang detalye hinggil sa isyung ito sumangguni sa upbusc.multiply.com o kahit sino mula sa USC at outcrop! maraming salamat! |
