NEWS | WU-P rehabilitates road, drainage inside campus

In response to longstanding concerns, Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P) Cushman Campus has started road and drainage rehabilitation that is scheduled for completion in March 2025.

On a Facebook post, WU-P announced that the project intends to address the recurring issues of flooding on campus during rainy seasons which is brought by the elevation of roadways around the school, in addition to improving overall safety.

Students garnered different reactions about the ongoing rehabilitation project, expressing both positivity and concern.

“I feel happy and sad at the same time. I am happy because it helps to improve the university, while I am sad because there is no parking for those students who have a vehicle, and it is a struggle having to find parking every day,” stated Jane Pestanio, a nursing student.

During the ongoing rehabilitation, temporary detour directions have been implemented to guide everyone on campus.

The road and drainage reconstruction began last December 16, 2024, with a Groundbreaking Ceremony led by University President Irineo G. Alvaro, Jr., Vice President for Administration and Planning, Dr. Gladys P. Mangiduyos, and Vice President for Finance, Dr. Marites A. Castañeda in front of Elementary School where the first phase of the project began.

Once the construction is done, the road would later be named as Solito Toquero Avenue in remembrance of the late United Methodist Church (UMC) Bishop Solito Toquero, a university alumnus, as stated on WU-P's post.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

In the Chinese culture, the Lunar New Year is a renewal, hope, and unity celebration. In the celebratory season, families spend time together celebrating the traditions offered in red envelopes for blessings, food representing meaningfully historical backgrounds, and lively dragon dances and lantern displays to symbolize prosperity and joy.

This Year of the Snake reminds all of us of the power of wisdom, resilience, and transformation. Let this year bring strength to overcome, embrace change, and find new beginnings as a snake sheds its skin.

Happy Chinese New Year, Wesleyanians! Let the Year of the Snake bring wisdom, abundance, and happiness to all.

NEWS | COEd pins 90 Pre-Service Teachers

The pre-service teachers of the College of Education (COEd) achieved another milestone as they received their pin during the Pinning and Consecration Ceremony at the WU-P Auditorium last January 10.

Ninety pre-service teachers, composed of three students from the Bachelor of Early Childhood Education, 33 from the Bachelor of Elementary Education, six from the Bachelor of Secondary Education majoring in Mathematics, three majoring in Values Education, five majoring in Social Studies, one majoring in Filipino, 24 majoring in English, and 15 from the Bachelor of Physical Education are set to begin their 520-hour classroom internship starting next week.

Guided by the theme “Planting Purpose, Rooted in Service, Growing Educators of Tomorrow,” the COEd Dean, Lucille Grace C. Hillario, emphasized that teachers are one of the main reasons for the growth of the students.

“We are called to plant, not only the literal seeds but plant in the hearts of people, especially to our students, the wisdom and love of God.” stated Dean Hilario.

“Provide them the quality time to nurture and water them. Don’t forget to pray for every seed that you’ll be planting,” the COED Dean added.

Dr. Wilfredo C. Ramos, Vice President for Academic Affairs, also reminded that the pre-service educators will be the key in shaping the future people of this generation, pointing out the importance of teachers in the lives of every person.

“Plant the seed of wisdom, knowledge, and purpose in the hearts of students. Like gardeners tending to a field, we labor with dedication and love, knowing the fruits of our efforts will shape the future,” stated VPAA Ramos.

On the other hand, Guest Speaker and Vice President for Administration and Planning (VPAP) Dr. Gladys P. Mangiduyos gave an inspirational message. In her message VPAP Mangiduyos presented the eight-hour magical secrets of a classroom as metaphor to the extent of influence a teacher has on students everyday.

“Tayo ang nagdadala ng liwanag, bumubuo ng malalim na kahalagahan, at naglilinang ng lahat ng nasa loob ng classroom.” explained Mangiduyos.

She added, “The pin symbolizes authority and accountability, molding and guiding your students under your care.”

The ceremony ended with Pinning and Candle Lighting Ceremony as the symbol of their dedication and purpose, followed by a special song by the pre-service teachers.

NEWS | SSC, ALAB orient Academic Scholars

Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P) held an orientation for Academic Scholars for the second semester of A.Y. 2024–2025, spearheaded by the newly established organization, Academic Leaders Alliance for Betterment (ALAB), in collaboration with the Supreme Student Council (SSC).

Aligned with the purpose of discussing the duties and responsibilities of Academic Scholars, the event was held at the WU-P Auditorium last January 10.

ALAB President, Mark Angelo Santiago stated the requirements, duties, and responsibilities to be eligible as an Academic Scholar.

According to Santiago, the documentary requirements for scholarship application are the Certificate of grades, and scholarship form from the Office of Student Affairs (OSA).

Also, he added that a grade of no less than 2.0 must be obtained in order to be eligible to apply as stated from the guidelines of OSA. Different discount percentages may be availed depending on the grades.

Furthermore, academic scholars are also required to attend 6 to 7 events of their choice every semester, while attending the WU-P election and miting de abanse are mandatory.

"The first assembly signifies a reflection of everything our university holds dear—scholarship, character, and service.

SPORTS FEATURE | Era Bauto, Checkmate to Success

With chess pieces on the board serving as troops and the player acting as the general, a chessboard is a battleground of strategy and mind where players compete to outsmart the opponent player.

Wesleyan Knights chess player and National PRISAA 2024 silver medalist, Era Bauto, shared the story of his triumphs in chess, which shows how resilience and determination can pave the way to success, even in the face of adversity. At just the age of 22, the BS Psychology student from the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) has proven that perseverance may lead to great achievements, regardless of the challenges.

Bauto’s love for chess began in his childhood, inspired by his father’s love for the game. “Yung father ko [ay] naglalaro rin ng chess, siguro namana [ko na yon] and nagustuhan ko rin. Siya talaga [yung] nagpakilala sa akin ng chess,” he recalled, speaking fondly of how his father became a king figure to him who not only taught him the rules but also inspired his passion for the sport.

The game of chess, known for its emphasis on strategy, focus, and mental acuity, became the perfect outlet for his competitive spirit. As a key player of the Wesleyan Knights chess team, his preparation for tournaments involved a rigorous training regimen, twice a week with the guidance of their coaches. “Pinagti-train kami ng coach namin at inaaral namin kung paano [gawin] yung opening, [pati na rin kung] paano ang [mga posibleng] mangyari. Medyo komplikado,” he added.

But it’s not just the strategies exhibited during the match that has carried Bauto to success, he also highlighted determination and the spirit of camaraderie. “Kasi ‘pag naglalaro kami, may kasama [ring] saya — kasama ko mga kaibigan ko. Hindi lang kami nag fo-focus sa laro, iniiisip din namin kung paano mag saya ron,” he explained. By fostering an enjoyable atmosphere, everything will be balanced and will result in better focus and performance. “Kasi pag balance talaga mas focused yung pag iisip mo,” he added.

Of course, the road to success has not always been easy. Like many great chess players, Bauto has faced obstacles that almost stopped him in his journey. He recalled a harrowing moment during the last National PRISAA tournament where he collapsed due to an accident. “Yung huling laban ko naaksidente ako [at] nag-collapse rin ako. Hindi na nila ako pinaglaro pero naglaro pa rin ako,’’ he recounted, reflecting on the drive that fueled him. Although those tough moments felt like a nightmare to him, he still considers them as memorable experiences. Rather than allowing these obstacles to hold him back, he chose to persevere, pushing himself with grit to keep advancing in his chess journey.

Looking back on his accomplishments, Bauto expresses his gratitude to everyone who have supported him along the way.‘’Nagpapasalamat ako sa Wesleyan, sa mga coach namin [si] Sir Gener Subia, Sir Dr. Henry Cocoy Nacpil, [at kay] President Dr. Ireneo Alvaro Jr., na talaga hindi kami pinapabayaan,’’ he expressed with appreciation for giving him the strength to continue pursuing his passion and striving for excellence.

Bauto's approach to chess and life is defined by his perseverance, as he overcomes many obstacles in his game and personal life, much like a pawn overcoming the challenges on the chessboard. Nonetheless, he consistently decided to overthrow them. Whether he's preparing on the chessboard or reflecting on the lessons he's learned along the road, one thing is certain: Era Bauto's checkmate to success is just the beginning.

NEWS | Ecumenical Mass, isinagawa para kay Mary Jane Veloso

Sa bisperas ng ika-40 kaarawan ni Mary Jane Veloso, nagtipon ang kanyang pamilya, Migrante International, at iba’t ibang grupo sa isang ecumenical gathering at house-to-house petition signing na ginanap sa United Church of Christ in the Philippines (UCCP) sa
Brgy. Burol, General Natividad, Nueva Ecija nitong ika-9 ng Enero.

Layunin ng pagkilos na ito na ipanawagan kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ang pagbibigay ng clemency para kay Mary Jane, na kasalukuyang nakakulong sa Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) sa Mandaluyong.

Dumalo sa pagtitipon ang mga lider-simbahan, miyembro ng komunidad, at mga kinatawan mula sa Save Mary Jane Task Force, Migrante International, at Bayan Muna Central Luzon.

Matapos ang programa, nagsagawa ng house-to-house campaign sa mga kalapit na lugar upang mangalap ng pirma bilang suporta sa petisyon para sa kanyang kalayaan.

Ayon kay Cesar Veloso, ama ni Mary Jane, nananatili silang umaasa na mabibigyan ng hustisya ang kaniyang anak at nakatakda silang tumungo sa CIW upang ipagdiwang ang kaniyang kaarawan.

Inilipat si Veloso sa Pilipinas noong ika-18 ng Disyembre, 2024 nang aprubahan ng gobyerno ng Indonesia, sa pangunguna ni Prabowo Subianto, ang kaniyang repatriation dahilan upang sa kauna-unahang panahon ay makasama niya ang kaniyang pamilya para sa pagdiriwang ng pasko.

Gayunpaman, siya ay mananatili sa CIW nang 60 araw bago ilipat sa itinakdang pasilidad kung saan niya tatapusin ang kanyang sentensya.

Sa Pebrero 19, 2025, nakatalagang isagawa ang susunod na pagdinig kaugnay ng mga kasong qualified human trafficking, illegal recruitment, at estafa laban sa mga recruiter ni Mary Jane na sina Ma. Cristina Sergio at Julius Lacanilao.

Samantala, nananawagan ang pamilya ni Mary Jane at iba’t ibang grupong sumusuporta sa kanyang laban para sa mas malawak na pagkakaisa mula sa publiko at iba’t ibang sektor, na naglalayong makamit ang hustisya at kalayaan para sa Pilipinang naging sagisag ng laban kontra human trafficking.

ATTENTION | WU-P issues detour directions due to current campus road, drainage construction

As classes are set to resume tomorrow, Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P) provides detour instruction for entrance and exit gates, drop-off points, and parking areas for students and employees in the university due to the ongoing road and drainage rehabilitation.

In their page, WU-P states that this is “to ensure safety and accessibility” within the campus amidst the construction.

As per the University’s directions, Main Gate, North Maharlika Gate, Gate 6, and Hospital Gates are open for entrance and exits of all students and employees without vehicles, while the Elementary Gate is temporarily opened to prioritize the drop off of students under Center for Child Development (CCD), Support for the Handicapped and Their Rehabilitation Through Education (SHARE), Elementary, and Junior High School departments.

While all gates are designated as drop-off points for students, employees with vehicles may still access the Hospital Gate, which serves as both entrance and exit for vehicles, and they may park at Plaza Acacia or College of Hospitality and Tourism Management (CHTM) parking areas on a first-come, first-served basis.

Meanwhile, North Gate is only open as entrance of vehicles to access “Drop Off Elem” and “Drop Off Gym”.

For further guidance, a directional signage is posted on Junior High School Gate to usher pedestrians, and security personnel at the gates will also assist the navigation and ensure safety.

The road and drainage improvement project, which began last December 16, 2024, aims to improve safety, enhance the road usage experience, and resolve the flooding problem in the campus during the rainy season caused by the elevation of the roads surrounding the university.

Sa pagpasok ng bagong taon, may kasamang bagong pag-asang magbibigay inspirasyon sa bawat Pilipinong naghahangad sa mas magandang hinaharap, at sa paghilom sa mga sugat na dulot ng nagdaang taon. Kasabay nito ay ang pag-usbong ng natatanging taglay na lakas na siyang nahubog ng mga nakaraang pagsubok na naging pundasyon upang magpatuloy sa ating tinatahak na landas.

Ito ang marka ng pagsibol ng bagong liwanag na huhubog sa mas matapang na mga mamamayang Pilipino.

Tayo'y magkaisa na ipagdiwang ang tunay na kahulugan ng bagong taon, na may kasamang sipag, tiyaga, tapang, at pagmamahalan sa isa't isa. Ito ay hindi ang pagtatapos, kundi simula pa lamang ng ating paglalakbay patungo sa tagumpay.

“One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost, and it will not present itself again." - Dr. Jose Rizal.

These are the words he lived up to. He fought for the rights of the oppressed, not through violence, but through words that could stir emotions, open minds, and inspire action. His writings awakened the Filipino spirit, driving the nation to pursue justice, freedom, and the courage to defend their homeland.

As we commemorate this year's Rizal Day, let us honor the hero who gave his life for the freedom of our country. May we always remember that his works gave a lasting impact to the Filipinos, playing a significant role in the independence that we have today.

It is a season to connect, cherish, and create lasting memories. Let’s embrace the spirit of generosity and unity, sharing joy and hope with those around us.

BALITA | Wesleyanian, bumida sa 3rd International & National Gender and Development Research Congress

Nakamit ng isang professor mula sa College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) ng Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P) na si Jerski Jarzen Duria ang 2nd Place Best Paper sa nagdaang 3rd International and National Gender and Development Research Congress nitong Nobyembre 20-22, 2024.

Inilunsad ito sa Research and Extension Amphitheater, Central Luzon State University, Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija na may temang “Futures Thinking in Technological Advancement for Gender Inclusivity.”

Ibinida niya ang kahalagahan at pagkakaiba ng natatanggap na benipisyo ng mga taong naghatid ng tulong laban sa mga tinulungan sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang papel na ‘Gendered Exploitation: Content Examination and Analysis of Selected Poverty P**n Vloggers in the Philippines’,

“We Filipinos, we believe that those kind of things is a kind of help pero in reality, ginagamit lang tayo para sa kanilang self interest,” ani Duria.

Ayon sa mag-aaral, ang paggawa ng ‘content’ na may kinalaman sa pagtulong ay maaaring base sa tunay na pakikipagkapwa-tao o ito ay nagiging ‘poverty porn’ kung saan ginagamit ang ibang tao lalo na ang mahihirap para lamang sa pansariling pag-angat.

“Theoretical yung study however, eye-opener siya na hindi lahat ng klase ng tulong ay tinutulungan ka, yung ibang tulong ay self-serving, na sila mismo ang nagbe-benefit at hindi ikaw. Pag ginagamitan na ng video at ginagamit na para sa content, doon siya nagiging problematic kasi hindi naman lahat ng tulong ay kailangan ng video unless may gusto kang makuha on your side,” dagdag niya.

Matatandaang ilang beses na itong sumali sa magkaparehong kompetisyon tulad noong nakaraang taon na kaniyang nasungkit ang ika-unang pwesto sa titulong ‘Best Paper’ bitbit ang institusyon.

Samantala, inihayag rin ni Duria ang kahalagahan ng pananaliksik upang maintindihan ang nangyayari sa lipunan at mga hinaing ng masa.

“Walang nakakatakot sa research dahil you’re asking questions and also researching—at the end of the day, gumagawa tayo ng research hindi para sa atin kung hindi para sa ikabubuti ng mga nasa paligid natin lalong lalo na para sa taong bayan,” muling sambit nito.

Local artists came together and delivered performances during Wesleyan University-Philippines' (WU-P) Paskuhan 2024 Concert on December 13 at Plaza Acacia.

The Supreme Student Council (SSC) facilitated the event with the theme, “WeSleighan Ride Home: Paskong Pagbabalik Tahanan".

Among the performers were Kween Yasmin, Calein, and Wesleyan alumnus, Will talks who found his way back home in Wesleyan.

Meanwhile, Say Cheeze, The Midpoint, Outbreak, Noodlez, and 3100 also ignited the event with their performances.

“It’s good to be back” is the hashtag of podcaster, Will talks, as he returns to his alma mater, WU-P, to give an emotional talk to the Wesleyanians during Paskuhan 2024.

“Pinalungkot ko 'yong sarili ko, dinamay ko 'yong mga past heartbreaks ko," he added, when asked about the preparations he did for his performance.

Will talks said that he did this to relate more to the audience and give a memorable experience.

“The best. Sa lahat siguro ng napagperform-an ko so far, ito yung favorite ko na crowd” are the words he said regarding his experience in performing at Paskuhang Wesleyan 2024.

According to first-year student, Francheska Ramos, Paskuhan 2024 was a blast as she enjoyed the epic performances in the concert, and that it exceeded her expectations.

“Since I am a first-year student, my expectations are high, especially when it comes to concerts, bands, and such since I came from a school where concerts are taken seriously. WUP’s concert this year was a blast, as it matched and even exceeded my expectations. It was truly a great experience, as all bands and social media influencers performed so well that it made the crowd experience different kinds of emotions. There are some na natatawa, napapasigaw, napapasayaw, at kinikilig, including me. This year’s paskuhan will surely be a day to remember,” Ramos stated.

However, the first-year student also added that there are some aspects that need to be improved for next year’s paskuhan.

“I think some areas that should be improved focus on technical areas, so that delays in performances can be minimized or prevented and also the crowds behavior, especially when it comes to cleanliness,” Ramos added.

NEWS | Gawad Parangal awards WU-P’s outstanding student leaders, organizations Wesleyan University-Philippines (WU-P) recognized students who excel in leadership and service, as well as College Local Councils (CLCs), Supreme Student Council (SSC), and Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs) in Gawad Parangal 2024 with the theme “Noir Brilliance Golden Accolades,” held yesterday night, June 13, at the University Gymnasium. The event was organized by the Office of the Student Affairs (OSA), Supreme Student Council (SSC), and Genré; and was graced by the presence of officers from various university organizations. Dr. Wilfredo Ramos, Vice President of Academic Affairs, celebrated the success of the students as he gave them an inspirational message, while Rev. Freddie Cardenas Sr. vindicated the student leaders. Meanwhile, OSA Director, Dr. Henry Cocoy Nacpil, emphasized the importance of recognizing and celebrating the students’ achievements beyond academic means, and their service to their fellow students. “Those exemplary students deserve to be recognized for their efforts, for their talents, and for their advocacy for whatever they believe in as students of Wesleyan. So I believe this is an avenue for our university to give the right kind of inspiration, not just [by] giving the awards but also to inspire others to become the best possible student leaders or students they can be,” Dr. Nacpil said. The ceremony also paved way for the transfer of service from outgoing to incoming SSC officers through Passing the Baton; and a formal declaration and acceptance of the new set of student leaders through an oath-taking. As the event marks the first one organized by the new set of SSC, newly-elected SSC President, Arianne Claire Rivera, expressed her burning passion to serve. Rivera stated, “I feel really elated and, at the same time, para bang ano—really nag-spark ‘yung passion namin.” #Genré #OurCommitmentYourPaper
