NEWS | PLM CHASS snatches Binibini at Ginoong Pamantasan 2024 crowns

Lakas ng Pamantasan, buhay na buhay!

Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (CHASS) representatives were crowned as the first Binibini at Ginoong Pamantasan 2024 at the Justo Albert Auditorium, June 20.

With a score of 91.58%, Jar-el Beatrice Garcia won as the Binibining Pamantasan, while July Andrei Alfonso, with a score of 89.25%, was crowned as the Ginoong Pamantasan, both representing CHASS.

In her winning answer, Binibining Pamantasan Jar-el Beatrice Garcia was asked about her stance on mandatory ROTC.

“My stand on the mandatory ROTC is that I am completely against it. Why? Because I believe that we should give or we should consider first the welfare of our students. We have to consider that not everyone is capable of going through the ROTC method. Although it might be effective for some, [but] we must put into consideration na hindi para po sa lahat ang ROTC. As a premier people’s university, that is something that we should uphold the most. Dapat ang mga tao, dapat ang constituents natin ang ating pina-priority,” she responded.

On the other hand, Ginoong Pamantasan July Andrei Alfonso was asked how he would promote a safe space at the university once crowned.

“I believe that being Mr. Pamantasan is not just inside the school but can also a reflect outside of the school. Once I win Mr. Pamantasan, I know that I will be able to uphold a safety environment to everyone by being an example to them. By showing them that Pamantasan is really a premier school, na lahat tayo rito, lahat ng pinag-aaralan natin ay talagang magagamit natin even outside the school. Since alam naman natin na yung mga pumipila para sa PLM at maraming tumitingala para sa Pamantasan and I will make sure that every core value that we have is mapapakita natin yan sa mga estudyante natin dito sa Pamantasan,” he stated.

Binibini runners-up were Altheyya Nicole Lopez from the College of Business Administration (CBA) coming in first with a score of 85.98%, while College of Public Administration (CPA) Salvie Delfin Mazo achieved a score of 82.05%, placing in second.

In addition, Ginoo runners-up were College of Nursing (CN) candidate Abriane Raf A. Serrana achieved a score of 88.98% securing first, while Prince Cedie Decino in second with a score of 77.8%, representing CPA.

Aside from Bb. Pamantasan 2024, Garcia also bagged the Best Evening Gown and Best Advocacy Video, together with Ginoong Pamantasan 2024 Alfonso, who also achieved the Best Casual Wear.

For the Binibini special awards, first runner up Lopez from CBA won as the Best Talent, while second runner up Mazo from CPA was awarded as the Best Casual Wear and Best Sportswear.

On the other hand, in the Ginoo category, first runner up Serrana from CN won Best Suit and Best Talent, while Decino from CPA was awarded Best Sportswear.

The event featured an esteemed panel of judges, including Dr. Lynnette Cleto, Acting Director of the Office of Student Development and Services; Dr. Dan Michael Cortez, Vice President for Academic Research and Extension Services; Dr. Ronaldo Tan, Vice President for Administration; Atty. Relson Moral, PLM Chief Executive Staff; and University President, Atty. Domingo "Sir Sonny" Reyes, Jr. along with a special guest Miss Manila Diana Dayao.

The winners of Binibining and Ginoong Pamantasan 2024 will advance to compete in the intercollegiate competition.

NEWS | PLM kicks off Day 2 of its 59th founding anniversary with games, thanksgiving mass, a guest band visit

On its second day of the five-day celebration, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) commenced a series of games, a thanksgiving mass, an employee service awards rites, and a special guesting of the Wish 107.5 bus with its guest Filipino alternative rock band, Mayonnaise, June 19.

As early as 9AM, the PLM Supreme Student Council (SSC) opened Day 2 of the celebration with a series of Carnival Games such as Strongman Tug, Dodgeball, and Trip to Jerusalem, where all students of the university were encouraged to participate.

The activity narrowed down to five (5) participating colleges namely: College of Accountancy, College of Business Administration, College of Education, College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; and College of Engineering competed for the top three awards: Overall Champion and 1st and 2nd Runners-Up.

According to Edwin Espinas, head of the Founding Anniversary’s Student Activities, this celebration marks another year of fulfilling “manifestations and excellence” to be met in the succeeding years from its students and every individual in the university.

“Sana through this founding anniversary natin is we are able to have everyone be included and feel na this event is for them and that they are being part of the entirety of this celebration,” he added.

While the students were enjoying a fun under the sun at the Tanghalang Bayan, several staff and faculty members observed a moment of spiritual soliloquy at the university chapel for the Thanksgiving Mass headed by Rev. Fr. Christian “Toots” Buenafe, OCarm.

In his homily, Rev. Fr. Buenafe, OCarm., said “Kung ano ang atin ngayon, ng present generation, dahil ‘yon sa pagsisikap ng mga nauna sa atin”

He also emphasized that there is a higher calling for the institution to not only train students professionally but also produce persons with integrity and honesty among others.

After the mass, all employees of PLM feasted on lunch at the University Activity Center (UAC) followed by the Program on Recognition of Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (PRAISE) Awards at the Justo Albert Auditorium for employees and faculty members for their service tenure.

The highlight of the celebration arrived around three in the afternoon as the Wish 107.5 bus parked near the UAC with guest band, Mayonnaise. Students surrounded the bus to catch the performance of the 2004 Red Horse Muziklaban grand winner.

Among the setlist was the iconic “Jopay” which was adored by Haribons.

Aside from the Day 2 celebration, the same day marks the signing of Republic Act 4196 or the “An Act Authorizing the City of Manila to Establish and Operate the University of the City of Manila and for Other Purposes”, otherwise known as the “PLM Charter” in which President Diosdado Macapagal signed 59 years ago.

ISKUWENTO | Ang Paglitaw ng Matingkad na Bahaghari

Lumaki ako sa isang silid na may samu’t saring kulay. Tila ba isa akong bahagharing mahiyain, nakatago sa mga ulap sa himpapawid. Bagamat tago, masaya pa rin naman akong namamalagi rito. Ngunit, may katanungang patuloy na umiinog sa aking isipan — makulay pa rin kayang mamuhay sa labas ng mga kaulapan kung maraming tumutuligsa sa sarili kong pamantayan?

Paslit pa lamang ako, batid ko nang may kakaiba sa akin. Sapagkat hindi katulad ng pasubali ng iba, may kagustuhan akong taliwas sa kanilang paniniwala. Minsan kong sinubok ihayag ang pagsalungat sa kanilang kinagisnan ngunit panghuhusga at panunuya lamang ang aking nakuha. Nakakatakot—tila ba isa akong salot. Parang may kapansanang hindi madadala ng kahit anong gamot. Kung kaya’t naisipan ko na lamang lumagi sa isang sulok.

Sa pananalagi ko sa loob ng tila aparador na silid, dinig ko ang mga panaghoy at pagtangis. Nasaksihan ko ang iba’t ibang karahasan, biktima ang ‘sang kabaklaan. Puno ng diskriminasyon, wala raw kaming mapupuntahang destinasyon. Walang lugar sa tahanan ng lumikha ng langit at lupa, maging sa lipunang patuloy kaming kinukutsa. Dahil sa pakiwari na malaking kasalanan ang hindi tumalima sa nakasanayang alituntunin ng mala-santong madla. Isang pagkakamali na dapat tuwidin. Gawi ng mga baliko’y hindi dapat tangkilikin.

Subalit, itanggi man nang paulit-ulit; ikubli man nang maraming beses, ang bahagharing gaya ko’y lilitaw rin. Sa dami ng pag-ulang naranasan, may araw ring darating. Kung saan ang mga ulap ay magiging pakpak, lilipad ako sa alapaap bitbit ang giting at tapang. May kumpiyansa sa sarili, ihahayag ang pagkatao kong may matayog na pangarap. Haharapin kung ano mang bagyo ang dumating. Sapagkat, aanhin ko nga ba ang papuri ng iba kung bulag ako sa sarili kong katauhan? Kung magiging sunod-sunuran lamang ako sa kung ano man ang idikta ng mapanghusgang lipunan?

Ang pagladlad ko’y katapusan ng katahimikan. Pagwawakas na maituturing kong bagong simula. Ito’y kalayaan na kay tagal kong nang hinihintay. Marahil isang tagumpay mula sa aming hanay. Sawa na ‘kong magbalat kayo! Ayoko na magtago sa kaanyuan ng hindi ko naman ginusto. Mula sa araw na ito, yayakapin na nang buong-buo; pipiliin na ang sarili; panghuhusga ng iba ay aking isasantabi. ‘Pagkat ano’t sino man ako, lagi naman silang may hindi magandang nasasabi. Kung kaya’y hindi na mahihiya, isisiwalat na kung sino ako sa madla. Dahil ang paglitaw ko ay simbolo ng matingkad na bahaghari — namumukadkad ang kulay at may pag-asang taglay.

Masarap din pa lang mabuhay ng ganito. Walang iniisip na pagkukunwari. Malaya ang puso at isip. Hindi pigil ang emosyon. Hindi na nakakulong sa kung saan lamang sang-ayon ang lipunan buhat ng limitasyong sa ami’y kinahon. Subalit batid kong malayo pa ang lalakbayin ng aming hanay. Kaya’t hiling ng puso’y pumanig na sa amin ang ihip ng panahon — isakatuparan na marahil ang batas na sa amin ay nararapat. Dahil bahagi man ng bahaghari, kami’y tao rin. Makasalanan man kung ituring, ang pagwawalang-hiya sa mga bading ay karahasan din.

At sa mga kapwa ko bading, ating ibandera ang matingkad na kulay sapagka’t tayo’y natatangi — pinamamayanihan ng katapangan sa lipunang puno ng pangkakahon; ng mga matang mapanghusga’t lipos sa diskriminasyon. Ipaglaban ang sa ati’y ipinagkakait at isigaw ang ating karapatan; ang kagandahan ng ating bahaghari.

Isang pagbati ng maligayang buwan ng pride, aking kapwa mandirigma!

NEWS | PLM commences 59th Founding Anniversary

Manila’s premiere university, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) commenced 59th Founding Anniversary: the road to 60 and beyond with the theme “Pagbabago sa Pamantasan tungo sa Kaunlaran” during the Flag Raising and Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the Tanghalang Bayan and Dr. Jose Rizal Monument, June 18.

University President Atty. Domingo Y. Reyes Jr. led the opening ceremony along with Manila City Mayor Dra. Maria Sheilah “Honey” Lacuna-Pangan, and Prof. Antonio Villegas, son of the late city mayor.

In her speech, Mayor Lacuna congratulated PLM on their founding day and thanked the late Mayor Villegas for his legacy. She also emphasized the city’s continuous support for the university in producing students who excel in various fields.

Meanwhile, Pres. Reyes also lauded the several students who excelled in different fields such as Joyce Ramos, Joniel Bolocon, Georgeson Yssrael Guray, and Mushi Araf Jihad D. Yahya. Moreover, he also congratulated PLM alumni Dr. Gina F. Padilla and College of Law faculty Hon. Anne Perpetua S. Rivera-Sia for being recognized at the Gawad Manileño.

Furthermore, the University President announced the memorandum of understanding between PLM and Xiamen Effie Overseas Education, the agency who previously partnered with Rizal Technological University (RTU) and Central Philippine University (CPU), Iloilo City, bringing over 200 international students to attend the universities.

“Para po sa pagtanggap natin sa graduate school ng mga foreigners. Again, inuulit ko walang madidisplace na estudyante na Pilipino. Ito po ay online. Ito po ay malugod nating sinisimulan dahil kailangan po natin ng internationalization. Kasi nga po, nabanggit ko noong isang linggo, magpapadala naman ang PLM, hopefully, ng apat na na mag-aaral sa Taiwan para sa kanilang Master’s Degree Program,” Pres. Reyes said.

PLM’s week-long anniversary celebration comprises several activities and competitions such as Binibini at Ginoong Pamantasan 2024, Employees Service Awards Rites (PRAISE), Singing and Dance Competition, Intramurals, as well as the arrival of Wish 107.5 Bus, and the JENGA Challenge which will award Php 40,000.00 to the champion. The festivities will culminate on June 22, Saturday, with the Alumni Homecoming.

NEWS | PLM SCOA reports updates on audit process; lays stricter penalties for negative audit opinion

As imposed by the Office of Student Development and Services (OSDS), the PLM Student Commission on Audit (SCOA) adopted stricter penalties for organizations and councils that will receive a negative opinion from the Commission, June 10.

Pursuant to Memorandum No. OSDS_SOA_2023_0707_01, student councils and organizations with unqualified or qualified audit opinions are declared as “cleared” and shall continue with their operations and activities for the next academic year.

However, student organizations which will receive adverse audit opinions will be declared as “not cleared” and shall “automatically revoke their re-accreditation for the next academic year.” On the other hand, student councils will also be “prohibited from conducting any activities for the first semester of the academic year” should they receive the same adverse audit opinion.

Just last May 20 to May 25, PLM SCOA conducted its first batch of exit meetings and announced the School of Government Student Council as cleared. Academic organizations including Christ, the Living Stone Fellowship Lighthouse, Medical Union for Service, PLM College Y Club, PLM Guild of Allied Health Advocates, PLM Pre-Law Society, PLM Psychological Society, and The Jesus Impact were also cleared.

SCOA noted usual findings during the audit process, which include the lack of dedicated e-wallet or bank accounts for organization or council use, errors in recording in the book of accounts, loss of original receipts, failure to prepare the required supporting documents, improper use of the required forms, and the lack of internal control over assets.

As of date, all organizations and councils have complied with and submitted the key requirements by the Commission. PLM SCOA’s operations, which were suspended from May 27 to June 8 in light of the finals week, are set to resume on June 10.

Due to delays in complying with the deadline for the revision noted in the Audit Observation Memorandum, the deadline for exit meetings and clearance signing for graduating organizations and councils has been moved to June 15, whereas non-graduating organizations’ deadline is set on June 27.

The Commission also continues to coordinate with the Vice President for Research, Academic, and Extension Services along with the OSDS before proceeding to the exit meetings with councils and organizations.
